Jimmy Eat World has been around for what one could call a long time. The band formed in 1993 in Mesa, Arizona, and hasn\u2019t looked back since. With hit after hit, the band has amassed a huge following that seemed to make its presence known at Revolution Live on February 3; a show that one could call decent.<\/p>\n

They opened up with \u201cBleed American,\u201d which was a good fast-paced start to really generate crowd interest. The audience was responsive, emotionally singing along to their favorites. All the big singles were accounted for including\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cPain\u201d and \u201cSweetness,\u201d the band\u2019s more signature songs and ending with the megahit \u201cIn the Middle\u201d during the encore.<\/p>\n

The band\u2019s energy was solid, supported by an array different stage lights and hues. The ambiance and mood were definitely set by the solid production value. The band\u2019s overall sound was clear and concise, though I feel lead vocalist Jim Adkin\u2019s microphone could have used a little boost as his vocals seemed to be lessened by the instrumentals.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to gauge if bands are not much for fan interaction or they simply wish to fill in their set with as music as possible to appease the fans who want specific songs. Jimmy Eat World seemed to focus on the latter. There wasn\u2019t much interaction between the band and audience aside from a random \u201cThank You\u201d here and there. This can sometimes cause the audience to become disengaged, but it worked for the band.<\/p>\n

Jimmy Eat World put on a solid show.\u00a0 There wasn\u2019t much in the way of \u201cbells and whistles\u201d during the show, or with the band, but that\u2019s what Jimmy Eat World is about. They\u2019ve been around the independent scene since the beginning, and even with mainstream success, they remain rooted to the former. The band focused on the music and performed a solid headlining gig. No more, no less.<\/p>\n
