Pony Summerstage show!

[melrosewoody]

Just announced on The Pony's site, Gaslight Anthem with The Hold Steady opening on May 25th! Gonna build something this summer

[dealwiththedealers]

Awesome... Stone Pony is a fun summer venue!

[wiredirish]

This is on Livenation presale, password is swoon. $47 a ticket

[Phils_fan]

This comes down to The Thermals for $15 in Philly or a trip to Asbury Park to watch THS as opening band in a parking lot for $47+.

Sad to say I'm not struggling with this decision.

[wealdstone]

You may have a force of nature to contend with over this, Howard called today to see if I fancied a trip...Sadly I can't as I have a place in the Munich pit reserved.

[hoodrat]

this is going to be a balling good show. but i'm afraid my first post-partum out-of-town rock-and-roll adventure is not going to be THS in an opening slot.

[doctoracula]

$47? Who the fuck do the gaslight anthem think they are?

[doctoracula]

Also, that's not how much tickets cost in the 50s

My wife will be several months pregnant with our first and said almost the same thing. If THS were headlining, maybe.

[dealwiththedealers]

So, this is next weekend... THS' first show in almost 5 months. Pretty sure that's the longest layoff they've ever had.

Anyone going?

[thurman]

I'll be there +3

[dmwhalen]

In.

Gaslight Anthem put on a great show.

There's something really special about the solo in recent live versions of Southtown Girls. It was one of my favourite THS solos anyway, but they've done something new with it... It sounds really unique and interesting. It's like they're playing in dorian or mixolydian or something. (Boom! Guitar terms!).

Good to see they're playing new new songs. "Since She Was Seven" stood out to me because it just struck me that Craig never ever mentions kids in his songs (correct me if I'm wrong, lyrics aficionados). Can't think of anyone that's been specified to be under 17.

[dealwiththedealers]

Craig's expression at 0:56 after Steve's lick is priceless.

[nowah]

Glad to see the classic sky blue guitar back on Craig. I was worried about it during the fall and winter shows.
