Mayer Hawthorne & the County

Mayer Hawthorne's & the County laid down the blues at the Rock and Roll Hotel! This show restored my faith in being able to see a good sold out show at the Rock and Roll Hotel. Even though the show was just as packed as the We Were Promised Jetpacks show the sound was so much better. I had a big guy in front of me (nice guy) so I couldn't see all that well, but the sound, the sound!, the sound was awesome!
I had never seen a Mayer Hawthorne show before, so I was pleasantly surprised with his musical range and the band's on stage presence and banter. The sound, the music, the audience - all great. All in all it was just a great show and a wonderful evening. I say run out and get his album, A Strange Arrangement, now!

The National

The National at DAR on Sunday 6/6/2010

Opened with Runaway. Then proceeded to play literally all their best songs. All of them!
Matt walk down the center of the Orchestra during Able, which was great, but I have to ask, don't they make wireless mics now? Why string a mile long cord through the audience? Maybe wireless mics don't sounds as well? Anyone know?
Later in the show Matt walked down the right side tier seating during Mr. November. And showed off his balance by walking across the arms of the chairs. Again, very cool he came out to the audience even thought we were in a big hall. Made it feel more like the 9:30 Club.
The National closed with an awesome About Today ("Are you awake? Well can I ask you about today?"). All in all the show was about 2 hours. Great entertainment for the money!

As my friend, John said, "That's rock 'n' roll, friends!"
