Brian F from Gaslight Anthem and me.
So, the show started with American Slang and I got really moved, I cried a bit. The venue was full, but there was lots of old people so, it was nice and quiet (you could dance), my friend told me there was a moshpit, I was too excited to look at the back of the venue, we were at the first line! :_D
They played:
American Slang, The Queen of Lower Chelsea, Bring it on, Stay Lucky, Great Expectations, Blue jeans and white tshirts, The Backseat, The ‘59 sound, Señor and the Queen, Here’s Looking at You Kid, Even Cowgirls Get The Blues, Old White Lincoln, The Diamond Church Street Choir, Boxer, The Spirit of Jazz, We did it when we were young, Casanova, Baby!, We Came to Dance, We’re getting a divorce, you keep the diner, Bomboxes and Dictionaries, High Lonesome and a cover.
I think I am not missing any song, I am still in shock, I just cried so much when they played Great Expectations, after the song Brian shook my hand and kept playing, what an awesome moment…!
Then I gave him a polaroid picture of he playing and I wrote “thank you” on it and he gave me his pick. Lovely, I know…
This is and will be my favourite band so far, I hope it doesn’t take me 2 more years to see them. I don’t think I can handle it.
