Death Cab for Cutie - Thank You for Today tour Live (Palace Theatre in St Paul, MN for The Current)

The Death Cab For Cutie stream will begin around 9 p.m. on Saturday, October 6. Since 1997, the rock group has been releasing songs that can easily get stuck in your head. From their first release,
to their most recent album 'Thank You For Today,' their music has made an impact on audiences around the world. Ben Gibbard’s vocals fill the tracks, punching through poetic lyrics. Nick Harmer is on bass guitar, Jason McGerr does drums, Dave Depper is on guitar and keyboard, as is Zac Rae. These five men create their own atmosphere within their music, allowing any type of fan to listen in and get something from it. It’s approachable rock with a lasting effect, which is probably why Gibbard was able to success with break off projects like The Postal Service.

What Sarah Said is one of the most gorgeous songs ever written in my humble opinion. I can't put into numbers how many times I've heard this song with misty eyes. Wait, I can: every single time I played it. <3

I just turned 64 this is one of the best bands I've ever heard in 60 years! Namaste!

Outdated comment on 4 yr old video but I wanted to say this.. I first heard DCFC going thru a bad breakup almost 20 years ago now (time flies).. the song "Soul Meets Body" was a nonstop go to for a long time.. I've seen DCFC live several times, mostly b4 Chris Walla left the band and once after. Ben Gibbard is an extraordinarily talented and multi-versatile musician and song writer. I honestly thought after Chris Walla left over different opinions about the Kintsugi album that Death Cabs best days were behind them. I liked Chris and watching him play a guitar and work the board or play keys all at once during shows was watching a true master. Absolutely incredible. That said, DCFC lives on thanks to Ben and his genius. The latest LP from last year, "Asphalt Meadows", is rich with the Indie bass riffs we all love. That said, the song, "Pepper", is my favorite from that album and Ben's vocals are on point.
What an incredible song writer. See ya in DC in September Ben!
P.S. If any of you found this 4 year old video and thought audio quality is questionable you're not wrong. They're way better live. not sure what happened 😕

I was offered a spare ticket to see these guys recently and I took it, despite knowing absolutely none of their songs. I was blown away by their pure songwriting talent and musicianship, not to mention the seductive and mesmerising stage lighting. I now have a new favourite band. DCFC are simply incredible.

Took my wife to see them at this show.  They've been her favorite band since high school (about 10-12 years), and this was her first time finally seeing them live.  It was never my favorite music to listen to when we were in her car, but it never bothered me.  After seeing them live, now I'm a fan too!  This was an EXCELLENT show!  Not only was it a joy for me to see my wife so happy, but I really enjoyed myself too!  Fantastic sound, and very unique lighting.  I can't wait to take her to see them again someday!  And I'm thrilled to have this show recorded for us to watch again.  I'm glad to say that Death Camp for Crunchie made a new fan out of me!

Like Jonie Michael says.... Touching Souls for you have touch mime, thank you so much for that.❤️ From one soul to another. 🙂👍🧘

Summer years brings back a lot of the early Death Cab vibes. I love that song.

[polimistik]

Absolutely love Pictures in an Exhibition (especially this live version). Chorus reminds me a lot of Nirvana, which is why I love the song even more. Cool!

[Ian_Koetting]

The first time I heard them live was life changing. Death Cab had been my favorite band for years and finally in October of 2018 in Dallas I saw them live (and at the very front about 10 feet from the stage); I was entranced the whole show, my wife (who isn't a fan) said watching me sing and cheer and smile through the whole show brought her just as much joy as she thought I was feeling. I felt like I was on a cloud when Transatlanticism, tears streamed down my face and I was just in absolute bliss. I love this band so much and cannot wait to see them again, you can bet I will be at every show in my area for as long as they grace us with playing.

After watching two weeks of Ben streaming, I feel like I'm watching a buddy of mine.

This is a masterclass in rock concert shooting & editing

[joshhogan]

What an amazing setlist. This performance of 60 & Punk is just so authentically powerful

[tsumichama]

One of the many things I love about this live is how Ben's energy here is giving the original tones of the songs a more optimistic twist. Like the studio versions (which I love) are melancholy, and here they sound more lighthearted and uplifting (which I also love). In a way it teaches you about perspective, like there's two ways to look at a sad song. And depending on your headspace, it gives you options for which version you're gonna listen to

[chriscast]

This setlist is truly incredible but watching him sing 60 & punk was worth watching this whole thing. How Ben sings that song is very honest and real. Death cab has been one of my favorite bands since Transatlanticism and through the evolution of their music they have truly found a way to be ever changing while still holding true to the roots that we all love. I still miss the old stuff and Chris Walla but this was amazing to watch.

i remember going to see Pedro the Lion somewhere in LA back in the mid 90s. the singer came out and said, "hey we met these guys in Seattle and we really liked their music so we invited them to come on tour with us...they're called Death Cab for Cutie." we liked them.

[markerworld]

First time I heard/saw DC was the video for Soul Meets Body I remember really liking it Then heard Possess Your Heart on the radio Then Equinox Then the final straw Follow You into the Dark It was then I FINALLY decided this band needed a deeper dive! I was hooked! In my not so humble opinion I truly believed these guys were the best band Alternative or otherwise to come along since R.E.M. Maybe the best in the modern era I've always been drawn to intellectual songwriting and they still have that market cornered Still have not seen them live But I will! Thanks for this video!

[hughsolorz]

Phenomenal, this metal head loves these guys, glad I discovered them by accident about 4 years ago, I was searching for new death metal bands, and there they were, I was hooked, I mean one can't go 100 miles an hour all the time, sometimes we gotta hit cruise control roll down the windows and enjoy, smell the flowers. Pit stops in life in a positive way. Thanks Death Cab. Forever on my playlist. Here's my go to bands in no particular order. Slayer, Pantera, Exodus, Napalm Death, Motorhead, Cro mags, Hatebreed, Death Cab for Cutie, also by good mistake Brian Jones town massacre, yes they had me at massacre lol

[jhuggz]

How Ben and dcfc manages to put such an energetic punch in these polite and poetically éloquent songs is nothing short of supernatural.

[tonniec.]

I'm so Thankful for YouTube, because of this right now.
