The National

their instagram stories has a quick video of the pop up and at least for today, i'd probably temper expectations as it looks like a handful of old posters, lots of copies of High Violet, and maybe some overstock of CT vol 4 - not to say there isn't more but not a collection of riches

Yeah looked real underwhelming.

Damn, if those are the older Cherry Tree volumes that'd be awesome. I only have vol. 4.
 
Just back from the pop up. They have all CTs, starting at $60 and up to $125 for CT 1

Did not have the plane poster but had its sister print, boats for the European tour.

No green SWB today. One signed copy of Light Years each day along with one blue system 7” each day. They have the RSD cassettes.

They are switching merch out each day. I’ll go back to see if any rarities, but it doesn’t look like any Sorrow boxes.

I took pix but still can’t seem to post them.

Couldn’t upload from my phone. Here are 2 pix of merch available today. Sister poster is just to the right of the Paul head in the center of the pic

Kind of a bummer. I have basically all of those. Not a signed copy of Light Years, but I still have it. The hole in my vinyl collection is A Lot Of Sorrow.

Holy shit it was an insanely great show tonight. Matt and Aaron said that they were pulling out old songs that they weren’t sure they remembered how to play. We got Humiliation into Murder Me Rachael. Also, Walk it Back, and a new song. Incredible.

I got Bryce’s setlist ❤️

Yeah that set list looks great. I’m thrilled to see Humiliation and Murder Me Rachael on it
 
The National are one of my favorite bands ever and its been so fun seeing them over the years from opening for another band at a 100 person venue to headlining the Hollywood Bowl for 18k. That said, I'm just not feeling the new album all that much and wasn't a big fan of IAETF either. Anyone else feeling a little fatigued with their current sound? I don't know if all the Dessner collaborations makes some of this music feel watered down maybe? I ended up selling my tickets to see them at the Greek at the end of the month and it feels crappy but the enthusiasm just isn't there anymore.

So jealous you got those two together. Two of my favorites. I don't think I've seen them do Humiliation in person, even on the TWFM tour.

Edit: I was wrong. They played it in 2013.

Yeah this new one is just …. Blah…. I’ve listened to it maybe 10 times and I really don’t feel like I need to more. I love when bands don’t change their sound drastically and just keep churning out solid record after solid record but here I think they need to shake it up. I would still go see them live though because these songs would work better live than on record.

Yeah I am sure they are still great live. There's nothing really wrong with the new record, I just don't feel the need to go back to it.

It is big and secure. Plus the CT variants. I love concert posters.

So both posters, last night's normal and CT variant are available online right now. That may change with each show but I think I'll worry less about getting one at the two shows I'm going to and just buy either when they come online.
