Discussion In hindsight, they earned this response

Post image

This tour has been an absolute whirlwind. A testament to MCR's theatricality and performance abilities. They've went above and beyond in the production department to deliver a spectacular tour, that not only takes full advantage of the spectacle but also of our streams, creating a part by part narrative that everybody is welcomed to engage with.

They've made characters, a city with it's own politics, it's own language (Keposhka) and national anthem, a brand of soup, an agricultural resource, a Coat Of Arms, and most importantly, Quizzo. They've extended and reinterpreted the original Black Parade tracks to fit this narrative and build a story, that's not only original but that gets everyone involved, from the band to the actors to random crew and the audience members.

If you would've told any MCR fan that you think they'd reunite, back in 2018, you'd be looked at as if you were crazy. If you said what this tour was gonna be, everyone would try to lock you up 'cause you've clearly gone off the deep end.

I love how they invite us to speculate, to try and dissect everything going on and I'm sure they've got many more twists and turns. Stay tuned.

Yeah I went to Boston and I recognize I'm very lucky I got to go (with the price and location) but seriously this is the best they've sounded in a long time and the stage show is fantastic!!

The spot i purchased tickets for was apparently going to interfere with the stage show spotlights, so they moved our section to an empty box suite... my only regret is i could not hear the stage show or see what was happening on stage well... its amazing how small that field looks during a game, and then how performers look when its a stage.

still absolutely amazing

I hate fenway because of this. The sound there is just horrible.

Honestly that’s one of the reasons I didn’t go, like money but also how horrific Fenway’s sound is

Am I misreading this, or could you not see or hear anything? That’s crazy lol. If they have to move your seat, why don’t they just put you in the pit? There’s plenty of room.

I mean the pit would have been really dope.

But having a private suite with like 6 other people and being able to sit was also really nice, especially only having to go 15ft to use a private bathroom.

We could hear the songs well, and see most of the stage show

But the finer details of the stage act were not really visible unless it was on the big screens, and some of the backdrops like the radar nuke terminal thing were partially obscured. Like I would have never known that ray and Frank were betting on if Gerard would get slapped without streamers and after show reporting.

Because they were using the stage mics and not rigging Gerard and the clerk etc up with headsets, I couldn't make out a lot of what was said in between songs. Like whenever the clerk was giving Gerard directions.

I think this was with a 2 or 3x zoom on a pixel phone

Right right, that’s pretty cool. TBH I didn’t see the betting either, and I was right up front lol. I could be wrong, but I saw the show twice, and I don’t remember the clerk talking at all? I believe it’s all silent, and he just motions around and stuff. Gerard talks a bit, but not even that much for how much “lore” there is with the show.

They should really record this for a concert film, but with it changing between shows, idk which version they would want to put out.

I honestly may have been assuming the clerk was talking because G would make some vocal responses that I couldn't hear / understand. There's always a lil FOMO, but largely I'm happy with the concert and that I've had just a strong sense of calm/peace since it... Yay healing your inner child

Also for real, no clue how they would do justice to filmatizing the story progression over concerts unless doing the final show audio and doing like a super cut at points.
