I got to the Seaport late and caught about seven minutes of a song from The National. It was a great seven minutes, but it was their last song! It was all over before 9:30 pm. Apparently, one blogger believes that the rain caused the event organizers to shorten the opening bands' time allotment to get The National on by 8 pm and avoid any later rain. Whatever the case, I didn't make it to see more than a few minutes of The National's set. Doug and Eric, you'll have to tell us how it was!
Here's the set list from Scoboco's blog:
1. Start a War
2. Mistaken For Strangers
3. Secret Meeting
4. Brainy
5. Baby We'll Be Fine
6. Slow Show
7. Abel
8. Squalor Victoria
9. Racing Like a Pro
10. Apartment Story
11. Daughters of the Soho Riots
12. Fake Empire

ok then , you get the mini-review for this one, a bit belated. being that i only knew the songs slightly, and the ones from the new album only, i can say they were a little heavier than i was expecting. the night was nice, it didn't rain and it was crowded. i really don't appreciate this venue so much either. but they played solidly and really got into a few of them, and the closed out with a great one i wasn't familiar with. anyway, steve kept me up way too late afterwards, so anything i would have written for this one was forgetten in delirium later on. so the crappy review is all steve's fault.
