The National performs Quiet Light live at British Summer Time in London
In July 2019, The National graced the stage at Hyde Park for the British Summer Time festival, delivering a heartfelt performance of "Quiet Light." This live recording comes just after the release of their critically acclaimed album, "Sleep Well Beast," which dropped in 2017. The band was amidst a creative resurgence, having melded their introspective lyricism with an expansive sound that included electronic elements. Fun fact: during the festival, they shared the stage with notable acts, showcasing their eclectic indie rock style to a diverse crowd. Fans often describe their live shows as intimate, even in large venues, due to Matt Berninger's candid stage presence and the band's harmonious arrangements. This performance not only highlighted their journey but also served as an emblem of the band's growth and dedication to live artistry.
