You had me at “Hey Whiskey”

April 6th, 2007 Jersey

Pre-post disclaimer: I promise this will be my last post about The Hold Steady.

They played Atlantic City- and by many accounts, they stole the show-

Can The Hold Steady get ANY BETTER?

Here’s a low-grade cellphone video of the Rosalita encore- Craig Finn kicks things off and then is ushered BACK to the mic by The Boss at the (arguably) greatest line in the song- (4:53 in the video)
