The Gaslight Anthem (with live video)

The Radio 1 tent crowd is much reduced for Springsteen sound-a-likes The Gaslight Anthem. They burst straight into their foot-tapping rock and roll.

'Old While Lincoln' is delivered in two parts. The band say that they really started off over here at the Reading Festival last year, although there weren't many there to see them. They dedicate 'Film Noir' to those who were there. They give us a little of 'Stand By Me' and then return to their normal fayre.

The New Jersey four piece fill their set with songs from both albums and 'Great Expectations' is well recieved. Overall they deviate little from their familiar style and its sing-a-long on the big hook chorus' during this warming set. They say they will be back next year and that must mean a new album is on the way too.

You can check out The Gaslight Anthem doing 'The '59 Sound' at Reading Festival for yourself - just play the videos below!
