The National Live — Sleep Well Beast Tour, Amsterdam

25 October 2017 · Amsterdam

The National mid-set during the Sleep Well Beast tour at an indoor Amsterdam venue. A guitarist holds centre stage, lit from above by a spread of white beam lights cutting through purple haze, while the keyboard player anchors the right and the full band fills the backdrop. The crowd in the foreground is silhouetted against the stage glow — close enough that the room and the performance feel like one thing, not two.
