The National

In June 2022, The National performed at the Stadtpark Freilichtbühne in Hamburg, featuring their song "Don't Swallow the Cap," which was originally part of their album "Trouble Will Find Me" released in 2013. This live recording comes at an exciting juncture for the band, as they were gearing up for the release of their follow-up album, "First Two Pages of Frankenstein," set to drop in 2023. It’s fascinating to note that the band, known for their poignant lyrics and melancholic sound, had reached a level of maturity in their work by 2022. The atmospheric setting of Hamburg's open-air venue and the palpable connection with the audience added depth to their performance. This concert not only showcased their classic hits but also spotlighted their evolution as artists, blending new and old material in a dynamic way.
