Season 6 Episodes
1. Mumford & Sons
The 1920s glamor of the Belasco Theater in downtown Los Angeles provided a stunning setting for a triumphant performance by Mumford & Sons for an upcoming episode of Live from the Artists Den. The band delivered songs from its recent Number One album, Babel, along with such hits as “Little Lion Man” and “I Will Wait.” In a rousing 16-song set, Mumford & Sons thrilled the invitation-only crowd of 800 by stepping in front of the microphones for an unamplified take of “Timshel,” followed later by a joyous cover of Neil Young’s “Dance Dance Dance” before closing the evening with a blistering rendition of “The Cave” from the classic, multi-platinum debut Sigh No More.
2. Soundgarden
On a warm February night in Los Angeles, the legendary Seattle rock band Soundgarden concluded a sold-out winter tour in support of King Animal, their first studio album in over 16 years. The Artists Den was there to document this unforgettable night within the historic art deco setting of The Wiltern. In front of a rapturous crowd, Soundgarden interwove brand new songs with classics, radio hits with rarities never before performed for a live audience. Over a varied 28-song set, they showcased their history, dazzled with their musicianship and captured the imaginations of everyone in the room.
