Damon & Naomi w/Ltd-ed Live DVD

A DVD from each and every D&N tour would not be unwelcome around these parts...

By Fred Mills

Damon & Naomi's homegrown label 20/20/20 Records just announced a live D&N DVD available exclusively at their website (http://www.damonandnaomi.com/ merchandise/merch.html). Titled Shibuya 0-Nest 2008, it's a limited edition so don't sit on your hands if you're a fan.

The document of Damon & Naomi's 2007-08 tour included Michio Kurihara, on lead guitar; Bhob Rainey, on soprano sax (of nmperign); Helena Espvall, on cello (of Espers); and special guest Masaki Batoh (of Ghost).

Here's the scoop, from the label:

Last January, in support of their 2007 album Within These Walls, D&N embarked on their longest tour in history, ending with two spectacular nights in Tokyo.  These shows were filmed by Hiroo Ishihara (collaborator on the now sold out limited edition DVD for The Earth Is Blue tour), and armed with this new footage, Ishihara has created a beautiful document of D&N's 2007/8 live show. There is absolutely no overlap in material from the previous DVD of 2005(!).  This new set features a number of songs from Within These Walls, but also several older songs not usually played live, which were performed at the request of their Japanese hosts (reaching all the way back to This Car Climbed Mt. Washington, from More Sad Hits).
