[@DougRG]

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

[@kelamram]

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

[@HenryMyth]

Recommit and Delivery are just too good.

[@werkazwiaderka]

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

[@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

[@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.

[@nickmoore7020]

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

[@pheebler]

555 is my fav ☺️

[@agenerichuman]

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

[@stevengordon9990]

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

[@dontatme7]

I like the slow climbing feeling

thank you!!

[@BrandonSmithYT]

You’re welcome! 😄

[@videoluvr4204]

thanks

[@jalucaru]

555 is such a masterpiece

[@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

[@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

[@Koragh_]

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

[@xmarkhimselfx]

555 is one of a kind. what a creation.

[@IMMG3372]

Home town band.

[@thegoldenagetvshow]

I'm jealous

[@user-xv2vv2is3f]

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….😳🤪

[@paramorefan39]

Honestly, best rock band ever.

[@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.

[@sergio.andrade95]

we need a Phoenix session for Bleed American!!!

[@davidsells5162]

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!

[@ryancipkar]

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

[@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.

[@baroz11]

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

[@AnxiousSeeker]

Such an awesome band wow ❤🎉

[@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.

[@napneto]

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

[@kevinmurphy8717]

This a great mix for live through KZbin.

[@MrFoo-xf9gf]

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

[@AnimorphsUniverse]

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

[@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!

[@ewelinawarchol]

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

[@CameronForrester]

Love this band.

[@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.

[@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.

[@tylerlohnes2196]

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

[@attben]

Delivery!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@patson187]

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

[@dontatme7]

yes even better than the record

[@roxtar38]

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

[@AtomicTreeDude]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@johnrad6268]

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

[@papadankelson5480]

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

[@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

[@kintaro_f]

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

[@bubule182]

Best Christmas Gift 😁

[@mayday02]

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

[@darrenXparker]

How does this not have One Mil views!?!

[@blacksunshine7485]

Awesome set of performances. Futures is king

[@stevenzin5834]

Pure masterpiece! \m/

[@15biks]

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

[@Jolly-Green-Steve]

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

[@fatimaelamin6237]

Still rocking ! Still amazing!!!

[@christinelikeschrysanthemums]

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

[@LeedsHypnotherapist]

This is a band absolutely on point

[@OohRight]

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

[@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?

[@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!!!

[@robinmccoytunes]

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

[@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.

[@johnhaltonentertainment4474]

Awesome guys!!! Best live band in the world

[@user-qi7nn3qe2t]

Thanks for putting these up. All 3 performances were so good. Something fresh, but familiar at the same time. I can't wait to watch them again.

[@egall1000]

[@Nicktendo_64]

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

[@VictorythroughGrace]

[@traceyb9443]

[@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.

[@bucketmcpretty9786]

Amazing job guys!!!

[@mart-maridebruyn1503]

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

[@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.

[@lemonWilldowski]

Good, very very good

[@shtty17]

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

[@videoluvr4204]

Solid

[@VLKV_loves_you]

phenomenal live sound, i miss phoenix.

[@deeplyshocke]
