Count it down & make it count.
Looking forward to the upcoming road trip to Atlanta—it’s a week from Friday. To combat the stressy stench on these middle school hallways, I’ve decided a countdown is in order. Though seeing Katie & her lovely life in A-town sounds perfect all by itself, I’ll have the treat of watching The Gaslight Anthem play in town that Saturday night. Thanks to several very late nights in Boston spent speeding past that Charles River with strangers turned tooclosefriends in a few short weeks—“The Backseat” holds a certain value above the other tracks they’ve written & I am hoping the setlist below is right. Can’t fathom a better close to a set than the lines: “You know the summer always brought it. That wild and reckless breeze. And in the backseat we’re just trying to find some room for our knees.”
The Setlist from an earlier show this month is below.
