Released in late 2016 as a concert film (and later in various audio\/video formats), it runs around 90 minutes and was directed by live specialist Dick Carruthers, who frames the band against the sweeping backdrop of the Pretorian outback. The performance serves as the culmination of a South African tour that unexpectedly grew from a small “mini adventure” into a phenomenon, with some 85,000 tickets sold once dates were announced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusically, Dust and Thunder blends material from across the band’s catalog—including Sigh No More, Babel, and Wilder Mind—with songs from the Johannesburg EP, bringing collaborators Baaba Maal, Mamadou Sarr, The Very Best, and Beatenberg on stage. The setlist moves from electric Wilder Mind cuts like Snake Eyes, Tompkins Square Park, Believe, Wilder Mind, Ditmas, and The Wolf to older folk‑anthem favorites such as I Will Wait, Awake My Soul, The Cave, Little Lion Man, Dust Bowl Dance, and Ghosts That We Knew, before turning into a full‑on cross‑cultural celebration with Wona, Lampenda, and There Will Be Time featuring the African guests. Reviewers and promotional notes emphasize how the film captures “the very heart” of what makes Mumford \u0026amp; Sons a special live act: the mix of emotional, communal sing‑alongs, genre‑bridging arrangements, and visible joy in collaboration, all intensified by the South African crowd’s enthusiasm and the sense that the band are playing in a place they’d long wanted to visit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Blu-ray \/ Album","offer_id":53718215295290,"sku":"39113","price":20.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-07-10_at_6.20.39_PM.jpeg?v=1783722139","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/live_from_south_africa_dust_and_thunder","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
