That's how we came together.
There was a music scene going on in Sac-- San Francisco and we didn't join it.
We didn't get into it because we wanted to fit into it.
We did it because we felt like we didn't fit in.
(street noise) (indistinct talking) (street noise) (indistinct talking) - I'm not satisfied.
- [Cameraman] No, just smile.
Oh!
(indistinct screaming) (indistinct talking) - Oh!
(street noise) Okay, that was... (traffic humming) (bass guitar strumming) - Brad, you all good?
Okay.
(bass guitar strumming) - [Stephan] One more time.
One... (bass guitar music) Um, can you guys back up a little bit?
(dramatic synth music) (drums beating) (rock music) - [Stephan] Playing Red Rocks is in the first week of the tour.
I don't know how we're gonna do it.
That's not when you want when you wanna make a concert film.
You want to do it in the middle of the tour, not the beginning.
It's gonna be that moment on stage where you're looking at each other, making sure we agree about where we're gonna go, or, uh, agree that we're gonna find out.
We don't have time to play all of them.
We can kind of mash 'em, you know?
(note cards rustling) We're an indie rock band and we have been disguised by some hits, which I'm happy to have, but I'm not happy to be defined by them.
- [Brad] This is the first time I've really been able to look at the body of work collectively, and it was the first time I was able to sort of step back and not be so judgmental and just sort of enjoy what has been made.
- [Stephan] So, this tour is really about trying to give some total sense, which we're gonna fail at, but we're gonna try.
(light music) (mysterious suspenseful building rock riff) (riff continues) (music builds) - Look away.
- There you go!
(Stephan trilling) - [Stephan] I think that you can't help but set yourself up in your mind when you have a show like the 25th anniversary of your band at Red Rocks to make it so that in your mind it's gonna be perfect.
(soft rock music) (driving guitar music) But it never works that way.
I was really concerned that we weren't gonna have a show at all.
When I get a migraine.
I lose my English.
I can't...
I don't remember the words.
(Stephan groaning) (Stephan panting) That's the first time I've thrown up before a show since we've been a band.
In 25 years of doing this, we've never had a lighting guy quit on the day, but he did.
So the fill-in guy had this incredible task.
(distant piano music) (drumsticks thudding) (vocal warm-up sounds) (soft piano music continues) - [Stephan] And then, I lost my voice.
(vocal warmups continue) (audience applauding) (audience cheering) The thing that I love about this band is we can trust each other, we can love each other, and we can trust that we're gonna go out there and stomp.
We fight for each other's space.
That's what makes Third Eye Blind magic.

You got your plans, you have everything that you hope for, and then there's what actually happens.
There is no moment that's absolutely perfect.
There's just the moments that we have.
And we can find perfection in them.
We can find joy in them.
You have to put yourself in the way of life.
And that lesson has become increasingly more clear to me.
(indistinct talking) (indistinct talking) (indistinct talking) Just gonna get my phone.
(Stephan singing) (Stephan singing) (Stephan singing) - What the-- ?
Oh, it's this way.
Okay.
(Stephan singing) Nobody saw that.
(Stephan humming) (Stephan humming descending scales) - [Stephan] You really want to film this?
This is going to be the most boring movie ever.
Like, concert films are boring, this one's going to be really boring.
I'm bored.
