The National - Trouble Will Find Anthony Fantano - Page 21

Thats an awesome setlist, I am full of jealous rage right now.

PhilsFan · 08-02-2013, 11:20 AM

Have they ever opened with Fake Empire before? That usually closes the main set.

Mount Temple · 08-02-2013, 01:04 PM

I saw The National during the "Boxer" era. In that show " Fake Empire" was the closer.

The National played in Vancouver along with Modest Mouse and R.E.M. on one of their last tours. Shame about them breaking up but I see why they did it. R.E.M. has certainly had a prolific career.

The National's new album is high on my list of 2013 faves. I especially like the first track (I Should Live In Salt). Intimate and thoughtful it is.

Glad you enjoyed it, Mofo. I'm seeing them on Monday and would be quite content with the same setlist you just got.

No shit. I'd feel like I got my money's worth if it had been 50 bucks. But 5? Holy fuck.

My box finally arrived! The records sound great and the box is damn cool. I'm pretty pleased with it if I ignore the 2.5 month wait.

gump · 08-05-2013, 05:51 PM

Yeah, I've forgotten the delay already (although it would have been cool if they had sent an extra 7' single to compensate for the wait). I want to frame a couple of those beautiful prints and hang them in my living room.

Imperor · 08-05-2013, 05:59 PM

"Slipped" is my favorite of the art pieces. And yeah a 7" would've been cool. I'm surprised one hasn't been out for "Sea of Love" or something by now. I mean HV had two. They could put that Perfume Genius cover on the b side and there you go. Easy money.

gump · 08-05-2013, 07:10 PM

The Slipped print is cool. I also liked "Fireproof" (the portrait) and "Demons". Maybe now that they are done with the box odyssey they will put out a single...

iron yuppie · 08-05-2013, 09:04 PM

Any minute now. This is the closest I've ever been to the stage for a Nash show.

bono_212 · 08-05-2013, 09:07 PM

Oh, I forgot that was tonight for you. Have a great time!

iron yuppie · 08-06-2013, 12:28 AM

Well, I very nearly lost it during Geese of Beverly Road. This setlist was so good it makes up for The Cure yesterday.

The crowd was great as well, though apparently none of them had heard Alligator before.

u2popmofo · 08-06-2013, 12:29 AM

Oh sheesh, I would have flipped out too! I'm very jealous.

The National doesn't seem interested in improving Alligator awareness. They played like 2 songs from it at Lolla.

djerdap · 08-06-2013, 01:50 AM

I got Geese at my show as well. Congrats.

nielsgov · 08-06-2013, 03:48 AM

That does make me jealous.

All the Wine was good but I thought it would be better live than it was.

I got that one in 2010, and it's probably my favourite song of theirs, but it's not a very good live song. It actually needs three guitars to make the whole guitar interplay work.

nielsgov · 08-06-2013, 04:20 AM

Yeah it sounded a lot less urgent than the album version. The guitars were flatter.

gump · 08-06-2013, 10:59 AM

The Geese of Beverly Road was hilarious a few years ago, when they played it in honor of the geese that were about to be exterminated in Prospect Park.
