Jimmy Eat World is the reason K (Erik Kastman) and I went to
the Xfinity Center that night, but Incubus kept us gripped afterward. The performers, fans, and production values
were intense, so it all worked.
--- “Stellar”: “How do you do ittttttt?" The crowd is enhancing every song!
--- “Nimble”: Lol at how wild frontman Brandon Boyd’s hair
becomes.
--- “Anna Molly”!!!
The potential turning point in the concert. Panic falsetto combined with Foo drive and a
sickkk crowd makes it *click.*
--- Heh, “Why would we go anywhere else? We could just stay here.” Well played.
--- “Love Hurts”: nice smoky vibe.
---- “Megalomaniac”!!!!
I wanted it to go on for five more minutes. It’s also funny hearing the word “Jesus” come
from a guy who looks like Jesus blended with Malcolm from Survivor. Plus, wooo at the
keyboardist's mega hair flip. Oh, and
after Bush left office (the original subject), the lyrics ceased to have any
political relevance...
--- “Here in My Room”: And everyone takes a breather.
--- “Wish You Were Here”: solid singalong that let me
panorama the audience. Oooh, a preview
of next month’s Pink Floyd show!!
--- “State of the Art”: decent new song. The fact that a third of the pit knows all
the words is impressive. K says, “It has
a nice little swing to it.”
--- “Pardon Me”: Hehe at the record-swiping section. Awww at K and most others singing word for
word throughout.
--- Heh at “you guys sing well -- very, very well.”
--- “Drive”: I like how paint-by-numbers the rendition
is. I.E.
Get it out of the way before returning to true fan songs. Cool guitar section near the end.
--- Modem sound leads into “Love in a Time of
Surveillance.” The “Pass The Baby
(Here)” vibe returns.
--- “Pantomime”: middling.
[I take that back. It builds
well.]
--- Cool dark bloop effect during “Sick Sad Little World.” Cool wash out section and abstract
visuals. Then a huge drum section. Ironically, the first song in forever that I
haven't smelled pot. Keeps
building!!! Triptastic. In the TOP THREE.
--- Lol at some guy to Brandon Boyd: “We love your abs.”
--- “Dig”: okay.
“Loneliest”: better.
Smokier. Nice bass inflection on
the last “tonight.”
--- “When I Became A Man”: oooh, SPACEY. Transitions awesomely into “Throw Out The
Map”!! Such a simple, meaningful chorus.
--- “Nice to know you, goodbyeeeeee.” The guy next to me's lyrics, motions, and
mania added so much to the song!
--- Oooh, sitar section in “Aqueous Transmission.” George Harrison what what. The guy next to me FLIPS OUT. Me, to K: “So that's what I look and sound
like at a concert.” K: “Yeah, you
do. Good job.”
Grade: A
