The Gaslight Anthem

Great concert! They put on a fun show and played for quite a while. The opening act was great too. My only complaint is that they didn't play my favorite song, Handwritten.

I waited nine years for that show! It was absolutely amazing. Catbite was the best opener I have seen in quite some time, so much energy. Donovan Woods cracked me up with his in between songs banter, and broke my heart with his music. The Comedy act. I wish I could remember her name had me in tears! And then the top it off The Gaslight Anthem, fucking killed it! Just like they said they played all the songs I loved, and left nothing out.

Finally got to see Gaslight live after so many years. Did not disappoint! Falcon is quite the jokester and loved the stories and jokes between songs. Really felt like they came to give it all to the crowd, not just show up and play songs.

When the band got back to playing in between the lead singer’s rambling monologues, it was fun. The sound at the Anthem is okay, never sounds as good as you expect, though. Lead singer (Brian Fallon) was kind of mean and his lengthy, pointless stories really brought down the vibe. Sad because they’re a band we love but now we feel differently.

From the start, it was clear something was wrong with Brian Fallon. He was having a hard time hitting notes, and his voice was cracking a little. After a few songs, he left the stage for a few minutes, then returned and explained, in a very hoarse voice, that he could barely talk and was having a hard time singing. He said he wanted to keep going if the crowd agreed, but he would stop the show and reschedule if not. He said he might have to modify some songs if they kept playing. The crowd overwhelmingly wanted to continue. It ended up being a strong show. They played a toned-down but very effective version of "Great Expectations," and on several songs, the crowd picked up slack on the lyrics. The band was energetic, the music sounded great, and the crowd was into the show despite the problems. I hope to be able to see them when they're at their best, but I'm glad I was there for this one.

Brian Fallon was sick or had a sore throat so his vox were a little low, but they made up for it by playing their instruments extra hard. Really solid band who did their best to let the show go on. Even at less than a hundred percent I was glad I finally got to see them. Will definitely check them out if they come back again at full strength.

Brian sounded amazing and told great stories and joked with people in the crowd. Opening band Tiger Jaw was great, I had to buy a cd. I also got a set list!!

Definitely got monies worth, they played a long set from a range of their catalogue. Some folks might think Brian talks too much but I thought it was great.

First time seeing them live. I got into the band during there last album cycle an finally got to see them! They played well and sounded great. Brian was pretty hilarious in between songs, and the crowd was full of cool people. They are now a band that I will see anytime they come to the area.

The show was a little rough, but it was also the first show of the tour, and it’s been a little while. I deeply enjoy Brian Fallon’s meandering and the music was perfect. I *really* love their abstinence from the whole “encore” charade.

Great gig ..very nice venue ..long time fan but first time seeing The Gaslight Anthem ..thought I’d missed out when they split a few years back ..good set list with stuff from all albums played only gripe was the price of Merch but I suppose it reflects on the times we’re in now but all in all a good night out tho

Always amazing. Brian Fallon has perfected the balance of music and great 'stage patter'. Amazing setlist and I'm always a fan of a random cover by the Gaslight Anthem. Appreciate the mix of songs, covers and chat is not everyone cup of tea but I personally love it. First time in the O2 in Edinburgh, which was a brilliant venue that was well organised with polite staff and security.

One of the best gigs of my life, first hearing The 59 Sound 10 years ago when I was 13 years old, last nights show was a dream come true!

Needed a bigger venue... packed house, great show! Sensed the tension on stage between band-members. Lots of fans from Jersey that’s for sure. Ticket sales went in seconds. Had to pay way too much.

District Square is a good venue. Don't go at door time unless you want to buy a beer and chat. The band opening band didn't play until 9pm. Gaslight Anthem was a little late due to some driving difficulties. But, the set they played happened to be amazing. Straight to the point, no filler. The crowd, however, took forever to get energized. The band couldn't read the crowd either because once a little energy sparked they switched into a mellow sad song instead of driving the energy up. The final six songs I watched some amazing patrons encourage some fun by jumping and squeezing close, hinting at a crowd begging to be alive. The closing songs were 10 times louder as the people around me sang louder than the stage. I haven't seen a more dedicated fan base. If only they had a concert they truly deserved.

Gaslight has been my favorite band for a few years now and this was the first opportunity I got to see them. The show was absolutely phenomenal. They play an awesome mix of all there stuff old and new, also a cover or two. Both opener where also really good. It was do cool getting to see the Desa reunion tour.

Amazing show! Incredible set list, great opening bands, and so much energy from the 3 bands and the fans. The Gaslight Anthem - what can I say, I'm still giddy. lol

Amazing show. Open acts weren't my cup of tea but Gaslight was better than expected. Unfortunately, their drummer had to leave due to an emergency at home, so they played half an acoustic set and had the drummer from another band fill in.

I think the sound is better further away from the stage at this venue, but their way the show was awesome. Good mix of previous albums and the new one.

Ace performance from Brian and the boys as usual and a massive thanks to the O2 Apollo who swapped my standing tickets for seating tickets due to an injury!
