Filmed with four cameras, over two shows at Union Hall, Brooklyn, on October 27th, 2008, this film is especially for those of you who miss the live experience: the sweat, the proximity, the forgotten lyrics. This is far better than a Zoom show with me sitting at my desk: it looks and sounds beautiful. It’s what you really want to see (as opposed to being the only thing we can bring you) and it’s the absolute closest thing to being at one of my shows. And - as luck would have it - I’m playing all your favorite songs. How do I know? Because we asked you to choose the setlist way back then, and you did.

John Wesley Harding brings his unique brand of folk rock to the Bagley Wright Theatre as part of Seattle's celebrated Bumbershoot music festival, performing crowd-pleasers such as "Miss Fortune," "Female Rambling Sailor," "The Lady Dressed in Green" and "Hamlet." Joining Harding onstage are the Love Hall Tryst, the Minstrel in the Galleries, Harmoniemusik, Scott MacCaughey and Robyn Hitchcock as the narrator.
