The National Live — Sleep Well Beast Tour, Amsterdam

25 October 2017 · Amsterdam

Guitarist and keyboardist locked in mid-song, blue and purple stage wash cutting hard columns of light behind them. The National's Sleep Well Beast tour brought this to Amsterdam: a stage that feels both enormous and precise, the band spread wide across it, Fender stacks and moving heads marking the geometry. Stage design as loud as the songs — every light cue deliberate, every position earned.
