The Gaslight Anthem - History Books (October 27th 2023) Album • Page 116

Very very good song.

 

Fellas good

 

They sound fantastic in a few of the videos I’ve caught from this tour.

 

I hadn't spent a lot of time listening to the History Books - Short Stories EP until recently, but I really love the sound of the reworked Blue Jeans and the acoustic Positive Charge - a whole album exploring that sound would be killer

I love when bands do an acoustic version that is all of them playing and not just the lead singer and an acoustic guitar or piano

 

Preludes might be the prettiest song this band has ever written and some of Brian’s finest lyrical work. What a song.

 

Opened with WE CAME TO DANCE last night per setlist posted on their Insta. Great opener!

 

Saw the guys this weekend in Vegas. Very solid, I'm always impressed with this band even in an opening slot for Counting Crows (weird tour to me, crowd was older for sure). TGA definitely won over a few folks around us. Brian also introduced everyone, including Emily Wolfe. Not sure if that means anything but she sounded great doing the Natalie Prass harmonies on "Have Mercy." I also saw where they last minute cancelled their subsequent date with CC, so I hope everything is okay with their camp.

 

Seems like the cancellation was due to security at the casino giving them a hard time for having their kids backstage at the show since it’s a casino and they technically weren’t supposed to be there. Sounds like security were being super shitty to them so they decided to just not play

 

That is crazy to do to the entertainment/talent coming to your casino. This entire tour is just weird for TGA to do.
