Death Cab for Cutie

In the live performance of 'Title and Registration' recorded on October 10, 2008, Death Cab for Cutie was riding high on the success of their album 'Narrow Stairs,' which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200 and showcasing their evolution towards a more polished sound while still retaining their signature emotional depth. The live setting of the Riviera Theatre added a raw, intimate feel that beautifully complemented the poignant lyrics. Fun fact: 'Narrow Stairs' was partly inspired by the challenges of fame and personal relationships, themes that resonate through their music. This performance would have captured fans at a prime moment, right as the band was solidifying their influence in the indie rock scene.
