  In January 2008, when The National performed "About Today" in Germany, they were riding the wave of increasing recognition following the release of their album "Boxer" in 2007. "Boxer" marked a significant step in the band’s evolution, featuring introspective lyrics and a more polished sound that garnered critical acclaim and boosted their profile in the indie rock scene. The band's performance in this recording showcases their signature melancholy and intricate instrumentation, elements that were beginning to define their style. Notably, "About Today" has become one of their standout tracks, often highlighted for its emotional depth. During this period, The National was starting to build a substantial fan base internationally, laying the groundwork for their subsequent successes, including their later acclaimed albums like "High Violet" released in 2010.
