We did it when we were young

I waited for this show for months. probably since the day they announced it. by the time I got the the venue, Sharks were almost done playing. I saw 3 songs, which included a cover from I fought the law. when they were done I took a look around. I think I never been to a show where I was this out of place. no familiar faces, I was completely different from everyone else. not that it really matters, I just noticed it. after 15 minutes Chuck Ragan came on. after a few songs he told he was going to Louisiana after the tour. to see his grandfather before he died. he told about him, how he learned almost everything from his grandfather. very touching moment. he played a nice set. even played a new song, which sounded very cool! after another 15minute break, it was time for The Gaslight Anthem. they opened up with The spirit of jazz. from then on it was just one hour and a half singing along. after a few songs though, Brain told something about us Belgians speaking 2, or more, languages and that he only knew English and a bit Italian. he mentioned how in Canada they speak French and they only know English, and that the Canadians kill the Americans in hockey. “it’s like when the Americans try to play soccer. we have baseball though … which nobody cares about except us. so, when I’m a millionaire someday, I’m gonna take everyone here to a baseball-game, hot-dogs included.” fun! they played a neat set as well. they played almost everything on American Slang, and a few from The ‘59 Sound/Sink Or Swim. I left with a few more songs remaining but I had to catch a train. before I went, I picked up the American Slang 12”.
