Death Cab Last Night

[plumtreeblossom]

I got to see Death Cab For Cutie last night at the Agganis Arena. The lovely goat joined me. We had dinner down the street at Brown Sugar and a chance to chat and catch up, then will full tummies went over to the arena.

I hate to sound like a fan grrl, but Death Cab was so wonderful. This was my first opportunity to see them live, with tickets bought through a special advance offer on Myspace. We had great seats, right on the floor and not too far back at all. A big tall guy was right in front of us, but that happens to me at every concert I ever go to, so I just take it in stride. The band sounded fantastic, they chose a great line-up, they were humorous and warm, and I love them with all my heart. I can't believe I never bothered listening to them in their earlier years simply because I didn't like their name.

The Cribs and Franz Ferdinand also played. I like Franz but am only familiar with their big radio hits, so most of their songs were new to me. I'm actually glad they went on 3rd because we were able to slip out before the encore and beat the teeming crowds. If it had been Death Cab closing I wouldn't have skipped the encore.

So good to get out and hear a favorite. Thank you goat for being my partner in crime!

Now I'm at work and have umpteen squirrely little things to do. I'd rather be home napping on this cloudily perfect nap day.

Oh, wow. I was there too only my tickets were free and I didn't stay for ANY of Franz because it was too loud and I had to work at 6 am this morning. Silly!

We noticed a good number of people left right after Death Cab. Franz whipped up the crowd by urging everyone to come down front, and a lot of people did. We were already close enough so we stayed where we were. I thought it was an odd matching, DCFC + Franz, but a great evening.
