The US leg of the Lighthouse tour kicks off in November
Duff McKagan is celebrating the release of his double live record, Tenderness: Live in Los Angeles, by announcing the US leg of his Lighthouse Tour ’24 in support of his critically acclaimed latest studio record, Lighthouse. The trek begins on November 4th at Boston’s Paradise and ends on November 20th at Seattle’s Showbox.
Pre-sales begin on Tuesday, June 4th followed by the general sale on Friday, June 7th at 10 am local time.
The Lighthouse ‘24 Tour gets underway September 30th at Dublin, Ireland’s The Academy with stops in Scotland, England, the Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, France, and Sweden through late October.
Recorded June 13, 2019, at Los Angeles’ historic El Rey Theatre just days following Tenderness‘ May 2019 release, the concert recording sees McKagan taking an intimate journey through his canon of songs along with a few deeply personal cover versions, backed by three-time Grammy Award-winning Tenderness producer Shooter Jennings and his band.
Newly mixed in the legendary Sunset Sound Studio 3 by Jennings using the famed custom API console on which Prince recorded and mixed Purple Rain, Tenderness Live in Los Angeles is further highlighted by powerful takes on The Clash’s classic “Clampdown” and such Guns N’ Roses fan favorites as “You Ain’t the First,” “Dust N’ Bones,” and “Dead Horse.” But at its heart, the set casts a spotlight on McKagan’s own striking songcraft, with live versions of tracks originally featured on Tenderness, including the volatile rocker, “Chip Away,” which earned extraordinary praise from the Maestro himself, Bob Dylan, who recently declared the song a personal favorite.
Tenderness marked a powerful new chapter for the ever-evolving McKagan, taking on societal ills and his transgressions against a rich sonic backdrop of Americana-fueled arrangements. Fueled by such songs as the nuanced “It’s Not Too Late” and the deeply hopeful title track, Tenderness was met by widespread acclaim.
