    Cherry Tree Vol. 5 is gorgeous.  I love the colour of the vinyl, it reminds me of a toy I had when I was a kid. Something Ghostbusters maybe. Art is beautiful and the set list is great. They really knocked it outta the park for me on this one.  
    Such a great fan club to be part of!  The socks that came with are great too.....very warm.

    I feel this was there best overall fanclub year.  Socks were a nice addition.  I'm suprised they were able to have such a quick production of the vinyl for a March 2023 show.

    I think I would have liked an older show. This is a great show and a great recording. I would have like it a few years down the line rather than a live version of an album I just bought 6 months ago.

    Also, all the Frankenstein tracks have gotten stronger as the tour went on, these didn’t depart much from the album takes. 

    I dont doubt they’ll release a show from the tour at some point, but releasing this one just pushes that back a bit.

    David Letterman is returning to the Late Show for the first time since he left and he specifically asked for the National to be the musical guest. 

    So CBS Monday.

    Laugh Track has easily been my most favorite album of 2023. Frankenstein is awesome but Laugh Track is on another level.

    By sheer lucky in timing I saw them in Auckland the other night on the last night of my vacation. Listened to Laugh Track leading up to the show and I totally agree with you!

    On another note, the National might be the best current live band out there. Normally I'd say PJ, but their last tour was shorter sets then we are accustomed to. The National played for 2:15 with 27 songs. I saw their set the next night was just as long with about 1/2 the set different.

    Anyways, if they are in your town, make sure to see these guys any chance you can
