Happy Halloween Everyone!
Lots of people have posted Halloween music today; the one I recommend most is YANP’s mix of Halloween-themed goodies. I decided to do a little something different and post a Halloween show. The show in question is a Death Cab For Cutie show from Halloween night in 2003 at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. It’s a great show complete with stage banter about the band’s costumes (I won’t ruin the surprise) and Ben’s favorite Halloween memories. The setlist is particularly great, spanning everything from You can play these songs with chords to Transatlanticism. There is a Cure cover, a Tom Petty cover (with Mates of State!) and one of the only recorded performances of The Face That Launched 1000 Shits, a Rev. Hydra cover that was released on Something About Airplanes.
Below is the setlist and a sendspace link to a zip of the whole show. Happy Halloween, and enjoy!

Is there a reason there are no tracks 17 or 21?

Thats the way it’s always been I think it was a misnumbering and not actual missing track. I cannot confirm this because the dcfc-tour site has a completely wrong setlist for this show.

I was not able to download the file. The sendspace site says that the file has been removed. Any possibility of uploading it with the full version of “The New Year”? I would really appreciate it. Or, if it’s possible to get that particular track by email or something, my email is amir2000@gwu.edu. Thanks a lot.
