Death Cab For Cutie - Meet Me On The Equinox (Live at KROQ)

[reginarae77]

He sounds awesome, Ben Gibbard is brilliant and pretty HOT too!

[onetimejustonce]

this is just so clean..he doesnt miss a string...5 stars

[manthax]

My least favorite song from new moon

[TheLadyTatou]

i've never been so glad to use earphones :D

[adoucette13]

This song makes me soooo mellow.

[WrestlerMan235]

my ears just jizzed

[Lightwielder42]

Hes playing on an acoustic guitar, but he's using a electric guitar amp, with drive, thus making the distortion of the waves, but it's still acoustic. And it's really really cool... Everything ends, sadly, this song ends as well. ;-;

[hiphopsucks96]

god I love ben's little rig...acoustic running thru a mini marshall stack!?

[dbenoit64]

hes playing it on an acoustic guitar

[JooleyWooley]

I <3 Death Cab!!!!

[SuperDrizzle7]

acoustic? how do you think he gets distortion. idiots

[PRSqUaReD1NC]

so uhhh.....Ben sounds exactly the same as the record.....he is pretty boss

[OKvex]

I like watching the guy behind the glass walk about.

[Tod661]

I love this tune...When I heard it on FM radio..I thought it was a new Rush tune...I got back in my truck after delivering Budweiser and all the driver's were"heard the new Rush song"....No offense to them though I like seeing members on "Beyond a Lighted Stage"..I am sorry,I love his voice.He reminded me of Geddy Lee but once I heard the music..I knew better

[Apathetica1492]

Ben.. UR A GOD!!

[kirkleeslater]

ok please dont kill me guys, but only just listened to these dudes, and fuck my tits they are amazing! new favourite band! arent they something to do with iron and wine? or is that bullshit......

[poprockmeli]

@kirkleeslater umm no, not iron and wine but the postal service yes which brings me back to iron & wine they did a cover to one of the postal services songs

[okavipra]

what is this mic, anyone, really like the bass that it adds to his voice

[TheRoopsicle]

@okavipra Look like an AKG C414... they're pretty freaking expensive though

[PeetarTheGuitar]

@okavipra theres no screen that professional recording studios have. since this is a radio statio they dont need that kind of stuff

[Freddythecool]

This song never ends, heard it 23 times in a row now.

[TacoTruckRunnerCA]

This man is a Stud, been following them since Barsuk Records. Nice to see the man and the lyrics up close. Too Cool!

[onetimejustonce]

did he just do that? wtf that was good

[guttermoth]

aside from the twilightness this song is amazing.

[StarryIllusions]

.. is this really the acoustic version?

[SmilinTunes]

this song kind of sucks hard.

[ItsTylerMarie]

@SmilinTunes You obviously have no taste for music, then.

[okavipra]

@SmilinTunes dude just watched your channel videos, dont really think that youre in a a position to post such comments for this one

[SmilinTunes]

@okavipra lol naah. Im a really good singer. pretty good at writing songs, too.

[EmoCappuchino]

Wowzers. I am loving this right now. I always said it was "Meet Me Halfway" for people with a vocabulary.

[dropdeadso1]

lol @ the people in the back 0:40

[INTERPOLFAN17]

WOW O_O

[Tiban]

it seems to me that this same configuration is used in the original studio recording of the song, I used to think it was standard track layering but this sounds too similar not to be how it was originally done.

[Tiban]

algo, it's stupid how they didn't use a pop filter for this, the compressor on the vocal mic is freaking out from the plosives

[Niemeyer2007]

Personally I am a big fan of Guild guitars...between a Gibcon and Taylor (my opinion). He absolutely pulled the acoustice version off...well done!!!!!!

[eimead]

i was surprised how well this stood up as an acoustic only... well done to the lads... whooping it out again.

[Rohin20]

Seattle FTW :)- Ben Gibbard, such a dynamic singer

[Rohin20]

Seattle FTW :)- Ben Gibbard, such a dynamic singer

[crash0906]

It s a gibson j-45

[cbrod43]

Im pretty sure its a gibson hummingbird

[CREMAZ123]

anybody know what type of guitar that is?? thanks

[ChablesMan]

@CREMAZ123 Gibson j-45. They're pretty expensive. I personally think they sound a bit thin if you want an all-around acoustic guitar.

[wtfbitchymom]

hmm, hes gooood(:

[carmanjames]

When your this good, you can do as you wish. To those who disagree, you try and sing like that, or better yet, try and fill a stadium.

[mattevilspawn]

Dear Mr. Gibbard,

Please stop trying to ape Neil Young. Your talent stands on its own.

Sincerely,

Just one fan

[MenayaTV]

maybe Zooey wants him to look like Neil Young...If my wife is as beautiful as Zooey I'd do anything for her...hahaha! maybe its her fetish, ahaha...

[Tapicero111]

haha i just realized, thank you

[EclipseTyrant]

sell out

[DAYLIN1978]

he is the writer , because it is a RARE VERSION ..........do you understand?

[sofuckingsexy]

He forgot the lyrics on the second verse, he resings the first verse he said:

Let me lay beside you, Darling

Let me take your hand

As we walk in the dimming light

Or darling understand

When he was supposed to say:

Let me lay beside you, Darling

Let me be your man

And let our bodies intertwine

But always understand

[fapgtrplyr]

who cares?

[vadml96]

@fapgtrplyr who cares?! We fucken care! Dumb fuck ;D

[eimead]

i think that given he wrote the music and lyrics, he can sing whatever he wants. now be quiet.

[jjjjj92]

its his song he can say what ever he wants lol

[gzsoltika]

I like that small marshall there:)), sounds great, good song!

[ROtotheB]

Argh let me see what hes playing at the chorus!

[DaBomb3434]

shave cunt

[203017V]

I really love the mini MG and the fact that you can still hear the acoustic itself. Neat sound.

[bambam69]

im new to this band. is this the only guy? or does he have a drummer, bass player etc?

[Backalleypeprally]

Yeah he does.

Wiki it :)

[Sqkeeky]

nah theres a full band

Guitar/Keyboard - Ben Gibbard (this guy), Chris Walla

Drums - Jason McGerr

Bass - Nick Harmer

[imgonnastayeighteen]

@bambam69 you're what make music great.

[jmerwin1]

reminds me of neil young

[TheCommonReactor1]

Is that Joe from SSPU on the other side?

[JorshWarshington]

Great performance, which was only tainted by some dipshit with a cellphone.

[indierock413]

@ fenixkid626- it's very much not autotuned. he just sings that well.

anyone have an mp3 of this?

[AllRightieThen]

It is not autotuned, but in addition to some stupid echo effect there is some noise from lossy audio compression.

[griffithafrank]

@allrightiethen and @fenixkid626

i know right? really sounds like autotune...

[musiclover1672001]

For the best love songs that go perfectly with The Twilight Saga check out "Winter Air" and "This is Love" by the band Annasay. on itunes and youtube

[PEDERSENP]

AMAZING!!

[fenixkid626]

Why does that sound so autotuned?

[PantsOnFyre]

@fenixkid626 Thats just a lot of reverb. To make it alllll mystic.

[Backalleypeprally]

Because he sings amazing...

[Joseap]

That amp kicks ass...and its just like $45 U.S.

BTW Great version

[GERJesusCrysis]

The 2 peopel in the background LOL

[stratwz]

Sings great , cool guitar hook.

[anaclose21]

his voice is really amazing!

[MissTwilight21]

I like this version!

[jdogsguitar]

I like this better than the whole band version, and thats great too!!!! I hate people with talent. hahaha

[vertigonorsolla]

pop filter???

Nice.. ;)

[robtheAMBULANCE]

LOL @1:33 look at the AMP hes plugged into.

[gageypoo123546]

@robtheAMBULANCE that thing is bad ass!!

[havidowie]

@robtheAMBULANCE : so

[DRARC61]

@robtheAMBULANCE Dude, it's bigger then your penis, your dad let me know, kthanks (:

[joraz1980]

@robtheAMBULANCE killer:)

[martianluther]

nteresting.. seems like the studio version has a diff bside to the second verse. Could be a lil slip..it happens I guess

[protesttheryan11]

Would've been better if they hadn't dubbed the album guitar over the acoustic in this video, still great though.

[aarondwiener]

I don't think they did. It seems like he's plugged into a distorted amp so it's like he's playing along to a reverb-heavy, distorted version of himself.

[protesttheryan11]

I didn't think of that, you're probably right. I don't get why I got a -1 for my comment, I still love the song.

[aarondwiener]

Yeah. My first thought was exactly what you had said. Here, I can kick you back up to zero.

[ChablesMan]

It's not. His acoustic is being run through the little Marshall amp with some overdrive.

[mattevilspawn]

Correct, ChablesMan. This is totally live. The mic is picking up his acoustic guitar naturally and the mini-Marshall it's running through. You can see the mini-Marshall is mic'd separately. No cheesy-autotune. The only addition to what's heard in the room is a little reverb on the vox mic. That's it.

[chris7sam]

I noticed the mini-amp as well. Before that, I thought one of the other band-mates was playing a second guitar. Pretty simple and effective way to get that sound.

[basketcase5295]

awesome version!!!

[sexytopher2]

Great acoustic version!

[alanzeino]

There's some tool walking around in the background. Sad.

[sublimerasta]

Haha how can you label someone a tool without knowing who they are or why they were standing back there in the first place? Sad. This is a great song and it sounds alot better live. Thanks for the post =P.

[chris7sam]

The one dude with the beard is the bass player from the band. I think its funny their hangin out while the song is going on. The studio is soundproofed so no biggy. Im sure they've seen him perform it 100 times over...They're havin fun!

[ASJbeeetch]

@alanzeino I'm pretty sure that is Death Cabs bassist walking behind the glass : /

[alanzeino]

That's not Nick Harmer.

[hippievan1969]

This is a great acoustic version of this song! I'm pretty sure I like it even more than the original.

[Cotton926]

love this song fuck passivenexus!

[LifeFilms]

great...miss yall at cali...im down here in dc till december
