The War On Drugs Covers Warren Zevon With Craig Finn In Brooklyn

The War On Drugs played a show Sunday night at Brooklyn Steel in Brooklyn, New York. The band was joined by The Hold Steady frontman Craig Finn on a cover of a classic Warren Zevon song.

The War On Drugs opened their set with “Brothers” from the 2011 album Slave Ambient. Guitarist/frontman Adam Granduciel then led the group through “Pain” from last year’s full length release A Deeper Understanding and “An Ocean Between The Waves from the 2014 LP Lost In The Dream.

The rest of set featured a mix of selections from those records as well as “Buenos Aires Beach” from 2008’s Wagonwheel Blues. Finn emerged mid-set to sit-in on vocals on a cover of “Accidentally Like A Martyr,” which first appeared on the 1978 Warren Zevon album Excitable Boy. The encore began with a cover of Tom Petty’s “Time To Move On” and ended with the Lost In The Dream favorite “Eyes to the Wind.”
