The song is the latest from Lighthouse: Live From London
Duff McKagan gives another powerful glimpse into his upcoming live album, Lighthouse: Live From London, with the release of the medley, “Holy Water/I Wanna Be Your Dog.” Fusing “Holy Water” with The Stooges’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” the track captures McKagan’s band at their rawest and most unrestrained, and offers another taste of what can be expected from the new live project, out October 31st, a release that showcases McKagan’s signature mix of grit, melody, and heart-on-sleeve intensity.
The 19-track collection will be available in a wide variety of formats, including digital, CD digipak, CD/Blu-ray digipak (with live audio and the complete concert film), 2 LP 180-gram black vinyl (with gatefold sleeve and ticket replica), and limited edition 2 LP 180-gram black vinyl (with live audio, complete concert film, gatefold sleeve, and autographed ticket replica signed by McKagan).
Lighthouse: Live From London was heralded over the summer with the release of the first two singles and videos – an unforgettable take on the plaintive fan favorite “Longfeather,” followed by “Fallen Ones.” The album was recorded and filmed on October 5, 2024, before a sold-out crowd at London, England’s historic Islington Assembly Hall during his sold-out Lighthouse Tour ’24. It sees McKagan and his band performing songs from throughout the iconic musician-songwriter’s legendary career, including stellar renditions of tracks originally found on his critically acclaimed third solo album, 2023’s Lighthouse.
Lighthouse Tour ’24 saw McKagan lighting up sold-out houses across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom, joined by his murderer’s row of musicians, guitarist Tim DiJulio, guitarist/keyboardist Jeff Fielder, bassist Mike Squires, and drummer Michael Musburger, with live sound engineered by longtime collaborator Martin Feveyear. Recorded and mixed by Feveyear, Lighthouse collects electrifying in-concert versions of such McKagan originals as “I Saw God on 10th St.” “Lighthouse,” and the volatile “Chip Away” (a personal favorite of Bob Dylan himself), along with breakneck performances of The Stooges’ “I Wanna Be Your Dog,” The Crickets’ (by way of The Bobby Fuller Four and The Clash) “I Fought The Law,” and Guns N’ Roses’ classic “You’re Crazy.” What’s more, the project features a very special guest appearance by Sex Pistols co-founding guitarist Steve Jones that sees the two friends (and Neurotic Outsiders bandmates) joining forces for once-in-a-lifetime renditions of Johnny Thunders’ “Can’t Put Your Arms Around a Memory” and David Bowie’s “Heroes.”
