They were absolutely amazing! The Antlers definitely bored me a bit, which was disappointing, but expected. I just can't seem to get into them. Matt Berninger was so amazing and charming and he definitely made me swoon. The Dessner brothers, of course, didn't disappoint and I absolutey agree with you that Devendorf is one of the best drummers out there today. (And wasn't he just so adorably in his own little world back there?) I commented on that to a friend and he said he wasn't that impressed. To me, the drummer completes the experience and Devendorf does such a great job of adding to that distinctive National sound. I also agree with you that it's very easy to overdo the horns and I felt they did a great job of balancing that. They played a lot of my favorites and I was so surprised to hear About Today at the end. I cried at least 3 times during the show. An overall AMAZING performance! (Minus the 2 drunk, loud chicks behind me and "SUPERFAN," as we named him, up front pointing his fingers in the air through the whole show. He was pretty entertaining and I thought it was so sweet how Berninger high-fived him at the end.) Also, it was nice to see thew view from your seats as I was sitting 3rd row center and it's cool to be that close but you kinda miss out on the whole EXPERIENCE when you're that close.Leahhttp://mycongressheights.tumblr.com/noreply@blogger.com
