Being as it was Death Cab, you know its going to be a good night - but a couple things stopped it short of being a great one:
For the opening songs the sound was poor, with at least one of the guitars not working properly - really spoiled Bixby Canyon Bridge for me.
Audience participation was non-existent, whether it was because there were too many older songs from albums that aren't readily available over here or a case of too cool to dance I don't know - but only Soul Meets Body seemed to get people going.
No Chat. Whether Ben felt burnt when his compliment before I Will Follow You Into The Dark feel flat on the ears of those cynical Brummies, but barely a word was spoken all night. I think at least an intro to the older songs would've made it a more fun, communal experience.
