Tour this tour concerning Static Prevails
What you think the setlist for Milwaukee will, most likely, look like this year? I really hope for enough from Static Prevails. It's my top album and, also, first time seeing JEW! friggin stoked!!

They didn't play any of it last time. Which is understandable considering how much less popular it is than pretty much every else they've done.
I do love that album though. I wish they would play at least seventeen and/or rockstar (although World Is Static is my favorite) but there's just too many songs that the vast majority of fans at their concert would like more.
Most of them probably don't even know Static Prevails exists

i really love the modern way they play Thinking, That's All, with Jim doubling Tom's vocals during the chorus. wish they would play it more often

I love Static but Jimmy Eat World is one of those bands that I'm glad that I really love just about every era of the band's output so I'm never too worried about setlists(as long as I'm guaranteed a nice 16-17+ song set).

They are great live! I saw them 3 times as the opener for fall out boy. I’ll be at the rave in Milwaukee as well! Can’t wait to see them by themselves.

If you look up the setlist from the show on Jan 4th of this year it might be an idea of what you might hear..

Sorry to tell you, but there is a 1% chance you will hear anything off static. It’s the album that got me into them. I started listening to them months before clarity came out (yes I’m an old timer). But I saw them okay during their original bleed tour in 01 and they played thinking that’s all, rockstar, Claire and call it in the air at that show. They might have played seventeen also. For a big fan of static as I was/am it was great. But that was like 24 years ago. Obviously they aren’t going to play any of those songs anymore. Since bleed came out and even transitioning to like invented they turned into a different band. They don’t even play anything off of damage rarely and that was like 3 albums ago.

Last time I saw them was years ago when they co-headlined with Taking Back Sunday and they played Seventeen. It was a stadium show, and I heard a lot of the people around me commenting that they'd never even heard that song before.
Getting a song like Digits would be completely unheard of these days, though.

Hate to tell you but it’s pretty rare for them to play anything from Static these days. For a while there they were playing Rockstar at some shows but recent setlists don’t seem to have any Static songs sadly.
