The best Gaslight Anthem show I’ve found on Youtube

I’ve seen them 15+ times live and watched every HD show on YouTube more times than I can count. This one from New York 2012 (only uploaded in full last year) is without doubt the best though:

In part because of how they fit a cover of Bon Iver’s Bloodbank into Angry Johnny and the Radio here: 

You said, "Ain't this just like the present
To be showing up like this?"
As a moon waned to crescent
We started to kiss, we started to kiss

[Transition back into Angry Johnny and the Radio] 

And I always have remembered, in case you're wonderin'
84 takes a lifetime but Bobby does it better
I still sing 'em ragged for you and Maria
I don't drive nowhere without the radio on
We always loved the sad, sad songs
