This clip is awesome because Dave tells a story before the song about being in high school with Damien Jurado, but Damien keeps interrupting his story and heckles him from the audience.
This is Wait covered by Death Cab for Cutie at the 1/23/99 show, originally by Secret Stars. If it wasn't for the distortion on the drums this could be the most amazing dcfc clip ever, all with their original drummer Nathan Good no less.
This is Steadier Footing and A Movie Script ending recorded live by me on 12/21/2001 at Graceland. Towards the end of A Movie Script Ending i remember thinking, "crap, there's no way they're not going to get famous now"
This is We Laugh Indoors from the 12/21/01 show. Stuff to watch for in this clip: ben drops his pick, and jolly ol' saint nick making an appearance causing ben to forget the lines. This song also is proof that they can rock a little bit.
This is the bjork cover all is full of love from the stability ep. Ben dedicated this song to someone named Allison and this is from the 2/3/01 showbox show in seattle
This song is originally from a demo tape that Ben put out under the name All Time Quarterback which was his solo project from 1998-1999. The ATQ version is actually better and can be found on the ATQ re-released cd.
This is Be thou My Vision, played before the raucous crowd at the Velvet Elvis. moments later we stormed the stage demanding an encore. I was knocked unconscious by an airborne mic stand.
This is I wanna Be Adored by the Stone Roses, covered by Death Cab. This is at The Breakroom in Seattle 2/12/00 right before "we have the facts" came out.
This is Damien Jurado performing his triple platinum smash hit Tonight I Will Retire before a sell out crowd of 47 at the Velvet Elvis. This show took place in 1998 or 1999, Dave Bazan also played.
The hits just keep on coming...this is your bruise performed 2/3/01 at the showbox in seattle. I had no control over the lighting so please don't tell me it's dark, just be patient cuz it get's brighter.
