Rome is the definitive new live album from The National. Recorded (without overdubs) on June 3, 2024 at the architecturally stunning venue Parco Della Musica Ennio Morricone (named after the iconic film director).

The 21-track 2LP set showcases scintillating versions of beloved songs like “Bloodbuzz Ohio”, “Don’t Swallow the Cap”, “I Need My Girl”, “The System Only Dreams in Total Darkness,” “England” and “Fake Empire”.

Other highlights include sharpened readings of recent tracks “Eucalyptus,” “New Order T-Shirt,” “Tropic Morning News” and the boundary pushing “Smoke Detector”.
