Third Eye Blind last played Pittsburgh in 2022, visiting Stage AE on July 13, 2022, on their Summer Gods: 25 Years in the Blind tour.
To celebrate the 25th anniversary of their hit “Jumper,” the band will release the first playable 0.999 silver-coated and 0.997 gold-coated seven-inch vinyl singles.
“Twenty-five years in, ‘Jumper’ makes a message of the value of a common heart. I’m happy that this is the first message immortalized on precious metals,” Third Eye Blind singer Stephan Jenkins said in a release. “The song has gone from dark to light. It started as a noir — where I am talking to somebody telling what I would have said to them had they not jumped off the Coronado Bridge. Pretty dark stuff. Now when I sing it, it is a celebration of understanding and inclusivity, and you can see how eager people are to express that feeling. I love it. I love the transition.”
