The record's focus track, "Love Will See You Through" is releasing with a special video, edited by Kramer himself showing Daniel performing live. The newly released version of the track (which originally appeared on Daniel's 1994 record FUN) perfectly showcases his relentless optimism for love, for both himself, and the audience at hand. ALIVE in NEW YORK CITY shows Daniel at the very height of his performing powers, with his poignant voice and exquisite heart beating in full bloom, and the audience is with him all the way. No other live performance recording we've ever heard captures the marriage of audience & performer in the way this one has. Hearing it, is like being there. Daniel gave it all on this very special night. This is the first official vinyl release of Daniel performing live in the USA, and Shimmy-Disc is proud to be partnering with The Daniel Johnston Estate for this historic vinyl event. You can order the LP today via Shimmy Disc, and watch Kramer's video for "Love Will See You Through" below! DANIEL JOHNSTON - "Love Will See You Through" (Official Shimmy-Disc Video) Recorded and live-mixed by Kramer in April of 2000, the long-lost tape was found by Kramer 20 years later, marked solely with the words "NYC April 2000". So despite best efforts (and adding to the mystery behind the origins of this recording), we are unable to determine with 100% certainty the actual venue at which the performance took place, since Daniel played several gigs in NYC at around this same time. The LP contains one brilliant Daniel Johnston performance in its entirety, unedited, unaltered, and unforgettable, concluding with a brief excerpt from a street interview Daniel gave in New York City that was recorded during the same explosively creative period in his extraordinary life. It's a real time-capsule for Daniel's fans, and a real tear-jerker... "You're never really gone", he says. Perhaps the most exciting feature of this amazing live LP is the fact that it contains TWO SONGS that appear on no other Daniel Johnston release, making it a priceless addition to Dan's catalog. The recording captures him at an unusually happy point in his life. We are given a rare, uncensored glimpse into one-night-in-the-very-real-life of Daniel Johnston, wherein the physical rendering of his lyrics transcends the music and works as a beacon into the tender soul of a genius. We hear him grappling LIVE ONSTAGE with his enduring struggles of how to love himself and how to find his place in the world, as he experiences it. In his songs, Daniel shows us that it is a universal struggle shared amongst all of us. He reminds us (as perhaps no other artist ever has) that we are all just human, and that the only hope we truly ever have in finding Love, is to just keep trying. He articulates these feelings perhaps best of all in the two previously unreleased songs; MEMORY OF LOVE, and SUPER LOVE. These two stand-out tracks are sure to become classics in Daniel's posthumous repertoire, and they make this "LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY" LP instantly indispensable to both fans and collectors alike.   Shimmy-Disc is proud to present this new LP to the world along with 18 minutes of FREE digital-download-only bonus material comprised of some of the rarest audio treasures from the Daniel Johnston Archives - a series of 'Telephone Demos' created by Daniel specifically for sending over the phone to friends, fans and radio stations worldwide. As the consummate self-promoter, Daniel loved the telephone, and he used it the same way Ernie Kovacs used the TV, gleefully experimenting to his heart's delight. It was very often his creative medium of choice during his early formative years. These little teleplays from Daniel’s pre-”1990” days have never been heard before, so his most devoted fans will surely go wild with joy over this newly discovered and precious cargo from the young mind of this universally beloved, one-of-a-kind artist.  In addition to the beautiful 12" x 36" LIVE IN NEW YORK CITY poster included in each LP, the Limited-Edition pressing of 555 hand-numbered LP's on black vinyl will also contain a very special gift for fans - a high quality FULL-COLOR FINE ART PRINT of one of Daniel's drawings, hand-picked by Kramer especially for this very limited-edition. NOTE: Only the 1st pressing of 555 will contain this unique art print, and it's available ONLY via Mail-Order online. There's also a Limited-Edition of 999 LP's on 'Ghost White' vinyl for fans to choose from, along with an additional pressing on "Invisibly Clear" vinyl for stores and retail. Cassette collectors will also be happy to know that they will be able to purchase the music from this LP on their favorite format, including the "Telephone Demos" (a full 56 minute analog tape, designed to recreate the look and the spirit of Daniel's original home-made cassette releases from the 1980's). This wondrous LP drops a few days before what would have been Daniel Johnston's 63rd birthday; on Hi How Are You Day, 2024. We can't imagine a better way to celebrate this very special day. Some people weren't fortunate enough to have seen Daniel perform live. Now they can hear it and experience it, on vinyl, in all its awe-inspiring beauty. We love you, Daniel.
