Day 52 - Death Cab for Cutie!

Dear Death Cab for Cutie,

I'm in awe.

You guys are such solid performers. Clearly meticulous and perfectionistic, you manage to create such poignant yet clean, "full" sounding music live. Tonight's show was very impressive - 2 steady hours of back to back tunes, including 4 encore songs, and Ben even put on a solo drum show for us - what a treat!

Thank you for creating such heartbreakingly beautiful music. A lot of your songs have been featured in the soundtrack of my life, for which I am grateful.

Thank you for the incredible performance that will remain imbedded in my memory until I see you again.

  1. That drum solo was just cool, especially with the guitarist and bassist swapping instruments half way through and then swapping back near the end of the song!

    Gotta love that ridiculously awesome intro to I Will Possess Your Heart though :D.

    1. It's almost like Chris and Nick got bored and came up with some tricks!

      I can't believe they play the full album length every time...
