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
