Info: Opening for Harvey Danger Revolutionary Hydra and
This Busy Monster. I am pretty sure this is Death Cab's first
Seattle show. Following taken from This Busy Monster's
Tour Diary...

25 Feb 98: Crocodile. With Death Cab for Cutie, the Revolutionary Hydra, and Harvey Danger.
Another great great great show. Death Cab is now [Christopher's] favorite current band—they're righteous.
Great performers and great songs. Rev Hydra had eight people up on stage, including a guy doing a
shadow-puppet show behind a sheet, and a girl dancing in the corner. They were great as well. We played third,
were a bit rusty at first, but played a good set. We brought up Elias (Avinger, Jason's brother) and
Sean (Nelson, singer for Harvey Danger) to do one of Elias' songs (...papers stacked in order), with
Elias playing Christopher's guitar, Sean singing backup vocals, and Christopher playing organ. Then we
brought up Sean again at the end of our set to play organ on clockroute and the f word.
Lots of fun. Harvey were their usual self—tight, great performance—but they threw a surprise at us. They
covered a TBM song—underground—doing it, as they said, in a Radiohead fashion. It was a very
surreal experience. Sean belted out the third verse in a way that I could never match.
