still after 11 ;)

[@tylerjohnson9154]

Brian Fallon is the type of guy who can make you laugh when he's talking and break your heart as soon as he starts playing and singing... And that's why I love him and his work.

[@brazenlilhussy5975]

You're not wrong Tyler, he writes about the old reliables but the fact a lot of the time you can almost feel that he's almost certainly writing from experience..and that IMO is what sets him apart, there's a connection with the listener that can't be bought.💯

[@creightonconnolly5645]

What a Sowing Season cover!!!

[@ndSpaz]

1930 gave me the chills.

[@canadaiscold85]

I could listen to this version of 1930 100 million times and it would NEVER get old. Absolutely flawless.

[@billcarr3839]

the fact that he covers brand new makes me so happy

[@steelad27]

1930 = one of the best Brian Fallon acoustic songs ever - but for him to cover sowing season. I think i just died.

[@thethunder9991]

I've watched this for so many times over multiple years and it still seems to amaze me. Brian Fallon is a genius and i am so happy that i saw him live at Pinkpop

[@richmello2710]

0:58 - "45" 4:23 - "1930" 8:24 - "Sowing Season" (Brand New cover) 12:30 - "Blue Jeans & White T-Shirts" 15:59 - "National Anthem" 19:25 - "Mae"

[@siddmic]

The Gaslight Anthem is a very prolific band, unbelievable. Between the combined musical talent, and very raw, and gritty lyrics styles of both Benny and Brian, though you can always tell when it's Benny's song, he has a different writing style than Brian. But very rarely do you ever come across a band that is both musically, and lyrically blended to make songs come to life and fill your senses...and makes everyone feel as though he wrote that song about something happening in THEIR life. The lyrics of Brian Fallon are something to truly aspire to. The ease in which he tells a story through verse and pros is something that points to his relying almost entirely on the integrity of his verses in that though me we may never know the story behind his songs - there definitely is one. The honesty comes through and I think that's what really makes The Gaslight Anthem one of the best bands to come out in the past decade.

[@kollodialessilber1156]

I also wanna know which ones are benny's

[@tomorichard]

Here here

[@farnjokerehis1724]

And this is never getting old until the sun says I’m finished. Never seen melody just ooze like that. If I ever love at all I’ll love that song.

[@acemanrules]

New Gaslight Album = A new set of Fallon acoustics to fall in love with. Heaven.

[@bradyjones4679]

Brian Fallon and the Gaslight Anthem need more recognition than they have now

[@garretthall8268]

This set just continues to blow me away. I've watched this thing like 80 times. This is definitely one of my top 5 favorite videos on KZbin.

[@Slazer91]

+Garrett Hall GAYYYY

[@ruris189]

Slazer91 wtf

[@spitroastingdragons]

Only live set that can stand alongside it (IMO) is Nirvana MTV Unplugged

[@smoothsugardevil]

same!

[@McClegg182]

A great Fallon performance... 1930 was probably the best i have heard acoustically.

[@ameneses27]

One of the best cover versions of Sowing Season!

[@edwardkrolop4487]

It seems like no matter how many times I hear it, I never get tired of Blue jeans & white t-shirts.

[@seanbrooke8839]

This may be my favourite and most visited video on KZbin. Incredible set from an old fashioned genius that puts his heart and soul into every beautifully written word. Just so pure, raw and honest.

[@christophecarpentier9797]

I can't believe how Brian can weave such emotion and talent into simple chords and words. Silk for the soul!

[@sfish9495]

Christophe Carpentier one the best songwriters alive

[@connormccann6511]

i have listened to this set i don't know how manny times i really wish i could have been there

[@csquare111]

I have fallen asleep listening to the HUNDREDS of times over the years

[@WashThatCar]

I think this is quite possibly the perfect set.

[@odinp]

Brian Fallon, your songs make me cry.

[@ranknative8203]

i’m on my last beer, my love one by my side. she’s carrying our first born. god damn...life is so weird...so hard...she makes me strong and i’m glad i have her...this music...& this beer. cheers to all, i pray y’all have it good. but trust but we all have it bad...but it’s when it is bad that we notice the good.

[@monicamonteparte]

That's beautiful

[@wtfserpico]

Hope you are doing well friend.

[@themikeyrussell69]

Wow this cover of sowing season is the first time I’ve heard the song but that blew me away

[@CW-kn1so]

great songs appear to be about loss, regret, and overall regret. Great voice, great writing, great playing, great talent!

[@Chaos3742]

The dude's a legend.

[@tomorichard]

A pure poet. A never ending tribute to my youth If only the youth of today idolised this as a posed to the poison of today.

[@ZzyzxRd12]

brilliant performance. Mae inparticular in this performance is just spine tingling

[@sadfulxyz]

absolute awesome! Best live/accoustic version of 45 ive ever heard

[@canadaiscold85]

That's because it's flawless and beautiful! Perfect to fall asleep to.

[@corypoulton1578]

Favorite live performance, never get tired of losing myself in it... thanks Brian!

[@honzas23]

he is such brilliant artist, writting so smart lyrics

[@thekeegster715]

i come here often just to listen to this particular version. his acoustic renditions rival the actual songs.

[@canadaiscold85]

The most beautiful version of 1930 I have ever heard! :)

[@ChillPhil86]

give me mercy and a minute now.... this guy is so awesome!

[@pureostriker]

the world will hear of this man.. good job brian fallon

[@jimboscustoms]

Fantastic set ♥️

[@MaxGauthierguitar]

For some reason I thought it was fantastic how he forgot that he was tuned down when he went to start National Anthem at 16:05 and sung the first note in the regular key but he doesn't miss a beat and just adjusts and champs through the song instead of stopping and using a capo.

[@JamisonPomeroy]

And he throws in a Bon Iver line at the end. So perfect.

[@kevpatrob]

this is so jersey, i love it. the broad stage right in the blue makes it

[@hyperins0mnia]

You need to. I've seen Gaslight at least 10 times and they are absolutely phenomenal.

[@tylerdurden1221]

this dude never stops! Rock on Brian Fallon

[@Otxoamusic]

Wow, that sowing season cover is amazing

[@OPGANGENTERTAINMENT]

[@PipBobalibus]

Best version of 1930 ever

[@gregbrown3082]

22:45 listening to this in 2024, and just heard for the first time, "Come on skinny love, just last the year." Cheers to Bon Iver!

[@NerdicsBricks]

Such a great musician!!!

[@timesnotpoison]

maybe the most perfect thing I have ever seen.

[@GAHPanda]

He's been pretty big about Bon Iver on his Twitter lately. I appreciate that he alluded to it at the end of Mae. His acoustic sessions are always great.

[@MusicMadness86]

this music will heal my soul

[@2StarEast]

[@crk140]

@Kenneth Steele some of the best music made in 20 years

[@flytrueproductions1018]

The best

[@paulsingh1984]

Still here after 12 years…

[@dwright05]

This man can save music. I fully believe he can do what Bruce Springsteen did for music. And that's where the comparisons between him and Springsteen end for me. They have a few subtle similarities and of course their lyrics will be similar but Fallon is not a Springsteen clone or wannabe. He can just have the effect on music that Springsteen had. It's amazing seeing them get the publicity they deserve. Amazing for them and for us.

[@bigleebrink]

I sat right next to this fair man in a burger bar in North London tonight... Kicking myself that I didn't talk to him.

[@nicoWrS]

G.L.A. Best band in years!!!!

[@teundilles]

Put a headphone on and this sounds even better. I guess this is binaurally recorded. Awesome!

[@barryhallett1746]

Brian 🌲 sing us a song we all could use a little cool breeze.Barry from Toronto Canada

[@MrRubkeDupke]

[@paulsingh1984]

[@andrewstorrie3707]

Whoa!

[@bosso3rd]

love GA but daaamn, that audience seems like some extras otherwise brilliant, Brian's voice makes my heart ache and my mind wanders to loves and mistakes past...

[@geoffderidiot]

Fallon playing "Sowing Session"? I just fucking died!

[@MrRyanxdavey]

[@swordsbros]
