Oh yeah, don't get me wrong I'm really excited to see Runaway live, and yeah anything before Alligator shouldn't be expected... They can really do no wrong, so whatever they play will be exceptional.

I kinda thought Mr. November and Fake Empire were mainstays in the set list.

I don't recall them playing pre-Alligator material pre-Boxer, which was the first time I saw them. Every song was on Alligator, with a handful of new songs which eventually were on Boxer.
As for Mr. November, they closed with it each time I've seen them, and I was under the impression that is ritualistic. Even if the set is heavy on the new stuff, I think you'll get Mr. November. He won't fuck you over.

Both shows I saw them at (Winter of 2007, and early Fall 2008) they closed with Slow Show. But good to hear that it's more often than not.

I've heard them play Slow Show several times, but never as a closing. That's interesting. I normally get Mr. November.

Are we going to need a poll to determine the most likely closing song!?! Ha Seriously though, I'm with dontoro in that they can do no wrong. I don't want to know the setlist beforehand, so I can enjoy that little bit of surprise and excitement once every new song starts.

I have finally had some time to listen to the new album in it's entirety...and I mean actually listen to it, and, it is unbelievable how good it is. Musically and lyrically it blew me away. Solid album from start to finish.

agreed. best overall national album to date. i've probably listened to it 10 times through now and it's still getting better.

The last two songs on the album, along with "Bloodbuzz", "Afraid of Everything" and "Runaway" solidify that this is a major contender for album of the year.

I find that I've been listening to Lemonworld a lot more than everything else on the album. Although I've had that really low version of Runaway for what seems like forever already...so that could be partially the reason. Same with Bloodbuzz.

my favorite: afraid of everyone. conversation 16, and anyone's ghost are also amazing. This album really sparked my interest in them.

Props to The National for making the 2nd-best song called "Runaway" ever.

I first laughed thinking this was a Bon Jovi joke, until I thought about how you could be serious, and if you were being serious, you could have easily substituted Del Shannon for Bon Jovi, unless you were trying to be funny and meant Pink, Linkin Park or Janet Jackson, or are just a really big Yeah Yeah Yeahs fan, or maybe you meant Soul Asylum all along, thinking Runaway was the title to Runaway Train, but either way, I would have to agree with half of your choices, even if you only chose one.

I agree 100% then. Only time will tell between the National and Bon Jovi though. I'm still convinced he pulled a Milli Vanilli with the high pitched vocals at the end.
I wonder which version LT prefers?
