Just watched this video again and this is possibly mine as well. Would have loved to have been in the crowd that night singing along. Even from these videos you can really get a taste of the atmosphere that night.

I absolutely love this. It was an incredible night and this just topped it off for me Didn't get back home to bed until 2.30 am (with work at 9) but so totally worth it.

I love this version so ridiculously much. So emotional. Intensifies the feeling you get when reading the lyrics to a point where it hits you right in the balls. Pure beauty.

Not seen this one before today. Definitely my favourite live performance of Here's Looking At You, Kid:

This is my favorite version 1930 :

brian put the heart on this version of miles davis and the cool, amazing!

When Brian takes over on his own at 1.57 onwards, and Bruce stands back with that nodding smile, you just know he's thinking 'that's my boy' Whenever anyone asks what Gaslight and Brian means to me...I show them this, that moment right there, that's when I knew my musical taste was in safe hands.

I think I might have shed a tear during this version...

me and my friends cried like babies at the instore in london

This one's an easy one for me, and I don't think anyone has posted it yet: "Angry Johnny and the Radio." Area 4, 2008. I cannot tell you how many exams I did NOT study for when I was in college just because I used to watch the video of this performance over and over again. And, if I remember correctly, you can catch a few glimpses of e7c just hanging out on the side of the stage.




Another one I'm really fond of is the performance on Conan. This was the first time they were on national tv, which was kind of a big deal. In anticipation of this performance, I stick-n-poked "1930" on my middle finger. I was a freshman in college and I made all three of my roommates watch it with me. They thought it was silly just how excited I was, but I didn't care. Anyways, I love the way Brian growls his way through this song. And I think it's even kind of noticeable, especially at first, that Brian was a bit nervous haha.



I'm seriously getting so nostalgic just by watching these right now :')

I love that Biloxi performance at Glasto 2011

OMG this one is amazing from the London show:



Brian screaming at the beginning and before the last chorus, and him pointing to the kid crowdsurfing during the last chorus. If that kid was me I think I'd die on the spot.

I can see my haaaaand.

What's the backstory behind that performance, is she the daughter of someone who was on the revival tour or something?

No she was just a random girl. I was there!

It's not letting me post a video because I'm a newbie but 'The Spirit Of Jazz' on Jools Holland is just breathtaking!

this is probably my favorite thread <3

Time to bring this thread back. This is the best show I've seen videos of on youtube. Good to see a great performance of a new song, they're really going for it here
This also seems to be the show where brian decides to become a guitar god

I know its cheating as its more than one song and everything, but this video is heaven and every Gaslight fan needs to see it.

The version of Say I Won't on youtube at some german festival.

Is this the one you were on about?

If so, I was about to post it as well because it really is just such an awesome performance

Though it's uncredited they play 59 Sound in the middle of Stay Lucky and Great Expectations. What Brian does at the end of the second verse of 59 gave me major chills:

Oh, that's awesome, I was actually there! Before them, Hot Water Music played and Brian came on stage to sing Trusty Chords.. Good memories.

I love the Area 4 performances from 2008 and 2010. I think someone already posted Angry Johnny and the Radio from 2008, it's so good with What Becomes of the Broken Hearted at the end..

From 2010 those are great:

"If I'm not you're kind, try the Bouncing Souls"

Videos like those always make me feel better and saved my day many times

I really love that video. I love how raw and aggressive they were back then. I miss that side of the band now. I also love that song.

Does anybody know where I can find the Live on Letterman complete set on video?
