Maia Stern | March 13, 2025 Stephan Jenkins told me that he regularly watches Tiny Desk concerts, so when it came time for Third Eye Blind to play one of its own, the band took the opportunity seriously. Leading up to the show, Third Eye Blind played a handful of mellow gigs at smaller venues, stripping down its arrangements, blocking the stage with the same dimensions and leaning into the challenges and limitations of the Tiny Desk.
This set starts at the beginning. "Slow Motion" and "Motorcycle Drive By" are early Third Eye Blind tracks; they may not have the name recognition as some of the band’s bigger hits, but those who know, really know. "Dust Storm" was one of the first songs that Jenkins and guitarist Kryz Reid co-wrote during the pandemic. Jenkins also introduces "Like a Lullaby," officially released today, as a brand new song that the band has never played before.
For the last song, Jenkins requests some help from the audience. "Jumper" has so much emotional weight, so when multiple voices belt out, "I would understand," there’s a real sense of togetherness in the room — a sweet moment that adds to the many reasons why I’ve loved this band for so long.
