Jimmy Eat World with special guests Moneen
July 4, 2008
The Sound Academy, Toronto ON


I was stoked for this show since JEW and Moneen are two of my favourite bands. However, I was disappointed in Moneen because they only played six songs, when I was expecting so much more. They were the only two bands playing that night and there was no curfew at the venue that I was aware of. As usual, Moneen rocked it, even if it was only for 25-30 minutes. They played one new song from the upcoming record, which sounded quite good. The new drummer seemed to fit in nicely as well. Perhaps his "new-ness" was a reason for the shorter set. Anyway the setlist is as follows:

Don't Ever Tell Locke What He Can't Do
The Great Escape (new song)
Are We Really Happy With Who We Are Right Now?
This Is All Bigger Than Me
The Passing Of America
Start Angry...End Mad



After a half-hour of anticipation, Jimmy Eat World stepped on stage. They were fantastic. The crowd was really into it and they played an even balance of old and new songs. I think they even threw in a couple more songs than they had been playing the first few nights of the tour. It was nothing short of amazing. Here's the setlist (i'm pretty sure its in the right order, and some people have been saying they didn't play Carry You like they did the in Kitchener and Montreal, but I can't remember now that the weekend has passed):

Big Casino
Sweetness
Crush
Work
Always Be
Dizzy
Blister
Here it Goes
A Praise Chorus
Disintegration
Get it Faster
Let it Happen
Carry You
23
Your New Aesthetic
Lucky Denver Mint
Bleed American
Pain

ENCORE:
Hear You Me
Goodbye Sky Harbor
Futures
The Middle

JEW is so good live. As always pretty much the same setlist but such a good looking one.

Yeah i really would have preferred they didn't finish with the middle, but it was an amazing show nonetheless

they really need to stop playing it, that encore would have been so killer if they just stopped with futures which would also be a good closer.

I was at the show in Minneapolis last night and the set was super solid but I was really disappointing they didn't play Kill (my favorite JEW song and one of my favorite songs in general).

It really wouldn't make sense for them to stop playing The Middle. Alot of "fans" would be disappointed if they went to a JEW show, and didn't hear that song. They should just move it up in the encore or something.

i think they should just remove it from the encore altogether, but still keep playing it. as you said a lot of people would be disappointed if they didn't play it at all

I don't necessarily think The Middle should be removed from the setlist altogether, but I do think that Sweetness should be their closer.
