Way back in 2010, The National went into the historic Austin City Limits studios and played for the first time. The Ohio bred boys did what they always do too, impress. Continuing what might be their best season of programming yet, ACL is airing the performance from The National this weekend, January 15th on PBS. Check your local PBS station for airtimes, set your DVR and get ready for a really fun hour long performance from Matt and the boys.

Above is a sketch photo from the session done by Austin Kleon, who was in attendance at the taping back in October. And below is video of the performance, let it whet your appetite for Saturday night.

Watch the full episode. See more Austin City Limits.

About Joe Long

Joe started ENS in 2003 after most people he wanted to talk to about music were worn thin by his ramblings. The outlet this site provided helped out, and somehow is still going 9 years later. After a four year stint as a WOXY DJ, Joe returned to Cincinnati and continues to pioneer ENS. In addition to the overall look and feel of the site, Joe provides regular reviews, and kinda makes sure this whole thing stays afloat.
