Not impressed, but not surprised. I'm really starting to hate the Phoenix.<br /> <br /> It's not the band, I don't think. I saw them on Sunday night at Le National in Montreal, and you could hear every single word clearly. They actually thanked their sound person that night, but the venue tends to be good for sound, Sunset Rubdown and Black Mountain were really strong on Saturday. It was a great show, but I was really disappointed in the sound.

Do we all live in the same place or what?<br /> I only really started to get into it by Squalor Victoria - people keep saying there are no rockers on this album, but live I think that one just about counts. The encore with Hayden was an excellent suprise too. I also noticed the singing along during Fake Empire, I also think it was just as you described. I think I saw you (judging by your pictures) up front - with a Canon SLR? I was behind and to the left.<br /> Anyway, seeing one of my favourite bands for the first time ever - I'm thrilled.

Luckily I was able to put my stuff in my car.<br /> <br /> The National didn't blow me out of the water and their songs seemed to meld into one, I could see that they found the formula that works for them and didn't go far from it. That being said, I enjoyed the show (especially the violinist) and LOVED the encore with Hayden. Too cool! But having not been in the Phoenix for a few years... I was reminded why I don't like the bigger venues. Too many people.

Shame all three shows are sold out this week. Thanks for the review! I like the National so much more than Radiohead right now. Shame all three shows are sold out this week. Thanks for the review!
