Jimmy Eat World in Concert
Jimmy Eat World started in 1993 as a punk trio formed by childhood friends Jim Adkins and Zach Lind. After years of hard work in the studio and on the road, the band settled on a poppier sound, hitting the spotlight in 2001 with breakthrough album Bleed American. The album included several successful singles including "The Middle," which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became an MTV staple. After extensive touring in support of the album, the band returned to the studio for 2004's Futures, which peaked at No. 6 and earned the band another No. 1 single with "Pain." Chase This Light in 2007 and Invented in 2010 would achieve similar success, cementing the band's role as one of the most successful indie acts in the business.
In 2013, Jimmy Eat World celebrated 20 years of independently released records with Damage, their critically-acclaimed eighth studio album. At their live concerts, the band delivers a blast of non-stop energy and enthusiasm, delighting ticket buyers with heavy guitar riffs, boisterously precise drum solos, and three-part vocal harmonies anchored by the familiar croon of frontman Jim Adkins. 2013's Damage saw the band transition from teen-angst rock towards a more sophisticated sound, with lyrical content taking on a markedly more mature tone on singles like the album's title track and "I Will Steal You Back."
Jimmy Eat World on Tour
Jimmy Eat World announced their Criminal Energy Tour in 2020. The 20-date summer run starts in Atlanta, GA on August 6, 2020 and culminates in a hometown gig in Phoenix, AZ, Labor Day Weekend, on September 5, 2020. New Jersey-based The Front Bottoms join the tour as direct support with Turnover and Joyce Manor splitting the duties of opening the festivities on select dates. Jimmy Eat World continues the 2020 roadshow in support of their "bold, brave and ultimately defiant" (NME) 10th studio album, Surviving. With 10 records to pull from, the sets will prove to satisfy all fans new and old. Over the course of their career, Jimmy Eat World have sold venues such as Saint Andrews Hall (Detroit) to capacity, as well as 713 Music Hall (Houston), and The Masonic (San Francisco).
To be honest I went for Manchester but stayed for the whole thing and it was awesome. Jimmy eats world was really good to see live, and had such a great energy. The venue was also really nice and really clean. Highly recommend.
I’ve been to three music festivals and twenty-five additional concerts this year, Manchester Orchestra and Jimmy Eat World top my list of favorites. The pit upgrade was probably the clincher! Being in The Middle of the action made it so much better… Thanks for a great night!
Jimmy Eat World was incredible. Lot's of energy and played all of the songs you want to hear! GREAT!
Love Jimmy Eat World! They never disappoint live! High energy. Oozing nostalgia. Got to take my 2 favorite teenagers to this show. I think they enjoyed watching me dance and sing all set.
I went for Manchester Orchestra. To be honest, I wish their set list was different as they have a lot of songs I love that I didn’t get to hear. However, they’re an amazing band so I had a great time regardless. Jimmy eat world was good too. I had seats and wish I was on the floor bc it was not very lively up there at all.
I loved everything about this concert, I liked the venue very much and the band was AMAZIIING! Maybe improve the wait times at the Merch ;)
Great concert! First time watching Jimmy Eat World and Manchester Orchestra live. A really good time!
Vocals were drowned out center stage. In between the sound booth and the stage.
As much as we love both these bands, and truly were ready to have a wonderful time, unfortunately our experience was ruined as the sound from the pit at the Greek was almost unlistenable. We were shocked, as our past experiences at this venue and seeing Manchester Orchestra have always been fantastic. Really disappointed unfortunately, especially because we paid so much for VIP tix.
The Greek is always great. Clean bathrooms and friendly staff
Awesome venue, awesome show. No better place to see a concert.
Great show. I’ve never been a huge Jimmy Eat World fan; I don’t dislike them, just never got into them in a big way beyond what I heard on the radio. I came to this show for Manchester Orchestra. It’s a co-headlining tour, which seems to be a “thing” this year. It means they have an opener, and then the headliners swap who goes on first and who ends the show from night to night. Friday at Petco, MO went on first and JEW closed it down. I still prefer MO, actually thought for a second about chasing them out Vegas the following day. MO performed songs mainly from A Black Mile and Million Masks, only one from the album that’s just dropped. MO is way heavier sounding live than on the radio; almost sounded like Mastedon on a few tracks. JEW came out totally fired up, did 16 songs, lots of their hits. It was a great show. I really liked the Park at the Park venue. It was my first time seeing a concert there. You can chill out on the grassy knoll and get a great view, or get really close to the stage; whatever floats your boat. And when the show is over, you’re right in the Gas Lamp. Perfect for a Friday night.
Great sound and great bands. Played all their hits and made a good connection with the fans
I will love Jimmy Eat World forever. Definitely my favorite band. I love them. I was so excited to see them again. Then they started playing. Whoever did their sound needs to be fired. It was such a bummer. I tried not to let it bother me but going from beautifully mixed sound from Manchester Orchestra to completely unbalanced sound with twangy rhythm guitar overpowering everything, it was so sad. For the headliner to sound that bad is pretty embarrassing. I just sang as loud as I could and tried to ignore it. I can’t wait for them to come back with a competent sound engineer.
Middle Kids and Manchester Orchestra crushed it! Jimmy Eat World was good, but I wouldn’t want to have to follow Manchester Orchestra 😆
Enjoyed the show. Nice venue. Intimate setting outdoors at Petco’s Park at the Park. Able to sit or relax and sit on the grass. Sound was good and Jimmy Eat World out on a great performance. Looking forward to seeing the upcoming Pixies show.
JEW sounded really good, they hadn't skipped a beat though it would've been nice to hear Futures, such an awesome song but no such luck. Manchester Orchestra left a lot to be desired, too much slow ballads and not enough rock. I've been to many many shows but never heard a band close their set with an awful slow song. Oh well
I've seen Jimmy Ear World a dozen times over the last almost 20 years. This was sadly the worst sound mixing I've ever heard at any of their shows. Back up vocals and guitars were almost inaudible, Jim was too quiet but his guitar was hot. Just a weird and hollow sound for most of the show. Still fun overall because they always give a great effort but too bad not to be able to hear the songs correctly.
Paid for 2 "VIP"packages whatever that means was supposed to get a free tee shirt was just ignored by the guys running the band swag stand. No one there knew where i was supposed to go for the stuff i was supposed to get. The signage was small and easy to miss to begin with. The guy kept looking at me and my girlfriend but said nothing not even "ill be with you in a moment". 20min of waiting and we had enough of the rudness and just left. Jimmy eat sounded muffled and distorted couldnt hear vocals. As always over priced drinks. Dont sell "VIP"packages if there is no real VIP treatment all your doing is putting VIP infront of the sale so you can charge more for a general admission ticket........!!!!!!!!
I’ve never left a show early in my entire life but we left early during Jimmy Eat World’s set… they were playing really slow songs and either they didn’t sound good or the sound guy was mixing it wrong. We got bored so we ended up leaving with the other large volumes of people that left before the show ended. They should have had Manchester Orchestra close the event. They were amazing.
