And this, kids, is what a real musician looks like. Someone who has actually mastered an instrument through years of practice, and who can actually sing instead of using autotuning or lipsyncing.
Back in 08 my dad got us some free MLS tickets for a game in DC. During halftime, Jimmy Eat World played a short set and it was so unexpected. There was barely anyone there at all and they gave it their all. I was like 12 and thought it was awesome.
Aaaand you just watched the most expensive single song solo performance Jim has ever done... I would bet he got paid pretty good for that performance, especially if he didn’t even personally know any of those people... and it was money well spent. He sounded great, as good as anyone ever could with just an open mic set up... and the memory for all those people is priceless.
It’s 2024 and I still watch this video once a week. Absolutely incredible!!!
Fun Fact: Jim Adkins also played at Tom DeLonges wedding in 2001

calm down
Relax lmao
Relax lmao
I would love to find a man who feels the passion in Jimmy Eat World. Sharing that level of connection would be bliss!
Such a good dude man. Been a fan since 2000 and shockingly they are the only “favorite” band I’ve never had the pleasure of seeing live

how come you never saw them live man? 🙏
The maid of honor follows this with, "for those of you who don't know me..."
This makes this band even more special to me
This is so damn cool. I'm mad jealous.
This almost makes me want to get married lol, I'm not in favor of marriage, but if Jim Adkins comes to sing, why the hell not? :D
@Tyler Davis It's just not for me 🙂
If jim was in my wedding i would leave my husband for jim lol
You said it!! 💜
If jim was in my wedding i would leave my wife for jim.
Man I love Jim Adkins. P.S. congrats luckiest couple on Earth!
Hahaha, the sweet old ladies saying "I think we're too old to know!"
Jim is a true professional.
My favorite band of all time. Wow I have so many memories. Makes me wanna cry
Woow they even got Gary Oldman presenting Jim!

If I could afford it, I'd pay it. Money comes and goes but a memory is forever.

Super duper cool. Jim Adkins is the MAN-dkins.... give me a point for trying.
I just teared up thats pretty insane, it confuses me actually how this happened lol.
What I wouldn't give for this to happen to me ! I would die
How?! I need this 😍
What a guy!!!
One of the Groomsmen was friends with Jimmy. The Grooms favorite artist was Jimmy, and this was a total surprise for him?
Jimmy isn't Jim
Im getting married this November. I. Would. Die. Congrats!!!
This is so fucking cool💗
this is insane
haha this is so fuckin' rad
WHO'S CUTTING ONIONS?!?!?!?!
I wonder if he'd play a funeral for the right price? I'd give my last $10,000 for him to play "For Me This Is Heaven" as they closed the casket on me
what an idea
Rich kid keeps winning.
should have had him play "opener"
I am assuming that if Jim was not a friend of someone there, he would be paid. I wonder how much?
Wait, is Tessa the girl from the Sure and Certain video?
Jimmy eat some wedding cake
What song is this
Chase this light
name of the song?
Chase this light
uhh what song?
the song is 'chase this light'
OH MY GOD serious question, how did you make this happen???
I will save for life
