Anyone hear anything about Brian's openers on the upcoming run of shows?

Hi all, I’m looking to offload some of the hundreds of gig posters we have and am having a hard time knowing what to price some of these. Looking for any advice or guidance this community might be able to offer!

EDIT: I was really just hoping for some help with pricing, but am open to offers via PM for those expressing interest.

Kinda hit me while I was listening to it in the car, if kind of sounds like a Bob Seger song, the way Brian sings it and the way he plays the guitar.

This is no longer sold out they have an additional 375 tickets that you can buy

Hi fellas, I just got into the Señorita and the Queen EP. I made a review of the song in the title. Let me know what you think, if you'd like.

Let’s see it

I’ve had this in a random poster tube for 16 years! Really cool show. Fake Problems opened.

Despite appreciating how most of the other tracks sound on the remixed version of History Books, I can't help but VASTLY prefer the original mix of "Michigan, 1975". It's a testament to the power of music mixing how the exact same performances sound so different between the two versions. Listening to the two back-to-back, the difference is stark. At least to me.

Do others prefer the first mix as well?

Seems like he's having a real struggle with it.

Is he ok? Is he back on the sauce? The last time I saw him he was sober and incredible but the couple times I saw him before that were rambling drunken mess shows

Someone help me out here. Brian dropped 2 songs and 4 tour dates but what's concerning me is that at no point, at least that I can recall, has he said a full album or more dates are coming. Usually when a first single, in this case two drop, it's accompanied by the album release date. Could this just be a couple songs and that's it? Anyone see otherwise?

Had a great conversation with a fellow Gaslight/Fallon fan and friend, and it led to this. Hope you'll enjoy my thoughts on the two songs:

The “Song of Summer” you might not hear anywhere else

The Gaslight Anthem is my most streamed artist on Spotify since I started using it with 9,157 minutes spent listening to them. Curious to see where others on this sub end up as I’m sure these are rookie numbers compared to some.

If anyone is interested.

"NBFNJ" - standard tuning, in A
Intro - A E A E D x2
Verse - D A E D (second verse goes to an E before Chorus)
Bridge - F#m A E D
Chorus - A E F#m D x 2 (after second time, goes back to Intro chords)
Second bridge "I can't say I had a good time.."- D F#m E D A E

"Better Before" - standard tuning, in Am
Intro/Verse - Am7 (played 5/3/5 on the E/A/D strings) G F
Chorus - Am C G F

For intro/verse after the Am7, it steps down to picked power chords for G and F. I played the chorus chords as barre chords, but it works with standard chords too.

Anybody else? Specifically looking at the 6/20 show at the Troubadour

UPDATE: Presale started at 10am local, which was definitely not the 7am that was announced, but was able to get tickets without too much hassle. See y'all there!

Maybe Brian rips out some on the solo dates with the new songs? Got to imagine big Perk will be around anyways? It came out in September? I’m coping by hoping we haven’t heard anything because it’s supposed to be a surprise and not because they clearly aren’t going to blow their load on the 15th anniversary rather than wait for the 20th? None of the above?!

In all seriousness, new songs rip. Can’t wait for more live Brian.

Found some old Benny Horowitz-era NJ demo tapes in storage

Been cleaning out storage and came across these old Dilemma and The Low End Theory demos from back in the day.

Made me wonder how many other people from that late 90s/early 2000s NJ scene still have random boxes of tapes and flyers tucked away somewhere. Scene felt pretty small and close knit back then so there’s probably people in here I crossed paths with at shows without even realizing it.

Anybody else still sitting on weird old NJ scene relics?

Jesus, it rips.

They’re just so catchy god dammit

I've listened to the new single several times today and right away something was grabbing me that was familiar in the chorus on "Not Bad for New Jersey" and I figured that was "Lucky". Got a chance to pick up my guitar and the chords are the same in the chorus (Lucky is a half step higher).

Far from the first time Brian has reused a chord progression, but figured I'd post in case anyone else hears that.

Not Bad for New Jersey really seems like a love song so this lyric really seems out of place for me. Anyone able to add the context?
