The National - First Two Pages... & Laugh Track Album • Page 9

I don’t think England sucks at all, but i do think it’s overrated. Like, given the choice between it and a lot of the other songs they play in the latter half of the set, I’d be fine with them leaving it out for another one.

 

Yep. England is a fine song, it's just kind of a dud compared to the rest of the National pantheon songs and imo it's a shame it has been such a mainstay in their setlists. But in general, I think they'd be a much more interesting live band if they switched up the setlists night to night or even tour to tour a lot more than they do.

 

England rules wtf

 

England the song rules. England the country isn’t real.

Makes me wish I would have signed up for Cherry Tree before this year. Would kill to hear that show.

 

My favourite voice ever since the early Damien Rice days.

 

Watching them live right now, it’s been 9 years and they still rip

 

new songs sounded very good

 

Fuck wish I’d checked this thread haha I was there too!

 

We were wayyyy up close



Tropic Morning News sounds like it has the potential to be one of the very best National songs

 

Haha I was wondering if you’d go!! You were way close than I was I was up in the stands behind the sound board so it sounded absolutely perfect

 

So that venue is totally soulless and I hate going so far out in the damn county lol...BUT holy shit I was absolutely blown away by how good the sound was that close to the stage. I was expecting to sacrifice sound for being close but the mix was still perfect. Obviously their touring foh and boh sound ppl are incredible but I was reasonably impressed with the venues setup too

 

All the stuff I’ve seen from the show looks amazing, it kills me that my mental health kept me from going ultimately but the tickets went to a good home. Crazy how good that view was, that money was well spent.

 

thanks so much for letting me go I couldn’t have afforded to without your help and I know we’ll link up again at a show whenever you’re ready, no rush though because yeah it was pretty crowded up in those seats

 

they need to install some fucking giant fans like the muny has. it was considerably cooler than it was at coheed last month and I was still sweating bad

 

It’s no problem at all, homie, I’m just glad you had a good time. Was the show sold out? A lot of the pics I saw had the place packed.

 

Not that I know of but if tickets were available at the door it probably did end up selling out because yeah it was completely full

 

There were so many shows in town last night, that never happens out here often. Kinda low key wish I got to see Post Malone fall live at Enterprise while lip syncing Circles.

 

I could hear ski mask the slump god opening for suicide boys as I was walking in lmao

 

I was so tempted to try to go over there at least for maxo kream/code orange haha

 

This weekend is absolutely stacked tho, I did Jimmy eat world fri, the national last night, currently waiting for pearl jam to start and thinking about built to spill tomorrow night lol

 

I do wonder how all the kids who went to the SuicideBoys show reacted to Knocked Loose.

 

Saw them tonight and it ruled. New songs sound good.

Also I'm bummed I missed out on all the arguing in the beginning of the thread. Some of you have bad opinions.
