The National

In July 2016, The National delivered a stunning live performance of 'I Need My Girl' at the MEO Arena in Lisbon during the SBSR festival. By this point in their career, the band was riding high on the success of their album 'Trouble Will Find Me,' released in 2013, which had solidified their sound and fan base. This period marked a significant era for The National as they garnered critical acclaim for their blend of introspective lyrics and lush instrumentation. Interestingly, during the SBSR performance, frontman Matt Berninger's emotive presence and rich vocal delivery showcased the deep connections fans felt with their music, especially with tracks like 'I Need My Girl.' This live rendition not only highlighted their poignant songwriting but also underscored the band’s ability to engage a crowd, creating an unforgettable atmosphere that left an indelible mark on Lisbon's music scene.
