Death Cab For Cutie at The Hollywood Bowl






death-cab-hollywood-bowl

What a great way to end a great weekend.  I think 4th of July is taking over as my favorite holiday (sorry Presidents Day.)  Tonight was the first time I’ve seen Death Cab live and the first time I’ve been to the Hollywood Bowl.  I’ve heard people rave about the Hollywood Bowl since I landed in LA and it lived up to the hype.   Ben and Co. played a band-only set, and were then joined by the LA Philharmonic.   There were some volume issues when those French horns jumped in, and I’m pretty sure Ben was playing in the wrong key for Sound of Settling, but it ended with a bang, as you can see above.  I’ll be back at The Bowl for the Beastie Boys on Sep. 24.  Very much looking forward to it.  Oh and as far as parking goes, it’s not bad if you can walk a ways.  Just park on a side street off Highland, in one of the neighborhoods.  Actually don’t, that’s where I’m parking.

    I went to the Hollywood Bowl a lot as a kid but didn't really remember what it was like. Yesterday was awesome. You can bring your own food & wine (even though I don't drink). Death Cab + Phil Harmonic were great. My favorite part: the fireworks going to the beat of Transatlanticism.

    I park at the Hollywood/Highland mall and it really wasn't that far of a walk.
    Beats stacked parking! :)

    Yeah that ending was pretty great. That parking situation really was a nightmare for anyone that parked in the Hollywood Bowl or nearby parking lots. I wonder if they're still sitting there...
  • Help, I'm trapped in the parking lot and can't get out!
  • I opted to take the $5 shuttle from the Lakewood park-and-ride. Got home to Orange County 10 minutes after my friends got out of the parking lot. Not too bad :)

    Good review! My favorite parts were, of course, Transatanticism and I Will Follow You Into The Dark.
