Rapid fire May is loco yo gig reviews 3: The National - The Olympia

A very wise puppet once repeatedly said, "That's the way to do it, That's the way to do it."

But he was a spouse abusing motherfucker so perhaps we should pay him no mind.

Nonetheless The National kicked my fucking ass tonight. The bass was still a little too low in the mix but otherwise all my previous problems were non-existent this time around.

I didn't love it. Sound was fine but they didn't light my fire as they did last November. Expectations set too high, perhaps!

The National: Just a band

Was full of expectation but no fires were lit.
Would like more divisive bands in future, GG Allin or Nina Simone puh-lease.
