TGA on Conan this Thursday

I looked to see if this was already posted but couldn't find it. From the official site yesterday:

THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM

We are playing on Conan this Thursday, December 6. Tickets are all gone but if you're really dying to go you can try to get stand-by tickets. They're not guaranteed, but we hear there's a good chance. For Standby Tickets, come to the 2nd floor of the Gate 8 Warner Brothers parking structure* (6564 Forest Lawn Dr., Los Angeles, CA 90068 [MAP]) at 10am on the morning of the taping you'd like to attend. A member of our staff will distribute tickets at 10am and give you a time to return by to see ...

Wish Conan was still in NY

It's all sold out anyway. I'm very privileged to be going because I have a friend who's working for them right now and he got me a ticket.

Shelby you must be the luckiest person on this forum haha

Even on the west coast, TGA cannot escape you!

Hahaha. I may have missed all those shows back home but it's nice to get a little something even though I'm out here. I'm very lucky in that regard! And it's literally the afternoon before I fly home! To think I almost booked a plane ticket that evening.

Just got back from the Conan taping! They were great, as expected. Brian's voice sounded a little worn out (shocker) but definitely solid. The crowd seemed completely clueless as to who they were, but I did meet one other person who was a fan and got tickets the same way I did. Also, it might look better on TV, but poor Ian was like squeezed in directly behind Alex L. Oh and they played Here Come My Man.

I thought they sounded great. Was psyched to see Ian play with them on TV!

Hate to be a douche but as soon as I heard they played HCMM I lost all interest... Songs just not that good.. Oh well

can't find TBS on my tv, so i'll just have to wait until it's posted online!

There's nothing wrong with having that opinion. I mean, (disregarding acoustic versions which I love) it's probably my least favorite song of theirs so I getcha. I like the second half of it a lot but the syncopated part drives me nuts. And I usually like syncopation. But something about it makes me really tense but not in a good "tension-release" kinda way. I always just want them to get past that part. Lyrically I think the song is great though.

hmm, I guess that just comes down to which ones your cable provider happens to give you. I had less than 20 at school and I still got tbs. that's why I was surprised. it'll show up on the internet though i'm sure.

TeamCoco typically posts the full episode the next day as well as various segments. I assume there wasn't an exclusive extra song they performed? They've done that before for online with various other groups.

I also wished that they'd play something else than HCMM. At least Rosamalia's backup vox are getting better.

Nope, no extra song.

I really wish the US got Handwritten as a single like the UK did. I'd rather hear that one all the time.

And yeah both Alexa have clearly been workin hard to make their vocals a lot better. It's awesome, I'm happy for them. For awhile I was pretty convinced Levine's mic wasn't actually on. Especially when he was singing literally a foot away from me and I couldn't hear him.

The mix isnt very good

Vocals were really rough...especially tell tale by Brian's facial expressions during the harder notes.

Like everyone else, wish the new single was Howl or Blue Dahlia (which I can't understand for the life of me was a bonus track). HCMM was brilliant in the studio, and so it should stay.

Hate to say it but this song just drags, especially live like that.

They should let him bring that Rickenbacker on tour for HCMM, he'd be all smiles.

vocals weren't the best at all for that, and Alex kinda just sounded really really random when he sung, don't get me wrong I have no problem with Alex singing, it was just really random and weak compared to other shows they've done for tv. (just my option )

I think that was the mix, Alex's vocals fit fine live. Whoever said this song drags live, I agree. I've never heard of a band releasing a bonus song as a single but I think it might not be a bad idea for them to make an exception. I really think Blue Dahlia could get somewhere.

Definitely not their best performance. I agree with whoever said 'Handwritten' would have been a better single in the U.S also.

I genuinely thought that was great.
