I already had tickets for Wednesday by this point so didn't feel bad about doing it. Not sure which I'm more excited for: LCD tomorrow or National on Wednesday.

When Jokers Attack Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Geese was beautiful. Must have played it because I asked them on twitter. Wish I was going to see them again tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt they'll play Geese again but anything else off Alligator would be great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Pink Rabbits, Slow Show, Lit Up, All the Wine and Apartment Story are probs the 5 I want most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd recommend getting in the thick of it, the Apollo seems tailor made for Matt and the Nationals, I have a great feeling about these gigs. I've tried my best to keep my mind off of these LCD shows, but curiosity has gotten the better of me. Times like these I wish I had a baller salary.

Amy Lawn Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 The only real wants I have are Slow Show and Mistaken For Strangers, purely because they didn't play them at Latitude last year. Can't wait for tomorrow night. Listened to SWB twice today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Sea of Love is also one of my favourites and I've just found this while surfing, thought I'd share http://songexploder.net/the-national Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibble Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Ignoring the songs they'll definitely play, the five I'd love to hear: All the Wine, England, Secret Meeting, Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks and Slow Show. It's also already gotten to the point where Guilty Party is probably in my top 3 National songs. Just absurdly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingcrawler Posted September 21, 2017 Report Share Posted September 21, 2017 Well that was fantastic. Based on Dublin and Edinburgh it seems like the first night is more older tracks and the second the big hitters from the recent albums. I was happy with that set tonight, would have preferred a couple more from Alligator and especially Boxer but hard to be overly fussy when they have so many great songs. Was great to finally hear Wasp Nest live though, that, Bloodbuzz and Nobody Else Will Be There were my highlights. I also loved how buzzing Aaron was during his solo on The System, he just seemed so proud of himself and was having the time of his life.

Fred Zepplin Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Loving the new album and guilty party is becoming my favourite ever national song, Matts voice on it sounds beautiful. I know a lot of people don't like turtleneck but my let down song on the album is I'll still destroy you. The song seems all over the place and the sounds in the background don't work for me, it sounds like a ringtone. Going to see them Monday hoping for All the wine, Karen and lit up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted2noise Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 (edited) Yeah great gig last night, was hoping for a Start a War when they whipped out the acoustic for the encore but Fake Empire, Conversation 16 and Pink Rabbits were all brilliant.

Amy Lawn Posted September 22, 2017 Report Share Posted September 22, 2017 Apollo tonight, Doors 7, Luluc 8-8:30, The National 9-10:45. Really just posting this for an excuse to say that when I went on the Apollo's fb page to check this, I saw that Bowling For Soup are playing there in Feb, and I howled with laughter at the sight of what the Girl All The Bad Guys Want hitmakers look like in 2017. Outstanding stuff. Sea Of Love last night, would love to get that tonight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
