Live in London (Flight of the Conchords album)

Flight of the Conchords launched a sold-out tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland in March 2018 titled Flight of the Conchords Sing Flight of the Conchords Tour; many of the dates were rescheduled to June–July 2018 following Bret McKenzie breaking his hand mid-tour. The reunion tour featured a sixteen song set which was a mix of their classics, songs from their television show, and six new songs. Flight of the Conchords played four nights at the end of the tour at the Eventim Apollo in London during which they recorded their performances with director Hamish Hamilton for HBO. The duo said that they were interested in producing their first full-length comedy special to capture the essence of their live show, with McKenzie explaining, "I like the idea of capturing what we do live, because it doesn’t really exist on tape. We’ve spent so many years touring, but we’re more well known for the TV show, which is actually quite different from what we really do." They have indicated that this would likely be their only Flight of the Conchords project of this scope for some time. == Album ==
