The Hold Steady returned to Brooklyn Bowl for their annual four-night run of Massive Nights shows, featuring a different set of openers each night as well as a career-spanning set.
It’s become something of a holiday season tradition in the city, one that I have tried to make each year whenever possible. The Hold Steady have been a reliable live force for a long while, they performed all of their greatest hits, as well as songs from their strong 2023 album, The Price of Progress.
I caught their performance on Friday, December 1st. Find a photo gallery of shots posted below.
