You’re not the only one. I was looking forward to an interesting conversation with the four of them, specially after the intro where they seemed to be in sync with each others energy, but I feel like it went off the rails a little. I don’t think he was full of himself, but I do think he rambled a bit too much with little room for even Conan to come through, let alone Matt or Sona. I loved that he was clearly a fan but I’m learning that there is a certain temperament to being a podcast guest and he missed the mark on this one. Such a shame.

Bloodbuzz is also my go-to. It’s very The National without scaring anyone away haha.

Please do a sad dad soliloquy for each album, thanks.

Same!

Truly iconic. What amazing experiences, both of them. Chills just looking at these pics.

For me, it’s the way he says “I don’t care”. I’ve seen them on tour 3 times this year and i could hear his voice break every time. So much emotion, everytime. I’m always blown away by the performance.

His “fingernail polish” move with his arm extended, fingers splayed out 💅. So adorable and dainty.

It’d be so alone.

I haven’t listened to anything other than The National in months. It’s too much and a little problematic, really.

They played it in New Haven a couple of weeks back too - it was sick.

Fuck me, best song on the album. Destroys me every time.

What The National song did you spin to??? I love them so much but sometimes struggle to make a playlist to run to.

This fucking song.. this whole album actually… destroys me (as promised).

I’ll Still Destroy You is an epic-level song.

“Put your heels against the wall, I swear you got a little bit taller since I saw you.” — my favorite The National lyric ever. Gets me every time.

That’s beautiful.

Such a great album. Agreed - it doesn’t get much airtime on this sub. Totally underrated.

The National were scheduled to play right before Billie Eilish. Her fans were right up front by the rails . There are photos of The National performing an amazing setlist (and giving it their all!!!) to rows and rows of bored-looking people standing around on their phones and and chatting. I was at the New Haven show the day before and the vibe was absolutely electric. We were all thrilled to be there and hanging on their every move! For the band, I can’t imagine going from that to apathy in their audience.

Oh god please I hope not. I’m sure Taylor is great, but the sad middle aged demo of TN concert goers can’t handle Taylor’s fandom unleashed on us. Look at what happened at Osheaga. I will be shuffling towards MSG next week and would LOVE for Michael Stipe to show up, but god no Taylor please.

It’s uncanny how I’ve had the exact same experience. I always find myself in the left! I’m not complaining, I’ve thoroughly enjoying looking up at him shred his guitars. My favorite Bryce moment is him slamming a guitar on the ground for the sick reverb in I Need My Girl. Goosebumps everytime.

TEAM BRYCE!

Dang it. I purchased today via the venue website but hearing horror stories about the vendor they used. We can’t seem to win!

Hi! Did you buy from Ticketmaster or the westville website?

This was a gift from the music gods. And that’s from someone who didn’t get to see them in Chicago. For the lucky who did - I hope you felt the power of what you was happening.

As a fan who has been complaining about a repetitive setlist, I feel so heard. I’m scouring the internet like a rabid dog looking for clips and videos from this residency. God I love this band so much. Great job all around! I’m excited for the remainder of this tour.

Absolutely. Love Country Feedback. Still would love a NTL cover of E-bow though.
