When a couple of us at MAGNET think of Mark Lanegan playing New York City, we remember a disaster 1997 show at the Westbeth Theatre that lasted roughly four songs. The only thing that the Mark Lanegan Band’s recent performance at Brooklyn’s Warsaw had in common with the show 22 years ago is that both were dimly lit and at venues with names beginning in “W.” The former Screaming Trees frontman and crew played a killer 24-song set including “Stitch It Up,” off Somebody’s Knocking (out October 18 via Heavenly). MAGNET photographer Wes Orshoski was there and still can’t come down.
