The Geese Of Beverly Road
Went to see The National play at Richard's last night.
The Fall Collection opened the show. The pop/rock/electro quartet features former MGB drummer Ian Browne in it. They played a brief set with some catchy numbers. I was mostly watching Ian's drumming as I haven't seen him play since he was counting beats for Alarm Bell ---> now converted back to Limblifter.
Took it easy on this night and decided to gain a different perspective watching the show in the balcony of the venue. For The National, I found a really sweet spot that had a clear and solid view of the stage. It was close enough so I didn't feel distanced from the energy of the band, and it also allowed me to lean against something and relax during the performance.
The six piece from Brooklyn opened their set with Secret Meeting, followed by Lit Up. Singer Matt Berninger sings with such emotion, and intensity. He also likes to sing while hunched over a bit and standing on his toes....it's quite a site to see.
Wow...the sound of the violin in their songs made it for me. The Geese Of Beverly Road rocked my socks! All The Wine and Mr. November were highlights too. The last song of the main set was awesome and featured the two guitarists Scott and Bryce coming to the edge of the stage and rocking out hard. Scott then grabbed some drum sticks and joined the drummer...before coming back to the front and switching up guitars with Bryce to finish off the song.
Set time was 1hr 25mins. This turned out to be surprisingly one of my favourite shows so far this year.
