He is so selfless that he almost gets overlooked in the greatness of this band...but Bryan Devendorf is perhaps the biggest reason their music is so magical. His subtle textures and syncopated grooves are an indelible part of their song structures. They are simple at first glance but have just the right amount of embellishments and accents to keep them fresh and exciting. Lets all raise a glass to their amazing drummer....

Excuse me, sir. But there's nothing in the phrase "boring nonsense" would apply on the entirety of this video. Well, for me at least. And kudos to them for uploading the whole concert with amazing quality.
Agree there. Definite one i would travel 24 hours on a flight. The outdoor ones just brings out the extra Magic. Seen many National gigs. The one that outstands is Dublin gardens. And can you believe it! Sunshine galore!

I have them live six times now. The first time was in a very small venue called the basement and Matt swung on a high pipe screaming Mr November. I fell in love with them ever since. It was crazy to see.
Old man, bored, drunk, alone on Christmas and half a decade late, but I'm pretty sure it's the percussion choices that makes their music for me. There are a lot of bands that do what they've done and just as well, but the deliberate decision, or happy accident of where the percussion is make their music just a cut above and, for me, timeless and well worth revisiting.
Once I bumped into Matt accidentally after a gig in Vienna. The only thing I could think of saying was: "was the cable long enough?" He said they always test it before the show. It was fun.
No, that's just you thinking that because you're a big fan, and 70 others agreeing with you for the same reason. It's like thinking that the woman you love is the most beautiful woman in the world. it's not true.
If you think the woman you love is the most beautiful in the world you are a lucky man indeed. As for the band, I can't comment. Haven't made up my mind. But I've never felt that way about a woman either.
"Hey Dad, why is my sister named Rose?" "Because your mother loves roses." "Ah. Thanks, Dad!" "No Problem, Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks live at the Sydney Opera House."
To be honest this is my favourite band since 2009 already Kurt. But Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks is one of my least favourite songs. It's okay on record but I don't like it when they do it live because they mean the won't close the show with About Today.
Completely agree. This is a seminal moment for me. Matt banging his head with the mike in Terrible love after Mr. November, crowd surfing and the epic freak out of Humiliation is just a pinochle moment.
Dear lord this is one of the greatest performances of all time. In Mr. November he wanders into the crowd as they feed the mic cable to him. While he sings, "I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders," the crowd picks him up and carries him.
@@mskcrc There is no generic 'post-punk revival', just as there was no generic post-punk. Bands such as Joy Division and The Cure were vastly different -- then placing them against a band like The Sound, there's even more variety. PPR ranges from The Strokes, to Arctic Monkeys, to these wonderful people. This is music in its purest form; just enjoy.
When a band writes songs that heal you, make you smile, make you cry, etc, etc. What a great band. I can't stop listening. Never will. This is like medicine.
I've seen The National four times now. So it's crazy to me that this only came out in 2017. Because I only got into them through this very video. It just got recommended to me one day, I scrubbed through it and I was hooked. Not instantly but I kept coming back to it. I ended up downloading this and listening to it obsessively for weeks every morning on my commute before buying Trouble Will Find Me on vinyl. My first The National record and to this day probably still my favourite. I almost ended up paying $250 to see them live that year but luckily got away with paying a scalper $50. It was an amazing show. Whenever I face heartbreak, I put on Trouble Will Find Me and I feel like Matt is talking about exactly what I'm going through. Their music's not lost their magic for me, not after hundreds, probably thousands of re-listens. "I'm not alone / I'll never be / ... / When they ask / What do I see / I say a bright, white, beautiful heaven hanging over me"
Sydney Opera House only had temporary permission from the recording company, I believe. I reached out to their support team over a year ago when this first was removed. Amazing show. Happy to see it back on the web. :)
I've seen The National a couple of times and appreciate their music and aesthetic. At Bonnaroo, Matt introduced a song as another sad song - one of the other guys asked: "Do we have any happy songs?"
Back for the trillionth time. This has been a favorite band of mine for the past 15+ years and they just keep getting more and more astonishing! So fortunate to have seen them live, and looking forward to many more live performances to come!
I think my favorite part of this whole thing was that moment at 1:35:23 when the intro has been building and building, and then you hear those familiar notes start and you can just feel the energy of the audience... It always gives me chills.
And then, in blissful release, the word 'today' bursts through the clouds of those oh-so-familiar notes; it's like magic -- sorrowful and painful magic that Matt himself feels as he begins to sway his head. Everything here is of the highest level of beauty; it's truly such a treat.
Well I have been on one of their shows when they were not as famous yet, at least not where I am from, needles to say I was the only one screaming my head off at the first note, while people around me were just giving me *this* look. I regret nothing
along the years, I've come and gone through a long spectrum of music tastes. this band was very important to me in my teenage years, and when I listen to them now that I'm older, I can only think that it is a band that will forever remain in my soul, no matter who I become. They're timeless
I couldn't have said it better myself. I first discovered them nearly ten years ago at 17 and now that I'm 26 I'm still as enamoured with them as ever.
One of the thing that stands out to me with The National is they always work with talented artists and allow them the space needed to be successful. From engineers to designers to lighting. Always just right
Honestly, this was/is the best video on youtube. I would have paid serious amounts of money to buy this, after it was taken down by The House. Week made -long live The National!
I watched this when it streamed live and I’ve watched it regularly for the past five years. I use it to relive the two times I’ve seen them live until I get a chance to do so again.
this was one of the greatest performances I've ever watched. Not even singing wise.. Just the way he interacts with the crowd and throws his emotions out like Bruce Lee punches... God.. I cant even describe the feeling this entire performance gave me. It literally brings you through ups and downs.. A complete rollercoaster ride!
I will literally die of happiness if I ever see them live. I wish I didn't live in this small country that never gets any good concerts... I love you guys so much. ♥
@@TheColourOfSpring- Saw them perform All the Wine in Berkeley a month ago, such a treat. They performed two days so I made sure to go to both days knowing the setlists would be different.
That's crazy, the instruments sound crispier live. Matt sounds different, but I've seen them live and the energy they bring is unbeatable@@PoisonessKkj
Seriously, this band has never made a bad album, and their concerts are sick!!! Absolute geniuses the whole lot of them. I love them, they are my favourite band going. Matt you're a poet on the level of Bukowski!!!
I’ve seen The National once before I knew any of their music and it was a standout concert of my life. Absolutely superb live! We were booked to see them again when Covid first hit and The National cancelled their tour. One day again I hope.
The climax of this set with is pure musical joy for all when Matt joins the crowd; then the singalong, lights on the crowd Vanderlyle with bumping fists and finishing without the mic. It's beautiful to watch, brings a tear to the eye
Seeing the National live~ srill shook, 2 yrs later. My legs quiver & quake driving down the highway listening again & again This song especially ~ Damn for someone who's survived hell on earth, my own hell I made, alive arill somehow, The National, MBV, Interpol, Miniatures, Slowdive & I'll die in bliss
Thanks so much for putting this up, and at such great quality! It's wonderful. I don't understand why more bands don't... it just makes me want to see them live even more.
Piece of art, pure inspiration, without any doubts! Every single second of this very video is worth it. The bigger screen the deeper pleasure by the way))) Projector owners are the happiest here)))
these guys are great. when their single came out here in 2010 or whenever i didn't dig it that much but recently i've gone deeper into the music and it's awesome. this show is great
What an amazing concert! Really looking forward to seeing them live when they tour to promote the new album which I'm sure will be another masterpiece!
Saw them in Chicago at a small theater and they are the best live band I've ever seen. Matt was popping up in different parts of the venue singing amongst the crowd and just killed it. One thing i love about them is they love playing for their fans and make each show personal.
Danke für diese wunderbare Musik! Kenne diese Band, erst vier Monate und bin jeden Tag mehr begeistert. Zeitlose Songs, die mich vergessen lassen, schon auf die 60 zu zu gehen.
I'm here again. 1:40:52 that part right before one of my favourite songs is killing me every time. I wish I was there, at this concert. So breathtaking. Watching this is like being in one of the most beautiful dreams ever.
This is my favorite concert, ever, and my second fav performance of 'about today' (the other is that instrumental with violin they did for Spin magazine).
Moved to NJ a few years back. For some reason, I feel so comforted that I'm that much closer to Sufjan, The Gregory Brothers, and The National. Not that I'll ever meet them. But NYC is more grand because they are there.
Mr November is just the spark that makes their shows so great...the way he walks among people like if it's nobody's business and then it's just the contrary...epic. Love that part every time I see it. I simply adore The National.
This version of "Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks" is so beautiful! What an amazing sing along! I got to see them at Red Rocks recently and they closed the show the same way, it was magical.
Matt:*Drops microphone*
Matt:*Drags microphone by the cable to pick it up banging everything in sight*
Matt: "Graceless..."
I can't stop thinking about this. Awesome.
Died. Laughing!
And then wanders all over the stage looking for a way down into the crowd, causing feedback all over the place. Gotta love Matt.
He is so selfless that he almost gets overlooked in the greatness of this band...but Bryan Devendorf is perhaps the biggest reason their music is so magical. His subtle textures and syncopated grooves are an indelible part of their song structures. They are simple at first glance but have just the right amount of embellishments and accents to keep them fresh and exciting. Lets all raise a glass to their amazing drummer....
The drummer is absolutely the best part of the band which is saying something….I’m lucky to be able to catch them for the 6th time in August.
Ridiculously talented. The soul of the band. Elevates the band immeasurably. Such a unique player.
I'm glad someone else agrees with me. He is an absolute astonishing percussionist! Cheers!
I just scrolled down to see if anyone mentioned his amazing drumming while watching Mistaken for Strangers.
It seems as if he puts his whole "self" into the music...far from selfless.

Byran devendorf, probably one of the most under, under rated drummers, plays for the song, just a joy to watch.
Nailed it, dude. He's my hero drummer.
Yes! One of my heroes too. His playing is so unique, so intricate and heavy and fluid. Love him
...About Today...
I have them live six times now. The first time was in a very small venue called the basement and Matt swung on a high pipe screaming Mr November. I fell in love with them ever since. It was crazy to see.
Yep, never heard his drumming described like this before. Nailed it.
Honestly, I can't even describe how much I love this band.
just try ...
Some two
Post-nut clarity. This is how I describe it. lol
Are you stoned!?!
I think you described your love without quite describing it
Old man, bored, drunk, alone on Christmas and half a decade late, but I'm pretty sure it's the percussion choices that makes their music for me. There are a lot of bands that do what they've done and just as well, but the deliberate decision, or happy accident of where the percussion is make their music just a cut above and, for me, timeless and well worth revisiting.

Once I bumped into Matt accidentally after a gig in Vienna. The only thing I could think of saying was: "was the cable long enough?"
He said they always test it before the show.
It was fun.
The entire concert is breathtaking, especially the interactions with the audience. It's like being there while 16,000 miles away!
@Connor Hendricks he's Czech so Austria I presume
Asking "Is YOUR cable long enough" might have been worse
@@myxomatosis_ Yep, it was in Austria in 2010.
With a set list like this they are approaching the status of best live band on earth.
No, that's just you thinking that because you're a big fan, and 70 others agreeing with you for the same reason.

Shut up, Abraham
If you think the woman you love is the most beautiful in the world you are a lucky man indeed. As for the band, I can't comment. Haven't made up my mind. But I've never felt that way about a woman either.
+Abraham It's called the echo chamber effect when it's between multiple people.
These guys are a great band regardless.
+Gwhackamole Of course they're a great band. I have never disagreed with that.
I am gonna cry like a fool next time I see them in concert. Fuck this pandemic.
This, this so much
Saw them twice live . Definitely an experience for life
"Hey Dad, why is my sister named Rose?"
"Because your mother loves roses."
"Ah. Thanks, Dad!"
"No Problem, Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks live at the Sydney Opera House."
Aside from all the syllables I reckon that's a pretty sick name
lol
To be honest this is my favourite band since 2009 already Kurt. But Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks is one of my least favourite songs. It's okay on record but I don't like it when they do it live because they mean the won't close the show with About Today.
Heyyyy
Dude, same.
drinking beer while watching this in quarantine just to feel sth......

Just watched it full blast on the big screen. Practically in tears because of how much I miss concerts. Jumping around my living room isn’t the same.

Finally!! After it was taken off of Live At the House's channel I thought we'd lost it for good. Thank you
why was this taken down in the first place?
Alexander Rigda I don't think there was any explanation, just all of a sudden Sydney Opera House's channel didn't have it any more
Sydney Opera House only had temporary permission from the recording company, I believe. I reached out to their support team over a year ago when this first was removed. Amazing show. Happy to see it back on the web. :)
Ahh, thank you! Always wondered what the explanation was
I've seen The National a couple of times and appreciate their music and aesthetic. At Bonnaroo, Matt introduced a song as another sad song - one of the other guys asked: "Do we have any happy songs?"
but "sad" songs are the most passionate.
Oblivions?

I'M CRYING AND I WASN'T EVEN THERE
this is like the only band that sounds even better live
I blame it on Matt's personality getting in the way ;p
Radiohead, Sigur Ros & lots of other great bands sound better live than in studio...
I'd be ballin my eyes out with this set list.
It's just missing All The Wine.
Ballin? Or bawling? I don't think you meant "ballin" considering what that implies (unless you're into that sort of thing).
I was at this show. One of the best shows I've ever been to. Setlist was perfect!
@@TheColourOfSpring- Saw them perform All the Wine in Berkeley a month ago, such a treat. They performed two days so I made sure to go to both days knowing the setlists would be different.
They sound better live than in the studio (instruments) and I always wonder how is this even possible. I just love them so so so much♥️
That's crazy, the instruments sound crispier live. Matt sounds different, but I've seen them live and the energy they bring is unbeatable@@PoisonessKkj
@@ninasalasc the instruments sounds really good, but matt's voice not
Hard to Find has to be one of the most beautiful songs written in the last 30 years.
Seriously, this band has never made a bad album, and their concerts are sick!!! Absolute geniuses the whole lot of them. I love them, they are my favourite band going. Matt you're a poet on the level of Bukowski!!!
I’ve seen The National once before I knew any of their music and it was a standout concert of my life. Absolutely superb live! We were booked to see them again when Covid first hit and The National cancelled their tour. One day again I hope.
I nearly cry everytime 1:13:45. The merging of the music and emotion are perfect.
My favorite group ever (and I'm 65, lol)!!!! Matt Berninger voice is pure magic!
Thank you! I've been waiting for watching this again for a quite long time!
Best band ever and I’ve seen a few in my 54 years. Rock on limerick 2021. Can not wait
This is one of the most perfect concerts I've ever seen.
I wish I could give this 16,000 thumbs ups!!!!! 👍👍👍☘️
Such a great show! Thank you for posting the full video!
thank you SO much for reuploading this
The climax of this set with is pure musical joy for all when Matt joins the crowd; then the singalong, lights on the crowd Vanderlyle with bumping fists and finishing without the mic. It's beautiful to watch, brings a tear to the eye
Thank you for putting this back up. I hadn't been able to sing in the shower since it was taking down. :-)
HAHAHAHA same!
Seeing the National live~ srill shook, 2 yrs later. My legs quiver & quake driving down the highway listening again & again
This song especially ~ Damn for someone who's survived hell on earth, my own hell I made, alive arill somehow, The National, MBV, Interpol, Miniatures, Slowdive & I'll die in bliss
Thanks so much for putting this up, and at such great quality! It's wonderful. I don't understand why more bands don't... it just makes me want to see them live even more.
Man, this was really one of the best gigs I've gone to - so good to have this video up to watch it again haha
Piece of art, pure inspiration, without any doubts! Every single second of this very video is worth it. The bigger screen the deeper pleasure by the way))) Projector owners are the happiest here)))
I want a projector for this so bad, just so I can feel like I'm actually there!
Vitaly Buylov happiest was actually being there on the night. Best live concert experience!
apart from those of course...though the one could be handy for them as well...in order to refresh memories)))
I've spent just 70 euro for the used one...1200 lumen (1600*1200)...It is cheap, actually).So it goes (c)
Yep have been watching it on my projector, so good!
Fantastic concert. Thanks for uploading. Can't wait for the new album.
At long last it's back!
One of my favorite live concerts too!
Loved it, awesome that you guys played Lean and some of your older songs!
Love "About today"! Thank you for sharing
Nicely done intro and commentary as well as such a great show! Killer setlist and awesome setting!
these guys are great. when their single came out here in 2010 or whenever i didn't dig it that much but recently i've gone deeper into the music and it's awesome. this show is great
I especially love their concerts. How they improvise and expand their songs to greatness.
You guys are AMAZING!!!
So perfect. I Love TN so much I can't wait to see them live again.
I'll forever be grateful for this performance and how often I was comforted by it on so many nights
I was lucky enough to see them in Seattle in '13. It was unforgettable.
I was there and it was amazing! Got to sing with Matt!
You talking about the 2 Neptune shows? ...me too
awesome show, awesome setlist. Awesome band.
MAH MEN!
thanks for uploading this on this channel!
What an insanely good live show. Perfect sound mix, great set.
So amazing when he goes into the crowd! ♥️
Great concert at an amazing place! Beautiful Sydney! WOW!
What an amazing concert! Really looking forward to seeing them live when they tour to promote the new album which I'm sure will be another masterpiece!
Can't stop listening & watching this concert...amazing from the beginning till the end!! Thx for sharing and in loving memory of Zs..
stunning setting, beautiful set
Amazing live performance. THANK YOU TH-cam PEOPLE!
Pink Rabbits. The greatest anthem that will never get played on the radio.
I actually heard it on the radio once
Saw them in Chicago at a small theater and they are the best live band I've ever seen.
Matt was popping up in different parts of the venue singing amongst the crowd and just killed it.
One thing i love about them is they love playing for their fans and make each show personal.
These are truly exceptional!!
Danke für diese wunderbare Musik! Kenne diese Band, erst vier Monate und bin jeden Tag mehr begeistert. Zeitlose Songs, die mich vergessen lassen, schon auf die 60 zu zu gehen.
dont swallow the cap is such an underrated song. my soul hurts when i hear it
So dark and still so good in '22
I only missed the secret meeting song, but was an amazing concert, truly amazing!
The best two hours I saw and listen to for a long time
man this is too good. saw them live at Bonnaroo 2019 and fell in love
The song Mr. Novemeber is always fire, Matt always goes mad. What an awesome playlist. THANK YOU so much The National and Sir Berninger!!
The love I have for this band is unmeasurable. My heart is exploding from joy while watching this. :')
I'm here again. 1:40:52 that part right before one of my favourite songs is killing me every time. I wish I was there, at this concert. So breathtaking. Watching this is like being in one of the most beautiful dreams ever.
Saw The National 2 years ago in a small town in upstate NY. They are phenomenal live.
great show! wow! really impressive. i would really like to see them live one day... :) thanks for the upload!
This is my favorite concert, ever, and my second fav performance of 'about today' (the other is that instrumental with violin they did for Spin magazine).
I was there, brilliant band, brilliant night and brilliant watching it back.
Moved to NJ a few years back. For some reason, I feel so comforted that I'm that much closer to Sufjan, The Gregory Brothers, and The National. Not that I'll ever meet them. But NYC is more grand because they are there.
Haha, I feel you. Bands like the National would be a valid reason to move to the USA.
Greetings from Germany mate.
Oh, their Europe tour is a valid reason to pay 60 euros for schengen visa ;)
Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks - MAGIC 💙
Mateusz Kaflowski when???
Final song : 2:07:15
Man, its all been forgiven? Xd
I truly envy the mesmerised ones in the audience. What an incredible concert.
Skip to 9:50 when it really starts.
Thank you
Actually, it sounds unfinished and rushed through.
Mr November is just the spark that makes their shows so great...the way he walks among people like if it's nobody's business and then it's just the contrary...epic. Love that part every time I see it. I simply adore The National.
Will never get over the guitar in I Need My Girl and About Today, beautiful!
This version of "Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks" is so beautiful! What an amazing sing along! I got to see them at Red Rocks recently and they closed the show the same way, it was magical.
Great concert, superb performance!!
