I think the Death Cab show at the Greek theater was one of the best indie shows I have seen in a long time. Ra Ra Riot and Andrew Bird were incredible. Andrew Bird played during the rain and when he finished an enormous rainbow appeared over the back side of the theater. It was so huge you could see almost the whole thing, from beginning to end. Death Cab played a decent set with a lot of old songs and a few off their new EP. Ben was amazing as always and the lighting they had was just enough to set the perfect mood for each song. I would highly recommend this show.

Death Cab is the type of band that really makes magic come alive within their music. I'm happy I got to see them not once but two times. I saw them in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Oakland, California. Loved them to pieces both times. I have to say that their tour with Magik*Magik Orchestra was especially marvelous.

A real band gets you to zen out, enjoy a concert, and sucks you away from all your earthly problems. Death Cab delivers this and more.

I've had my share of bad concerts this year, and I can honestly reflect on how great Death Cab has always been. I'll definitely be seeing them when they're on tour again!

This is back to back years they've played at the amazing venue. Go to any show you can at this venue and go to anything that Death Cab plays at. Andrew Bird should have been better promoted as the opener. I've heard him for years and he is always great. I've enjoyed Bird more as a solo act than with a band, as him band sound gets a bit more complex and out of whack than it needs to be...but he's amazing and his band is very good. Death Cab have a fantastic balance of fresh newer songs (songs I didn't hear in the previous show, and a few songs I wasn't familiar with from older albums), and their best/newest stuff. Lastly, I love when bands are a couple years away from a new release. I think they tour the album less and their BODY OF WORK more. This is a good thing. Oh, also, they have great charisma and interact with the audience well -- while staying focused on music-first!!!

It was 100 degrees on stage at least and DCFC kept rocking! Great show! Also City and Colour was great too. In fact, this was my first time seeing City and Colour and Dallas Green is just fantastic. The only thing with the show at DTE was the sound system went out a couple of times in the heat. Yea, it was one hot night!

Death Cab for Cutie had a really good mix of songs. They really entertain the audience well, you can tell they are having a lot of fun, which always makes it easier to get into a show when you can tell the performers enjoy what they do and want to be there.

Death Cab for Cutie always puts on a quality performance, although I would appreciate it even more if Ben or other members would say more about the meaning behind the songs or tell us about themselves. The Ryman is an intimate place, although I liked it better last year when they played at a standing room venue. I could relax more and be closer to the stage.

Favorite moment: Ben came out, just him and an acoustic guitar, and played "I Will Follow You Into the Dark". @

Opening act(s): Surfer Blood. I was not impressed, but I think they're one of those bands that you really need to already know their songs before hand. The lead singer needs to work on his stage presense and his enunciation. I understood maybe 20 words from the whole 7-8 song set list. @

I am not a difficult woman to please, but when it comes to DCFC, my expectations were pretty high. They are my favorite band and considering all of the years that they have been making music and touring, I figured that they should have their act together by now. Well, these expectations were MORE than exceeded. Ben Gibbard had enough stage presense that there hardly seemed room enough for all of his fellow (incredibly talented) band mates. Honestly, I enjoyed them MORE live than I do listening to their recordings. Gibbard's voice is just as pure, and the music takes on a whole new personality when you can actually SEE it being made. Overall, I highly recommend this concert to any fan of DCFC, even the newer ones (I didn't know every song they played, but they did play all of my favorites) or anyone who is looking to discover them for the first time. You won't be able to help falling in love.

Oh, and Ben is looking FANTASTIC. I don't know what he's been doing, but it's working for him. Normally I don't go for men in skinny jeans, but he is looking better than he ever has!

This was way more than i expected. They get down and still manage to stay in tune and continue to produce good sound. I could've used more songs. I wish they played more songs , but it could be because I am fan.

Death Cab is one of my favorite bands. They're so cute. Ben Gibbard is cutee. and it was pretty amazing. until the end when my iphone was stolen. but that had nothing to do with the show. and then we meet the drummer of Death Cab, Jason Mcgerr. It was pretty sweettt.

This was the 2nd time I've seen Death Cab, the first I thought was pretty dry but I've come to appreciate them much more. This show was so amazing and beautiful. Within the first few songs, I began to cry. I don't even know why, the sound was perfect, the orchestra added such a nice feeling to the music. Just amazing! And the Beacon is the best

I had seen Death Cab before at the Bridgestone Arena but it was far better at the Ryman. It was a much more intimate setting and you got a good view wherever you were. Also, we got to meet the band because we ran into them in an alley beside the venue. So there were no crowds and we got pictures and autographs.

First off, they are from Seattle which makes them totally awesome (I'm from Seattle). Secondly, the music and performance was outstanding. Watching Death Cab performing live was wonderful! They are a great band with a unique sound. Loved seeing Ben sing and play; he has a very unique voice and styling and their songs are so original.
