Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats supported their third studio album The Future with a few performances in New York City this month. The band performed a powerfully packed 24-song-set at Radio City Music Hall followed by a stop at Studio 6B for The Tonight Show a couple of days later.
As the Night Sweats ramped up for their opener “Look It Here” off the band’s self-titled debut album, Nathaniel greeted the crowd with “How’s everybody doing tonight?” pausing to take in the crowd’s roar from a sold out Radio City Music Hall. “It’s a pleasure to be here with you, my name is Nathaniel, we’re here with the Night Sweats, and we sold this place out, thank you!” The band went on to play a well-balanced set with songs across all three of their studio albums, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats (Self-titled), Tearing at the Seams, and The Future, along with a few covers.
As the band wrapped their eighth song of the night, “So Put Out”, Megafun’s Phil Cook joined Shusterman’s side on stage while Rateliff addressed the theater. “We have an EP coming out to follow up the record.” Rateliff shared, “…and we did another variation of one of the songs off that record called “What If I“. It was mostly Phil’s arrangement and Phil is a good friend and a big part of our family.” In addition to the remixed “What If I”, Phil came back to support Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats with “Out on the Weekend” and their closing song, “I Need Never Get Old”. The audience’s enthusiasm shook Radio City the entire evening, especially for the group’s three-song-encore.
Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats will complete their run supporting The Future at Austin City Limits Music Festival mid-October. To close out the year, the group will headline their “7th Annual, 10th Annual Holiday Show” at Denver’s Ball Arena on December 16 with special guests Marcus Mumford and Hermanos Gutiérrez.
