When this came out during Covid it seriously saved my life. I was constantly fighting with my mother, I lost my dad a year prior, and I just feel lost. I snuck my computer into my room so I could watch this and it gave me so much hope. I will forever love this band!

[@Aaron-zh4kj]

Just went back to this album and gave it a fair shake for the first time, and DANG is it good. "Diamond" has this super awesome power pop energy; I can almost hear some similar energy to The Cars at times. But I suppose Jimmy Eat World has always kinda had that.

[@DougRG]

Welp. We're gonna need a Phoenix session for every record I think. These are so good!

thank you!!

[@BrandonSmithYT]

You’re welcome! 😄

[@videoluvr4204]

thanks

[@kelamram]

They've been the soundtrack of my life since 1998.

[@jay692]

The most important rock band of the last 25 years. Don't @ me. Great stuff.

[@thisisowen]

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

[@uselessidguy331]

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

[@TheFormActually]

@@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 : )

[@nedim_guitar]

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.

[@jay692]

@@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

[@HenryMyth]

Recommit and Delivery are just too good.

[@coachwmack]

How is Jimmy Eat World the best band in the world, and no one even knows it.

[@Temocore1]

We all know :)

[@thegoldenagetvshow]

I know

[@yourtabby]

Some people do :) Count me in here.

[@AnxiousSeeker]

They are soooooo good it’s ridiculous 😮❤

[@vs_gaming3013]

When live performance sounds as good as studio records! And that's after so many years. It's epic!

[@skepticalbadger]

It sounds *better*.

[@ohalistair]

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.

[@baraaahmad7738]

@@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

[@nedim_guitar]

They're a tight band. It helps.

[@nedim_guitar]

​@@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.

[@nickmoore7020]

Damn, the title track is so insanely good. One of their best songs in years

[@blacksunshine7485]

Awesome set of performances. Futures is king

[@pheebler]

555 is my fav ☺️

[@agenerichuman]

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

[@SwerveJr]

I can’t thank the band enough for putting this all together. This takes an immense amount of planning, rehearsing, and production; they did it all for their fans. For the people who are complaining that it’s free now, and you paid for it when it was announced, just hold on to the excitement of watching it for the first time, and the feeling that you continued to support this tremendous band. Great job on the mix and post-production, Jim.

[@thegoldenagetvshow]

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

[@shtty17]

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

[@CrashBandiscoot]

Idk, they’re not really in it for the money. Never were. I also don’t think they’re “owned” by anyone

[@papadankelson5480]

congratulations is so fucking good man, what a track. great performance.

[@mayday02]

I love this….and Congratulations is so freakin heavy!!!

[@christopherneiweem8262]

Surviving was a very good record. The minute your heard the opening Chords you just knew.

[@dontatme7]

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

[@stevengordon9990]

My God, Delivery is such a beautiful song 😍😍😍

[@dontatme7]

I like the slow climbing feeling

[@МихаилФилимончев-н9й]

I listened this band more than 3000 minutes only in spotify. This year alone.

[@IamIzayis]

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

[@goych]

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

[@napneto]

This is band is huge. Always consistent!! They can't go wrong, every release is at least great

[@jennicaddy1560]

Who is playing the harmony riff with Jim during Criminal Energy?

[@ivianaosorio8919]

The whole album is a masterpiece. It carried me through the pandemic.

[@benrike]

Same here

[@nedim_guitar]

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.

[@lilac_blak]

God touched af. I sound incredibly Gen Z with that. But it's true.

[@javoferoz4819]

Niiice! great mix and audio quality, awesome performance as always, thanks a lot for this.

[@jalucaru]

555 is such a masterpiece

[@AtomicTreeDude]

Thanks for this guys!!! Loved watching these with the wife earlier in the year.

[@LoveStallion]

I'm still just a little sad that they didn't use the Phoenix Sessions to go all out on personnel. Like I wish they would have done the borderline ridiculous sax solo on "All the Way." On tour, I get it - it's one more person to pay night after night for minimal payoff. But here? Just bring in the sax player. Bring in the string quartet on Clarity. I'm kinda baffled they didn't for a special one-off like these.

[@dubuqueareabaseballpodcast1726]

My second favorite album from them and this performance is unbelievable. They sound just like the album, which many bands can’t claim.

[@skepticalbadger]

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

[@LOKIGOGAMING]

555 is quite literally a masterpiece

[@gabscraper]

True

[@christopherray6388]

its Good!!!

[@goych]

Yes yes and yes!!!!

[@jalucaru]

555 is sooooooo damn good!!!

[@mannyreyes8114]

I concur 100% ! Absolutely brilliant!

[@colinthompson3345]

Thanks for putting this on youtube. Loved the livestreams. You guys inspired me to learn to play the guitar. Just got a JA 90 telecaster after saving.

[@paramorefan39]

Honestly, best rock band ever.

[@bubblegumrock2808]

I was incredibly sad that the concert in my country was canceled, I think it was due to covid. Glad they uploaded this!

[@AnimorphsUniverse]

I wonder if we'll get more of these. Fingers crossed for Static Prevails!

[@kintaro_f]

outstanding. 36:11 is perfection. 🤘🎸🥁🔥🖤

[@christinelikeschrysanthemums]

Phoenix Sessions 🙌🏻🎶!!! I saw Clarity back in February and bought the T-Shirt, :) yay! You’re my favorite band, thank you, thank you💕!

[@CameronForrester]

Love this band.

[@johnrad6268]

This album is sooooo good!!! In my top 3 from them.

[@ProfJay]

This was a good temporary replacement to their cancelled Concert here in Manila in 2020 (fck COVID). I hope to catch them live soon.

[@werkazwiaderka]

This album hits my grown-up emo soul so hard, man

[@kevinstahl7073]

Still amazing Still rocking Still everything you guys ever were and growing beyond it with every new album and performance Saw you for Kaboo Del Mar a few years back, you brought the energy and killed it Thanks for everything 🤘🤙

[@prahadrumsofficial]

Nice performance, Jimmy Eat World sounds soooooooo good live and so close to their album sound I've always been impressed by that

[@CTFC44]

Ever since I heard A Praise Chorus back in my teens on one of Kerrang!s free CD’s, I’ve been hooked! Seen them live once in Bristol and they were amazing! Please come back guys! And Jim, your voice is 👌🏻😊❤️ They just grow and get better with every album!

[@xmarkhimselfx]

555 is one of a kind. what a creation.

[@robinmccoytunes]

Thank you so much for posting these! Been dying to rewatch! Love you all 💙

[@Jolly-Green-Steve]

I hope we get these for Bleed American and Invented because the one for Futures was amazing.

[@sergio.andrade95]

we need a Phoenix session for Bleed American!!!

[@fd9447]

Ads? Sure they have to pay the bills. Ads in the middle of songs? Come on now. At least put them between the songs.

[@ewelinawarchol]

Surviving.... Jimmy, thank you for helping me to survive my darkest times with your music ❤️ Love you to the moon and back ❤

[@Koragh_]

They really know how to end an album congratulations is a great ending like on future with 23

[@RichRawDawgdrums]

Guitarist has shirt tucked in with no belt! Otherwise awesome cover and great performance!

[@darink5970]

Fantastic! Just saw Jimmy Eat World with Manchester orchestra at the Armory. I wish so much they played more of this album in their show.

[@nickfischenich3077]

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.

[@lukejasprizza794]

Thank you thank you thank you for releasing this. It was a pleasure to watch when it first came out and is amazing to see again.

[@MrFoo-xf9gf]

These guys are really on the point. JEW, always a pleasure.

[@nathansanchez5]

Love Never is so damn good. Im dreaming with a phoenix session: integrity blues to hear a live in studio version of it matters 🥰

[@dontatme7]

What about Chase This Light?

[@AnxiousSeeker]

Amazing record; thanks for uploading it 🎉❤

[@roxtar38]

One of my favorite albums in years. Love the live sessions.

[@mart-maridebruyn1503]

Absolutely amazing! Greetings from South Africa. Yet to see you guys live, hopes are high :)

[@15biks]

More and more into deep just wow 🤘, what a waste of life if they didn't hear this band 😎

[@attben]

Delivery!!!

[@matthewshipley4718]

Are we gonna get a blood sweat sugar phoenix sessions ?

[@AnxiousSeeker]

Such an awesome band wow ❤🎉

[@fathermarcus7808]

I love you guys!!

[@themidnightbusker2209]

Nice video. Is it just me or did they take Criminal.Energy a bit slower than the recording? Thought Zach missed a couple of fills too, but still, sound and video quality are mega! :)

[@science2726]

Jim’s voice gets better every album. How?

[@patson187]

It sounds even better than the record. Such a great performance. 💪

[@dontatme7]

yes even better than the record

[@fedecamusso]

🔥🔥🤘🤘🔥🔥 what a band. Fucking solid.

[@IMMG3372]

Home town band.

[@thegoldenagetvshow]

I'm jealous

[@johnhaltonentertainment4474]

Awesome guys!!! Best live band in the world

[@alwaysevolving281]

I love this album so much. It's like Chase This Light and Integrity Blues had a baby and named it Surviving. It's got the songwriting and artistic experimentation of those two albums, but is trimmed down and to the point.

[@tylerlohnes2196]

555 became my favorite song by them when it came out!

[@cobielicious_]

What an absolute joy to watch you perform 😍 Please don’t ever stop doing what you do, you guys sound amazing ❤️ Happy New Year to you all!

[@hasnablinawati]

Great! :D

[@ryancipkar]

13:30 - 13:37 This bit gets me every time. Love JEW.

[@TheJonnie84]

Man this is so amazing

[@LaraNole]

Your songs will always hold a special place in my heart forever and I loved this album so much

[@videoluvr4204]

i love "Delivery"

[@VictorythroughGrace]

I wanted to see you live last year so badly!!! Thanks for doing this! Love you guys forever! 💓 From 1 homesick Phoenician girl!

[@tb7667]

Feel like the most of the bands I grew up loving in the late 90s/2000s are either gone or not as good anymore, but JEW still rockin as good as ever.

[@stefanlops]

Amazing! Huge fan and enjoyed this live session! Keep up the great work.

[@Nicktendo_64]

Incredible performances. Was meant to see these guys in march 2020. So glad they released these

[@isipwater]

Thank you. I really enjoyed your concert☺️

[@egall1000]

Thank you for sharing these. Missed the original performance so I'm happy to be able to watch it. Thanks for all the memories

[@AnxiousSeeker]

Love your band. Saw you in the states ❤

[@bubule182]

Best Christmas Gift 😁

[@hrngh5678]

So glad for this upload. I was sad I missed the stream because I was not paying attention, add to that the cancellation of the concert in my country. So thanks guys, your album powered me through hard lockdowns.

[@baroz11]

So underrated and unknown in Europe, and in Italy specially! New generations need this

[@shtty17]

I absolutely love this band. Can we get a Bleed American and Chase this Light session next?

[@rzaldi.8]

555 🔥🔥🔥

[@tb7667]

I've never in 20 years seen Jim not give 100% effort in a live performance. He either just loves it or has massive respect for the audience, or both.

[@videoluvr4204]

both

[@kane0387]

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.

[@peaceofpiety]

As a James by blood, hearing Jimmy tracks hits in a special way. Especially being someone who hit rock bottom, went through Ego death, then rose up, and began to fly like a Pheonix. Endless thanks to Jimmy Eat World for the music that lives on in my hearr and has helped to free my spirit. I love you more.

[@chrisneyman]

What a band. ♥️🌋

[@OohRight]

This is one of the best shows I've seen for years. Diamond everyone was really into it

[@darrenXparker]

How does this not have One Mil views!?!

[@weirdfo]

So glad you uploaded this! Watched it live and loved it!

[@fatimaelamin6237]

Still rocking ! Still amazing!!!

[@vi0letcr1me]

5:13 I hadn't heard that before but when the twin lead kicks in that's fucking cool Jimmy Eat World ALWAYS delivers!!!

[@argelmangune6529]

Sounds soooo gooood to the ears, so relaxing.

[@kevinmurphy8717]

This a great mix for live through KZbin.

[@boodge.]

Met singer at my first Sonic Youth show in LA circa 2004. My second Sonic Youth show in Denver, met the singer of Rise Against. Singers love Sonic Youth.

[@peopletalking1953]

THE BEST BAND EVER

[@stevenzin5834]

Pure masterpiece! \m/

[@traceyb9443]

Excellent! ❤
