New album, “Lighthouse: Live From London”, out on October 31st!
Recorded and filmed October 5, 2024, before a sold-out crowd at London, England’s historic Islington Assembly Hall, ‘Lighthouse: Live from London’ 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: Live from London’ 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, ‘Lighthouse: Live from London’ 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.
