i'm on vol. 2 now, which has a lot of I Am Easy To Find songs--nine of them. i feel like these songs translate so much better in a live setting. wish Not in Kansas was on here as well.
also, i just looked at the tracklist for vol. 3. damn, i need to get my hands on that one.

you made me go back and look to see if i ever got the volume 3 the mail. evidently it's been sitting behind by desk in my home office unopened for 3 months, together with the light years book and live LP.
by the way, i only have these on vinyl. so i won't be listening to them today.
For some reason, the Light Years book/vinyl was where I drew the line. I do have the Lot of Sorrow box, though.
man, i bet that is quite the listening experience. was it six hours...is that right? have you listened to it all?
one of the last times we saw the national was at a pre-show at a tiny rando food hall in chicago on the I am easy to find tour. they played a stripped down version of sorrow, and before starting it matt said that they swore that they would never play it again after that experience.

I haven’t been there in a bit. But it looks like a lot of the original vendors pulled out because of Covid.

man, Brian's drumming on Murder Me Rachael on cherry tree vol. 1 is ridiculous.
Had a bunch of these but certainly not all, are the non-radio sessions mainly alternate sources or AUDs?
the OP said "soundboard," but they're all mp3.
Ah, yeah; I see some in my unofficial folder already so looks a mix of FM and WEBCAST sources I bet. There were only a handful of actual SBDs circulating for ages.
MP3s rarely have good source info in the tags, lossless sources almost always have a txt file with details but I'll take what I can get.

yeah, i really just wanted some of those radio sessions. i have a couple shows from 2005 that are lossless. can't really of any others after '05 that aren't ripped from a webast.
