Reactions to the news that the National were to play their song "Sorrow", from 2010's High Violet, for six hours straight as part of MoMA PS1's Sunday Sessions were pretty evenly split between frenzied embrace and repulsion. For the former camp, video has now surfaced from the performance, where they ended up playing the song 105 times in front of a swirling dry ice display*.* For the latter, be thankful that there's only 42:34 of decent footage to watch so far; check it out below, along with the show's setlist.

Fan reports suggest the band played it pretty straight for the most part, though one clip below shows drummer Bryan Devendorf sitting out a rendition. Again: six hours.

The National's tour in support of their forthcoming album, Trouble Will Find Me (due May 20/21 on 4AD) starts this month. Good luck to anyone hoping to hear "Sorrow" on those setlists.
