The National - Sleep Well Beast (September 8, 2017) Album • Page 61

Just heard that on the radio yesterday. Guess that's their next single!

 

that song has been played non stop on xmu for months

 

I wish they'd play anything else from the album at this point

 

I think they played Carin a few times tho

 

i've been playing XMU a lot because i carpool and i don't want to put anything...too weird on. it's interesting the songs that get nonstop airplay on there, seems to differ from the general hyped indie scene which has been fascinating to look at. i think i've heard like three arcade fire songs 100 times at this point, as well as that new pornographers song a billion times as well

 

I don't have Sirius, just local radio station, which is usually way behind on that

 

yeah, nothing I want to hear on the interstate more than someone singing "the day I die..the day I die...where will we be?"

 

Do they have an opener on this tour ? There isn’t one listed on the event site for
The Hamilton show this weekend.

 

i am the kit is doing a bunch of the shows right now

omg i am seeing them tonight with @Deathco_019 !!!!!!!!!!!

 

TONIGHT

 

its a TWFM kind of morning. its fucking crazy that, and i know this is a Bad Take, TWFM is probably my least favorite of the last 5 albums and yet its still like a 9/10 wonderful album like thats a special kind of magic right there

 

i was already going to night 1 of their Chicago shows and just decided fuck it and got tickets to night 2 as well.

 

Last night was one of thest shows I've ever been to. They played About Today and I damn near cried

 

The National rolling in at 3rd in most listened to list

 

amazing show last night

thought the setlist was good, not great, but they switch it around so much and their discography is so expansive that any given show could have two to three songs switched around that are your favorites or lesser so

 

I'm predicting that you and I have the same top song.

 

Aaah, seeing them for the 4th time tonight!

 

They were great last night. Probably the least I’ve been emotionally engaged with their live show but they were still incredible. It was great to see nearly the whole album (10/12), but such a shame there was no Squalor Victoria, their best live track imo. I had chills when they played Guilty Party, but Day I Die was probably the best live track from the new album. Terrible Love blew the place up, easily the set highlight.

 

They were in Toronto last night? What the hell

 

And in Hamilton tonight

 

I made the trek up for this one. It was amazing and I had ridiculous seats and the venue was super nice (have you been?). I am very jealous of you getting I Should Live in Salt but at the same time I'm glad they mix it up so much cus I got a bunch of stuff they didn't play when I saw them in Pittsburgh earlier in the tour.

 

I haven't been to the venue! I originally had tickets for the Hamilton show but then ended up getting Toronto tickets (way easier to do since I live in Toronto). The Hamilton setlist is great too, so good that I wish I had been in the position to go to both shows. Would have loved to see Squalor Victoria and Apartment Story. Some of my favorites from the Toronto show weren't on the Hamilton show (Dark Side of the Gym, Slow Show, I Should Live in Salt, Vanderlyle).

I forgot to mention it in my original post, but my seats for the Toronto show were so close that I actually just got to stand right at the stage the whole show. None of these are zoomed. Last pic is from when they closed with Vanderlyle. Matt was like right in front of my for the whole last half of the song. The more I think about the show, the most I appreciate it. They're one band I'll never miss when they come through.

 

seeing these guys tuesday and wednesday this week. Can't wait - it's been since like 2014!

 

That rules. I was in the same situation, standing right up at the stage. Such a cool experience

 

has there been openers for this?
