Wed 30 Apr – Jimmy Eat World, Paramore, Dear and the Headlights

I’ll begin this review by saying I had a few doubts about this concert. I had seen Jimmy Eat World at a Green Day concert, and they played a great show, but they got little to no response from their audience (except, of course, when they played their hit single “The Middle”). I didn’t have a very high opinion of Paramore and I had never heard of Dear and the Headlights. But for all the reservations I had about this night, the concert exceeded all my expectations and was an experience that I literally won’t shut up about.

The opening act, Dear and the Headlights, didn’t have the energy you’d expect from a rock show at the Tsongas Arena. Part of the problem, I think, is that they aren’t really a loud band (there’s an acoustic guitar and keyboard in almost every song!) and the Tsongas arena is really a place to hear heavy rock or rap music. Sound-wise, there was too much emphasis on the bass and drums to let the softer stuff shine through…
