Gaslight Anthem, 15 Oct 2012, Brixton Academy, London

A really good gig. Crowd were completely into it from the start. The material from Handwritten went down really well, especially '45'.

The set was still very 59-Sound-heavy, but the pre-encore section really whistled along, except for a very slight lull before the Backseat closer.

Things really took off in the encore with a blinding version of American Slang and a really strong Queen of Lower Chelsea.

Seeing them again at Brixton, it was much more enjoyable being nearer the front and enjoying the audience clap-alongs than trying to appreciate them from the back as I did at their last Brixton gig.

I'm now really looking forward to seeing them again sometime soon.
