The National live at Manchester Apollo. September 2017. (Gary Mather / Live4ever)
The National will release a live film and EP via Amazon on August 23rd.
Both mediums are taken from the band’s appearance at New York’s Beacon Theatre earlier this year, part of the ‘special evenings’ they undertook there and in Paris, New York, London, Toronto and Los Angeles prior to the release of their 2019 album I Am Easy To Find.
