The National play Sydney stormer; doing it here soon!

While Scott’s sitting out this leg of the tour due to the arrival of a new baby Devendorf, the rest of the chaps were in top form and causing us to experience long-distance shivers!
Mr. Berninger was off the vino and sampling a range of exotic cocktails – not all of which were to his liking! They did however inspire several encore crowd forays, some quality hitting of microphone off head and general Matt mayhem.
If possible, it’s made us even more insanely excited about catching the chaps when they play Cork Live At The Marquee (July 14); Galway Arts Festival (16) and Dublin Iveagh Gardens (18 & 19).
Tickets are shifting fast, so grab ‘em now! There'll certainly be no short-changing with their Aussie gig clocking it at an almost Springsteenesque 2hrs 16mins.
The good news if you missed the Sydney feed, which concluded with the obligatory mass acoustic rendition of 'Vanderlyle Crybaby Geeks', is that the show has gone straight to archive with some more National-y goodness for you below.
