The National

Oh man - those loopy fans are the worst. Nick Cave did an interesting show here which was Q&A mixed in with a few simple tracks on the piano. Apparently the Q&A was full of self-important hard core fans trying to out-fan each other and quoting Nick Cave quotes back to him from 10-15 years earlier.

The best part was he apparently just shut them all down, saying 'I don't remember that' and quickly moving on.... hilarious

yep, was there, can confirm

and yes, it was the red hand files show in january (?) this year in melbourne
 
Man, I would love to go to a show of nothing but deep cuts. But I'm weird that way. I've seen Depeche Mode more than any other band in my life but I just can't do it anymore. There's a point where I'm tired of hearing the hits over and over. I want the deep cuts. I want Lie To Me off Some Great Reward. I want Blue Dress off Violator. I want Love Thieves off Ultra. I wish they would do a small venue show where that's all they do. I'd love the same for The National. This wedged in show at Stubbs in Austin where they were doing 2 shows at ACL Fest last fall is about as close to perfect as I can think. There's some hits there but there's a lot of stuff they only do sporadically. Check out this setlist:

  1. Start a War
  2. Sorrow
  3. I Should Live in Salt
  4. Brainy
  5. Sea of Love
  6. Apartment Story
  7. This Is the Last Time
  8. Secret Meeting
  9. Wasp Nest
  10. Green Gloves
  11. Lemonworld
  12. Turtleneck
  13. The Geese of Beverly Road
  14. Hard to Find
  15. Pink Rabbits
  16. Rylan
  17. About Today
  18. Encore:
  19. Light Years
  20. England
  21. Graceless
  22. Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks
 
I got my Atlanta Cherry Tree poster today! Looks amazing. I do have one question though: were these supposed to be numbered? Cause mine is not. That's fine. I'm just wondering.

Totally just picked up that Rylan shirt.

Side note: what’s annoying about ordering from the store is like half the time, my bank thinks someone has stolen my card and I have to call and go through this whole thing. Just went through this.

Sounds like a nice candidate for this year's Cherry Tree LP

I'm hoping Cherry Tree version 2 is an Alligator or Sad Songs For Dirty Lovers live edition.

My guess is that they'll continue to be similar to Vol 1 - just assorted live songs, maybe with a focus around a certain album or time period. When they had the youth chorus at the Beacon it occurred to me that they may earmark one of those songs for a future CT volume, but I agree with @bdm105 that if Amazon paid them for an exclusive they'll want it to be exclusive.
