The National

On September 11, 2011, The National performed 'Thirsty' live at the iconic Hollywood Bowl. At this point in their career, they had recently released their critically acclaimed album 'High Violet' in May 2010, which marked a significant breakthrough for the band. 'High Violet' not only debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 but also featured deeply introspective tracks that resonated with fans and critics alike. The live recording showcases their unique blend of moody, atmospheric rock and the powerful vocals of Matt Berninger. Interestingly, this performance at a historic venue like the Hollywood Bowl further solidified their place in the indie rock scene, highlighting their growing popularity. The collaboration with St. Vincent during this concert also added an extra layer of artistry to the performance, making it a memorable moment in their live history.
