The National

In August 2010, The National was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album, "High Violet," released just a few months prior in May of that year. This album marked a significant milestone in their career, as it debuted at number three on the Billboard 200, solidifying their position as a leading force in the indie rock scene. During their live performance of “Little Faith” at First Avenue, you can sense the fervor and excitement of a band that had truly found its voice. Interestingly, "High Violet" features lush instrumentation and introspective lyrics that reflect frontman Matt Berninger's signature storytelling style. Fast forward to that night in Minneapolis, and fans probably felt the electricity in the air—the palpable connection between the band and the audience, elevating the moment into something unforgettable. This live recording captures not just a song, but a pivotal moment in their journey as artists.
