The National, Royal Albert Hall, London


Second night of the tour and the band are still plenty rough, stopping songs and mixing up words. Matt finds his way into the crowd several times, with a particularly epic excursion during Mr November seeing him passing the mic to the balcony. 20 songs whip past in an hour and forty five minutes - including most of the new album - with standouts including a storming Squalor Victoria, Conversation 16 with it's refrain "I'm evil" and the gentle closer About Today which ends with a feedback laden jam that sees the band depart to ecstatic applause.
