See ya there.

can't wait!

Good show. A few notes... Ian played guitar on OWL and Cowgirls. Brian introduced the Señor run with something like "so we have this EP... how many of you know it? yeah, we're going to play all of that right now". Blue Jeans had a few improvised lines after the "buy you a house on Cookman Avenue" line. Orphans was by request of a young kid (probably not over 10) at the edge of the barricade with a sign for it. Angry Johnny had a short bit from Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits. Also, Jazz wasn't on the setlist but was added to the encore and Film Noir was listed in the main set but was unplayed. And finally, I said it before but it's worth repeating, Tim Barry is great. If you're seeing any of the remaining shows, get there early and catch his set.

Ian is Brian's guitar tech and handles things on stage when Gaslight's playing. Good dude.

Anyone record the show?

That was the best time I had seen them. The crowd didn't seem as packed although it was sold out both times. It also seemed younger. But this could be based just by who I was around each time.
