The National

At the time of their memorable performance at Lollapalooza on August 8, 2010, The National had just released their critically acclaimed album "High Violet" a few months prior, in May of that year. This album marked a significant milestone in their career, propelling them into the limelight and earning them a much wider audience. Interestingly, "High Violet" includes some of their most beloved tracks, such as "Bloodbuzz Ohio" and "Terrible Love," setting the stage for a riveting live experience. The band's performance of "Mr. November" during the festival showcases their signature blend of introspective lyrics and soaring melodies, while frontman Matt Berninger's powerful stage presence really stood out. Plus, it’s quite heartwarming to see him sing to a little girl in the crowd, encapsulating that special connection artists can forge with their audience. It was a vibrant moment that really exemplified the celebration of music at such events.
