Gaslight Anthem - The '59 Sound on David Letterman TheAudioPerv.com 1/30/09

[J4RJ4R13INK5]

The guy w/ the drum sticks in his hands, yes Letterman that's the drummer... lol

[JamboMikey]

Would have been amazing if the bassist had of just destroyed big Dave at the end there.

[Warrior2735]

@JasonWolfeFL eat dogshit! How's that for auditory communication?

[JasonWolfeFL]

(sigh) This band is the epitome of atrocious. Their careless use of predetermined, musical arrangement, via auditory communication, is that of amateurs. Give me some; 'Panda Stain', 'Hotel Juice Box'... Even 'The Majestic Exteriors Pompous representation of Post-Homoerotic Literature'... One of my most adored composers over this gaggle of delusion.

[InaneKrug]

@JasonWolfeFL So, how does that music major help you when you wait my table?

[scopeslizard]

@InaneKrug aaahhhhhhhhhhhhahahahahahahahh­a man that was classic, you nailed him

[Jizbam]

@JasonWolfeFL You, sir, are truly a connoisseur of the eclectic. By the way, which brand of monocle polish do you find to produce the highest sheen?

[jerkface64]

@JasonWolfeFL Holy pretentious douche bag batman! 

[MrSister127]

i really hate that i can't legally drive down to Jersy to see them at the Stone Pony, and none of my family is likely to drive me, so im stuck listening to recordings, not that those arn't great

[skatepunkzero]

@MusicFiend2310 I've been battling depression for the past few months, I've been using the Gaslight Anthem, Springsteen, Joe Strummer and Social D to get through it

[ttraynor1]

@skatepunkzero Add a touch of Replacements and i think you have found the perfect antidote. Be lucky.........

[asaii]

When David says "What are you the drummer?" it makes me lol.

[tito720]

there new albums cool i just downloaded it. and i'm still going  buy it when it comes out.

[sergiozc]

best band ever

[400mik]

this sounds so fucking good !!!

[GoTeamHiroshima]

What a beautiful, exuberant, genuine performance. These guys inspire me in so many ways, I can't even tell you.

[VioladorDeLaLey]

I heard this album once ... i had to get it!

@Jvideo12 ... I agree with you

[lutz12345]

this is one band... YOOY

very good

[totherescue]

"What are you, the drummer?"

Ace.

[fatpak419]

First of all, you rarely see Letterman that exuberant about a guest. Second, coming from a rustbelt town, Cleveland to be exact, I used to wonder why my Detroit born dad was so into Springsteen and Seger and the songs they wrote, or why I was for that matter. The reason why is because the music is honest, unpretentious and accessible, much like the cities they represent. Gaslight Anthem is cut from the same cloth and I appreciate it.

[junskey]

uyeah fuck that was an awesome performance!!

[SkeltonKid]

Fantastic as always.

[jgill2006]

geeze, i dunno what it is, and people who've seen them live can attest to this i think, but there's something so accessible about these guys. Even though you don't know them, it's like you seem them do so well here and you can't help but feel proud of them and happy for them.

[ezayed90]

It is because they are still human. They make music because they love it, not because all of the fame, money, or the women. Brian constantly attributes his talent to his faith in God and I think that is why people love them. They are so true to themselves.

[mneo212]

just saw them for the first time tonight...You took the words out of my mouth.

[ihatebeer]

OYeessss

[goldenhinde]

mega

[agentjaytee]

For the past 4 weeks or so I've only listened to them.

[tinojams]

sounds like every song they ever written so far, thats a good thing

[jandy16]

Flawless.

[lourensterveen]

do the black sweaters have something to do with some policy about tattoo's or something? I love their Humbleness too, they are in a subtle way something fresh

[ulidiesalzlake]

@lourensterveen or maybe it was cold? hahaha no im just kidding im not really sure. but i couldnt agree more with the humbleness comment

[JimmyHO08]

awesome performance, his voice sounds better in this then on the album, thats awesome

[ffh13]

This is like the first time I've seen the singer wear anything other than a white v-neck and black jeans :-P

[etx313]

Saw these guys in Detroit last week and they killed it. Really really great show. I didn't realize they were getting so big! Saw them last year at a small bar in detroit and they were the opening act so they are definitely getting popular quick.

[codyzulinski]

I love how I've never heard ONE negative comment about these guys. Like at ALL. They're gonna be huge and thebest part is that they're so humble it won't go to their heads.

[Jvideo12]

You know a band is good when their music gives you chills

[bamimaninja]

lmao "what are you...the drummer?!" lol

dude the drummer is tall as hell lol

the guys rock though love this dude

april 24th they are playin here im as giddy as a schoolgirl

[Allysonx40]

Never seen this band live before- and I'm seeing them on April 7th. How stoked should I be?

I love these guys SO much though, and I haven't been able to stop listening to them. Especially lately.

[MidnightSun80]

Letterman loved that shit. Great song, even better album.

[XxPhobiaAngelxX]

yea new jersey!!!!!!

[bloodandwhiskey5]

Goddamn good band

[gladiator1332]

JERSEY ALL THE WAY!!!! Way to represent the garden state guys

[2nd1fromdaleft]

kickass-atude= very high

[tararoxursox0]

i know the drummer believe it or not hes my brother

[boredwhilestudying]

Awesome. Please do me 2 favors. First, tell them they're amazing. Second, try to persuade them to play Maxwell's in Hoboken. They would tear that place apart!

[boredwhilestudying]

Thanks! Seeing them in an environment like Maxwell's would make my year!

[japaboy360]

I don't care what pitchfork has to say. The '59 sound is the best release of 2008. Hands down.

[Fata59]

Finally something different. I got fucking goosebumps outta this performance.

[VISHMAN14]

looooove these guys

[boredwhilestudying]

Jersey Baby! Jerseeeyyy! Get 'em boys!

[VH12th]

saw it on tv for 2 minutes ago, just had to hear it again =D

[nickacrazy23]

I freaking love Gaslight Anthem

[unchiman666]

absolutely awesome!

[hockeytaint22]

damn there good

[80nirvana08]

sooo good, amazing!

[nirvfan81]

I want that Fender Jaguar.

[Devillock90]

@nirvfan81 That's a jazzmaster.

But still a pretty cool guitar

[kallemydia]

fantastic

[whitey182]

i love how they 'congratulate' eachother at the end

this couldn't be happening to a better group of dudes

continued success GLA!

[xMeTheKingx]

That just took my breath away.

[Scandals5]

fuckin right jersey.

[GraveShifterSkeeter]

woooow. thanks for this upload. theyre so amazing

[Bofteam]

LOVE EM

[thewayside0]

what are you, the DRUMMER?

Letterman's baked

[congadrummer]

It is a magical beer when you ask Benny and Alex how many more local shows can you play after doing it since you were 11 years old and then I can watch this again and again... amazing moment in time - best wishes, Dave "the other drummer" from Bearing and the The Surefires

[Onetinsoldier]

What's the type of guitar Brian is playing? Is that some kind of Gibson?

[dontbejack]

Gibson - some Les Paul variant. It almost looks like one of the stripped down Gibson Les Pauls.

[samuraiBSD]

Dude, it's a Les Paul Junior...one of the most iconic guitars in...well, music...

[solon06]

Forza St. Pauli :) !

[newfireseachday]

Wow, they really killed it.

[gregformercy]

what are you...? the drummer...

[BStock05]

awesome, thanks for uploading this

[4x4Grimreaper]

as much as I love these guys and think they deserve to succeed, this does mean one thing: awesome basement shows are no longer possible.

[teklikethis]

its true, but now they are going to play better venues. like in toronto, they're playing at the opera house, which in my opinion is the best venue them to play. its small, but big enough that they can get a good crowd.

[riot86]

i cant wait for this show. the best band around by a long shot, and a great venue

[AcoU2sticMike]

Best band in decades!!!!!!

[almostaskater62]

i freaking love this band, they deserve this and so much more.

[Kohlzy]

Sick performance, lol Dave was really digging the band

[margaj]

They really deserve this. I love them

[dedricthere]

Rocks harder live !

[teklikethis]

this bands amazing. seeing them when they come to toronto!

[farfromemo]

same! can't wait :D

they were great in october!

[hayesta]

such a tight performance. they aced this one.

[ph51]

Brian is so handsome

[blisteredotter]

these guys are niice.

[uhohoverflow]

Swesome performance. But I don't like Brian's guitar's sound very much, should have played the Telly like on the record :-).

[AcoU2sticMike]

Oh, I bet you'd criticize the Mona Lisa too.

Although, I really don't like that painting. But you get my point!!!

[maggieNYU]

I'm so glad these guys are finally getting attention.

Love you guys, you make us proud wherever you go, whatever you do. <3

[DCMeds]

Can't believe how big they've gotten in the past year. From dive bars to letterman. Good for them though but I'll miss the old days.

[sjorourke]

another amazing Jersey band.

[iamEXPLOSIVE]

Fantastic band; fantastic performance :)

[jonathantangjerd]

what an amazing performance. So proud of these guys. I knew they would blow up. They earned it.

[ytakn]

"What are you the drummer" So funny!

Great job guys, making NJ proud!!!

[AIDSDemon]

Yessssss

[AcoU2sticMike]

Brilliant performance!!!!
