The Gaslight Anthem Feat. Bruce Springsteen - American Slang - 12/09/11 - Asbury Park - WATCH IN HD!

Surprise guest appearance by Bruce Springsteen at The Gaslight Anthem holiday show on 12/09/11 at Convention Hall in Asbury Park, NJ. This was a "Christmas present" from the band to the fans. They perform the song "American Slang." Sorry for the video being shaky at times and a little out of focus...did the best i could...the place went nuts! Enjoy it for what it is! Watch in 720HD for best quality! **COPYRIGHT 2011 - RYAN BYRNE** Feel free to use but please give me credit. Thanks!

[@RomTankin]

I almost blew off work to go this show, but then I thought, "Nah, I should be responsible." The lesson is: never be responsible.

[@undervelvetlounge4232]

You always pay the cost for The Boss

[@donaldjoy4023]

The crowd!! Belting out the entire lyrics so loud the band is drowned out!! Amazing

[@YouthEnergy]

The crowd is fantastic!

[@epic690sucks]

i can feel the energy from this show through my screen

[@gojira931]

This was the first Gaslight video I ever saw because the link was posted on Bruce's website. 9 months later they're one of my favorite bands and I gotta give credit to The Boss for turning me on to them.

[@paulkeen5646]

Given the circumstances, you couldn't ask for a better video. Thanks for making this a present to lots of people.

[@aepceallach]

i feel like a proud parent! my favorite band is SERIOUSLY getting places!

[@joseleston1913]

That was great nite in asbury i was there with my brother and roger place was buzzing

[@cheekyboy5000]

Bruce looks properly made up to the there! He knew all the words. I guess it's a New Jersey thing. He really cared about that band, because they're carrying on his legacy.

[@brianwilner3634]

YOu can see what a cool, humble, happy guy Bruce is. Also could tell how much joy he gets in playing music.

[@nobber1587]

What a feeling that must be having the boss belt out one of your tunes!!

[@anneliesvan]

All I want for Christmas is this. I've seen Bruce live several times (5) live in the Netherlands and he is magic..................... Compliments for Gaslight Anthem.....................

[@gabymassey]

this was one of the best birthday presents I ever had

[@jackbrokenshire1187]

I would've loved to have been there I was at Hyde Park in 2009 when Bruce did The 59 Sound with The Gaslight Anthem, it was the first time I heard them it was brilliant. My 2 favourite artists

[@kinseymilkbone]

OK, Bruce Springsteen comes out and still the audience drowns out both him and the band. How amazing is that?

[@williampratt2981]

Bruce comes out and the roof is blown off!

[@KleWdSide]

Well, I think the only people that give a damn about Gaslight Anthem are Springsteen fans.

[@OutlawPeteNJ]

@Littledevil05 nice one... the crowd energy is incredible.... they were singing so loud you can't even hear bruce's vocals and barely hear Brians at times. thanks for grabbing this. I've yet to see gaslight (heard great things about them) but they are now on my must see bucket list :)

[@CbradyNJ]

Being from NJ and a huge Gaslight and Bruce fan I wish I could have been there. It must of been unreal.

[@ericdantona]

Seeing Bruce Springsteen for the first time at sunderland in June, no word of a lie my life will be complete if Gaslight Anthem could be the support act!

[@maxmaexchen4445]

The Boss and Brian Fallon. Fu** it, doesn't get any better

[@kb2zuz]

Awesome video (and killer audio!), Ryan! It was an amazing show. I was disappointed in the number of people who left as soon as Bruce was done. There's something wrong with buying up tickets, pushing scalping prices insanely high just so you can say you saw Bruce. A lot of people who wanted to go but couldn't get tickets. Bruce came out to support a band that he respects, to see a number of people disrespect them by bailing as soon as he's gone is sad. Love Bruce, but this was a gaslight show.

[@fatbench]

Such a great moment when he came onstage! It took an already great show to a whole new level. I'm so glad I was there, I'll never forget that.

[@ycroniyael1976]

Gas light are great!! Bruce is a Beast.. I love him so much!!!

[@daz5946]

THE BOSS AND THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM IT DOES NOT GET BETTER

[@bosstime41]

bought tickets presale and again day of sale to get GA... was too sick to travel.... so sad to see that I missed another great high energy show.... and Bruce.... ~sigh~ Thanks for posting this Ryan!

[@alphaacton]

you alaways remember from where you come from and who helped you along the way. Always you pay forward.

[@creepymcfeel]

I've never been more jealous of anything in my life! Thanks for the vid.

[@AdamDavey-dw3bd]

I live in Queensland Australia and I feel I could of hear it here sitting on my verandah ❤

[@Johnwould1]

Absolutely phenomenal video and performance...as my buddy said when he saw it this morning...Who the f*?! needs coffee when you've got this?

[@ArcadeFrie]

wow. You can feel the energy from the crowd.

[@CliffGonshery]

OMFG - Convention Hall in Asbury Park is still Shaking, Today...Totally Awesome - Without Question!

[@bladesonly]

Dear Santa, all I want for Xmas is a Telecaster!!

[@bentietz7617]

This song makes so much more sense seeing Springsteen doing it..

[@Santana105]

Had I been there this would've definitely been the greatest moment of my life

[@fatbench]

I was there, and I struggle to think of a moment that tops it. This video still gives me chills.

[@kari012582]

Definitely one of the most amazing things I have ever experienced in my life! I have been seeing shows in Asbury for years waiting for this to happen.

[@nathalex04]

i have seen them at Hard rock calling London 2009.Great great memory. A french fan Bruce girl

[@gandeeman07]

Great video! Thanks for the capture and post. I was there too and you are literally only feet away from where I was standing based on the position of the video. INCREDIBLE night. I've seen nearly 150 bands live and this was the most amazing concert experience I've ever had. This is one of those nights you will be telling people about for years and always smile knowing you were a part of it.

[@ilovebarackoli]

@McGillickKevin That was me!!! I got yelled at twice for trying to film videos, which wouldn't have been that great seeing is how I was in the pit and there was no way I was going to be able to stand still. I flipped the guy off and told him he needed to get his panties out of a bunch and calm down!

[@junglelandchristina]

Omg this is amazing! Thank you so much for posting- must have been a real treat for those lucky enough to see it! Two true Jersey boys!!!!!!

[@mannyldepor5034]

Glad to have there for this.

[@therover1991]

great show. glad to say i was there for this

[@1234LETStartAwar]

so mad i missed this, thanks for the video !

[@wesker2007]

THE BRUCELIGHT ANTHEM!!!

[@dutch1171]

@Littledevil05 Thanks for sharing this vid Ryan... As a Bruce fan for my 40 years it's great to see him again with TGA. First show I saw of Bruce was Sydney, Born in the USA tour of 85. I was 14, an experience that has never left me.

[@Bad__Scooter]

When the crowd is louder than the fucking punk band, you know something special is happening. This is a perfect recording.

[@darkblue1223]

So glad I was there to see this. Unforgettable.

[@SteveBerberovic]

Classic!I now have hope for the future of rock and roll

[@integers]

AWESOME video. I was at the show too, but my video was pretty shaky, and I couldn't help but sing during recording. Thanks for a crystal clear memory of this night, one which nobody in attendance will forget. Ever.

[@joycebunn6045]

Love love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@nadiadavoli]

This is awesome. The crowd is loud and awesome. Awesome.

[@iskitheast29]

first concert i ever went to....best concert i ever went to

[@FoxtrotAlfaBravo]

The current and the next generation of rock & roll. Behold. Deliver me from nowhere!

[@broooooooooooooooose]

Sheeeiit. I was gonna drive down from boston for this show. I had a feeling that was gonna happen. Two abosolute beasts ripping it up.

[@JK-oy8kq]

So fucking good. I'm freaking out that they're getting back together, just binging all the videos again

[@markcarrigan3179]

The crowd 😍

[@undervelvetlounge4232]

Need this now!

[@jenshellmund8050]

Es gibt Künstler !!! Und es gibt bruce👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@sully4of5]

Great thanks for capturing and sharing!

[@motosessions]

Feels like I must add my name to the list of lucky souls to have been there for this. standing not too far from where this was filmed. Hair raising experience. Whistling at 3:20 sounds a lot like me

[@Kabobit2]

The song is really good and so is the performance.

[@OutlawPeteNJ]

@Littledevil05 i'm up to 120 shows/appearances since 1972. but the real bulk of them came after 78 tour and beyond. I may know one other kid who's younger than you here in Jersey that's a couple of years younger than you I think that will give you a run for that 20 show thing. but it's all good :)... hey lookies... your video is now up to over 50K views :) great job on getting this and getting it up online here :)

[@kalelskywalker]

holy shit amazing video, looks like an awesome gig too. saw ga last year in dublin and they took the roof off the place, seen the boss loads of times, going again in july, won't be the same without the big man

[@acrobatmoon13]

AWESOME! Was such a great show last night and don't worry about it being shaky at all - with mine, you need to take motion sickness meds! You're right, the house went nuts! Sooo much fun!

[@tylerbabineau8219]

Right about 4:40, you see something. It’s almost like a passing of a torch, and it’s beautiful.

[@hendrixman1996]

I was there. What an awesome experience :)

[@starstruck76]

Excellent video!!!

[@laynescantrell4780]

Jersey's finest playing with another great Jersey band. What a fucking thrill. THE BOSS

[@michaeleichler8522]

Great,....Fantastic.. awesome

[@sleazyEAR]

Littledevil05, great document. I have shared it at facebook, on the site I admin there: Popular 1 Rock n' Roll Magazine in Spain. I've interviewed Brian twice -in Barcelona at their last world tour gig and in Dublin at the Revival Tour, along with Ian, Chuck, Dave and Dan-. So much I dig this. Thank you from the deep of TGA fans in Spain. Many, and increasing.

[@darrenwilliams9871]

long live the boss

[@4snaar]

thanks for sharing!

[@jakedamis]

New Jersey BABY!

[@maxmaexchen4445]

[@MannBrothersFilms]

[@LostInTheFlood91]

@countingcrows123 they're not booing, they're saying bruuuuuuce!

[@huxits3]

Amazing

[@lazylauren111]

wow 38,000 views, but yet 300... this is amazin :D

[@RomanJoseRoman]

perfect.

[@jayhawks69]

GEM!!!

[@catgoyda4249]

Wow thanks

[@charmedone58]

@thejoshblogtumblr Actually he may have been a Bruce fan subconsciously in the womb as our mother is a huge Bruce fan as well and played lots of Bruce while she was pregnant with him.

[@markuswerner1652]

that´s so fucking awesome !!!

[@DeadshirtRecords]

It's awesome that he's there and singing along, but you can't hear him at all. That's actually pretty typical at a Gaslight show - the crowd sings along with pretty much every line.

[@menandmice]

The going is quite handsome!

[@OakRidgePunk777]

If this is from Asbury Park 12/9/11, I was there. hahaha

[@TJB5]

Wow!

[@jamesjarrett52]

Hi guys..Bruce fans might also like Sam Fender..I'm sure you ve heard of him.

[@dennisdejeu2290]

Great !

[@Jerseymikephoto]

Rolling Stone Magazine just linked this video on their webpage.

[@darrenwilliams9871]

yeah yeah

[@rob-dirienzo]

@kineticvalleys Yeah. We were fucking pumped up.

[@theIwka]

this is pretty fucking amazing!

[@woozybmx]

fukkkkk yes!!!!!!!

[@TheNellamaria]

very cool..

[@Pickyjonez]

Perkins running back on. Looks like the Cheshire Cat!

[@ilovebarackoli]

@McGillickKevin hilarious! Were you standing behind me?

[@holitipu]

@KleWdSide what a ridiculous question. Come back in 35 years and then a comparison can be made.

[@jmstone79]

Great stuff, man. Very jealous. Hope you don't mind that we used it on a website I write for (I gave you props, of course).

[@touseejfox1]

🙏🙏❤️❤️🙌🙌
