We’ve already hipped you to how cool Old Style Guitars is, and how rad it was that indie-band-with-integrity-of-the-moment The National played an intimate, secret show there for the shop’s grand opening. The thrill of seeing The National play in the sunshine on a loading dock with just thirty-forty Silverlake hipsters in attendance was a hard-to-believe moment… But now there’s proof!

This video on YouTube captured the event’s essence with iPhon cinema-verité élan. It features The National playing their biggest hit, the Barack-candidacy classic “Fake Empire,” with intense, stripped-down delicacy and, believe it or not, humor. “This is the Dave Matthews version,” they exclaim from the makeshift stage when the gee-tars just get a little too jazzbo, and it’s a perfect moment, one that pretty much encapsulates the entire experience of being there.
