Ticket
The Roadhouse
15th May 2005

This was not long after Alligator's release. It was an incredible, intense gig - Matt Berninger became more and more frenzied as it progressed, clambering over anything that would support him, and by the end he was virtually hanging by his arm from the beams. Only downside was it was one of those packed Roadhouse gigs in the days before the smoking ban where you'd wake up the following day completely kippered, with a passive smoking hangover.
