"...Queue the blackout and slow rise backdrop as My Chemical Romance (MCR) took the stage. Of course the crowd roared and pushed forward but only a little. Still plenty of room to dance and enjoy the space. Gerard Way and band started immediately into Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) from their newest release Danger Days. Mass crowd jumping (my favorite) and fist pumping ensued along with sing-a-long style hysteria and continued all the way through I'm Not Okay (I Promise) and Planetary. Softer songs like The Only Hope for Me is You, Kids from Yesterday and Scarecrow lulled the angsty teens (and adults) into a sway of tempered emotions only to be thrown back into the pit of disenchantment with Mama and Teenagers ... a beautiful black pit. MCR closed out the show with Welcome to the Black Parade and a somber Cancer with only Gerard on stage.
The show ended without much ado after he left the stage and left the audience at the lowest point of the performance. MCR helped to create the black pit of anger and belligerence and we willing followed them deep within the core. At our weakest moment, MCR left us wallowing in the sadness and sorrow without a rope of hope for one more song. Never fear! This happy-sad-happy sandwich ain't over yet!"
