Death Cab For Cutie is on the main stage and the band is hitting some of my favorites on their setlist, including the LA-dissing “Why’d You Want To Live Here,” “The New Year,” and new single “I Will Possess Your Heart,” off the band’s upcoming album “Narrow Stairs.”
They closed their set with “The Sound of Settling,” probably my favorite song, but they did not do the handclaps. It’s ok, I did them from the audience.
Lead singer Ben Gibbard asked the crowd if they were excited for Prince and when they responded with a loud cheer he said, “Me too.”
“He’ll be landing in his purple helicopter soon,” he mused. He said Prince would then climb into a purple limo to drive him 100 feet to walk down a purple carpet to the stage.
Oh, and during the set, someone in the band said, “Hello Bonnaroo.”
And by the way, it’s 7:17 p.m. and David Hasselhoff just walked by me and fellow blogger Kim Pierceall again.
