The Hold Steady did a two-night stint at the Williamsburg Music Hall earlier this week. I’m sure the shows were great (even though I’m still disappointed with them for the lackluster Irving Plaza and Towson Theater shows I saw a couple of months ago) but I opted out of this current northeast run. (The first string of shows I’ve missed since 2007).

ANYWAY- you know that feeling you have after a show that absolutely moves you has just ended and you don’t want the party to end? Well, it looks like around 200 people at the Williamsburg show had some sort of insane collective energy that carried over into what can best be described as “Post Show Rosie Rock Out”.

The house lights were up. Most of the crowd had vacated. And the sound guy pressed “play” on a live version of Springsteen’s “Rosalita”….and all hell broke loose.

Brendan (Obviate Media) captured most of the CRAZY dance party and posted it to his tour video blog…watch the whole thing and see if you catch the cameo’s by Stead-Heads Bible Salesman (can’t miss him), Lawyer Chris (can’t miss him either), Hard Corey…oh, and Rob Sheffield and Craig Finn show up in there as well…

Dig it-

The Hold Steady Cover Bryan Adams

Craig Finn shared vocals with former Arab Strap guitarist Malcolm Middleton on ’80s rock radio staple “Run To You” (along with Led Zeppelin’s “Your Time Is Gonna Come” and Malcolm’s own “Kiss At The Station”) in a recent live session on BBC Radio 1. The occasion was a celebratory send-off for DJ Colin Murray…
