at about 8:55 AM the past tuesday and wednesday, the video for soul meets body was shown on vh-1.  that's way more death cab than i needed to hear.

Sunday.

Thanks to Bags I was able to make tonight's show. I thought Death Cab was great. I was at last year's show, and this show was much better. Last year, I thought the songs basically sounded just like their album versions. It was a perfectly serviceable concert, but nothing spectacular. What a difference a year makes! Death Cab put on a much more mature, varied, and impressive concert performance tonight.
 
 This was probably the best sounding 9:30 Club show of the year. My compliments to the sound engineers.
 
 I really enjoyed Stars. I was very impressed by the variety of songs they performed. I would have bought one or more of their CDs, but they were all $15. I don't understand why bands charge so much for their CDs at 9:30 Club concerts. CDs are at most $10 at Black Cat shows. $15 is simply too much. I can get these CDs for far less at any number of stores, online or otherwise. Anyway, I bought the Death Cab poster instead, one of the best concert posters I've seen in a while.

i have to say, $14 for a double shot of Jack was a fine bargain, considering it kept me from strangling the girl who stood next to me, dancing by twirling her hands in the air, owning her boyfriend, and talking about Ani Difranco (pronounced "annie") and how "she's so cool because she's, like, so left that she's left of left."
 
 anyway.
 
 genius idea, tbmtt, to go stand in the back, get piss drunk, and laugh at everyone.  we heard the music just fine, didn't need earplugs, didn't step on a 12-year-old by mistake, and had dancing space.  i loved hearing the old stuff - photobooth, etc.- and romanticizing the good old days.  Do folks remember the modest mouse/death cab show at the old black cat?  We were discussing who opened for whom, and whether it was sold out.  I say DCFC opened, and it wasn't sold out.  Either way, DCFC is now SOLD OUT.  in so many ways.  Oh, and they're getting a little chunky.  Must be that rich man's diet they're getting on.
 
 and the grand total bar tab was over $70.

what time did you guys get out of there last night? I'm coming from Williamsburg, and i've gotta decide whether to crash at a local friend's house for the night, or head back straight from the club.

were you back by the soundboard? there was a woman engaging in similar antics near us
 
 I also thought they were chunky! In general I was unmoved by the show - I like their music but more as background while I work music and it didn't work for me at all live, despite having, as Darth Ed said great sound
 
 I did something I don't think I've ever done at a gig...left early....

The show ended at 11:15...although it seemed to take 30 minutes to exit the club and I was standing near the back.  
 
 Very solid show and I agree that the sound was fantastic last night.  
 
 I would have loved to here a few more from the Stars...they didn't play Calendar Girl or Heart which was a disappointment.

I think it ended around 11:20 or so.

Anyone have Stars setlist? Mostly off Set Yourself On Fire?

I must say, I don't love sold out shows at the Club...(Social Distortion's going to be nuts, I have a feeling -- definitely shows vary in their annoyance, with Queens of the Stone Age being the most crowded I can recall...).  It's just a tad too crowded (versus the Ambulance Ltd sold out show Saturday that still had some breathing room).  I headed to the loo about 5 songs in, and just couldn't muster the gumption to try to push back up to where I'd been near Kurosawa and some other friends.  But, it's true, even at the very very back, the sound was great.  And I think they do put on a good show.  The music was great, the mix (both techical mix and set list) was great and diverse.  It's a Sunday, I've seen a lot of shows that past couple of weeks, I'm pretty beat, so I headed out during the last song of the encore.  But glad I went.  
 
 I enjoyed Stars too.  And like Ed, would have bought a CD but $15 is about $4 more than I'd probably pay other places.  While I usually prefer to buy CDs at shows because I have this notion that bands make more off of them, the dual pressure of the price and not knowing which of two to get kept me from buying them there.  Recommendations welcome...
