Excited to see them later in the summer! I currently enjoy how Matt gets progressively drunker during the show. I may at some point tire of that.

This premiered on Prime last week:
On April 22, 2019, we took the stage at NYC’s famed Beacon Theatre for “A Special Evening With The National,” one of a series of five unique sold-out events in Paris, London, New York, Toronto and Los Angeles where we performed songs from our new album and Mike Mills-directed short film I Am Easy To Find starring Alicia Vikander.
Now we are thrilled to announce the release of 'The National: I Am Easy To Find, Live From New York’s Beacon Theatre' via Amazon Prime Video and 'The National: Live From New York’s Beacon Theatre (#AmazonOriginal) EP' via Amazon Music. Both the film and digital EP will be available this Friday, August 23rd.
This concert documentary directed by La Blogothθque includes a complete performance of the album, special only to the Beacon show, with guest appearances from the Brooklyn Youth Chorus, Julien Baker, Kate Stables of This Is The Kit and mina tindle.

Worth noting... Matt Berninger's solo album, Serpentine Prison, came out last week.
I am bummed I won't be able to see a solo show where he gets loaded.
