When I think of Jimmy Eat World, a certain 2000s music scene comes to mind. My teeny self was mostly a fan of the "Bleed American" album of theirs which came out in 2001. When "Futures" came out almost three years later, the fangirl inside of me became excited once again.

Attending the Jimmy Eat World show filled me with nostalgia and brought me back to my elementary school days when I used to listen to "Bleed American" for weeks straight. It had been so long since the band had toured so it came as no surprise that the concert was sold out by the time the concert started. Although the Jimmy Eat World is most famous for its extremely relatable single, "The Middle," their show this past Sunday was held in commemoration of the bands last album, "Futures," which was released in 2004.

The tenth anniversary show, held at the intimate Club Nokia venue at LA Live, drew the bands most devoted fans and all sang along with lead singer, Jim Adkins, and the rest of the band (Tom Linton, Rick Burch and Zach Lind) as they played all 11 songs off "Futures." When the band started to play the number one song off that album, "Pain," the crowd swayed with excitement before energetically joining in. The energy of the crowd was what really astounded me at this concert. I could hear their voices coming along to every tune the band played.  

These were obviously fans who, like me, had followed the band for a number of years. At the very end of the show, Jim Adkins spoke to his loyal fans and said, "All you want when you put something out is for people to care so that, 10 years later, you all come out and this music still means something to you, it's the biggest compliment in the world." The sold-out concert was proof that people still cared. The band played their last rendition of the song, "23," and the crowd, including myself, left satisfied knowing that even though 10 years had passed, Jimmy Eat World was still the band I became madly obsessed with when I was nine years old.
