Death Cab for Cutie

On July 11, 2009, Death Cab for Cutie delivered a mesmerizing live performance of 'Transatlanticism' at the William Randolph Hearst Greek Theatre in Berkeley. At this point in their career, the band was riding the wave of their 2008 release, 'Narrow Stairs,' which had not only solidified their place in the indie rock scene but also propelled them into mainstream success. Interestingly, 'Narrow Stairs' debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, marking a high point for the band. This live recording captures the emotional depth and articulate songwriting that Death Cab is known for, resonating with fans both old and new. The ecstatic response from the Berkeley audience speaks volumes about their connection to the music, underlining how 'Transatlanticism,' originally from the 2003 album of the same name, remains a timeless anthem in their repertoire.
