grayfitz Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I loved it - the new songs sounded great from the front area Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was near the front so everyone was well into it but not sure how that went down with the rest of the crowd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavisO89 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Similar experience to Beck last year for me. Was close to the front but had a bunch of idiots stood next to me who kept shouting and talking with no interest. I don't think the set list helped either. Ah well. Looking forward to their London shows later this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzwodezwo Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 What was Matt doing when he cut off Bryce? I'm a bit worried about the future of this band, he really needs to step it down a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anarion Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 As someone who thinks The National is the best band in the world, that was quite dissappointing. Such a short set and so many new songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futurism Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I loved it, stood near the rear of the sound desk and it sounded great to me. Matt was stunning to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjsh Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Casual fan of theirs and I really enjoyed it. Sounded class on the box. Crowd looked really tiny though which was a shame and a bit of a surprise. Didn't think it would be huge but surely bigger than that.

Anderson19 Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Sounded good new songs sounded great but a pyramid sub slot absolutely not - and that's from a massive national fan. Dissapointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why they were booked as sub headliners as they're clearly not popular enough in the UK for that slot just yet, though I'm sure it'll happen. At least the crowd that was there looked quite into it, which I'd prefer to a larger crowd of Foo Fighters fans stood there looking bored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Matt was saying how he Bryce is always on the screen cause he's better looking or something? Are there other rumours that they're not getting on well or something?

kingcrawler Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I thought it was good but not up to their usual high standards, though that was down to a mix of so many new songs in a row and the crowd near me. The crowd was strange, on the left of me everyone was loving it but the right was only interested in hitting the big beach balls. I'm glad they're touring soon though so i can see them at their best again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownboundTrain52 Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Crowd may not have been massive but into it towards the back too. Absolutely stunning performance, even with new material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregcharlie Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Was always going to leave early to see all of Solange but when they came out and blasted out Sea of Love, Fake Empire then the new'un there was a part of me that was thinking, is this going to be too good to leave? then they went on and played more new songs which lost them a lot of momentum I thought, they could've just kept going playing through all the big numbers but I've just seen the short setlist now. Anyone think the amount of new songs could've been a massive 'why did you put us in this slot?' thing. And I get obv they wouldn't slam their own exposure, in fact Matt seemed to be loving the fact they'd made it onto the Pyramid, so it all seems a bit weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

addicted2noise Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 (edited) Is it just me or did a lot of songs sound a bit rushed like they were trying to fit them all in. Maybe it was just nerves. Edited June 25, 2017 by addicted2noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
