[championofidiots]

[throwoutyourarms]

ah, i'm pretty sure this is the la scala show... beautiful.

al.

[theeponym]

It definitely is.

[spiffcorgi]

1:10 is fucking epic. no other word.

[sanjuacharya]

gets me every time. . .the end.

[bunktrunkskunk77]

I have this particular version of sky harbor that a friend sent me. Awesome, slightly varied (and a LOT shorter than the original) but nontheless amazing :D

[ewanmac]

Do you mean a studio version of the version they play here? If so where did you find it?:)

[bunktrunkskunk77]

it's not a studio version, it is literally this live version but sound not video.

i really wish i had a studio version of this !

[ewanmac]

Ah oh I see. Ah well. You're right a studio version would be awesome

[gumbyjag]

i wish they'd play the album version live at least once in a while. nothing beats those 16 minutes of pure joy.

[bunktrunkskunk77]

TRUE.

STORY.

i adore this song.

and this album is a favourite of my collection

[CraftyF0X]

The studio version is much longer (16 minute)

Btw all live version sounds different.. Thi song is always variated and this make it more interestring. I think this is one of the best version cause at the and they using some different sounds that they didn't use in other versions ( i cant describe exactly what i mean cause i never palyed on guitar and dont know what is the differnet in the palying but i hear its not the same) its awesome and the only pain it's shorter than the other versions.

[THISISaSPARTAn]

really true, in the live version it comes back in with another chorus (which the put a large amount of distortion on the guitar) and go wild. i saw them play it live once and it almost melted my tits off haha jk but it was awesome

[co5bass]

I'm not a huge fan of Jimmy Eat World...but this song rocks.

[jewfanboy]

you should see a couple other versions, they're better then this one!

[saj02]

could you give me some examples? i'm in the same boat as co5bass lol

[jewfanboy]

there is a user called Peronian and he has 2 versions of goodbye skyharbor on youtube. search on 'peronian' and you'll be fine :P

[iforwardhamish]

the best j.e.w tune. maybe bleed american or for me this is heaven.

but in all fairness the new album is good. distraction and let it happen do rock.

tomorrow night, london. im there!

[co5bass]

I love this tune!

[ff7fan14]

This song is based on a book by John Irving called "A Prayer for Owen Meany" - you can check the wikipedia article for the Clarity album if you like. If you ever read the novel, you'll notice the connection immediately, many of the lyrics are quotes or paraphrases from the novel. I loved the song for years before I knew about that book though.

[ewanmac]

Omg. Day after 9/11

[ewanmac]

Why did I get a thumbs down for THAT? *sigh*

[neverendingday]

One of the best albums ever.. I still listen to clarity all the time. This is one of my favourite songs on the album.

[justcelestey]

ditto

[Darrenmc61]

class song 1 of the best on clarity great audio for the live version. they cumin to ireland in Feb 08 for CHASE THIS LIGHT cant wait for it

[KAricann10]

Too bad they will never be anywhere near this good ever again =(

[throwoutyourarms]

except they are. i've seen them twice in different countries in the past year and they're on top form.

al.

[Kidonpatrol]

Yeah, their new album is like halfway between Clarity and Bleed America, IMO. You should check it out.

[MrGentlehand]

wait.. it's suppose to be 15 minutes. lol.

[jewfanboy]

dude.. if you listend to the whole song in a normal way, you will notice that there are more than 8 vocal lines in it on the end. and that's why they don't do this live, cuz it's impossible for them to do that ;)

[Kidonpatrol]

Still, I'm sure everyone would have liked to see that drum part at the end done live.

[cozmicaztaway]

Dear god please no, let the horrible Mark Trombino atrociousness that ruins that entire track just go to hell and die!

Oh, and great vid, thanks!

[mevsthor]

I went to their 10x tour and he kept looping his voice. It's a pedal. Pretty rad

[throwoutyourarms]

@jewfanboy no longer impossible ;-P hope you get to see it if you haven't yet.

[lancer88]

hey at the end - that was Flickerstick! :):) - check them out - that was thier video for "beautiful"

[DrSchadenfreude]

Yes, that's what I said. It's been changed now thankfully. It did say 'Londen'

[DrSchadenfreude]

Good recording but please, London is spelled with two "o"s. It would make you look better if you changed the spelling in the title.

[SlyCap]

hrhr ....WUUUUUU!!
