The National

Oh man! I am still on such a high from this! Words can’t describe the feeling of union amongst us singing together and with the band. And Hannah Georgas!!! Such a beautiful surprise. 💚💚

I have to admit that their previous show at the Schnitzer was much better sonically, and I favored the set list of that show as well. That said, The National never disappoint! Hey Rosey with the heavy grand piano was intense! This was my fourth National show, and I will never miss one.

The circumstances behind the very cumbersome way the venue handled the dozen or so of us that were there hours early to get up on the rail, as well as the weather evacuation and subsequent reentry into the event, the show was absolutely phenomenal.

The National were great. My first time seeing them live and it was better than my expectations. Having Hannah up there with them gave the performance an added bonus. The concert facility and set up left a lot to be desired. It was actually one of the poorest organized events that I have been to unfortunately. From the layout of the grounds, to where they put the food trucks (in the narrow walkway to the washrooms), to the small funnelled entrance and exit. They did not have enough food trucks (or the trucks couldn't process people fast enough). It was nice that there was no lineup for drinks... oh wait.... beer was $13.... that's why there was no line up. Easy summary, too many people for such few facilities they way it was set up.

Great to hear so much of the new album really loving it. Could of played four more hours of older songs and I would of been like I really wished they played Dolled Up In Straps

The National were absolutely amazing as always but OMG the lines to get in were terrible. One working ticket scanner at the gates for a sold out show...I got there early and it took me 45 min to get in. I know that some people were in line for almost 2 hours.
