The National

In July 2010, when The National took the stage in Dachau, they were riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album "High Violet," which had been released just a couple of months earlier in May 2010. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, propelling them into the limelight and broadening their reach beyond the indie scene. With deeply introspective lyrics and lush instrumentals, "High Violet" resonated with fans and critics alike, featuring hits like "Bloodbuzz Ohio" and "Terrible Love." Performing in Dachau as part of the Dachauer Musiksommer, The National showcased their signature blend of melancholy and soaring melodies, captivating an audience eager for their unique sound. It’s interesting to note that this live recording isn't just a glimpse into a moment in time; it captures the band's evolution as they transitioned from a respected indie rock act into a household name, setting the stage for their future endeavors.
