Brian Fallon & Chuck Ragan - Great Expectations (acoustic)

[@johncarter765]

Miss my best friend R.I.P. The times we spent hanging at the lake singing this song together. Now this video makes me cry every single time... Such a great performance.

[@garretthall8268]

Chuck's harmonica and the "Warbrain" verse just take the song to another level.

[@ThatIanShane]

"Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you" guts me every time

[@chuckmoney8721]

When you expect it, it really doesn't hurt as much though

[@toddlakin5795]

@@chuckmoney8721 Depends. Maybe you're looking to hurt so you'll feel something

[@andrewstorrie3707]

it is timeless!

[@6j6666]

Yup

[@TimInNashville]

I have lost track of how many times I have watched this and just really been taken to a better place.

[@akovach87]

This is true to this day

[@makeupmaven1384]

Same here

[@jstawful]

The Warbrain (by Alkaline Trio) part took me by surprise. This is amazing.

[@alexmiller4796]

Best part I think

[@jcushforever]

Wow me too!!

[@DrKepperGaming]

Being from Chicago, I wish I could see this happen live once. I've went to every Chicago show gaslight ever played since 59' sound tour and it never happened.

[@barrymundi480]

Right on !...So good !!

[@keeganhymer8467]

Besides skiba, no ones else could sing the warbrain verse better than Brian did and I’d even put him on pare with skiba.

[@RaviStar108]

Changing the bridge to include Warbrain really caught me off guard. So beautifully done

[@slap690]

One of the greatest live acoustical performances I've ever seen

[@frankgrimes591]

Still epic all these years later. Good job boys. Thanks for the pick me up with this beautiful performance.

[@kirbygouldey2032]

Defenitely my favorite artist who's alive. Hands down. I can't even put in words how this music makes me feel. Love is not a strong enough expression. Perfect americana. Livin in asbury park I need to see him live. Wherever I end up this music will always remind me of my sweet and awkward years as a 90s punk kid growing up and being extremely lucky enough to have family with a house down the shore. Born in philly but such a huge piece of my heart has always been in jersey.

[@jonnyboy5357]

Kirby G me too...sooo good

[@loisanne3694]

Fav band of alll time. Cant state how much I love this band

[@brolland07]

This is the best version, I always come back to it

[@patrickflynn3796]

alkaline trio and hot water music always play each others songs and they are always spot on..2 of my favorite bands ..straight up legends

[@alexbruner8667]

I've listened to this version at least 100 times in the last week.

[@sfish9495]

Alex Bruner it's fantastic

[@boomblind12]

those trusty chords will pull me through

[@kris3135]

Can´t stop listen to this...all night, so good!

[@joannmoseley2319]

What an incredibly beautiful,, soulful song. The pain and regret is palatable. He is an amazing talent

[@panzertooE-CollartrainingPAGER]

My favorite Brian Fallon video

[@goldenageenthusiast]

The acoustic version of Handwritten is incredible

[@Nocentz66]

It’s funny that this song transcends ages. My kids, under 8 have wanted to play this on repeat for the last month since I have showed them this.

[@davebrady2389]

Fuck, I love this version. And Warbrain in the middle of it makes it just that much better. Muy bueno.

[@tonyc579]

Dude yes!! alkaline trio fits fucking amazingly on this song

[@bdGongShow]

Was just about to say how much I love Warbrain in this song!

[@DownInFront]

my guess is because of the line "Trusty Chords" which is a Hot water music song.

[@LawDawe]

agreed, MUY

[@nathanedgar4459]

Right!?!?!? Freakin amazing

[@harry_popper]

I can't go on You said my head's too heavy I need that song Those trusty chords could pull me through and early on they saw the warning signs and symptoms all day long :)

[@thatrocksong]

This video started it all for me... I saw it on TV and since then I'm in love with Gaslight Anthem, Hot Water Music and discovered so many great artists through them... Thank you Brian and Chuck!

[@Hallucination]

the only people who would dislike such a performance are people who don't like music.

Seriously.

One of my favorite sets from these guys, great stuff

[@valediction1]

Absolute Sahne das Teil. Habe ich im Fernsehen gesehen und Gott sei Dank und moerph sei Dank hier gefunden. Danke mein Freund.

Warbrain simply just fits in this song.

This was the version of this song, that made me fall in love with it, didnt realise till years later 'warbrain' was in middle.. such a great version xx

[@THINK178]

when one day music is sent directly to our brain, this is the song that will constantly play.

[@nyhsen]

one of the best songs i heard in my entire life

[@Joosh1872]

Words just aren't enough to describe how good this sounds. Surreal!

[@davidcockreham7329]

He certainly feels this, as he feels everything he does as a musician. Brain is one of the most under appreciated artists out there. This version is perfect.

[@natkutje182]

The verse from Warbrain has been implemented so beautiful in to this. Excellent!

[@Googally]

[@christophernelson2423]

The "Warbrain" inclusion is awesome. I haven't read the rest of the comments, but in "Warbrain" there's a line "Those trusty chords could pull me through", which is a reference to the Hot Water Music song "Trusty Chords".

[@versebuchanan512]

My favorite and most relatable song ever.

Lyrics Mary, this station is playing every sad song I remember like we were alive I heard it Sunday morn' from inside of these walls In a prison cell, where we spent those nights And they burned up the diner where I always used to find her Licking young boys' blood from her claws And I learned about the blues from this kitten I knew Her hair was raven and her heart was like a tomb My heart's like a wound And I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? Mary, I worried and stalled every night of my life Better safe than making the party And I never had a good time, I sat by my bedside With papers and poetry about Estella With great expectations We had the greatest of expectations And I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Everybody leaves, so why, why wouldn't you? It's funny how the night moves Humming a song from 1962 We were always waiting Always waiting We were always waiting for something to happen I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my first wife Everybody leaves and I'd expect as much from you I saw tail lights last night in a dream about my old life Everybody leaves and why, why wouldn't you

[@austinmoehring6110]

I remember back when there was lame- played out Dave Mathews Band and Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Old Guitar Hero and Rock Band music too. Punk and real rock and roll had died for me. I'm sure others felt the same. I remember being so bummed with rock These guys brought rock and roll back to life for me. I'm so thankful my bro turned me on to them then. I jammed so much to this
