Jimmy Eat World | Phoenix Sessions: Surviving (Live) 

They don't get half the recognition they deserve. It's a shame so many people only know them for The Middle.

I'm not sure if I'd say the most important, but I'd say the best of the last 25 years, yes.

@@uselessidguy331 I mean, they inspired a TON of famous punk / pop/ rock bands. So I think it's ok to give them "important" as a title : )

They were never really big in Europe. They aren't as important and played such a big role as The Smashing Pumpkins or Nirvana. JEW aren't bad though, and aren't a marginal band. It's just a bit of an exaggeration to objectively call them the most important band in the last 25 years. They might be that for you, and that's good enough. However, to me they're even more of a mainstream and monotonous band than the Foo Fighters, who in my opinion have many more great songs.

@@nedim_guitar I said the last 25 years. Nirvana was gone by then. The pumpkins were huge at the beginning of that but Jimmy Eat World have been a steady force ever since then while the Pumpkins have fizzled. The only other rock band with an argument against is The Foo Fighters

thank you!!

You’re welcome! 😄

thanks

I paid for it when it came out but would never complain if this brings them to new fans

I paid and loved the experience and having something to look forward to. Then I was sad when it was over and I couldn’t rewatch it, so I’m just happy we get the chance to experience it again. If you’re going to complain about having to pay then I don’t know what to tell you, it wasn’t that expensive and you got to support a band you like and got an exclusive experience. They knocked it out of the park and delivered, now sit back and enjoy it again and again. I’ve paid more for shows that I never got to see again

Same. And they did such a phenomenal job with this performance of it!

True

its Good!!!

Yes yes and yes!!!!

555 is sooooooo damn good!!!

I concur 100% ! Absolutely brilliant!

Gives me those very last Pre-Pandemic memories Oct2019-Jan2020

Most played band on my Spotify 4 years in a row 😂

I’ve been following them and attending gigs since 2001, but who’s counting….😳🤪

It sounds *better*.

That's because the only live part about it is they're all playing together. A performance like this would have gone through so much post production.

@@ohalistair true, but it's plausible in this case because of the amount of effort and setup and cost required to get this whole thing going like it is

They're a tight band. It helps.

​@@ohalistair There is nothing wrong with mixing a live show so it actually sounds good. But as all music producers and mixing engineers know, you can't polish a turd. You might be overestimating the post production in this. If the band didn't perform well and if all their equipment and microphones weren't set up well, the recording wouldn't have been good and the post production (i.e. the mix) wouldn't be able to save it. As you might see, they don't use real amps, so the stage volume isn't too loud. Their guitar effects (Fractal Axe FX) give all the sounds that they need and it's much easier to sound great.

I like the slow climbing feeling

I'm jealous

Same here

It's mixed by Ken Andrews of the band Failure. Their album Fantastic Planet is a cult classic, but even their post reunion albums Heart Is A Monster and In The Future Your Body Will Be The Furthest Thing From Your Mind are great. Failure are a bit heavier, but you might like some of their stuff. At least they sound amazing.

Was there as well. Wished the same. Saw them at first avenue the year before and they played a ton of these songs. Congratulations was amazing.

both

Seen them live here in Brisbane twice, both amazing shows (futures 10th anniversary, and integrity blues) such a underrated band, which I loved after finding my brother's "bleed American" cd..I indentified with so many themes on that album. Always give 100% at their shows.

No, they sound better than the recording, it's incredible. Heavier, more emotional and raw, yet superbly produced and clean.

yes even better than the record

i love "Delivery"

What about Chase This Light?

We all know :)

I know

Some people do :) Count me in here.

They are soooooo good it’s ridiculous 😮❤
