The National - Studio @ Webster Hall
Since I introduced him to the band (and the fact that his wife was conveniently out of town), my pal Kyle took me along to see The National tonight after he scored tickets to their secret 300-person show at Webster Hall. It was in the tiny studio space below Webster — which was smaller than both The Chameleon (for you Lancaster folk) and The Haunt (for you Ithaca folk).
The show was, as one can guess, increíble. It was being taped for MTV Live, so I’m assuming parts of it will be on there or online at some point in the future. Keep an eye out for the finale when Mr. Berniger comes into the crowd and we hold him up in the air at the back of the club.
Not sure if I can ever see them in concert again — I’m afraid it would just be a let-down.
(Update: you can see more photos and a setlist over at Brooklyn Vegan.)
