I don't really understand the obsession with standing the entire time for a band like DCFC. It's not like it's a huge dance party where everyone is rocking out and can't control themselves. Sometimes it's just nice to sit back, relax and listen.
No Death Cab Thread?

still, I am not sure about what people are thinking at all when they are sitting down during a concert.. that is so unbelievable to me.
What are the "bunch of shows" you have skipped?

I may just be too used to the whole club thing/whatever, but I get really irritated when people sit. And whenever I sit and hear live music, I always sit there feeling very jittery and wanting to stand. And I refuse to be That Guy (you know…the only one in the place standing?!)…so it really…just…sucks…

Modest Mouse and Bright Eyes.. and one or two others, but I can't remember which.
I just saw the show in NYC last night at Hammerstein, Franz Ferdinand absolutely blew Death Cab out of the water. I've seen them both before, and I don't think I'll pay to see Death Cab again until they release another spectacular album (which judging by Plans could be awhile). And I've been waiting for Franz to come back since their 9:30 show (summer 2004?), and had remembered them being so fun live. It was no contest.
NYC crowds proved to be just as chatty as D.C. crowds last night, but I think a lot of that had to do with their different fan bases. I can't imagine what it would have been like to see Death Cab after Franz like they did in D.C., the vibe would have been wicked off.

Originally posted by HomesickAlien:yeah…i went to Modest Mouse, but i skipped Bright Eyes (who i'm not a big fan of, but i desperately wanted to see the Magic Numbers) - you can guess just how pissed i was when i found out Jenny Lewis had been there.

there are a couple of others that i can't think of off the top of my head. and The Strokes, who are one of my favorite bands as well, i'm definitely not going to see there…
and i just missed Death Cab.
