Concert: The Hold Steady

New Year’s Eve show, band all in tuxes. Some technical difficulties at the beginning created large breaks between songs / they must have changed the wire to Craig Finn’s guitar several times. But once that was fixed, it was a great show, probably the best I’ve seen them play (this was third time I’d seen them).
Odd concert in that it was one of the very few concerts I’ve been to where it appeared that the boys in the audience knew the lyrics better than the girls. Definitely a crowd pleaser, lots of singing along, pumping of fists, etc.
Pretty rockin’ show.
