Favorite live performance of a song?

I was wondering what everyone's favorite live performance videos were, not full sets but of one song. Either the full band or just Brian.

I'll do one of the band and one of Brian on the revival tour:


Always love Film Noir live but they just tear it up in the end of this performance (also like Benny's little screwup in the beginning and how they helped him out)



The emotion in this is just unbelievable. The anger and sadness in his eyes during the chorus feels so genuine. Probably one of the most emotional performances I've ever seen.

I do think that this is one of the best things ever captured on film

And the whole Reading 2009 performance is great i have watched it about 10 times, its so intense and they look like they are just realising how big their band is going to be.

Great idea!

This has always been my favorite live video. It's not the best picture, audio, or best performance, but there's just something about this particular performance that I love.

man this is a great idea, ive watch tons of gaslight (orientented) performances, it should be interesting to hear some ive never heard before. like that great expectations performance is amazing

the revival tour did a ton of cool, nay, beautiful covers

I hadn't seen this one before. Incredible.

I love these threads, because it makes me go like "What? Plugga likes The Gaslight Anthem??" and then I remember we're actually on a TGA forum.

God damn Spam thread.

Anyway, this one. It's not the best recording, but the guitar makes it sound so heavy, so somber. And listen to the harmonica! And look at Brian, especially towards the end. His face is twisted into a really theatrical, yet sincere display of pain. Beautiful.

This is my favourite video ever. 1:58-2:25 sums up why Brian Fallon is my hero.

I really like this live version of Cowgirls, because Brain is a bit more free to do what he wants without the guitar.

I remember watching this video sooo many times when it first got posted on the forum.

Love this comment on Youtube "10 years from now he'll be playing Madison Square Garden and telling a story about how he once had to record a performance in a toilet."

Best thread

Someone posted this video from the revival show in Zurich and it's one of my favorites. I love how Brian is joking around with the audience before he sings and the story he tells about his high school is fantastic. Reminds me of where I went to school! The best thing about this video is that he looks like he's having such a great time!

That was probably the most heartfelt and intense performance I have ever seen. Gave me chills!

Haha, that's so fantastic! My sister is a huge hair metal fan and I just played it for her. She loved it too!

Time to resurrect this topic...
I think this is a cool performance, especially when Benny does a cool drum thing before the 2nd chorus.
Epic.
