This was the first time of seeing them and what a wonderful two hours. They came on starting strongly with tracks from American Slang (3rd album) amd continued for about 90 minutes - then came a storming 30 minute encore which in my view covered most of the best tracks from the second album. This left you feeling on a high as they are very up tempo - good crowd rapport.

One of the most written about, upcoming American bands of 2009 and '10, and having heard their excellent three albums released to date, i was really looking forward to seeing the Gaslight Anthem at the small Picture House venue in Edinburgh.

This review makes no criticism of the band's enthusiasm, energy levels or musicianship, which were all unfaultable on the night. However, they were very badly let down by a quite awful sound mix for their set, hence the meagre two stars awarded.

The vocals were way too low in the sound mix, making it extremely difficult to appreciate Brian Fallon's powerful, throaty rasp of a voice. Anyone who's heard him singing Springsteen's No Surrender, will understand how potent his voice can be. Additionally, and probably the biggest problem, was that both lead and rhythm guitar sounds were given way too much 'top end' dynamics, rendering both lead and rhythm to be virtually indiscernible from one another, apart from the two or three slower songs, and making the guitar section sound a tinny mess. All too frequently, it was very difficult to work out what song was being introduced and played until a recognisable inflection somewhere or other briefly emerged.

Unfortunately, the whole set was afflicted. I don't know what the sound guy was doing as this problem was also picked up on by a few friends and my 15 year old daughter. Although the venue isn't perfect, i saw Arrested Development at the same place a few weeks ago and their sound was crystal clear with strong dynamic range for all instruments and vocals. If the band want to develop as a live act, they need to monitor more closely sound in each venue and have someone at the mixing desk who is responsive to obvious problems.

So, the two stars awarded are purely for the quality of the band's performance as enjoyment of that performance was severely dented by the poor quality of the sound.

Great band and great perfomance, following on from successful show at the Academy in the summer.

Ruined by sound quality on left hand side of the Circle, although sound may have been fine elsewhere.

Wow! Gaslight Anthem were amazing, really enjoyed it... even though I saw them at Hard Rock Calling and knew they were great, they exceeded my 'great expectations' (get it?).
I really think this band deserve to be huge so I took two of my friends who weren't familiar with them to this gig and turned them into huge Gaslight Anthem fans too! They were dancing along from the first song and were raving about it afterwards! Brilliant gig!

A truly great gig,fantastic.The first time ive seen The Gaslight Anthem live...nearly 2 hours of great music with a great atmosphere,......hard to believe they have only made three albums.A tallented group of musicians.
The venue was brilliant...stood in the second row at the front...could nearly touch the stage !!!
If you only see one band in 2011...makes sure its the Gaslight Anthem-you will not regret it.

From the opening notes from The Sharks I knew I was in for an unforgettable evening. Chuck Regan was mesmerising, his lyrics are meant to be heard.
And to The Gaslight Anthem who didn`t disappoint. They covered most of the last two albums to a grateful Manchester crowd who will greet them with open arms when ever they decide to return.
Only one word can describe the whole evening "OUTSTANDING". Come back soon.

They played all my favourites, also including some never before heard songs. The venue was in Manchester and quite small which made it more personal. His voice was good, the sound was good, the atmosphere was good, the lighting was good, their instrument playing was good, the puddles of beer on the floor were not good.

With the release of the band's third album 'American Slang' coming the year after they were joined on stage at Glastonbury by their hometown hero Bruce Springsteen great things were expected. Whilst the album wasn't as well received as their sophomore effort 'The 59 Sound' it’s safe to say that the songs from American Slang were meant to be played live.

Coming out to America: Fuck Yeah from Team American: World Police, the band had the audience’s attention from the get go. Opening songs Orphans and Boxer sounding more vital live than on record, it warmed the crowd for what was to come.

Overall a very solid set with songs from their first (Sink or Swim), second and third albums along with a track from their Señor and the Queen EP. The only misstep was playing a cover relatively unknown to this audience. Whilst it was a nice interlude another track form the 59 sound would have been better (In my option they should have played Meet Me by the Rivers Edge)

Set closer The 59 Sound was fantastic and really got the (surprisingly older) crowd going.

Coming back for their encore with support act Chuck Ragen to play a track from their side project which sounded great. It had a classic American influence (what else?) with heartfelt vocals and should fit it with most Gaslight fans.

Rounding the set off with the beautiful ‘Here’s Looking At You Kid” and the epic 59 Sound closer 'In The Backseat' the band were clearly enjoying themselves and deserve a break after a long tour.

Personally I’m hoping to see them again soon and a new album can't come soon enough. More nights like this and next time they might be playing across town in the MEN!

I'd never really considered what the stereotypical Gaslight Anthem fan would be like before, but it would appear it is drunken, leary men and disinterested women. I had to move three times to get away from people talking through the set, banging into me, and harrassing me. I am by no means a novice gig-goer, and it is the first time in 15 years I've ever experienced anything like this.

However, the band were on great form and filled the stage completely. They played for nearly two hours which more than justified the ticket price. They played most of both their albums, as well as some great extras.

So in conclusion, the band were brilliant, the majority of their fans were questionable.
