When I first saw this post I legit thought you were just listing your favorite JEW songs. Awesome set-list.
Yeah, gonna be honest: a little bored at how little they’ve changed up the setlist in the past decade.
No Clarity stuff... Sigh. The band seems to switch out a couple songs here and there on tours though so maybe they'll be doing that this time too.
It’s very much a support slot like the incubus shows were. Still a great set. Jim’s guitar died during I wanna say “Sure and Certain?” Maybe
I've never seen them live, so that may be part of it. I still think that's a killer set-list though. The only two I could even somewhat do without would be "Sweetness" and "The Middle" simply based on how many times I've heard them - but even then, I would still enjoy seeing them both live for the first time.
I've seen those songs live a few times and even though I'm tired of them, I can't deny the energy in the room changes during them
One of the two headlining shows I saw them play right after Integrity Blues came out still is one of the best sets I've ever seen. I wasn't expecting much straying from the bigger songs on this tour, but it's still going to be lots of fun. I just have to wait until August for the Orange County show.
Don’t get me wrong, I love all those songs and JEW are always great live. But they’ve got such a deep catalog, and I think about 75% of the set has stayed more or less the same the three times I’ve seen them. It would be nice to get a change up one of these tours, though I’m not surprised they’re sticking with their more familiar songs for this tour.
I guess tbh I’ve seen them play Polaris so I have no right to complain, but I would be okay if I never saw them play the middle or pain or hear you me again haha
Nevermind deep(er) cuts, I would pay a lot of money to see JEW play a b-sides concert!!! Shame! Sparkle! When I Want! OPEN BAR RECEPTION!!! (I am aware this is not actually a thing that exists.)
