It was just Brian right? The site says "The Gaslight Anthem in the Live Lounge as part of Radio 1 Rocks" but I only see him...

Yeah, it was just Brian, Fearne (the DJ for anyone that doesn't know) was a bit shocked as even she was expecting the full band.

Here is Everlong: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvTvUMotnkY

can't seem to find Here Comes My Man thhough

I thought musically, HCMM was spot on but the vocals were a little off. I like the singing style but think he veered out of tune a couple of times.

Everlong was the opposite with great vocals but slightly iffy guitar work.

Still, two nice versions though.

i surprisingly got in tonight, here's the setlist they gave me:

howd you get in?

because i'm awesome.

Close enough?

he was talking about wearing sunglasses for acoustic gigs when he played at the johnny cupcakes show. having seen that vid he needs to not wear them inside.

I'm going to ask the obvious question here:

What did he say about it? did he explain why he wears them?

he was saying that he finds it weird singing acoustically in front of people and looking at them in the eyes. he also said that closing your eyes is also a bit odd so he was gonna have to find some solution and he mentioned sun glasses. it was all very jokey at the time, seems it wasnt after all.

Not sure if its viewable outside UK.

Can anyone rip this? It would be much appreciated! I'd do it myself if I had the means.

When I saw him wearing sunglasses, I wasn't sure what to think. Not of fan of sunglasses being worn indoors. However, when he said he had only been up for 20 minutes, I thought it might have been to hide the dark circles under his eyes (not that he has any, though)

no seriously.

Does anyone know if they're planning on broadcasting the full band show, or even excerpts of it?

Presumably on the iPlayer already, though not helpful for non-UK

yes I didn't win though haha

Plugga got to the front of the line and said to the security guard "what's that over there" and whilst he was looking walked into the gig - or something like that
