Matt Berninger (The National) Live at Union Chapel, London, England on 2025-04-05

About this film

The two shows in Leeds were the warm-up gigs for the show in London at the wonderful Union Chapel. The show in London was professionally filmed and recorded, so we will be seeing the show in full or in part in the promotion for Get Sunk or elsewhere in the future. The acoustics and lighting in the Union Chapel were phenomenal and the trio had slightly reworked individual songs compared to Leeds, so that - hard to imagine - the performance in London was even better than at the two shows in Leeds. The recording took place to the right of the FOH with a microphone stand about two metres above the heads of the seated audience and approx 20 meters away from stage. You can hear the occasional creaking of the pews, but otherwise the recording is very good. If you haven't done that yet, please preorder Get Sunk now. It's an awesome, brilliant, overwhelming album of 10 wonderful tunes, one of the best albums I've heard in a very long time.
