The National performs Mr November Live at First Direct Arena Leeds
In the live recording of 'Mr. November' from August 12, 2019, at the First Direct Arena in Leeds, The National was in the midst of promoting their album 'I Am Easy to Find,' released in May of that year. This album marked a notable evolution in their sound, featuring a richer instrumentation and the inclusion of various female vocalists, which added layers to their introspective and often melancholic themes. It's interesting to note that 'I Am Easy to Find' was inspired by a short film of the same name, showcasing the band's ambition to blend visual art and music. During this period, The National's performances were characterized by their emotional depth, and this show was no exception; fans often recall the intensity of Matt Berninger's vocals and the band's intricate arrangements, making for a memorable night in Leeds.
