Several days since their incredible show at the Mann Center in Philadelphia, we are happy to give a few words about Death Cab for Cutie's performance. We wish we took better pictures but we won't dwell on that. If you really want pictures, check out Pitchfork's take on the show.
Amid a crowd still marching to the hum of Rogue Wave, Ben Gibbard, Nick Harmer, Jason McGerr and Chris Walla strolled across the large stage to take their place. Opening with "Bixby Canyon Bridge" as the cover to their Narrow Stairs album hung behind them the thousands in attendance constantly sang along.
Although their new album boast a bunch of great songs, DCFC stuck with what the fans wanted: tons of Plans, Transatlanticism and the favorites from The Photo Album and We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes. It turned out to be phenomenal.
While Gibbard hung out and went crazy playing his guitar while serenading the audience, Walla moved between the guitar and the piano as well as providing backup vocals. As one of the people I talked to at the show said, "Is this the CD or the live show? Can't tell."
Truly a must-see group for hardcore DCFC fans or just a casual fan of a few of their songs.
