The National Live Performance of 'I Should Live in Salt' at The Troubadour, Los Angeles
In October 2015, The National recorded a live performance at The Troubadour in West Hollywood, a significant moment just months after the release of their album 'Sleep Well Beast' in September of that same year. This live show is a culmination of their evolving sound, blending lush instrumentation with frontman Matt Berninger's poignant lyricism. Interestingly, 'Sleep Well Beast' explores themes of anxiety and relationships, resonating deeply during live renditions like 'I Should Live in Salt,' showcased in this recording. By this point, The National had already established themselves as a staple in the indie rock scene, known for their immersive performances and introspective music, making their Troubadour show a thrilling experience for fans eager to connect with the band in an intimate venue.
