The Jay Pritzker Pavilion kicked off the summer with another huge outdoor show. This year it was Death Cab for Cutie. The weather was once again ominous, but we got extremely lucky and didn't feel a drop of rain. The low lying fog created an interesting back drop...allowing the surrounding skyline to only occasionally peek through. To our surprise, there was an opening band, and to our greater surprise, it was Rogue Wave.
This year there was a $10 charge to get into the event, whereas last year it was free to see The Decemberist. In my opinion, the fee was a good decision. The event was much more tame then last year's where you had people literally climbing over other people for lawn space. Tim, Carisa, Michael, and I sat squarely in the middle of the lawn, and had a great view of the stage.
Death Cab played mostly songs from their new album, but threw in a couple older songs. They closed with Transatlanticism.
