Still can't believe they are on the line up!!! Moving through the albums again in prep of glasto, I've Started on Alligator, now onto Boxer. The outcome is that I have a collection of songs that I want them to play (from these 2 albums), which is fairly different to my wish list 12 months ago - such is the strength of their work. As per latest soundings, from these two I want them to play: Daughters of the Soho Riots All the Wine The Geese of Beverley Road Mr November (of course) Brainy Squalor Victoria Slow Show Guest Room (my favourite National song) Gospel I'll surely add to this list after listening again to HV & TWFM... Glad to see someone else mention Geese, my favourite National song. We probably won't get it at Glastonbury, though I've seen them play it once.

Sadly there are just live versions and the quality isn't great, but it's better than nothing for me.

OddRon Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Everytime this thread comes back to the front page I get excited and think it's a uk tour or album announcement or that we finally know where they're playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Finn Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Mr November has this week entered the list of my favourite songs ever. Can't claim to have been the biggest National fan before they were announced, but they are now unmissable for me. Possible setlist does worry me though, based on recent shows.

Imagine my glee when I grabbed the album the next day and discovered my now-favourite use of the f word in a song ever immediately follows it.

TiZuff Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 So it happened. Thst moment you connect with a band and you get them. Afraid of everyone was the song that did it followed by I need my girl . Now I'm in love wiit h pretty much everything. little bit worried about pre-foos crowd killing the atmosphere in the quieter bits. But fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calamitymaud Posted May 6, 2017 Report Share Posted May 6, 2017 Just realised that The National at Glastonbury is quite literally sad songs for dirty lovers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
