Review Third Eye Blind Concert July 15 2017

Every bit I cross the Cumberland River en route to Ascend Amphitheatre, I slouch into my driver's seat and relax a flake. It'due south been a tiring day at my new job. Hell, information technology'due south been a tiring few weeks adjusting to this new dwelling of mine in Nashville, TN. Having spent most of my fourth dimension since moving here assembling article of furniture, working, and trying to observe my place in a grouping of friends in a strange new town, an evening of familiarity is just what I need.

All I desire is to alloy into the crowd with my camera, belt the words to some onetime Tertiary Eye Blind tunes with a field full of strangers, and watch Stephan Jenkins strut around on stage.

I'g however considered "new" to Nashville, although, I feel like I should know my way effectually town a petty better by now. Patently, I'm still new plenty non to know that since Ascend sits in the center of downtown, 10pm dissonance ordinance is a strictly enforced rule. That means the ticket which reads "7pm" isn't a proposition of when to head downtown, simply rather the gear up fourth dimension of Silversun Pickups. 7pm on the dot.

My moment of relaxation abruptly ends as I get to the other side of the bridge. I hear the familiar driving guitar part and vocal harmonies of Silversun Pickups coming through my passenger side window, which didn't stand a chance at staying up in this perfect summertime weather. Surely enough, I'chiliad missing the action. Shit.

Role of me (most of me) wants to turn effectually and go habitation. Information technology'd be easier to lay in my comfy new bed and fall asleep to Netflix until I have to wake up for work again tomorrow. That sounds ameliorate than overpaying for parking to run across a bear witness that'south already half over.

As if on cue, "Weightless," off of Third Eye Blind's latest releaseNosotros Are Drugs, comes through my car speakers. The words, "I never actually loved annihilation that didn't scare me," pierce my dubiousness, even though I attempt to ignore them.

I didn't move to Nashville to pay bills and hide under my covers with quondam episodes of The Office. I came hither to button myself at a new job, explore a new metropolis, and try new things.

My mind'due south made up. I pay way too much to park in a lot that's entirely too sketchy to crave payment at all. Equally I enter the amphitheater, "Lazy Heart," ends and Silversun Pickups retire for the night. I call back I should've headed dwelling.

3rd Eye Blind takes the stage and my anxiety fades. Stephan is wearing the same shoes as the concluding time I saw them a few years back. "Weightless," is the first song played. The lighting is spectacular. Nostalgia, simply in an unfamiliar place.

It'southward evident how much thought, attempt, and heart was put into planning this bout. From booking outdoor venues to capture the summery vibe, to the stage which is meticulously set up for dynamic stage presence, to the lights that perfectly set the mood for each song; it all coalesces perfectly. The swirling lights around Kryz Reid'due south melodic guitar office during "How's It Going to Be," are the prototype of perfect stage lighting.

This 'Summer Gods Tour,'" Jenkins explains, "is to say thank you for letting u.s. brand music as our jobs for the last 20 years. If it weren't for you singing these words with us this whole time, nosotros wouldn't be here."

I'm confused past the humbling words coming from a tour of fellas indirectly challenge to be gods, simply I feel blest, still.

Jenkins continues, urging the crowd to support the struggling musicians here in Music City. He reminisces on times in San Francisco when Third Eye Bullheaded was just starting out. He stresses how instrumental their supportive metropolis was to them in their band's boyhood. It's the kick in the ass I need to keep my chin upwards.

Equally I watch and listen to the closing songs, Cumberland River in the background, I can't help simply think I'm right where I need to be.
