The National at Newport Music Hall
Having only listened to The National on YouTube once about two hours before the show, I had no idea what I was getting into with this concert. They really didn’t seem like my style, but who can turn down two songs in the pit and full-set access from the soundboard and elsewhere? Yet again, my ears were pleasantly surprised.
The National rolled into town in support of President Obama’s reelection campaign. Their politically charged songs were met with emphatic appreciation from the crowd of college students and 20-somethings. While they weren’t incredibly dynamic from a stage presence point of view, The National’s music was the exact opposite. This was a great shoot and I really enjoyed the show.
