so did they play the 2 albums as the main set and then encore w/some greatest hits?

[azaghal1981]

Yeah.
They flew through the albums in under 75 minutes.


I wouldn't have been as annoyed with the delay if it didn't cause me to miss the last couple songs in the first encore and all of the second in order to catch my ride home.

[bearman🐻]

Agreed. I left right before the encores. Too early a day today, and I busted my ass to get there by 9. I would have loved to stay, but as it was I barely got 6 hours of sleep. That's the thing about DC on a week night. A lot of us actually have to schedule shows in. That being said, I was extremely happy with the quality of that performance and it was well worth the effort to go. The sound was huge. It reminded me of live Echo recordings from the early 80's.

Manics tonight in Amsterdam

According to a tweet from this morning:

seriously.  security came over to my section of the balcony to settle a squabble between one group of patrons trying to enjoy the show, and the ones behind them who wouldn't shut the f*ck up.  it really was a chatty crowd, constant buzz of talk throughout the night.  sorry we didn't a chance to meet up - hopefully next time.

i was relly impressed by the national.  beautiful room, great service, nice beer selection (loved the magic hat vinyl)... i liked.  made up for an average show and below-average crowd.
