The National Live at Paradiso Amsterdam

25 October 2017 · Amsterdam

Seven musicians spread across a dark stage, the whole scene washed deep purple from overhead rigs. The National at Paradiso, Amsterdam — the Sleep Well Beast tour brought the full band: guitars, brass, drums, and electronics side by side. Stage light this saturated does what the music does: it flattens the distance between the intimate and the overwhelming, making a room of hundreds feel like something closer.
