Death Cab for Cutie brings back memories of simpler times. Ben Gibbard is a musical mastermind and one of those rare talents whose live performance is just as if not more ethereal as his recordings.
You never know what to expect from a live performance and I can happily say that Death Cab for Cutie do not disappoint! I had the chance to see them perform at the world renowned Fox Theater in Oakland.
The lights, ambiance and of course sound were on point. Read more. Report as inappropriate. The band has no issues packing out auditoriums and venues on both sides of the Atlantic with their powerful live show.
From the opening proud riffs of 'I Could Possess Your Heart', the loyal fans sing back the chorus in time with the band as they tear through a variety of picks from over the years. Premiering new material in the form of 'Black Sun', the audience is receptive to this as the band tease the new eighth album.
The biggest cheer of the night perhaps goes to 'You're A Tourist', an indie anthem that sounds fresh within the set. Whilst the finale combination of 'Soul Meets Body' and 'The Sound Of Settling' make for aggressive fist pumping and even moderate moshing before the band disappears to cheers for encore. They return much to the crowd's delight and play UK hit single 'I Follow You Into The Dark' and the title track of 's 'Transatlanticism' which is considered their most critically acclaimed album.
Honestly, last night was underwhelming. I really love their music, and have seen them before. But last night there was no energy. Which is crazy for playing at red rocks, the whole place should be full of energy. They started really slow with no introduction, the first two songs on the new album. Ben's voice was off, for the new songs especially. It seemed like they were more of a jam band than anything. They played 'i will possess your heart', which is great, abiet long.
Then they played one song a little later that was easily 15 minutes long, which lost all, if any left, momentum from the crowd. The setlist was okay, everything you really wanted to hear was in the encore, which I think should have been spaced out a little more. I left before it started and just heard it in the distance because I was about to fall asleep from lack of presence.
Death Cab always brings the crowd to it's knees. Their sound has progressed in a more poppy way over the years, but it's the old nostalgic songs that they lean on in every show to connect with the audience and then ultimately, tear them open. On top of that, they sound a lot bigger and louder than you would expect from their albums. There is always some sort of unique experience, too.
Whether it's jamming out at the end of a random song for 15 minutes, bringing extra musicians or instruments on stage, or even by touring with a full experimental orchestra, DCFC shows are always memorable and powerful.
Lastly, lead singer Ben Gibbard can really pluck at your heartstrings with a good acoustic set. If you want to feel something when you go to a show, DCFC won't let you down. Absolutely smashing. What a great show - a complete retrospective of Death Cab For Cutie. Great songs, great energy, great performance - it was literally non-stop, and the audience loved it.
This show was fantastic. The band played a great balance of songs from their new album and their back catalog, including most of their radio hits. It was also a beautiful show--the lighting design was perfect for their style of music and avoided bright spotlights in favor of color LED washes and moving lights, along with some gorgeous effects on the screen behind them.
Also, HRL is probably the best venue of its size in town for sound, and this concert was no exception--even the loudest moments were crisp and clear. Overall, just a wonderful experience seeing a band I've loved for years.
It was an amazing performance at such an amazing venue! Death Cab bursted through an entire catalog of music unscathed by the cheering fans! They even told us to stand up because everyone were content sitting down watching them that they had to get us up and moving. There show went through a catalog of the different era's of the band! There moments are always at a climax, for such soft subtle material they really know how to make jam out!
I Will Possess Your Heart was there closer of the set before the encore, first time i seen the full version before, and they jammed Nobody was going absolutely wild, no violence whatsoever, etc so the atmosphere was wonderful.
Speakers were the exact right volume, stage was set up so there was space for everything and I think everyone could see. Overall the gig was brilliant! Death cab put on a great show! Their performance was top notch.
The venue sucked but was still a blast. My only complaint is that the people who attended must have never been to a concert before. It was like a USO show and all the soldiers were standing at attention. Have fun! Let loose! I love you Ben Gibbard! Amazing voice, amazing musician, and an incredible performer! Shame on you Mankato for a poor showing of support. Really amazing to hear them live as opposed to on the album, they played more or less continually, just a few comments from the singer here or there, often while they're still playing.
Big walls of sound, just immense soundscapes that grew, tangled up, and then resolved. There was a little problem with the monitors going out, but the band finished with in-ear monitors.
Not sure why they didn't just play the whole thing with in-ear monitors, they sound even better when they can hear themselves.
