Holy shit, last night was really something. Probably the most exciting setlist I’ve witnessed. Was in no shape to get up front yesterday, but enjoyed it a lot from the balcony with delboydrums, tbob and lots of other great people. Got waaay to drunk. Let’s hope night #3 is just as good.

What are the good bars around Oslo? The Cock Tavern is excellent. Also looks like there are a bunch of us in here doing that semi awkward first pint eyeing up vaguely familiar people before eventually saying hello thing!

Two new songs tonight! 'You Did Good Kid' was definitely brand spanking new but my friend seemed to think the second one (Blackout Sam) was the same from last night (Denver Haircut). I was peeing when they played it last night so I can't weigh in...

It was a superb show and setlist. Spend the 1st half drinking my body weight in beer on the balcony and the 2nd half down the front.
Muzzleofbees, were you the guy in the yellow T-Shirt on the balcony Satda nite?

Could have been me. My t-shirt was off-white. Might have looked yellow in that weird red light. I stood in second row, just about in the middle of the balcony and think I screamed out every single lyric.

I'm finally back home in Norway, and while my ears still ring and my throat is in pretty bad shape, I feel pretty damn good. And I think this was my best Hold Steady experience since the absolutely crazy show in Sheperd's Bush in 2014. Everyone in the crowd just seemed happier, sweatier and more energized than last year. It might have been a personal mode I was in, but I felt both the band and the audience turned everything up one notch.
The setlist wasn't perfect compared to my personal favourites, but they were sort of perfect anyway. A beautiful mix of the most popular songs (Friday must have been as close to a hit parade Hold Steady ever will come), deep cuts and four (!) brand new tracks. And I love how they have perfected the dynamics and flow in the sets. They are so well modelled.
London delievered too. To watch Leyton Orient was lots of fun, Camden was nice as always, Hackney a pleasant new experience and I even got to dig into a Sunday roast while watching Premier League on TV.
And the fans, the people, the scene: You are amazing. So much positivity, so many smiles, such a great community. I'm so glad I've gotten to know some of you guys at these shows over the years. To come in from Norway and meet up, is just an amazing feeling. I'd like to thank you all for what you do to contribute to this beautful thing that The Hold Steady and The Unified Scene truly are.

You were marvellously drunk, though. You crazy football fans! Wonderful to be alongside you Jonas.
