One of the greatest live shows i've ever seen came from a small room in Philadelphia by a band who's sound is bigger than the whole city. The Hold Steady didn't become rock stars, or even put their band together until most members were in their 30's, but when they take the stage their stamina and prowess exceeds what most 20 something's can pull off. This is all celebrated in the new DVD but out by the quintet called A Positive Rage, which also includes a bonus disc with a couple b-sides and 2 new songs. Guess what we're about to play? Thanks to the website Kill Rock Music for grabbing this one early.
