No way I could have handled a late night show after the fest yesterday but I'm very jealous of that set.
I mean, opening with a bonus track from basically their first album, Static. Throwing another Static song just for good measure. Clarity. Damage. No Bleed American or Futures? Playing The Middle right…in the middle? Seems like an outlier set to me, especially viewed in the context with every preceding date on this tour.
Yeah, I was thinking they almost always played Futures and Bleed American and rarely threw in 5 songs from Clarity, which didn’t include Lucky Denver Mint, which has been in the set the other four times I’ve seen them in four different tours. And nothing from Chase This Light. Sorry, I’ll stop now. Haha.
The show last night was awesome! I got a last minute ticket for under face value and I’m very happy I went!
Let's bring home the championship trophy. FINALS: (1) Radiohead - OK Computer vs. (7) Jimmy Eat World - Futures • forum.chorus.fm
"Adkins says Jimmy Eat World has more songs that are ready to be released, but the band is torn between whether to release them as an album or as a series of singles." Alt-rockers Jimmy Eat World will get loud at The Strand in Providence
Do what you feel, Mr. Adkins and company. Do what you feel. If it's singles only, I'm hoping they'll at least do some 7"s or compile them all on a 12".
Despite my previous comments in this thread, I will take new Jimmy Eat World in any form I can get it. "Something Loud" was probably my song of the summer
I wish more big bands would do set lists like Jimmy does. You never know what you’re gonna get at a Jimmy show, but bands like Blink will play the exact same set every single night.
