Wow, I'm excited! I got tickets for one of their Beacon shows but don't really know their stuff. Was contemplating not going but now I'm super psyched to go!

Got tickets for the Dec 3rd show here in SF ... but I have to admit, they're getting a bit too big.

Don't get me wrong, I love that they have new fans ... and wish them all the success in the world ... it's just selfishly, I just hate that the venues they are playing have gone from 500 to 1,000 to 2,500 and now the Civic Auditorium here in SF which holds 7,000 which will no doubt be filled with early 20 somethings updating their facebook and holding their shitty phones in the air taking crappy pics all show long.

I am looking forward to seeing them again, though ... I am fortunate as they seem to play San Francisco quite a bit.

Thanks Alistair! I know I'll need a good show in December to recover from PJ20/Foo Fighters withdrawal so I'm glad I now have one lined up

Man, was I really the last one to post on this thread?! Anyway, just came back from the show at The Beacon! The show was pretty awesome!

Sweet! Matt really has a voice and the band is top notch. I just got back from Bon Iver!

For fans of The National and Matt, if you haven't heard his guest appearance on Booker T. Jones' latest album The Road To Memphis, here it is:

Awesome tune. "Representing Memphis" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMvyQkwU ... re=related

Great band. I'm so lucky to have seen them open for R.E.M.

One of the best shows I have ever seen
