A Practical Handbook DVD

Led by a group dynamic that embraces experimentation even as it celebrates classic pop and folk forms, The Decemberists are firmly established as a completely original happening in the world of contemporary indie rock. This DVD captures the band in the midst of their rise to prominence with a live recording of a performance at the Roseland Theater in Portland, Oregon on November 4, 2005. Includes five videos for songs off "Picaresque" and "Her Majesty", a documentary shot during the recording of "The Crane Wife", a series of short films shot during the photo session for the album cover photos, and outtakes. "The Tain", a fully animated, 4-part music video, is previously unreleased and unseen.
