The National Live — Sleep Well Beast Tour, Amsterdam

25 October 2017 · Amsterdam

Frontman Matt Berninger raises a hand toward the back of the hall, microphone in the other, while the band fills the stage behind him. Purple and white stage beams cut across a packed crowd; an LED screen blazes cyan and green above the full kit and keys. The National's Sleep Well Beast Tour at its most physical — the moment when a quiet album becomes a loud room, and the room decides it belongs to everyone in it.
