The National

In November 2011, during the live recording at Thebarton Theatre in Adelaide, The National was riding high on the success of their critically acclaimed album, "High Violet," which dropped earlier that same year. This album marked a turning point for the band, propelling them into the indie rock spotlight with hits like "Bloodbuzz Ohio" and "Conversation 16." Their performance in Adelaide showcases the band's gripping emotional depth and intricate sound that had begun to resonate more widely. Interesting tidbit: despite their growing fame, The National has often highlighted how their music still stems from deeply personal experiences, making each show feel intimate—even in larger venues. This concert is a testament to their ability to connect emotionally with audiences, blending melancholy and celebration beautifully.
