Clarity X 10 Tour

[phoenixinflames]

We all know about this tour. I couldn't find a thread already dedicated to it.

The first show is tonight. The whole tour is sold out. Anyone going please review the shows.

I'll be going on Thursday at the House of Blues in Boston, MA.

im sorry, i forgot to mention that this was the NYC show at Terminal 5

[ACA]

JEW was spot-on the entire night.. couldn't have asked for more out of them, they played about 20 songs incredibly. Reubens Accomplice was bland.. for $40/ticket, one more opener would've been nice.

[odizzle_word]

JEW was spot-on the entire night.. couldn't have asked for more out of them, they played about 20 songs incredibly. Reubens Accomplice was bland.. for $40/ticket, one more opener would've been nice.

$40 does seem excessive, but I feel like the crowd would have been bored to tears if there was another opener. People were there to just see Clarity in its entirety, they couldn't give a shit about openers.

Tonight's show was awesome. I wish they would play more of these songs at their shows.

[xmarksthespot]

i thought reuben's accomplice was okay. their drummer was solid. lots of tremolo and volume swells on guitar. one dude yelled "JIMMY EAT WORLD" from the balcony in between songs.
that setlist above was correct. clarity all the way through, two b-sides from that time period and then a couple more recent singles.
i thought the line would be a lot longer though cause we got there at 5 (doors opened at 7) and there were only like 10 kids in line, if that.
i was standing in the front row the whole show so it was quite an experience. jim mentioned during the show that clarity was released ten years ago tonight, so that was crazy.

i'm interested to see if the set changes at all at the other shows.

[TMS2787]

$40.00/ticket? Holy shit! But, this is something awesome, IMO.

[pinklipgloss]

Glad to see that they played what would i say to you now, easily one of my favorite jew songs. I'd kill to hear that live.

Sounds like an awesome show.

the line was retardedly long when i got there around 7. i think most people came from work.

[phoenixinflames]

Did they play to backing tracks. Did they have extra musicians cover some of the extra parts from Clarity, or does the core bands cover those parts themselves?

[WFUJerseyJon]

There were some backing tracks and no other performers other than Jim, Rick, Tom, and Zach.

[Smash Adams]

There were some backing tracks and no other performers other than Jim, Rick, Tom, and Zach.
I'm glad you were able to go

[AllenLee]

what an amazing amazing show @ terminal 5

easily the best concert i have ever been to

[WFUJerseyJon]

I'm glad you were able to go

Thanks. It turned out to be no problem at all, really. The reason for that though is both Chad and the guy I bought the tickets from on Ebay.

[Readyfuels]

I wish I was getting to see this tour :-(

[estrella starr]

im going tomorrow night. cant wait.

did anyone notice how much the vinyl is going for on the tour, out of curiosity?

[TheFactor]

im going tomorrow night. cant wait.

25 bucks

[estrella starr]

25 bucks

thank you!

[KyleMcr]

I'm soooo excited! March 6th can't get here soon enough. Ontop of Clarity, one of my favorite albums of all time, hearing No Sensitivity would be beyond amazing. :-)

[Chalie22]

any changes in the encore for tonight's DC show

[DaTBoiDaN]

any changes in the encore for tonight's DC show

They had so much fun playing Clarity, they came out and played Futures straight through too. Breathtaking!!




haha I wish... The encore was the same.

[AllenLee]

they played futures straight through? damn how long were they on stage?

[DaTBoiDaN]

they played futures straight through? damn how long were they on stage?

I was joking. That's why I said "I wish... the encore was the same."

However, if they did play it all the way through, I would say they would be on the stage for around 2 hours. The only time I've seen a set that long I think is with Radiohead.

[AllenLee]

haha I wish... The encore was the same.

And i totally agree with you i remember Rick grinning from ear to ear the entire night and Tom looked like he was having the time of his life on blister. I am convinced they were as excited to perform as we were to watch.

[EmoPunkKid28]

Just to make me even more excited about tomorrows show in Boston, I just won the opportunity to interview the band from a local radio station. Tomorrow will be incredible!

[DaTBoiDaN]

Just to make me even more excited about tomorrows show in Boston, I just won the opportunity to interview the band from a local radio station. Tomorrow will be incredible!

Be sure to ask them if they plan on doing a Bleed American x10 tour!!!

Have fun. I'm sure it'll be a blast!

[EmoPunkKid28]

Be sure to ask them if they plan on doing a Bleed American x10 tour!!!

Have fun. I'm sure it'll be a blast!

haha, I didn't even think of that. But the station asked me to only ask them Clarity related questions. I'm beyond excited. I'll probably freeze up or something, hahaha.

[DaTBoiDaN]

haha, I didn't even think of that. But the station asked me to only ask them Clarity related questions. I'm beyond excited. I'll probably freeze up or something, hahaha.

Well they did fund Bleed American with the money they made off of touring on Clarity. So it is related!!

[phoenixinflames]

Just to make me even more excited about tomorrows show in Boston, I just won the opportunity to interview the band from a local radio station. Tomorrow will be incredible!

haha, no shit! i got that email from wfnx (or wbcn?..i forget) about entering to win an interview with them. congrats! that'll be awesome! so excited for tomorrow night!!

[Chalie22]

Great show in Philly tonight, I'm so grateful to have seen this tour

encore was the following:

what would i say to you now
no sensitivy
23
work
pain
sweetness

[a morning view]

they played 23? fuck you guys are lucky.

[jusscali]

Yeah here's to hoping they play 23 tomorrow night - I really think they could have picked a better set of songs for the encore, but oh well.

[Chalie22]

they played 23? fuck you guys are lucky.


yeah they said 23 was requested so they played it

omg they replaced the middle with 23, that would have been amazing...

[phoenixinflames]

REEEALLY hoping we get 23 in Boston.

[atticusfinch]

I just jizzed my pants from seeing 23 in the encore. Dvd please.

[magicmike_1234]

haha, I didn't even think of that. But the station asked me to only ask them Clarity related questions. I'm beyond excited. I'll probably freeze up or something, hahaha.

fuck the station. its a legit question, u should ask it anyway.

[dissident]

dvd? is there one planned?

[DaTBoiDaN]

dvd? is there one planned?

That would be amazing. The believe in what you want 930 club performance is still one of my favorite live DVDs.

[bones jones]

if they play 23 tonight i'm going to lose my mind

guy/gal who's interviewing them today, please please please x100000000 ask them to play 23 tonight

[savestheday129]

Seeing 23 live was the highlight of my night in Philly.

I was standing back where the sound booth was and saw the set list before the encore. It was spot on.

[zubinmoosa]

I still can't believe I can't make it to this tour.

[bones jones]

boston encore had 23 and the middle, 7 songs instead of 6

[phoenixinflames]

boston encore had 23 and the middle, 7 songs instead of 6

Yup. Most amazing show. I left completely satisfied.

[EmoPunkKid28]

Here is the interview I got to do with the guys before the show!
http://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid1896837835/bctid14308283001

Sorry to the guys for asking the tougher questions, hahaha. It might have been a smidge awkward for a bit there, but it was an awesome experience and the guys were all wicked humble and nice to me. Thanks again for the interview, shirt and vinyl, dudes! And like I said, I was absolutely front and center for the show. Easily one of the best I've ever been to.

[midkay]

haha, a little awkward indeed. definitely too many difficult questions.

how did you manage to get this interview?

[EmoPunkKid28]

haha, a little awkward indeed. definitely too many difficult questions.

how did you manage to get this interview?

I still think they were really good questions, haha. And I still loved every second of that interview.

I won the interview through a contest a radio station did. You submitted five questions you'd want to ask the band, and whoever submitted the best ones got to interview the band. Apparently mine were the best!

[atticusfinch]

ha, i wouldn't really call any of those questions difficult.

[EmoPunkKid28]

ha, i wouldn't really call any of those questions difficult.

I just tried to pick some that maybe they never had been asked before (sans the touring one, maybe the must-have album one too), because I'm sure it gets tiring hearing the same questions over and over. But it was my first interview with a band, so I guess it's okay that it didn't go as smooth as it should've, haha.

[Bruised26]

Yeah, good interview. I think they enjoyed being asked tough questions. Kind of awkward at the beginning, but it seems like it got more comfortable after that.
I wish this tour hit more cities!
