Death Cab for Cutie was formed in Bellingham, WA in 1997 and almost immediately entered the ranks of the era's definitive bands, fueled in large part by the remarkable power of co-founder, lead vocalist, songwriter, and guitarist Benjamin Gibbard's complex, often bittersweet songcraft. The band made their worldwide popular breakthrough with 2003's RIAA Platinum certified Transatlanticism, later named by NPR as one of "The Decade's 50 Most Important Recordings." Plans, their 2005 Atlantic Records debut, saw Death Cab for Cutie ascending to even greater heights, earning RIAA platinum certification and a GRAMMY® Award nomination for "Best Alternative Album" while spawning the chart-topping singles, "Soul Meets Body," "Crooked Teeth," and "I Will Follow You into the Dark," the latter of which was honored with a GRAMMY® nod for "Best Pop Performance By Duo Or Group With Vocals."

Death cab was amazing (of course), and the venue was phenomenal! Clean, service was great at the bar, and entry was quick and efficient.
The light show was perfect!! Everything about the night was amazing!! I’ve seen Death Can many times and will see them many more!!
They gave it their all and the audience loved it. The light show was fantastic. The sound was perfect. Not too loud. Most of the band was better than I ever remembered. There were tears in the audience because they were so good!
What an amazing show! The energy the band brought tonight was through the roof. I've seen quite a few DCFC shows over the years and haven't experienced this high of energy level. So cool to see a band that's been around for decades still truly loving what they do. The stage lighting was noticeably rad, too!
Transatlanticism was the final song, that’s all you need to know.
Such a fun night with a great band! Loved the personal connection the band has to Seattle!
Ben and the Boys put on a great show to round out the two nights in Seattle. They were ON for 2 1/2 hours!!! Staff was polite and security handed my kids water as it was warm on the floor. It was my sons 14th bday and one he’ll never forget! Thank you to Death Cab for Cutie and the Paramount!
I have been a fan of DCFC for over 20 years and saw them the first time at UC Irvine back in the early 2000s but I really like seeing them in smaller venues like this. We saw them last year at the large Climate Pledge Arena when they opened the venue with Foo Fighters and then the next night in Portland at the tiny Wonder Ballroom. This show had the intimacy of the Wonder Ballroom but the benefit of a slightly larger venue and crowd. The set list covered almost all of Asphalt Meadows (which I like more and more every time I listen to it) and also included some greatest hits. We went both nights and I liked the second night set list better mainly because it ended with Transatlanticism (probably the best DCFC song of all times and an epic end to the show and the tour). There are some bands that, after I see them a few times, I feel fulfilled but with DCFC, I cannot seem to get enough. These were two great shows in a good venue.
Been meaning to see them since I was like 15. The show was amazing
Whoever was in charge of the lighting design for this show is incredible. DCFC gave an great performance as always - no surprise, but never at a concert have I been so blown away by the stage lighting. The number of spotlights in such better colors and patterns - particularly during “Northern Rights” is truly remarkable. The person responsible deserves a round of applause. Also, I enjoyed seeing them at the Paramount as it is such a nice venue.
Good songs, good performance, really enjoyed the whole show.
ive seen Death Cab for Cutie two times before, and this was absolutely their best concert yet! the Paramount is an awesome venue, the crowd was energetic, the band was sooo happy to be performing for us... I can hardly wait to see them again!!
Death Cab did such an amazing show on the first night, we returned for the second nights performance! Night 2 was fantastic too! I’ve seen them perform many times over the last 20 years always good but this time was exceptional! The Paramount Theater managed both nights sold out shows professionally!
Great Venue and first time seeing DCFC and they were awesome
I have seen Death Cab a couple of times and they are always great, but this show was phenomenal! I can’t stop thinking about Ben’s performance, the energy the band displayed was awesome. The light show in the back complimented the music perfectly. I would actually love to go see it again right now! They played almost every song I wanted them to play, minus “Title and Registration” and “What Sarah Said.” I highly recommend this concert!
great show. of course, i loved the old stuff. new tuff was great too!
Spectacular show as always! Great new tunes off of the new album. Come back to the Bay soon!
A few girls shoved in front of my friend and I, but that's pretty typical for a concert. Otherwise it was a phenomenal experience!
One of my favorite bands at one of my favorite venues. As I get older, I find myself picky about sound quality. So many shows where you can't hear the singer. While I enjoy DCFC's music, what I love are the lyrics and the quality of Ben's voice that simply doesn't come through on recordings. I was NOT disappointed. The sound at Fox theater was impeccable and Ben is as wonderful as always!
Having never seen Death Cab for Cutie live before, I had set my expectations a bit low because I think of them as a studio band who is frankly getting on in years. But they put on a dynamic and tight performance, with excellent sound and an awesome light show. I was especially impressed with Gibbard’s crystal clear vocals, which were pitched perfectly despite his constant dancing. Bravo!
