Jackal
I'm not retarded I'm Canadian it's different
I have no idea why we dont have one considering how excellent they are to talk about / make everyone else jealous.
So I saw The National and The Antlers last night and it was... amazing. If you ever get the chance to go see The National do not hesitate. Matt Berninger literally went into the crowd and tried to climb up into the balcony, more than once. His whispers are haunting and his screams are spine chilling live. Squalor Victoria is an average song on Boxer but live it literally blows the roof off the place, mostly due to him as well as the incessant and beautiful percussion. Not to mention he consistently takes shots out of his red dixie cup between songs and passed out his twosix for the crowd to take swags from. And the climax of the show, Mr. November... words cannot describe. It was one of the best live songs I have ever experienced, the pure, raw emotion. I felt like he was going into cardiac arrest as he shouted "I won't fuck us over, I'm Mr. November".
Anyways I am rambling, here was the setlist:
Toronto, Massey Hall
June 9, 2010
1. Start a War
2. Brainy
3. Anyone's Ghost
4. Bloodbuzz Ohio
5. Mistaken for Strangers
6. Baby We'll Be Fine
7. Slow Show
8. Squalor Victoria
9. Afraid of Everyone
10. Little Faith
11. Available
12. Conversation 16
13. Apartment Story
14. Geese of Beverley Road
15. Abel
16. Vanderlyle Crybaby
17. England
18. Fake Empire
Encore:
19. Karen
20. Sorrow
21. Mr November
22. Terrible Love
23. Runaway
Could not ask for anything more (ok, maybe 'Secret Meeting', but seriously this was unreal).
So yeah basically use this thread to discuss any shows you just saw, or even recap experiences from shows you went to years ago! Also if you can post setlists those are always cool to see.
