Hey Seth

Seth, thanks for Death Cab. Really solid turnout, great set, and a lovely late summer evening. I brought 2 friends to Merriweather who always avoid bigger venues because of the hassles associated with them, and they thought it was a fantastic place to see a show. We had a great time.

I love to hear that thanks

I was gonna go but I lamed out

everyone said it was great

Ben is a super nice and normal guy btw

t'was indeed a great show.  perfect concert weather IMO, then again i'm canadian ;D

i expected the band to play all 11 songs off the new album and maybe 4-5 oldies.  instead it was the opposite.  some good sing-alongs too.  crowd was on the tamer side, 90% of the crowd in the pavilion remained seated throughout the show… but hey, it's Death Cab.  it's not like you should expect a mosh pit.

EitS were great, but i was expecting greatness so they didn't wow.  the expectation of greatness is a leftover of the brain-melter that was their 930 show back in 2006 (?).  still one of my all-time favs at the club.



thanks seth!

I got my friends onto the deck (one of the nicest perks from Friends with Benefits…but the ever-awesome Eddie hooked us up this time since I bought the tickets through the artist presale), which they loved. The nearby bathrooms and access to a full bar make it such a great way to see a show in a bigger venue like that. And the overall experience of trying to get in/out of Merriweather was ridiculously easy. It helped it was on a Sunday night too, but typically I don't have too many issues. Ben seems like a really good guy. His interview on Sonic Highways pretty much summed up what I'd expect…music is probably the most important thing to him. Glad to see such a nice turnout, that band deserves it.

Echoing the thanks the Seth for DCFC-

Whilst eating hush puppies from the VIP are BBQ truck on the VIP deck, I was explaining to my guest for that show that building the deck, having access for FWB members, tv monitors, a BBQ truck (with excellent hush puppies), etc., all are unnecessary for IMP to have done - everyone, or nearly everyone, would have come to the show for the band. It is so nice that IMP goes above and beyond for us folks.

Seth - Any Wilco possibilities this fall/winter - no show here since Americanarama in 2013. … and no headlining show since Wolf Trap in 2012?

you guys actually watch the show from the deck or do you view the show on TVs? I don't recall being able to see the band from up there.

Re: Wilco, I'd say this fall is out as their tour is announced and kicking off tomorrow.

Watched part of EITS from the deck on the TVs.
I think they could play an October/November/December date in the DC area if they wanted to do so. But I agree, unlikely.

Jenny Lewis just announced a small tour supporting a reissue of Rabbit Fur Coat.  Any chance you could bring her closer than New York City?

thanks for Ride..that was hot.

LUSH is reformed…  :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

It is not official (yet :) ).

My post should have read:

Lush is possibly reforming…  :o :o :o :o :o

Death In June please

We need a real "Surprise at the Club" show…something unexpected..a wow moment..something that makes you go "wow, didn't realize Seth was that unbelievably awesome…..did you hear who's playing the 930?"

Its probably to late to book Pope Francis although I hear he's hitting Philly and NYC…
