Day 12: “Live Music is Better, bumper stickers should be issued”
Play a live album.
The National - Juicy Sonic Magic
View attachment 83483
Outside of the Dave Matthews Band (which I’ve seen live over a dozen times) The National are probably the band I have seen the most live ( Twice at Pitchfork Music Festival in 2006 and 2009 respectively, once opening for Arcade Fire at the UIC Pavilion in 2011, and twice as headliners. In 2017 at The Paramount Theatre and in 2019 at Marymoore Park). I also have 3 of The National’s live albums and this a RSD release recorded live at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley, CA September 24-25, 2018 using the “The Mike Millard Method" see the mini-doc below for a good descriptor of what that entails. While it’s recorded well, this is one of those instance that I wish I had a Tape Deck as part of my main set up as my little boom box her just can’t crank loud enough to achieve pure bliss.
