The National (Part 2) - High Violet & Tour

[iron yuppie]

Think You Can Wait sounds fantastic live.

 

[IWasBored]

This was actually uploaded by an Interferencer. Yay.

that's EP, right?

They played Exile Vilify, too:

For the first time.

They apparently also previewed a mockumentary about the album and tour during the festival. The mockumentary was the inspiration for the Terrible Love video. It's called Summer Lovin' Torture Party (which was a working title for the album).

Correcto.

They played Santa Clara in Porto and Friend of Mine in Lisbon during the last couple of nights.

YouTube - ‪The National - Santa Clara (@Coliseu do Porto, Portugal - 23/05/2011)‬‏

There was a broadcast of the Lisbon show. You can find a link here if you scroll a bit down (great show!):

Friend Of Mine, such an underrated track.

 

[IWasBored]

Friend Of Mine, such an underrated track.

i like it.

 

[bollox]

Friend Of Mine, such an underrated track.

Yes.

 

[djerdap]

Friend of Mine was one of those that actually got me into The National in the first place. Still one of my favorites from Alligator.

The Lisbon version is pretty rough, but Berninger and Dessner go into this hilarious rant afterwards that more than makes up for it.

OK I've been on a National kick lately and it's not even fall. That's weird.

Two things. If you wanted the red vinyl reissue of Cherry Tree, you can order it on the Brassland site now. They're moving fast, only 175 left. So get on it.

And on a personal note, I broke down and ordered that clear vinyl "Think You Can Wait" b/w "Exile Vilify" split 7 inch. Look out.

 

[Imperor]

Only sixty or so red Cherry Tree EPs left, gang. Sorry to bump the thread with the same information, but I want to make sure any interested party can get his or her mitts on it.

I used to rank Alligator considerably below Boxer, but the former has exponentially grown on me. I really don't know which is the stronger album now; it's really a dead heat. Also, Cherry Tree is one of the best EPs that I have ever heard.

I know. Alligator is stronger!

Alligator 4 lief

No matter how close the two albums may be for me, Fake Empire will always be the tiebreaker. One of my all-time favorite songs, as much as I love their others.

 

[cobl04]

Fame Empire & England is a really good live combo.

 

[Imperor]

The fuck is a fame empire?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

It's what I hope to achieve some day.

 

[No spoken words]

^Lame Empire

 

[PhilsFan]

This is really coming off like a Shame Empire.

 

[LMP]

Can you Blame Empire anybody?

 

[cobl04]

This is the Game Empire.

 

[No spoken words]

It's a rather Tame Empire if you ask me.

 

[LemonMelon]

Coldplay rules the Tame Empire.

EDIT: We're in the Same Empire, NSW.

They should check their lease. It's a Fake Shempire.
