The National performs Ice Machines Live at Pitchfork Music Festival Chicago

Venue: Union Park Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States Date: July 15, 2022

At the time of their live recording at Pitchfork Music Festival on July 15, 2022, The National was riding the wave of their acclaimed album "I Am Easy to Find," released in 2019. This album showcased a more expansive sound, featuring collaborations with a variety of guest vocalists, and was well-received for its introspective themes. The band's performance, particularly of "Ice Machines," highlighted their ability to evoke deep emotional responses through layered instrumentation and Matt Berninger's distinct baritone voice. Importantly, the concert was part of their promotion for "First Two Pages of Frankenstein," their upcoming album that keeps fans buzzing with anticipation. Interestingly, while performing live, the band often connects deeply with their audience, turning each show into a unique, immersive experience.
