wooouuuhh can't they do this in europe ?!!

nearly every of this bands is great!!

Pretty cool line up but there so down on the line up , so they won't play that long !!!

hoping they are not listed by relevance because I will not accept gaslight playing before WALK THE MOON.

Yea this is usually how the bands will play, they don't play GA that much on Kroq but they do play walk the moon

I know them but they don't even have an album out, right??

yea there album came out in June also the have played the weenie the roast also which is Kroq's summer concert.

i remember seeing this a while ago and totally forgot about it. i wouldn't travel that far for that lineup

tickets are impossible to get, but i’ll try anyway for my boys.

I just wish the tickets didn't cost so much for a show they're not exactly headlining.

Got a ticket for the show !!! So excited

So cool, Didi

KROQ usually streams acoustic xmas but this year they will be having the webcast on Mon Dec 11th starting at 10am so you can watch Gaslight's performance. Just go to KROQ.COM.

couple awesome pics from this evening posted on instagram....

The review on KROQ's site is pretty bad...

"After singing 'Handwritten,' the Gaslight Anthem sang their radio-hit 'Colt 45'"...

Afroman cover?

It's not that bad. Though that line is hillarious...

Quote :

It’s easy to tell that Gaslight Anthem are just passionate rockers who’ve been through the small club circuit, but were always just too big, too bright of stars to fit in and fight on in those cramped circumstances.

Their arena-ready sound is juxtaposed by their tight musicianship. When they performed “American Slang,” inducing the crowd into clapping, it seemed like their own personal anthem and a veritable invitation for Gaslight Anthem lovers to get the band’s name tattooed on the inside of their arm.

Just came on. So far, the footage is excellent. They showed the audience and it was so empty! Where was everyone? There were people standing in the pit area, but the seats were practically empty.

footage is GREAT! tuned in during brian singing 45 with jakob dylan so i'm not sure how much i missed?
