Last band I saw pre lockdown (sigh). Great show, great Venue (electric ballroom), massively pumped up crowd & optimal set list. V excited about the new album also

Enjoyed my first listen of this. Think I could listen to him ramble for days at a time.

Just had a read through of some of the latter entries in the Last Night’s Gig Was thread. Emotional stuff - loads of people posting about great nights out, then stuff getting cancelled, then it petering out completely :frowning:

I am!

It’s Saturday night, I’m a couple of beers in, and I’m watching The Hold Steady (albeit on a computer screen). It’s as close to perfect as it gets right now.

That was soooo good.

That run of Your Little Hoodrat Friend - Slapped actress - How A Resurrection Really Feels had me dancing in my chair.

I don’t think that there are many bands that could generate such atmosphere / good will / community spirit with an online gig.

Ah fuck really regretting falling asleep now. Think Slapped Actress is one of their most underrated songs

I think that it’s available to stream until tomorrow.

The zoom was such a great touch, so nice watching people react to certain songs and sing along and dance and hold up their messages.

Had a little cry at the end when they were just cycling through audience members that might’ve also been all the booze, which I am definitely paying for today

Their Massive Nights performance was - hands down - the best livestream that I’ve seen to date. No way am I missing this.

Sequestered IN Memphis.

the fact that’s it’s available after the fact is really good too, wish more of the livestream had that option. I know seeing it “live” is a lot of the pull for some people, but the flexibility is always an added bonus imho
