With Good night the pleasure was ours, David Grubbs melts down and
recasts three decades of playing music on tour into a book-length
poem, bringing to a close the trilogy that includes Now that the
audience is assembled and The Voice in the Headphones. In Good
night the pleasure was ours, the world outside the tour filters in
with eccentric sparseness. From teenage punk bands to ensembles
without fixed membership, and from solo performance to a group
augmented by digital avatars, Grubbs presents touring as a series
of daily dislocations that provides an education distinctly its
own. These musicians' job is to play that evening's gig-whether to
enthusiastic, hostile, or apathetic audiences-and then to do it
again the next day. And yet, over the course of the book's
multidecade arc, Grubbs depicts music making as an irreversible
process-one reason for loving it so.
