Death Cab for Cutie Tickets

I thought both Tegan and Sara and Death Cab for Cutie were amazing live! I love the energy and the way they interacted with the audience. Tegan and Sara's awkwardness on stage was adorable. They were funny and I would definitely go to another one of their concerts. The same goes to DCFC. I loved them. I love the way they presented themselves and the LA Philharmonic was a bonus. Death Cab should definitely put out a live album with the Philharmonic. Bottom line, phenomenal!

Death Cab played a great mix of songs. Every time I thought they had played all of my favorites, they pulled out another song I had forgotten about. The acoustic numbers - "Follow You into the Dark" for example - were great. I really enjoyed singing along to their hits. The half of the show that they played with the LA Phil was a treat as well. Overall it was a great show.

The concert was great, my only disappointment was that it was short. They started around 8:50 and ended at around 10:15, I guess the people that lives in those hills has more power than I thought.

venue - amazing bands - amazing process - amazing byo - amazing one of the most memorable concerts I've ever been in my life.

Death Cab for Cutie played flawlessly, sounding just as their albums. However, after the first half of the concert, the L.A. Philharmonic's role in the second half destroyed the band. I am a fan of all music sorts, but the L.A. Philharmonic did not embellish upon Death Cab for Cutie's sound, they interrupted it. Already soft vocals were drowned out by droning trumpets at completely inappropriate moments. This collaboration was a shame, as it did the band no justice whatsoever. The concluding fireworks were beautiful, choreographed to the music. However, the L.A. Philharmonic sadly put a damper on the show as a whole.

I tend to love most concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. You can bring in your own food and drink, you are outdoors and everyone around you is happy. Tegan and Sara definitely brought in the vast majority of the LA lesbian population. And Deathcab was awesome. The last few songs were a combination of Deathcab and the LA Philharmonic which was different and nice and the last song also included a choreographed fireworks show which was awesome!

The New Pornographers didn't really seem to have stage presence even though they had the most people on stage. Unfortunately, they were just getting warmed up and into it when their set was just about done. But Tegan and Sara were awesome! Cute, and showed lots of personality through story-telling and joking with the audience. They seemed really comfortable on that stage and destined for longevity. Sound was pretty perfect on both the poppier and quieter songs. Overall, great performances by them. The La Phil was great as always but somehow the sound was a little off because you couldn't hear DCFC's lyrics on some songs and the sounds just weren't that crisp. Which was a shame since you could tell they were playing their hearts out and really enjoying themselves. Possess your Heart did sound perfect though. No problem there and the crowd loved it. I kind of just figured it's Sunday, the day after the Fourth so I didn't even bargain on there being any pyrotechnics but it was pretty spectacular! At first, there were just sparklers around the clamshell and then out of nowhere...fireworks shooting up from behind. It just got better and better with the music in synch with the sequencing...or was it the other way around? Anyways, that was an awesome show!!

Death Cab for Cutie are spot on live. They played a great mix of old and new songs, and the fans were all singing along. The LA Phil playing with Death Cab really enriched the music as well, and the fireworks show along with the closing number, "Transatlanticism," was incredible. Definitely a band very worth every penny to see. Tegan and Sara were also great live. They performed very well, and I got hooked on their songs even though I hadn't really listened to them much before. Their stage banter was funny and endearing as well.

The show was fantastic! Love going to the Hollywood Bowl, bring your own food and wine and enjoy the music.

amazing! their first half of the set they warmed up with some of their older material and worked on building the audiance up for what was about to happen. they opened with "Marching Bands of Manhatten" and "Your Heart is an Empty Room", and then rocked out on 2003's "The New Year", needless to say, thats when the show really started. Ben Gibbards long hair flying around with every lyric completed, and bassist Nick Harmer really getting into the feel of what he was playing, you could tell that these guys were more than happy to be playing the bowl. When the band is having fun, you know the audiance is going to pick up on that. and you could physicaly feel the vibes just floating throught the air. they also got into other such hits such as "Crooked Teeth", "President of What?", "Photobooth", and a song dedication to the New Pornographers, playing No Sun Light. they then went into a haunting/powerful version of "I will Possess Your Heart", one of my personal favorites. So much raw emotion flooding out of every one of them onsatge! they then went into one of their newer tunes from the Open Door EP, "Little bribes" (which by the way you should also check out the official fan video for the song by a mr. ching. really super cool!) and followed that with "Cath..." and "The Sound of Settling" before Ben announced that they were going to take a small break. after taking about 5 or 10 minutes for the symphony to set up, Ben began with his little heartfelt promise of "I Will Follow You Into the Dark" fully supported by the symphony. pure magic. the rest of the songs that followed are as listed; "You Can Do Better Than Me", "Grapevine Fires", "Title and Registration", "Movie Script Ending", "Soul Meets Body", and "Transatlanticism". this was the third show that i have been to at the Hollywood bowl where the symphony has backed a band, and while Beck was incredible, as was Belle & Sebastian, i have to admit that Death Cab took the cake on working with the symphony. And before i forget, Mr. Campbell does a wnderful job as the conducter.

What a show! Missed a bit of The New Pornographers, as the show started uncharacteristically early, buth they sounded nice. Sara and Tegan were pleasantly wonderful and was an unexpected delight. Death Cab started with a bang and did a set on their own. Played just the right mix of hits and others. After a quick break, they came out with the LA Phil, which was impressive looking, although it took a bit for the two groups to get a groove going. An overall amazing show, marred only by the fact that at 10:15, there was no chance for an encore with the house lights coming up much too quickly.

This concert was all I hoped it would be with a great first set by the band alone followed by all of my Death Cab favorites accompanied by the LA Phil. I didn't think it could get any better when the fireworks began - definitely a bonus and beautifully choreographed to Transcendentalism. One of the best concerts I've been to at HB.

I am a 50+ year old woman and took my teenage daughter and her friend to see this concert. I was a bit skeptical as to whether it would be something I would enjoy. I was pleasantly surprised with the opening of the concert with the New Pornographers; it was a great warm-up. We liked the song Teenage Techno the best. Then Tegan and Sara rocked the house and things got even better for the opening of Death Cab. These two young women can play guitar and sing with great enthusiasm with their original lyrics. Death cab was outrageous with every song sung, and then when joined by the LA Philharmonic it intensified up to the last song with the fireworks! We all enjoyed every minute that we were there.

death cab,tegan and sara, the new pornographers, and fireworks made for a good mix making it a great concert. The new pornographers were super good, tegan and sara were hilarious :), and death cab with the symphony were amazing!!!!! GOOD OVERALL :)

My husband and I took our 13 year old daughter to this event for her first rock concert. I think she (and us) will remember it for a long time. The venue, the beautiful weather, the full moon were wonderful window dressing to some great music. The orchestra playing with Death Cab underscored the power of their song writing. Of course the finale with fireworks just put it over the top!

The fireworks were a complete surprise and definitely topped off an already amazing show. Who couldn't love Death Cab For Cutie with the LA Philharmonic? It was so moving.

the first band that played was horrible, and the second was a little better. But, death cab for cutie was amazing. they played great songs, interacted with the audience, and overall...put on an amazing performance. what made the show for me, was the fireworks that were lit off during the last song. this was an amazing concert, and I look forward to seeing them in the future!!!

the finale of the show is all i can remember because it just overpowered everything. they played transantlanticism with the philharmonic and fireworks that went perfectly with the song, not a single dud from what i could see. completely unbelievable.

As a fan of Death Cab and Tegan & Sara I could not have been any happier at this show! IT was incredible and seeing the LA Philharmonic with such an amazing band was incredible. The fireworks at the end of the show made it unforgettable. Great job to all the bands!

Much bigger sound than previously. Band did not meld well with LA Phil though nice idea.
