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.

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.

[@mariafietta6864]

I love U guys. Amazing vocal and Band. Live performance as perfect as the one in studio 🎉I need to visit Seattle ❤

[@ConsciousRobot]

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

[@joshhogan171]

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

[@caseystelken3849]

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!

[@bsmart0814]

Death camp for crunchie? Lol

[@apton77]

Very nearly the same experience for us! This was a great show and we hope to see many more!

[@drrcm81]

Been listening to 'em for about 15 years. Gonna take my wife to see them this summer. I hope she'll understand why I've been a fan for so long.

[@ericcarrillo1294]

Billson Gilberts Thee old, ive been a fan longer comment. The, their first album is the best, or, I’ve been a fan since xx and it’s good to see them getting popular comments. You are so cool man.

[@flwi]

Death camp for crunchie 😂 Why did this remind me of my chiropractor?

[@hughsolorz5184]

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

[@leftcoastgal5134]

I love that you found them by searching the word “death”😂

[@mountainclimber110]

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 😕

[@jtotheb-ip2hh]

i remember going to see Pedro the Lion somewhere in LA waaaaaaay 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.

[@JesseNorellMusic]

Same here! Saw then open for PTL at the small 7th Street Entry. Gibbard was playing bass for Pedro!

[@Rundm3p]

Yes David Bazan open the doors for them back in the mid 90s.

[@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

[@chriscast04420]

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.

[@RigzDigz]

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

[@leftcoastgal5134]

Yea, he’s so down to earth. Loved his pandemic solo gifts to us all.

[@MrIanMatthew]

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.

[@sinmrl]

I was at that show and the experience was amazing!!!

[@pandajay106]

Felt every word of this :)) Could not agree more. I'm simply giddy and entranced at their live shows, and almost always cry haha. DCFC has such a special place in our hearts and cannot wait to see them live again and again and again.

[@stevonub]

Jason is a beast on drums!! That end on What sarah said,OMG,what a legend.

[@jhuggz6024]

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

[@danf4236]

Such a polished performance. Still loving DCfC in 2020!

[@tonniec.1032]

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

[@markerworld5912]

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!

[@amandalang2684]

Just killer. So good. Where the hell have I been?!

[@davidg9165]

Such moody and absolutely beautiful music. Ive loved these guys for years.

[@user-hj3to5ed9g]

Beautiful jam with band mates...

[@bluebirdbeetle1202]

I just want to give a HUGE shout out to Jason McGerr for those amazing drums on Transatlanticism. It's one of those songs that has so much depth that you would think it wouldn't translate well in a concert setting. I was pleasantly blown away. It almost brought tears to my eyes.

[@bluebirdbeetle1202]

UPDATE: My 15 year old also likes DCFC, so he and I went to the concert in Seattle a couple days ago. Totally unprompted by me, he said "Wow, that drummer was awesome, I wanna start learning to play" (The drums I bought him TWO years ago have been collecting dust in the corner of his room). Side note: By the end of the concert he also said he wasn't feeling well. I figured it was because we were standing next to the speakers and the bass was vibrating us the whole time. After a while I started to get a little green myself. Turns out it wasn't the speakers. He had to have an emergency appendectomy last night.

[@ParadoxAssassin]

Incredible! Thanks for sharing the experience

I was lucky enough to have seen Death Cab for Cutie live back when I was in college. My school would do a yearly concert towards the end of the year. My freshman year was Blink 182, and the next year was Death Cab. They are honestly one of the most underrated bands out there.

[@roberterdman7268]

Just saw them a couple hours ago in Atlanta. They spent a long time sound-checking, came on and nailed it. Wonderful show. He let us sing a verse of I will follow you into the Dark, he looked at us like, "you got that, sounded good". Kind of Choir, Choir! meets Death Cab. Fabulous band that has a devoted following in ATL.

[@NESADDICT]

Just saw them in Atl last night and missed the first 5 songs so I'm making up for it now.

[@daraamadea4413]

I discovered Death Cab in 2007 when I was 13 at a record store that does not exist anymore in my hometown. The precocious child in me was intrigued by the bleak undertone of Death Cab's lyrics. Fast forward 13 years later, I still cry listening to their songs. As you get older, with all the disillusionment of how you thought life would be and how it ended up being, Death Cab lyrics hit you different. To some extent, I feel understood. Less alone. Maybe life is supposed to be this way. It's been my dream to watch Death Cab live, but too bad I live in Indonesia and as it happens to be, not a lot of people know about Death Cab. Maybe in some other lifetime.

[@CarlosAlvarez-ll3xc]

I couldn't agree with you more. DCFC just puts my mind and heart on rewind and all the 'what ifs' start playing through my mind. My son introduced me to their music when he was in middle school. He's 30 now and we still talk about and share DCFC discoveries. This concert being one of them!

[@douglaswilke8582]

My word of advice..See them in an indoor venue..They are playing at The Sylvee in Madison this fall.That will be an amazing show.i saw them at Summerfest in Milwaukee a month ago. Like I've told my friends, If they would have had Marshall Tucker Band's sound system, that concert would've been a 9.5.

[@lostreprise]

@@douglaswilke8582 I'm sorry for the late reply. But thank you so much for taking your time to leave a comment and for sharing your experience. And yes, an indoor venue will definitely be a great place to see them live. Unfortunately, I live pretty far away, but for now I will save up to travel and see them someday ^^

Saw them again a few weeks later at the Ryman in Nashville, then again at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville with Frightened Rabbit opening. Amazing all 3 times. So much respect for Ben as a songwriter. He's one of the best to ever do it, IMO. They'll always be one of favorite bands!
