The Gaslight Anthem - History Books (October 27th 2023) Album • Page 20

Seeing them on the American Slang tour remains my favorite of their appearances. Loved them opening with the drums in American Slang and it had such a nice mix of Sink or Swim, Senor and the Queen, 59 Sound, and American Slang. Seeing the Sink or Swim songs live was so great

 

I've posted this before, but this was the first time I saw them back in September 2012. Definitely up their with the best sets I've ever gotten at a show.

 

Seems like they used to play crazy long sets.

 

Let's compare haha

 

The Gaslight Anthem Setlist at Convention Hall, Asbury Park

This was my favorite when Bruce came out to sing on American Slang.

 

They did. First two times I saw them they played nearly everything off SOS, Senor & The Queen and 59 Sound. The American Slang tour was like 27-29 songs every night. I have a feeling age probably makes it hard to play that long every night though lol

 

Terminal 5 - 11/28/12
Terminal 5 - 2/28/15 (and the Webster Hall show the night before)
Convention Hall - 12/09/11 (if this is the MCR radio holiday show I'm thinking of)

and that's actually it for overlap! i am upstate/Albany area and didn't drive yet when they originally disbanded so it was quite a bus trek to make some of these lol

 

i had a full running list like that in my Notes app back on iPhone, but i switched since and need to recompile

The Gaslight Anthem Setlist at Terminal 5, New York

i think that one takes the cake for me, Once Upon a Time and closing with We're Getting a Divorce (only time i got to see them play it)

 

Mine, they had no opener and had a one-off night off from a Hot Water Music/Rise Against tour they were opening for, so they just went all out. Such a special show.

 

My best gaslight show was probably this one

The Gaslight Anthem Setlist at Pier 26, New York

On the banks of the Hudson, beautiful weather outside, and they played Senor and the Queen specifically for me because Benny is a handsome gentleman.

 

Devils advocate I have a bad memory of this show because a lot of the crowd was chanting Bruce and it finally ticked Brian off. Became very awkward despite the great show and venue.

 

My favorite was in 2008 when they were the opener on the Rise Against/Alkaline Trio/Thrice bill, and they played a surprise headliner in my city on an in-between night in a teeny club.

 

please no… don’t need to be paying 500 bucks to see gaslight lol

 

Fair point. That part was very awkward.

 

i'll always cherish the first time i saw Gaslight in 2009 at the Launchpad, a small venue in Albuquerque.

there's no setlist archived for that date, unfortunately.

the Tempe show setlist from the day before looks similar, if i'm remembering that correctly.

Great Expectations
High Lonesome
Old White Lincoln
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
The '59 Sound
We Came to Dance
Señor and the Queen
Film Noir
Miles Davis and the Cool
The Navesink Banks
Casanova, Baby!
Boomboxes and Dictionaries

The Backseat

Encore:
Once Upon a Time
(Robert Bradley’s Blackwater Surprise cover)
I'da Called You Woody, Joe
Angry Johnny and the Radio
Encore 2:
The Patient Ferris Wheel

swap out that "Once Upon a Time" cover for "Left of the Dial" by the Replacements, and that's pretty much the ABQ setlist.

 

This is the first time I saw gaslight. What a fucking setlist.

The Gaslight Anthem Setlist at Lifestyle Communities Pavilion, Columbus

 

album release shows in Jersey City Oct 27th and 28th, thats the announcement I guess.

presale tomorrow, signups available now.

 

The closest venue on planet earth to me haha

 

I was at this too! Freshman year of college at College of Santa Fe before it went bankrupt.

 

930 tonight

 

Was at this show, can confirm it was great.

 

looks like I’ll need to change my 7pm flight out of nyc on 10/27.

 

May want to wait to see if you can score tickets first before doing that.

 

They were great tonight! New songs - especially Positive Charge - were really good.

They played Little Fires twice because they were filming a music video.

 

They were fantastic at riot fest the other night too. I’ve seen them like 6 times and they sound as good now as they ever have in my experience.
