Jimmy Eat World - 6/18/2008 - Dodge Theater - Phoenix, AZ

Sorry, kind of late on posting this. But anyways, amazing show. JEW probably has one of the best live shows just for the fact that I think they play their songs better live than on the albums, especially Chase This Light. My highlight was when they played Disinegration and led it into Get It Faster. So epic! Was also glad to see a good selection of Clarity songs in the list. I thought maybe they'd play a little longer for being a hometown show. Last August when I saw them at the Mesa Arts Center they played like a 10 song encore and were taking requests from the crowd. It was pretty insane haha. But awesome hometown show, Minus the Bear and Dear and the Headlights were awesome openers. It was wierd though cause it seemed to have like no Bear fans there. I felt like I was the only one singing along. Dear and the Headlights are probably going to have a lot more people checking them out though and gain a lot more fans with that show.
All and all, Jimmy pwns!

Perhaps they wouldn't be as big if they hadn't wrote it though, so forever it is!

I'm seeing them next week! SO EXCITED!

Closing with sweetness is cooler, but the middle is cool too

If I ever see them live Idk what I'll do. Especially if they play 23.

23 might be the most beautiful song to see/hear live ever.
