Yeah I’ve always thought the key changes were distracting. I enjoy the lyrics of the bridge and how heavy the song gets at the end but honestly I like Desire better.
I hadn't listened to "Desire" since whenever I first got ahold of the deluxe version of the album with "Blue Dahlia" on it, and I just went back and listened to it now. I tried to listen with an open mind, but "Desire" is absolutely in the running for the weakest song Gaslight has ever released for me. "Blue Dahlia" is a phenomenal song. I am only vaguely aware of what key changes are.
Thanks…based on the set list posted . Wow. What a show. Can’t wait. Bucket list for me. Never seen them.
Leaving "Blue Dahlia" off of Handwritten is *almost* as bad of a call as leaving "Have Mercy" off of Get Hurt. Almost.
I think Blue Jeans is a live staple when they headline, I think they've always played it whenever I've seen them. It's in their top ten on setlist.fm
Every time that song starts when I have a Gaslight/Brian Fallon shuffle going on I ALWAYS think its She Loves You lol
I kind of like "Blue Dahlia" as an epilogue to Handwritten. Almost like an "Into the Airwaves" style "bonus chapter" to that album for me. Not on the vinyl, which is a bummer, but what can you do.
