Death Cab For Cutie & St. Vincent @ Radio City Music Hall - pics & setlist

Death Cab for Cutie played Radio City Music Hall in NYC on Monday night (10/6) – their second, large, headlining show in NYC in less than four months, though this one didn’t have to end early because of the weather.

“What a dump this place is,” quipped Death Cab for Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard, perched atop the magnificent stage at New York’s Radio City Music Hall last night. Then, unsure if people caught his sarcasm, he added, “No, really, this is an honor.”

That anxious, awkward moment capped the first third of Death Cab’s show, as both band and audience took their time acclimating to the legendary room. After the first five songs — an admittedly slow build-up that included “The Employment Pages” and “We Laugh Indoors,” two of the band’s older tunes — most of the 6,000 patrons at the sold-out gig remained seated, but not in a docile, complacent way: They were totally engaged, singing and bobbing atop Radio City’s plush cushions.

St. Vincent opened and it was Annie Clark’s second NYC show less than two weeks. More pictures and the setlist from the show below…
