How Ben Gibbard defined an entire adolescence in one night.
Maybe you were here for Death Cab or The Postal Service, but on Tuesday night we were reliving both together.I was 14 when I first heard The Postal Service’s “Such Great Heights.” It was 2009 and I had just started high school, and I found it late one night while browsing YouTube.
At 9 p.m. on the dot the lights dimmed and Gibbard and his Death Cab band ran out dressed like it was still 2009: in black button downs only beaten in tightness by their pants . The crowd politely swayed and bopped through the first few songs of the album before coming to life for “The Sound Of Settling.” Loud whoops followed for the first big anthem of the night, “Transatlanticism,” which warranted Gibbard ditching his guitar and the illumination of single blue spotlight.
It’s a strange thing being at an event that’s fueled solely by the culture of nostalgia. Much of the night for me was spent oscillating between past and the present, particularly during “Such Great Heights” which brought the biggest rise of the night; phones went up; a woman not much older than me a few seats down could only hold her hand over her mouth. Gibbard knew what was required of him and delivered the indie frontman knee-knocking dance. Every word was sung back religiously.
