The National @ the Wiltern, 08.29.09





Raw and unwound from the opening bars of "Runaway". Halfway through "Mr. November" and Matt Berninger's clawing his way to the middle of the art deco theater. A lone light searches. Camera phones float in the dark. The brothers Dessner come unglued at the strings in front of him. Behind him. Twisting through the crowd hitting every word on the way. Standing above the crowd. Screaming. Reeling.

"I won't fuck us over. I'm Mr. November."

SETLIST:
"Runaway" (new)
"Start a War"
"Mistaken for Strangers"
"Brainy"
"Secret Meeting"
"Baby, We'll Be Fine"
"Slow Show"
"Vanderlylle Cry Baby" (new)
"Squalor Victoria"
"Abel"
"All the Wine"
"Available"
"Ada"
"Apartment Story"
"Blood Buzz Ohio" (new)
"Fake Empire"

*****

"Green Gloves"
"Mr. November"
"About Today"

  2. amazing show! cant believe the antics on mr. november. my boyfriend and i helped matt climb on the wall in the crowd, after that much wine, his acrobatics were pretty impressive.

  3. Though i wish they had played "Lit Up" and "Friend of Mine", it really was a fantastic show. Matt is going to have people talking about that performance of Mr. November for quite a while.

  4. I hear you on "Lit Up". I could have used some "Cherry Tree" myself, but you really can't argue with a band that brings it like the National. An amazing, amazing show. - NF
