Gotta admit that looks like a smoking show even though one of my three least favourite songs was played. The three last songs from The 59 Sound makes a strong ending to the mainset and Blue Jeans & White T-shirts back to back with Great Expectations to close with, may be even better than Navesink banks and great Expectations that they closed with the other night. Looks like Germany is THE country to see Gaslight, so many headlining shows down there and not one up here in Norway. Oh well, next time around...

OMG that's a fantastic set. If they're again not gonna play Biloxi and Casanova tonight in Hannover, I'm getting really angry

Have fun tonight enola, remember to report back to us, oh and tell Brian and the rest of the band to swing by Norway next time around, thanks!

I like that the long sets from 2010 have continued. Still wish they'd frontload the main set with a couple more barnburners, though, instead of playing Cowgirls and Choir so early. But that's a minor quibble. Awesome song selection. The fact that Elvis is now an every-night staple makes me very happy.

Agree about Cowgirls. I always thought that would fit late in the set, could maybe even use it to close the mainset. I bet it was pretty cool at the Prague City Festival where they more or less turned the setlist upside down and actually closed with Cowgirls! Diamond Church Street Choir however is, IMO, a perfect song to play early on.

About Elvis, have you seen the bridge between Elvis and Wooderson? I think they started to play it on the last few shows of the 2010 tour, it's awesome. Reason enough alone to play Elvis and Wooderson every night.

Drop Cowgirls and replace with 1930 to have a near perfect 4 pack..

Diasgree about Germany being the place to see a show , thats going to Barcelona next week...

That said if I see the band I'm going to ask the question why no UK headlining shows this year...
