Hi there! If you check this site (it used to be GREAT for keeping up with DCFC), you can actually see the set from this very night. Go to tour history, and then hit 2001 and hit "info" next to the one at the VERY bottom. This is from "Graceland" as it says, and it is in FACT "Blacking out the Friction > Atmosphere". The lyrics match if you've ever heard Joy Division's "Atmosphere" or if you've ever heard the D-plan's "Are You Invited?" you should know those aren't the words benny is singing. :)

They were a brilliant indie rock band broke up shortly after the tour with death cab for cutie, which also saw the exit of Michael Schorr. Kind of like superchunk,archers of loaf etc.

I hate to tell you buddy but it's are you invited i have a live set from the death & dismemberment tour and it's near the same except they play the full song by the dismemberment plan

[LucDanielMcNally]

Who are the Dismemberment Plan? I thought the last song was Joy Division.

Hey everyone... Death Cab used to play Blacking out the Friction with a cover of some sort sang towards the end whenever the played it live. They've done this with many songs... including "Brand New Love", Elliott Smith's "Say Yes" (The night after his death, RIP), and in this case it's Joy Divisioin's "Atmosphere". :)
