From our little stage to your speakers It would be pretty tough to be more excited about just about anything than we are about Damien Rice deciding to release an album of tunes recorded right here on our really not quite so humble of a stage (any more, anyway.). Those of you who were lucky enough to catch this once in a lifetime performance probably don’t need to read any further. For those who have only heard about it, as far as we can tell, it was Damien’s first ever in-store performance, and is one of only two live recordings he’s ever allowed to be released.
Here is the track listing for …Warts and All:
1. Cannonball
2. Coconut Skins
3. Intro
4. Grey Room
5. Volcano
6. Intro
7. Rootless Tree
8. I Remember
You can watch pretty great fan videos here and here.
This was truly a once in a lifetime experience. I’ve seen many live performance here, by none like this one. To be so close and intimate with Damien Rice, I was literally 3 feet away from the front of the stage. He was amazing. The release of this album is bitter sweet for me. This day was full of emotion, it brings back memories of new beginnings and now almost a year later, the release of this live performance. I can’t help to be reminded of loss. I’ve posted a video of “Grey Room” from his in-store performance. I’m also uploading a song, “Your Ghost” just because I’m in that kinda mood. So depressing, damn Damien!

Truly memorable. I still find it hard to believe that he came all the way to little tiny fingerprints to do a gig. Gonna go buy this tomorrow if there are still copies.
oh fyi-lovely ghost a great cover done by lisa and paul noonan of Bell X1 (another band from ireland that i love), not Damo.
So glad you took these videos. What an amazing in-store. The cd is great, the quality is amazing. When I listen to is I feel like he’s right in front. Thanks for posting on youtube.
I realise this is the first post for 2 years and chances are nobody will read it but wanted to say…
Your Ghost was written and originally recorded by Kristin Hersh from the Throwing Muses. It’s from her debut solo album ‘Hips and Makers’ from way back in 1994. The parts that Noonan sings were done by R.E.M.s very own Michael Stipe.
As beautiful as Lisa’s version is…and it REALLY is…Kristin’s original is, and always will be, the definitive and best version of the song possible.
