Could not agree more! As interesting & driving as Bryan is on the records, even more impressive live. He is mesmerizing to watch. I honestly think he has way more to do with what people like about this band than they realize.

They are excellent live

A lot of bands, possibly even the majority of them, go through a drummer or two, and nobody really notices it since most of them are pretty similar. However, some bands' sound is partly defined by their drummer, and going through a drummer change would have a noticeable effect. The National is one of those bands.

TRUTH

I want to live in his drumming!!

Berninger hitting his mic on his leg between screams, great guitar playing and a kick ass drummer.... The National are just wonderful!

Still gives me goosebumps years later. Love The National!

The greatest band. Matt is an amazing singer, we can see him leaving all the heart and feelings always he sings, and in this video we clearly see it.

HOLY SHIT-- THE END WHEN HE STARTS SCREAMING. I am crying right now. Bless him.

It seemed obvious that he became overwhelmed by the emotion of the song. After it's over you see him quake a bit still feeling it. I think the screaming was an attempt to finish strong and bring some closure to it all. He could barely contain himself though. Then again I'm drunk and it's 2am so who knows

I forget where I heard or read this, but I remember Matt saying that because “Graceless” is a very wordy song, he only screams at the end if he remembers all the lyrics, so that the screaming is a nice little incentive to remember the lyrics. Could have just been his attempt at humor, though!

Now I can see their influence on folklore/evermore sound. So good! I didn't knew them

This song is so powerful, never fails at giving me the chills.

Saw this on SNL. Came back for the screaming part at the end!

One of the best bands out there, no question. Amazing.

I love how he turns the mic towards the audience after he’s done. It’s like he’s saying, “what do you have to say to that?”

I have been searching for this band for about 5 months.. totally worth it!!

4:07 Too much Berninger for the camera to handle.

Such a great band. So real and so true.

Never seen this band but this performance made me a believer!

I was flipping through the channels the night this aired and just happened to catch it live. It was mesmerizing. Had never heard of the band before that night - I don't get out much. I was hooked instantly.

AMAZING!!!

Flawless band, as always.

I love the growling, The National should do that more often, it's so Nirvana shiiii.t but it so contagious. and it contrast so good from the low acoustics from the desperate shouts. That's why I love The National since the beginning

This song makes me weep 😢 it’s so . . . sensual, I know, odd word to use, and then the way Matt ends it, love it 🙌🏼

this stuff is the real stuff love it

just brilliant. always on thieir game.... just such a great band

I'm always so happy to see you guys getting recognition. You deserve it

Awesome song, awesome band...well done boys!

Wow, the last 30 seconds RULE!

Amazing song...

The most underrated band on earth, they sing the truth, he's singing from God.

Matt is glorious. That was amazing.

watching this in 2024!

This is my new favourite thing.

I'm a pro drummer. Personally whoever this dude is? My personal top 15 ever. Nothing necessarily difficult. Just absolutely brilliant this entire album. I put it in the Paul Cook category on bullocks. Every beat was perfection to each song. I cannot do that through one tune! Sort of like, of course Malmsteen could outplay Page. Who ya rather listen to?

I would like to see this re-cut to use the footage of Matt screaming into the microphone, rather than what was shown live with Aaron and Bryce fearing for their lives while they try to play through the end of the song.

Too bad something like this doesn't get a lot of views.

Everything about this video is cool. Esp the beginning!

Walter White has a surprisingly lovely voice

That last time I saw a band truly amazing, inspirational, and rock on SNL in years. Not some usual blasae hybrid of Mumford & Sons or Coldplay...

Singer is William Hurt's doppelganger

Their drummer is another brother - Brian Devendorf!! Awesome, indeed.
