Seeing the show in Seattle yesterday, I have to strongly disagree with the above. Jeremy (and Will and Dan for that matter) was VERY into the music-new and old. I was so amazed by how much passion and emotion Jeremy put into the show. His face portrayed how deeply he felt the songs from The Rising Tide (since most of the songs they played were from the new album). I also want to comment on the back-up vocalist. I thought he was horrible! He sounded all right on Snibe, but he totally ruined One. Jeremy took the low part during the chorus, and the back up guy did the really high falsetto part-it sounded really bad. For most of the other songs, you could hardly hear him, which was probably a "technical problem" (like the unfortunate fact that Will's mic wasn't working). The show was great! My favorites were J'nuh, 8, In Circles, Disappear, and Killed By and Angel. I've never been to a concert before last night where the ENTIRE crowd was so into the music. Everyone was moving, cheering, and getting really into the music. It was an amazing experience.
