They did it in Belgium as a late 10th anniversary celebration and to help make the show more special in apology for moving it to do something with Obama. They're doing it at Homecoming one night out of two, that were billed as unique sets before going on sale. They're the only ones (although I wouldn't be surprised if they did it one night in Dublin where they also have two consecutive nights).

the wonderwhy Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Yeah they won't do it at APE where there's completely no reason to do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Thought Sleep Well Beast was the best album any artist released last year? You probably belong to the fan club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingcrawler Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Been reading into this and I'm struggling to see the point of paying $65 to then pay another $40 for an exclusive t-shirt and presale codes when they've already announced their only UK gig for 2018. I see they've announced another one of their own festivals in New York too, looking forward to them just becoming festival bookers during album breaks now.

Superunknown Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 Shot in the dark but anyone have any idea who the remaining supports may be for the second Dublin gig in June? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah true but it probably will be more than a t-shirt shop when it gets going. Or I'd hope so for the sake of the fans' goodwill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a little steep, although yearly exclusive vinyl is appealing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Music Girl Posted April 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Fucking hell! Got an email about this earlier and didn't realise you had to pay for it. What a swizz. Sleep Well Beast ain't that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkic Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 The played The Boxer in full last night. The Geese of Beverly Road got a run out for the first time in 2018 as well, which pleases me a lot as it's in my APE wish list. New song Light Years was also played.

kingcrawler Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 I noticed they’re doing two hours at Best Kept Secret, I wonder if they’ll get the same at APE since it’s pretty much their gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuna Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 15 minutes ago, Funkyfairy! said: Why Tuna ? Why do you feel like that ? :-( Lots of reasons FF! Mostly just that I think it's a total ripoff, labels completely taking the picks with "exclusivity" and pricing -- no idea why someone would want a blue 7" for £14 or whatever. Completely lends itself to touts and things too; many many things go instantly and get thrown up online. Sure, you're totally within your right to do it - but that's got nowt to do with RSD. You're not supporting your local record store by buying of some swift geezer on eBay. And the whole "a record store is for life, not just for RSD" etc etc. Here's a great article written by a record store owner: http://thequietus.com/articles/19946-record-store-day-2016-shops-bad-reissues-bleugh The idea of going to a record shop and seeing a few bands and having a chat and a beer is great -- but it's not what it's about these days, imo.

fightoffyour Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 Homecoming was so good. 2 sets over 2 nights without repeating a single song. The new song was amazing. What a weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted April 30, 2018 Report Share Posted April 30, 2018 They could just do the Hammersmith Wednesday set again and I'd be more than happy https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/the-national/2017/eventim-apollo-london-england-3e2451b.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a lot of us complain when bands don't mix up their setlists, but when they do and you miss a perfect setlist like this (for your tastes) by one day, and get a completely average setlist, it's way more annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squalor Victoria would have been nice but I don't get the Abel love at all. Average National song for me. Apartment Story and Daughters of the Soho Riots probably the ones I'm most jealous of from the night before. Pink Rabbits, Slow Show and All the Wine would probably be my top 3 picks for a National setlist, and Conversation 16 would also be up there, all of which were played the night after I went.

strummer77 Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I have two tickets to The National on Saturday if anyone is interested. Face value £65 each I think but an efester can have them for about £50 each as we can't attend now if anyone's interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted May 30, 2018 Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I am fucking pumped for Saturday, more than I was for the Stones last week. Five tunes I most want to hear (excluding the obvious ones and SWB which I assume will be well represented): Pink Rabbits Green Gloves Graceless Apartment Story Lit Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
