Third Eye Blind refused to play at the 2012 RNC, but they accepted an invite for a private party held at the RnR HOF this time around. It appears that they did so to troll Republicans.
They saved Jumper, a song about a man who tries to take his life because he is gay, for the end and praised LGBT rights and said gay people need to be brought into the American fabric.
“To love this song is to take into your heart the message and to actually have the feeling to arrive and move forward and not live your life in fear [not] imposing that fear on other people,”
At one point, they asked the crowd "Who believes in science?" and they were met with boos. They responded "You can boo all you want, but I’m the mother****ing artist up here.”

Videos in the link. They teased a setlist that included Semi-Charmed Life as the encore, but they didn't come out for an encore.
One twitter user tweeted at them that she was disappointed in the show, they responded "Good".
It seems like the crowd was mixed in their reception of the message. Some cheered, some booed.
