In The Audience: Jimmy Eat World

Music is my first love and I firmly believe that nothing will ever change that. I started going to gigs in 2007 and I've been hooked ever since. I've had many opportunities come my way since creating my own music website two years ago. I also release monthly online music magazines and run a music PR firm too. While it can get a little crazy sometimes, it's nice to be able to go to a show where I can be a fan rather than a critic. Yesterday, one of my all time favourite bands Jimmy Eat World finally came to my city, and after waiting over five years to see them I can't tell you how excited I was.

After arriving in town and being pleasantly surprised that there was no queue at 4pm, Caitlin and I headed into Mile Castle, which is a pub, to get a drink and catch up. It wasn't long until we ended up ordering food, and soon after we were joined by Penner and Min. We left the pub at 7pm, just as the doors to the venue were opening.

We waltzed straight in and took a prime position at the barrier on the left hand side. I'm useless at gigs unless I'm on the barrier, and I definitely wasn't expecting to get such a good spot at last nights show. I could ramble on for hours about the songs they played, what they mean to me and their general personas and performance, but instead I'll say this. Seeing Jimmy Eat World live isn't something I thought I'd get to do, and I can't describe how thankful I am that it happened. They certainly didn't disappoint, and were definitely worth waiting five years for. There's just a certain feeling of fulfilment seeing the people who have written the songs that you find yourself quoting, sing them at you live on stage. It was just incredible. You can see a video that I took from the show here.

Have you ever seen one of your favourite bands live?
