Taking Back Sunday at SUNY Stony Brook

with Jimmy Eat World

Taking Back Sunday performing on stage

Both bands were riding big album years; tourint touring on follow-ups on monster albums. Jimmy Eat World had just put out Futures in October and Taking Back Sunday dropped Where You Want to Be in July. It was a proper co-headline; alternating who closed. I don’t remember which band ended the night, but I remember the room being packed and the blurry audience shot below is accurate about my memory of this one.
