The Raise Hell live recording is from their Hard Way Home Summer Convoy tour in 2013, (prior to then beginning the bands The Firewatcher’s Daughter writing and recording).
The song was originally recorded in 2011 at Bear Creek, and that summer was then road-tested on tour as they supported Ray LaMontagne. For a while they would quietly call the song Ray’s Hell after the tour became problematic. Bear Creek was subsequently released in 2012, with Raise Hell making it on the album as the second track. They continued to tour the album in the Hard Way Home Summer Convoy Tour in 2013, and it’s from that tour this live recording is made.
