It's a bit like that incredible Amarone you drink at your friend's dinner. Casually opening that reasonably priced Zinfandel the next day just doesn't cut it.
When I saw The National in Europe they gave me a sensation that their recordings can't match: after the concert I couldnt't listen to the records for a while.
This time I was in the company of a couple that (despite a Spotify invite) never bothered to listen to the music in advance, so we listened to them a bit the following day. Quite nice, even though most of the conversation centered around their final number.
Their closing act is really quite a fabolous thing. They gather the band center front and play unplugged (completely). Appart from singing along the audience needs to be completely silent (as you'll notice in this clip).
