As usual these guys are a blast! though the new pornographers were ok alot better then last time i saw them cause they were totally out of time. I've seen both twice, the first was at Sasquatch festival which is what really got me into them. Death cab put on a solid show with an amazing encore with very few mistakes. I love them cause their storytelling in very well put together!

death cab was very good for the 20 minutes or so that they played. It was the only time that a band at edgefield that was done before the sun went down. If I ever run into any of the band on the street i'm going to ask for my money back.

Ben Gibbard and company took the stage at the Coliseum in Vancouver, BC on Thursday July 16 for a fantastic night of thirty-something angst. They enthusiastically played their hits from previous albums and new songs from their latest EP, The Open Door.

Ben's constant swaying to a different rhythm than laid down by band mates Nick Harmer (bass) and Jason McGerr (drums) somehow kept him focused on the music while Chris Walla filled out the wall of sound with layers of guitar and keyboard work. The sparse stage was lit by an excellent light show that moved through waves of primary and secondary colors mixed with islands of white.

The audience was fixated on every word and sang along with the band throughout the night. The encore opener of I Will Follow You Into The Dark was reminiscent of a campfire sing-along with 15,000 of your best friends.

Personal favorites included Marching Bands of Manhattan, Title and Registration and I Will Possess Your Heart. Another excellent concert in Vancouver and a great way to experience music. Check my blog at bc2.ca/bc2blog for complete review and photos.

The sound was great, Ben Gibbard sounded amazing, the screens behind the stage and the lighting were simple, yet effective. Ra Ra Riot and The New Pornographers were really good as well.

We got their early enough to have a nice seat for the show. Ra Ra Riot and The New Pornographers did excellent jobs opening up. Death Cab played a great set with good energy. Excellent encore. Drove down from B.C. to see them and well worth it.

Death Cab for Cutie in Vancouver was an amazing show! They kicked off the show with a bang, got the crowd moving and made sure the fans got into it and had a good time. It's awesome to see a band you love live and be even more impressed with them; it makes you realize these guys truly are talented and amazing musicians that can deliver. Little bribes, grapevine fires and I will follow you into the dark were definitely the best. Only criticism was they could have played longer.

I'm a moderate fan of Death Cab for Cutie, I mean, I don't know every song, but I listen to them a few times a week. So I got the tickets for a friend and I to go and it was an amazing show. The best part was the encore, when the entire stadium was singing "I'll Follow You Into The Dark". So beautiful! Would have liked to see it at a better venue though. Not a fan of the Pacific Coliseum

I wish that Carl and co. headlined this show (even without Neko). They played an excellent selection of tunes from Twin Cinema -- "The Bleeding Heart Show'' was excellent as a closer. That being said, they could have been louder and had better lighting.

Death Cab were okay. I don't think they know which songs work well with the arena audience. Why save "Follow You Into the Dark" and "Soul Meets Body" until the encore. Ben's banter was homorous, but ironically so -- at least I know now that when the wild fire is coming down on me I should just sit there and sway my hands in peace.

Missed Ra Ra Riot.

Ra Ra Riot was pretty good, not really mixed well or loud, which was expected for the opening band.so that was rad. the new pornographers were alright, nothing special...
death cab came on and I wans't expecting anything spectacular because the sound hadnt been amazing so far in the night..they opened up with 3 old songs and were incredible.. the entire night they played a complete range of their music and had a really good stage presence.
it was unbelievable!
they then ended off the night with an acoustic "i will follow you into the dark", then "marching bands of Manhattan", and closed the night off with an epic "transatlantisism."
The atmosphere was unreal!

Death Cab for Cutie put on a very energetic performance in Vancouver. The sound quality was excellent and the band had the audience squeeling with delight as they played the various favourites from their albums. They generously came back on stage for a three song encore after the show at the insistent clapping and stomping by the crowd. The lead singer did a beautiful solo with guitar following which the other band members came back to join him on stage for two more songs. The intro bands also put on excellent performances and the whole concert was a beautiful experience.

This was my first time seeing them live and it was great. I wasn't expecting much, but I also wasn't blown away. Had a good light show, the sound was great, and the band had great energy.
I was a little weirded out by the amount of 14-16 year olds who were at the show. I didn't know DCFC had that sort of following.
I would definitely recommend people go out and see them although I think this may have been their last show of this tour.

Shame we got there at the crack of 7pm as we had to endure two hours of 'meh' before Deathcab. However, it was definitely worth the wait as they were fantastic.

Minimal background visuals, some questionable dance moves and the least amount of banter I've ever heard at a concert - but the entertainment value was all there. Ben Gibbard's voice is bang on and the band was really tight. You can tell they spend the better part of their lives touring. Streaming from one song to the next in rapid succession, you get your money's worth and more by the set list alone.

Good times.

...and wasn't disappointed! I was impressed by the various stories that each song presented, and wouldn't imagine them any other way than from the voice of the lead singer. His tone/pronunciation is very unique.

Overall they put on a wicked show and I would probably go see them again if they returned to Vancouver.

I didn't like the opening bands and was tempted to escape
but was overjoyed that I didn't when Death Cab came on.
I was delighted with their performance and found that they
ACTUALLY sounded better than they do on their CD!
Which is amazing. Most live performances are far worse than recorded.
The lead singer's voice proved to be great in concert and he even hit
the high notes well. Overall an amazing experience.
