Polaris for me all the way. I'm still dead from the last time I saw them and he got so into that song he was on his tiptoes pouring out every ounce of his soul and I ascended to a higher plane and have never recovered.
When I saw them and he got to the “AS THE TRAIN APPROACHES GARE DU NORD” part the entire room felt like it was shaking. He put so much raw emotion into it, it was beautiful. Also when they played Futures title track he did a death growl and it was fucking WILD
It always blows me away how emotive he is. Like some of these songs are fairly oldish now but he still sings them like he just wrote them
I reviewed the futures 10 year tour on ap and wrote about how it didn't feel like a nostalgia grab but a celebration of a great album and the band retweeted my article
Finally get to see them in Dallas, probably going to definitely cry at least three times within the first ten minutes of the set
Part of me wishes I'd have recorded it but I'm also glad I was in the ~moment for it. He did it during like the entire Gare Du Nord verse and I flipped out. You could see him on his tip toes and his neck muscles like straining and it was great. That and him having to pause to cry singing Hear You Me once I'm like oh my gaaawd tears everywhere! I've seen them play about the same setlist a handful of times but it never gets old
I cannot wait to see them in Boston in June. I’ve only seen them once, on the Clarity 10 year tour, and I have been dying to see them again. I was beginning to think they wouldn’t do a proper headlining show here for another few years.
Been digging this Go Big Casino song lately. Per a youtube commenter: This was recorded in 1998 or 1999 at someone's house, before Jimmy Eat World even had a hit. It appeared on a CD of local and regional artists in or around Arizona called Not One Light Red: A Modified Document. Not sure why it never made it into the studio.
