Also: if you're new and don't know- plea from a cat called virtute is part 1 of a 4 song saga that tells the tale of an alcoholic hitting rock bottom, entering court ordered treatment, and embracing sobriety all from the eyes of his cat and then ending with virtute the cat's memorial service....it's a powerful coda and helped immensely with my own road through this life we call recovery and countless friends i have passed mr samson's lyrics on to as encouragement on THEIR "dance with the 12 steps". If the virtute the cat saga doesn't bring a tear to your eye, congrats, you've probably never watched someone you love lose their battle with addiction, and i envy you for not knowing the pain or how heavy the scars are to carry.

Whoever mixed this deserves a medal, so here it is, you did a great job and we're all proud of you.🏅

[@zaneridings3789]

Seriously. The moment Civil Twilight hits you can hear that amazing balance of instrumentation and vocals. Its a great live capture.

[@joaobaltazar4120]

Indeed, what an amazing job!

I've moved around a lot in my life, kind of aimless by nature, and every time I move The Weakerthans are my go-to soundtrack. Not sure why, they just have that atmosphere of melancholic hopefulness that goes so well with new adventures. Thanks for uploading this.

[@cmore138]

I relate and will now try to write a song called aimless by nature.

Recently moved home from chilliwack bc to Peterborough. I drove my Kia Rio home when it broke down in Winnipeg, I like to think it broke down there for a reason. I always loved Winnipeg with never being there because of this band. It was terrible. My car got demo’d I lost all my clothes and I gave up my favourite shoes. But I booked a flight with my cat from Winnipeg to Toronto and made it home: I Stil love Winnipeg and I hope to go back soon.

I friggin love this band. Wish they were still together.

[@traviswaynedoyle]

SO GOOD. Reunion tour! (pun intended)

[@kentuckychromedesign]

One of the best bands on Earth, one of the best rock clubs that ever did exist. A very nice combination.

[@benstanbury]

Great band. Reply All bought me here...

[@daverandall3069]

I love when you go down the right rabbit hole and find things like this. Pure gold... Thank you for uploading. It was just what I needed.

[@pzapir8]

Funny, i often describe exploring the weakerthans catalog for the first time as "the wabbithole to end all wabbit holes" to friends i introduce them to

[@gripntie5589]

I've been looking for a live version of Watermark forever! I thought they just never played it after the record. Thanks!

[@Christo2123]

Long live The Weakerthans. Long live The Bottletree.

[@mrwienerdog]

What a wonderful surprise to find this!

[@Fischrestaurant78]

Thank you so much for uploading this!

[@dankinney777]

Come back to us.

[@JeffWHigdon]

This is awesome! I love and miss this band so much. But the songs live on in John's solo and band shows. Killer set here in Winnipeg last week! I'd definitely drop some serious coin on a Weakerthans reunion show though :)

[@jdolew]

absolutely! i saw them in Toronto down at HarbourFront (lakeside) about five years ago and the place was rocking, I was singing along to most of the tunes. :)

[@fernandomateo4109]

John is a hero

[@fsee9873]

OH MY GOD THANK YOU FOR UPLOADING THIS!!!!

[@stefanscholli8718]

Thanks for uploading. They were great.

[@kickittracy]

When was this shot? I know bottletree hasn’t been around since at least 2015. I can’t even hypothesize as to when the last time the weakerthans went on tour, much less one that made its way to Alabama.

[@LIVEfromBIRMINGHAM]

I think this was 2008.

[@craftycounterpuncher2055]

Ms. Spelt at it again!

[@sharkulashairstylist5505]

when I play this music for others they get goose bumps up their spine as they remember who I am/ who we are. Its hard to watch
