They’re not the only band to cover the song live following Johnston’s death. The Flaming Lips performed the song during their Connecticut show this week.

While mourners have gathered at a Johnston mural in Houston to pay tribute, The National also delivered a rendition of the Johnston classic ‘Devil Town’ from his album ‘1990’ while performing ‘I Am Not In Kansas’ from their 2019 album ‘I Am Easy To Find‘.
