The National (Part 2) - High Violet & Tour

[PhilsFan]

YouTube - The National live in Philly 06-05-10 "Abel"

You really can't see me at all (I appear for half a second at 2:50 right behind Matt with my arm up), but I was literally feet away from the camera guy, and consequently, Matt.

What a performance, though.

 

[cobl04]

bobblehead joe just to the right there behind the camera at the start is bloody enjoying himself.

that looks awesome

 

[PhilsFan]

The dude in the striped shirt who appears to be humping Matt is the guy who requested Available. He did a lot of jumping that show. He also attempted to crowd surf (during Lemonworld, of all songs) and kicked a guy in the face, which caused that guy to yank him back to the ground and curse him out.

I want to see them live.

 

[No spoken words]

I want to see them live.

You should want to.

 

[nielsgov]

You should want to.

I sucks to be 15 and not to be able to go to ever concert you want to.

I didn't see my first concert until I was 16.

 

[LemonMelon]

To this whole page. Nice to see that Other Bastard had some luck, for both his sake and the band; Berninger dances awkwardly enough without literally breaking a leg.

My live request? Lit Up. Never gets talked about much, even though it was a single, but it would slay live.

 

[Lancemc]

Lit Up's first verse is one of my favorite things the band has written.

 

[gump]

Lit Up rocks live, good call! I'm hoping they keep available in the setlist until their show here next week.

 

[PhilsFan]

It took all of one show to beat the set from the show I was at. I really wanted About Today.

Still, I had a great setlist. Nothing to complain about.

 

[u2popmofo]

This is one of my favorite lines from the album:

Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls gave us black dreams

One more sleep


I really want to hear Daughters of the Soho Riots. Probably not a popular choice

 

[Jive Turkey]

I didn't see my first concert until I was 16.

Who did you see? My first show was Depeche Mode when I was 14. It was awesome

U2. Joshua Tree Tour. Unfuckingreal experience.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Lucky bastard

 

[cobl04]

Fifth row, balcony. Not great but I was sooo late in getting these tix and I had to buy 3 together so I'm pretty happy that I'm on the house at all!

Can't wait! Who's the opening act?

 

[Jive Turkey]

ummmm, Antlers I think?

 

[Jive Turkey]

setlist spoilers in no particular order. Also, I avoided setlists before the show, so I had no idea what to expect:
