I saw them last night in Manchester .Been gig going for 50 years and seen well over 1000 gigs (1500 plus bands) . They were on fire and a brilliant near two hour set. Honestly believe even better than this superb performance. The National are now easily mu current No 1 band , and are in my all time top 10. . Along with the Beatles, Wall of Voodoo, Dead Can Dance, Velvet Underground, Fleetwood Mac, Joy Division, ,Low, REM , Led Zeppelin

listened to tropic morning news for about 30 times in a row. still could hear it for another 50 times ...... brilliant again for those who get touched by their music ...

For me, the national is the best band ever. all the songs can be enjoyed. His music performances are always amazing. If anyone asks, the fun part is staying silent in life, I won't hesitate to answer watching the National concert, even if it's from KZread. maybe I love the National the most in Indonesia. and lastly, the song about today closed this concert well. very calming

I have been listening to music since the late 50's , and have seen well over 1000 gigs (2000 bands with supports) . The National are one of the greatest bands of any era . But there are many great contemporary artists eg LP, Low , London Grammar, Wolf Alice etc.

Played for nearly Two hours and just killer track after killer track. Matt was absolutely fired up eg see the tracks uploaded onto YT = National Manchester Mayfield, August 27 "the system only dreams in total darkness" They played two new tracks. Both excellent. But much more muscular loud and rocky than the last album. Which one detractor has called "too sugary" . But I like sugar personally.!

Que grandes que sos The National ❤️

I first saw The National in 2011, and a half dozen times since. Always brilliant and Matt's commitment to dragging the wired Mike through the audience and sucking down bottles of wine is always thrilling.

Saw the last week. Dude is great up front, still powerful. He gets it.

What a cool choice to have I Need My Girl followed by This Is The Last Time and then Slow Show. Gotta love subtle genius like that when putting together a set list.

How was the show? Last time I saw them in the Twin Cities was at the Excel Energy Center. However, they previously played two nights at First Ave for High Violet and that was 10x better!

Wonderful. And the set list has much from "Trouble will find me" which is my favourite, partly for its interesting time signatures -lots of 7/4 and some 9/4, and yet a really powerful and accessible rock album.

Saw them last night at the Depot , Manchester . Was just a few feet away from the stage . No moat ! One of the greatest performances I have ever seen in 50 years of gig going. The band were fantastic and Matt was on fire. Not a poor track in the whole set. Fabulous. Amazingly they only played one track from the brilliant last album = light years. Sadly no Mina Tindle on stage. But you know as much as I wanted to hear Oblivions etc. It didn't really matter. Pink Rabbits , "the system only" etc etc were just magnificent. ps Support band Dry Cleaning were very good , as were first band Mewn. Although they only played 3 tracks.
