The Gaslight Anthem - History Books (October 27th 2023) Album • Page 21

Also, didn't mean to put a question mark after that, haha. Too old to be posting at midnight.

 

Last night may have been my favorite time ever seeing them (setlist aside). They sounded perfect, Brian’s banter was top tier, and the band just seemed to be genuinely having a blast

I felt the same way at Riot Fest as well though. They were just definitely way better all around than the first run of reunion shows last year imo

plus they played Stay Lucky last night which was one of my top hopes

 

christ what a setlist

 

Got my ticket for Fri 10/27 album release show. See some of you there?

 

What a garbage website to buy tix. Guess ill try again Friday

 

Yeah that site was a big old mess, but I somehow snagged tickets for Saturday.

My first Gaslight show was Handwritten's record release show 11 long years ago, and now this History Books' record release show is my 11th Brian Fallon fronted show. Time is a flat circle or something like that.

 

They added 2 more shows for Sunday and Monday

 

The Webster Hall show in 2012? That still remains, to this day, my favorite time seeing them. Loved how he threw in a cover of my favorite Fake Problems song

 

That’s the one! The setlist was near perfect for them at that point in their career. They absolutely crushed it.

 

yea… so if anyone got an extra for Friday let me know lol

The interview with Brian on the first ever podcast today is really great. He also explains the intention behind how history books sounds a little more.

 

Got a good laugh out of this, venue by me is promoting Brian Fallon's solo tour:

"As you may already know, The Gaslight Anthem is on a hiatus, but we are honored and proud to present the one and only Brian Fallon!"

 

And here's that Little Fires music video we were expecting!

 

Love the story of the time Bruce showed up asking if he could play "The 59 Sound" at Glastonbury with them and he arrived up with a police escort and Brian was like aww shit someone's getting arrested.

 

I'm in that video (somewhere)

 

I was actually standing next to Kelsey for a while while she was filming from the back of the pit.

 

Release the ncarrab cut

 

I like how there is the slight nod to Stefan in that video (with the facetime decline). Brian really did try to facetime him during the show and Stefan wouldn't answer. Brian mentioned early in the show that he was going to facetime Stefan at some point, and Brian added that Stefan preferred to facetime the following night, because he was busy.
