's live showcase
Everything Will Change
captures their performances from June 26-27, 2013, and was meant to put a bow on the band's story a decade after the release of their beloved first (and only, to date) album: 2003's

Ben Gibbard
,
Jimmy Tamborello
, and
Jenny Lewis
hit each of the ten tracks on the original release, adding the quartet of additional songs that were bundled onto the 10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition ("Turn Around," "A Tattered Line of String," "Be Still My Heart," and "There's Never Enough Time"), a cover of Washington indie pop band
Beat Happening
's "Our Secret," and "(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan" from
Tamborello
's other project,

(coinciding tour alongside
Gibbard
