If you don't have a voice, don't take my money

I'm one of the guys who has been listening since the beginning....seen Death Cab several times too. I think Ben is a hell of a talent and was psyched to see this show but it was horrible. After the third song I turned to my wife and said "his voice sounds horrible". After the 4th song he announced he had no voice but was going to tough it through for us.

The guy mixing the show was obviously instructed to distort the music/vocals to hide his voice. I'm not mad at him for losing his voice but I am mad at him for still doing the show and not rescheduling.

If I knew who to ask for my money back I would but I probably wouldn't get it because he did put on a complete show.

Ben knows how bad this night is and I'm sure he'll be laughing about it 10 years from now how he gutted through it.....well someone owes me $160 for tickets because I feel ripped off

This show really blew me away. Both Ben Gibbard and Jenny Lewis sounded great. But not only was the music amazing the lighting that went along with the show was fantastic

Great sound system, wonderful to finally get to see the band after being a fan for several years. Ra Ra Riot opening was an excellent choice, nice to see a Brooklyn band on a major tour like this.

High-energy music that was a pleasure to dance to - vocals, synth and instrumentals were all spot on and the artists were upbeat and in a good mood.

This was very disappointing. We were in section 222, upper deck. The problem was the pounding bass made almost every song unbearable. It shook the seats and distorted every song. In the middle of the show I went down to the sound guys on the floor and told them the bass was 10 times too high, but they didn't change it. Maybe with their headphones on they couldn't tell? An usher or something said maybe it was just my section, which the speakers hit in a particular way. I doubt it. The opening act, Ra Ra Riot, was pretty good and there was no sound problem. Postal Service's show otherwise would have been pretty good, though they seemed to go through the songs too fast, or a little soullessly. A bad show can't change the fact that Give Up! is one of the greatest albums in history.

The Postal Service performed for more than an hour straight. They sounded amazing live. The only reason why I gave it four stars instead of five was because there were no screens for us to see them closer up.

The Postal Service is a good band but they have very few really popular songs (mostly from their one major album). I like their music and therefore enjoyed the concert. But due to lack of hits the crowd is not as lively all the time. Of course my last two concerts were Coldplay and Muse so I've set kind of a high bar. But they're decent. And for a $35 ticket totally worth.

After 10 years, these guys play like its only been a day. Never would have imagined the live performance would be as good as the album but I was wrong. They did all their songs, plus a couple new ones and a couple covers (couldn't tell which was which). Energy in the crowd was amazing - we've all been waiting a looooong time for this :D not too loud, either - in section 221 volume was nice and Barclay offers a great view from anywhere. Only complaint was the super loud thumping bass that often drowned out the music - surely that crap isn't intentional? It was great, though, Jenny and Ben are just awesome on stage and Ben is hilarious with his little dance moves. A+++++ show would see again!

The show was overall great. I really enjoyed the older songs they played, although some of the new songs were very good too. They did a great job with the lights, so even though I was sitting far away, it was still enjoyable to watch. Definitely glad I went.

Favorite moment: When Ben Gibbard was a champion and recovered from falling backwards over his sound guy during the encore. @

Opening act(s): The website should have reflected the correct time of the opening act. Again, very disappointed. @

I was really disappointed because the website said doors open at 7:30 and show starts at 8:30. I am a fan of Postal Service, but I was REALLY buying my tickets to see the opening act, Ra Ra Riot. I showed up around 8:20 and realized I missed almost all of Ra Ra Riot's set. I had a friend who also obtained tickets through Ticketmaster and also confirmed that the website showed that the show started at 8:30, which is why we showed up at 8:20. I hadn't bothered to check the ticket because my friend was under the SAME impression. I then realized the ticket said 8. I am very disappointed that the website did not reflect the appropriate time and was not more clear about when the opener would be playing. Postal Service didn't even go on until much past 8:30.

The music was great but Barclay's stops serving at 9:30pm! The band didn't even go on until after 9 so this was a shock.

Lighting was also amazing, not overdone and nothing to cause seizures. Fit with the music perfectly.
