Deluna Fest 2012

Wondering if anyone was going to the Deluna Fest this year. My friend and I are driving all the way down there from Jersey and wanted to know if anyone would be interested in doing a little fan interview. We're trying to make a fan made documentary about TGA and Pearl Jam, myself being TGA fan and him being the PJ fan. Let me know if anyone is interested. Thanx.

I'll be there (flying from Jersey instead of driving)...

But I don't think I'm the right person for a fan interview...

Ok no problem, I wonder if were gonna be the only people from Jersey going all the way down there lol.

Couple friends of mine that are big PJ fans are going to that...I got one of them into TGA as well, so they are pretty excited. I wish I could have gone but going to make the Riotfest in Dallas instead.

Ahh damn I wanted to go to the riot fest so bad lol.

If I had it to do over again, I probably would have gone to Riot Fest instead. But Deluna should be pretty cool...and a lot less crazy...

I mean the set list for Riot Fest in Dallas is crazy, but yeah hopefully Deluna isn't extremely crowded so that we can get up close... I know they're on the main stage so ya just gotta get there early and wait it out.

Plus the Deluna lineup sounds like they spaced it out nicely between acts...so you can go from stage to stage and find something you like.

Also I was just looking at previous Deluna videos and it really doesn't seem all that crowded especially for a festival and Gaslight is playing Friday which I have a feeling will be the least busiest day out of the 3.

Brian (and probably the other guys too) must have been losing his mind.

that was fucking awesome

you know, that gaslight anthem band sure sounds a lot like pearl jam

Funny thing is... on Handwritten (the album), they actually do... lol

I bet Brian doesn't get off this huge grin off his face for a while

Also am I the onlyone who thought that hugging in the end was so cute?

Would love to see a pro shot video of this.

I thought it was adorable too! It was such a fan hugging his idol moment. And just knowing it had to be like the coolest thing in the world to Brian but he was playing it off as cool and casual as he could, haha been there.

I hope an HD version of this shows up too.

Cool video, but it sucks you cant hear Brian that much and Vedder made couple of mistakes. At least nobody can blame Gaslight for bad performance . Wonder if somebody took photo when Vedder point his "gun" at Brians head. Would be cool.

It was absolutely incredible... About halfway through the set, Brian started talking about how you can't phone it in. He went on for two or three minutes...looking at Ian the whole time. It sounded like he was pissed at Ian for some reason. Little did we know he was looking offstage at Eddie...

The crowd went absolutely bonkers when Eddie came on...and the guys ripped the hell out of that song.

Interestingly, only Benny and Brian had huge smiles during the song itself. The other three were all business.

The hug at the end was the best part. Eddie reached out his hand for a handshake/half-hug, and Brian just grabbed him.

Other than state of love & trust...The set list was a mix of old & new... 45, keepsake, Mae & too much blood off Handwritten, plus 59 sound, American slang, great expectations, queen of lower Chelsea, diamond church street choir, and wherefore art thou Elvis. They also did house of the rising son.

I was impressed by the number of people who knew the songs... A couple dozen at best... But this is Florida where gaslight doesn't exactly have a strong following. I bet at least a few new fans were made with that show.

what it looked like from where I was standing...

I hope so too, still really amazing to see though..If I had been Brian and one of my musical heroes would appear on stage to perform with me I probably wouldn't be able to sing a word

Did you see that awesome pic?

That picture looks like a painting.

I wonder if Brian as watched the video yet and noticed the gun thing. He didn't really react during the performance so I don't think he saw it then, haha.

Thomas you forget, he's already been on stage with Bruce, Brian's like a pro at singing with his heroes by now, haha.

Yeah, you are right..but that's at least what would happen to me . To be honest, that already happened to me - I'm a giant friend of Frank Turner's music and when I met him after a show last December I was so excited to have the possibility of meeting him in person, that I wasn't able to have a proper conversation with him

Haha it would totally happen to me too. I've met Brian 3 times now, and while I can chat with Benny like we're old friends, with Brian if I get out a coherent sentence that's a huge accomplishment. Yet he looked so calm up there with with Eddie. I'd be like "Eddie I'll let you sing it while I just stand here staring at you dumbstruck, sound good?"

Glad to read I'm not completely alone there, 'cause it's it's some kinda embarrassing for me when something like that happens...I always hope the artist has some understanding for that, instead of thinking "Oh, what kinda of idiot is this?"

This is off-topic now...so, sorry for disturbing
