The National Live in the Netherlands — Sleep Well Beast Tour

25 October 2017 · Amsterdam

The National mid-performance, shot from the floor of a Dutch indoor venue on the Sleep Well Beast Concert Tour. Four band members are spread across a wide stage, the guitarist centre-stage bent low over his instrument. Behind them, angled LED panels flood the room in harsh white light — each panel tilted at a different plane, breaking the darkness into geometric slabs. Purple stage lights push colour into the wings. The stage is big, the room is full, and the light is working as hard as the band.
