    If he mixed in more GA songs I would have more of an interest in seeing his solo shows... some of them sound incredible stripped down

    god damn i love this version of this song. never really heard the lyrics before.

    you know. the more i listen to this, this version sounds like something that will play at the end of a movie while the end credits roll. like a movie where the young guy dies suddenly and his wife lives on. it sounds to me like goodbye. like forever. he is buried with letters she wrote him. he wonders if she will visit him after he dies. he wonders if she will remember him or just go on. the last verse he says if she had died he would visit her.

    he does mix some in sometimes. i think he is kind of like PJ in a way that he will throw in a random cover or an alternate version of a GA song or two. he tours with a different band each time he goes out. when i talked to him last year he said that these songs he is writing for solo records are not GA songs and they would not fit GA. that is why he records and tours as "brian fallon" so he can play whatever he wants.

    Catching up. 

    Track list is up. And next song is out - If You're Prayers Don't Get to Heaven. Got to see it live last month and liked it bug the studio version is incredible.

    Also check out his interview with Matt Pinfield in his podcast. One of the most clear and open interviews Brian has ever given. Very open about songs old and new, Bruce and most importantly Gaslight.

    Agree that both songs from the album so far and the interview with Matt Pinfield are great.

    Have you or anyone else heard any details about this Count Basie show in Jersey on January 14? I got a random email to buy tickets for it so I did, but then haven’t heard one detail about it from Fallon himself or the venue.

    I'll be there too. Seems like random people that bought Starland tickets got an invite. But not all. 

    this article explains what the set up will be. Sadly the Smithereens were going to be the first ones the night before. Maybe Brian will cover a song for Pat.

    The interview with Pinfield was really good.  Good to hear him say that he would definitely be open to playing shows with Gaslight again.  But it seems like that is so far off right now and that really bums me out.

    What a set last night. 

    Opened with a killer 59 Sound on piano. No one expected that. Have heard acoustic versions over the year but the piano version really highlighted how dark the lyrics were. It was great. Same could be said for Painkillers and Forget Me Not which were also played on piano. 

    Heres a rewiew. Also saw some great YouTube clips I'll see if I can find

    I'm really enjoying the 4 tracks that have been released from the new album so far. Looking forward to the new album and seeing him in KC on April 14.

    Have an awesome night! :joy:
  • Everyone on leak watch for this one? I wasn't really sure if Painkillers could be topped in my mind, but I'm getting the feeling this album could beat it. If you haven't heard them yet, there are 90 second clips on iTunes for the whole album. I agree with you guys though, See You On The Other Side is a wonderful song and a great choice to end the album.

    Beat me by a second. So far through Etta James. First thought is Horrible Crowes, Ryan Adams self titled hybrid feel. Mean that as a major compliment
