Posts from June 2010

OK, this is the last of the full songs. It only took me a week to upload everything. Then again you know how I am, slowly upload the moment to stretch it out longer. At least no one thought that I was in that parking lot for the whole week like everyone thought I was in FLA ever weekend. (although knowing that we know now I should have done that as the place may be ruined by the benzene hurricane coming next week :-(

The National Bloodbuzz Ohio, the first single off of High Violet. This song is like a worm in your head when you first hear it.

I hope everyone is not sick of me posting from The National's show from Rockin' the Knox?



This is one of my favorite moments of the show.

Matt & the band talk about flying JetBlue so they could watch the World Cup.

I would always hear people say, "I'll take snow any day, at least we don't have earthquakes or tornadoes..."

Do we scratch the We don't have Earthquake thing now???

The National - I'm afraid of everyone.
Basically I don't have the drugs to sort it out...



I think I have a couple more to post from the Knox.

The National "Fake Empire" off of Boxer.
Rockin' at the Knox 2010

The first song that I ever saw live by The National, as well as the first full song that I ever watched from my seat at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre.

Rufus Wainwright with his sister Martha Wainwright.

Here is Rufus singing with his Sister Martha performing a song that their Mom wrote. Thomas Bartlett (Doveman) from The National on Piano.

I was pleasantly surprised by the event last night. The crowd was well behaved with the exception of the typical cloud of smoke that seems to hover around every WNY outdoor concert. It seemed that they were there just to be seen and to support the Knox, which is fine and good in my book.

Just to be perfectly honest the only reason why I went was to see The National and Matt did not leave me disappointed at all. Here is the final song "Terrible Love." Plus I have to say the way it ended left me left me ecstatically shocked! It was good to see that he kept the momentum up from the Radio City show 2 nights earlier. Totally reminds me of the Pearl Jam Even Flow video back in the day.
