Jebediah supporting Jimmy Eat World, Perth

[millhouse]

The Globe was pretty packed when my and my friends got in just after Gyros must have finished, leaving us with the beautiful double-header of Jebediah and Jimmy Eat World.

Just the details on Jebs here folks. I'm not a big JEW fan, not to say that I don't like them, but I haven't trolled the depths of they back catalogue yet. Soon tho, especially after tonite. I'll leave the JEW comments to someone who knows them better.

Anyway, Jebs setlist is as follows

10:00pm-10:45pm

01 . Eveready
02. Animal
03. Yesterday
---------------------
04. Harpoon
---------------------
05. Worlds Away
---------------------
06. Please Leave
---------------------
07. Teflon
08. Jerks of Attention
09. Star Machine
10. N.D.C.


Okies folks - Star Machine got shitcanned when someone in the front row requested Jerks and Ness had a word to Kev, and ... so that was a nice surprise.

Jebs had an energy I haven't seen from them in ages. Not to say that they are usually slack, but right off the bat, I knew this set was gonna rock, and shit - when Harpoon is rock'd up, it sounds great!

Ness' damn phaser (really obvious in the studio version of Number One) has crept into Animal now as well. Sometimes I dig it, othertimes I don't...

Kev broke the strap on his guitar during a track (can't remember which... anyone?) and Fergus played again during NDC, leaving Kev to climb the right speaker stack in the Globe. Very unique indeed

Worlds Away is sounding great. Pity the next album is gonna be a helluva long way off, and Teflon was the same as played elsewhere recently - the intro'ing the band interlude, etc was used.

Kev looked a little frustrated that all the crowd were doing was nodding their heads, but by the end of it, everyone was rocking along solidly. Honestly tho - at the start you would have thought Jebs were playing "Closing Time" or a pan-pine-only version of "Inna-gadda-da-vita" by the reaction from the crowd.

All up - top gig, definately worth the cash, and shit - if this is how Jebediah play for a support slot, I wanna see more of it.

Oh - and Kev stated that "Worlds Away" was a working title, so I guess that might change. Still - it's better than "new song" on the setlist, I guess.

sounds like a great gig..anyone have Jimmy Eat World's setlist or atleast a vague idea of what they played?

[electricity]

In Sydney, Jimmy Eat World played:

all Bleed American singles and 'If You Don't, Don't', 'Get It Faster' and 'The Authority Song'.

one song from 'Static Prevails', although i can't remember which one.

From 'Clarity' - 'Lucky Denver Mint', 'Just Watch The Fireworks', 'Clarity', 'For Me This Is Heaven' and a few more.

I'd say they would have played mostly the same songs, give or take a few. Unfortunately no 'Goodbye Sky Harbour' at the Metro show in Sydney.

[slushpup]

they did play that in perth...i think. second last?..someone should confirm that. im not overly knowledgeable on their old stuff. i know they played blister last night too and on sunday.

no one's mentioned gyroscope yet! rock. .

[bossman]

The melb show had 'call it in the air', 'your new aesthetic' and 'blister'. 'Goodby Skyharbour' was fucking amazing, probably the highlight of the night.

[kelly]

i apologise i cant actually show you my photos because my stepdad wont let me use his scanner

[kelly]

gyroscope played very well also

[sarah]

worlds away is easily the best jebediah song i have ever heard. i love it to pieces, and i really wish i knew more than the line "worlds away from anyone" so i didn't have to keep singing the same thing over and over again in my head. but yeah, great show, fergus finishing with the gang on ndc topped it off perfectly.

ps. no barrier was great, but being in the front row and having people try to straddle your shoulders wasn't such a hot experience.

[kelly]

i liked that even though jim asked that nobody crowd surf, there wass stillone fucker who insisted on doing it constantly

[sarah]

the set:

a praise chorus
bleed american
your new aesthetic
blister
if you don't, don't
for me this is heaven
call it in the air
get it faster
lucky denver mint
just watch the fireworks
authority song
no sensitivity
the middle

encore:
my sundown
goodbye sky harbor
sweetness

the 'bridgey' bit towards the end says something like "go on, go on kick me when im down". that bits cooool

jim called it 'pass the dude'. that was a highlight..before they even started playing
