The National

In the fall of 2010, The National was riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album, "High Violet," which had dropped earlier that year. It was a pivotal moment for the band, as "High Violet" marked their breakthrough into mainstream recognition, featuring standout tracks like "Bloodbuzz Ohio" and "Terrible Love." The live performance of "Runaway" at the House of Blues in Houston on October 8, 2010, perfectly encapsulates the moody, atmospheric sound that earned them a dedicated following. This particular concert coincided with their tour, supporting "High Violet," which helped solidify their reputation as an exceptional live act. Interestingly, around this time, they were also garnering attention for their intense and emotional stage presence, drawing crowds eager to experience the profound depth of their music firsthand. It's moments like these that truly showcase The National's ability to connect with audiences—an experience that's hard to forget.
