Build a setlist: Jimmy Eat World

With the band recently releasing an album and announcing a huge tour, lets fantasy book!

 

Tough. Don't know if I'm 100% happy with this one but I don't want to keep tinkering:

Big Casino
Lucky Denver Mint
Work
You With Me
Cautioners
Let It Happen
Kill
Criminal Energy
Appreciation
A Sunday
Just Tonight
Littlething
For Me This Is Heaven
The World You Love
Delivery
A Praise Chorus
Rockstar
Always Be
Dizzy

Encore
Sweetness
Sure and Certain
23

Static Prevails: 1, Clarity: 3, Bleed American: 3, Futures: 5, Chase This Light: 4, Invented: 1, Damage: 1, Integrity Blues: 2, Surviving: 2

 

A lot of this list is defined by songs I have already seen them play or what I haven't seen them play. I've seen Sweetness, The Middle, and 23 enough times haha.

Surviving
Bleed American
Futures
Just Tonight
Damage

Pain

Congratulations

 

but you haven’t seen pain enough?

 

I don't think I've actually seen Pain live haha

 

i thought they played that every show ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

at least they have when i’ve seen them

 

Yeah, setlist.fm proved me wrong haha.

If I made the setlist longer, I'd probably add Chase This Light, All the Way (Stay), and I could easily swap out some for deep cuts like Littlething, No Never, or something from Clarity.

 

Putting together a setlist for them is a pretty daunting task - good thing they play long headlining sets! When I saw them last year in Cleveland they played 27 songs

Jimmy Eat World Setlist at House of Blues, Cleveland

 

I've never left a show feeling disappointed at the length, that's for sure!

 

I'd be pretty good with them playing Bleed American, Futures, and Integrity Blues in full, all in one night.

 

Swap out Integrity with Clarity and I'm good

 

Wouldn't happen
edit 29 songs lol

Chiming in to say anyone that doesn't have Dizzy in their setlist is basically a war criminal

No encores because they're for nerds and chumps.

 

i see you trying to sneak an extra one in!

28 (or 29) songs is possible though! the setlist i posted a link to from when i saw them last year had 27 songs.
