Gerard said so many good things. I hope I can remember them all.
He said something along the lines of "We won't be back for a long time. We're gonna go away for 2 years to write an album for cowboys. Are you all cowboys and cowgirls?"
The crowd went wild.

I remembered every song MCR played.Cool Where could I post it? Here?
Oh, please do =) do you remember anything else Gerard said? I had a really hard time understanding some of the stuff
he said in between songs =/

I just watched those Very Happy
They're lovely! I would have
brought my camera to try and sneak
it in, but I didn't want to risk getting
it taken away. :[

Oh, during Helena, some kid got escorted [and dragged]
out of the show by security or cops, does anybody know what happened?

Okay, so . . .

A lot of stuff got thrown onstage. Gerard put one of those things on Mikey's head during a song. I thought it was a tiara at first. Tehe Then Gerard said that it's a Karate Kid headband. He was like, ranting about it. I didn't understand most of the rant. Maybe he said "So, you go to a concert and you throw a Karate Kid headband onstage?" But he was ranting for about 2 minutes.
Gerard had it around his neck later on.

And a shoe got thrown onstage. Gerard said "We don't need more shoes. I've already got two." That was the same shoe that hit me in the nose. I'm serious!!!

Wow, that's great. Thank you for the videos. In the first one, the camera is only a little closer than where I was. That's probably some of my screaming we're hearing.

Oh I remember both of those things happening! The Karate Kid headband thing was great, he was all like "So this guy over here *points to guy* he wore/brought/has (can't remember it exactly) a Karate Kid headband" and then a bunch of stuff I don't rememeber, but I do remember him saying something like "we're going to bring the Karate Kid party here!" haha =) oh and I remember him looking at Mikey and saying something and smiling and Mikey said something back and smiled and then Gerard went and put the headband on Mikey! And it kept sliding and it ended up around his neck. then later Gerard had it around his neck, and I saw him take it off...never saw it again after that.

and I remember seeing the shoes fly on stage and him being all "I don't need your shoes, you keep those." or something and that's all I could understand.

XD I remember the shoe thing. I was kinda mad that
people were throwing things on stage. Right as Bob was about to come
on, someone threw an open water bottle which hit his
cymbal. Then someone threw another one later on during one of Ray's solos [a couple times, actually], and it nearly hit him.

Then during Mama, at the end Gerard was pretending to weep
while saying "I'm too young to die!" and then, did he say "I'm too pretty to die!" or something like that? XD

^^ After Mama he said "Mama! I can't die! I'm too young . . . and pretty." He was really whining there, it was awesome.

Okay, I'm not entirely sure on the order. I know what the first three songs were, I'm pretty sure. I know what the last song was.

This Is How I Disappear (It was the first song they played last time they were here, also. I know the reason; "Drain all the blood and give the kids a show." )
House of Wolves (I was screaming "S-I-N I S-I-N . . ." )
The Sharpest Lives (Gerard held up his hand while singing "Lather the blood on your hands, Romeo." )
Dead!
Mama (That performance was made by Gerard's whining/pleading at the end.)
Heaven Help Us
Hang 'Em High (I never thought I'd hear them play this song.)
Headfirst For Halos (I'd always wanted to hear them play my favorite song in person.)
I Don't Love You
The intro to Vampires Will Never Hurt You (It sounded so right the way he sang it.)
Give 'Em Hell, Kid (I guess I always have a hard time recognizing this song when I hear it in person.)
Cancer (People on here have said Gerard has the crowd sing "Know that I will never marry." That's exactly what he did.)
Kill All Your Friends
You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison
I'm Not Okay (I Promise) (Gerard's intro: "This is the number one summer song . . ." It was like what he said in LOTMS.)
Welcome To The Black Parade
Famous Last Words (I loved the bright lights during "These bright lights have always blinded me." )
Teenagers
Helena

I know there's a song I'm missing.

I actually heard the part after Mama! I'm about 96% sure that it was: "I don't wanna die! I'm too young....and much too pretty!" xD

Did anyone hear what Frank said during I'm Not Okay when he was supposed to go "trust me"? I couldn't hear him.

Didn't they cover a Bob Dylan song too--or am I crazy?

Do you guys remember when someone fell up in front and they were having a hard time getting up? Gerard said something like, "Come on now, help each other out." (I was just a bit behind that btw) It was super cute and super nice of him to say that.

Bob's hair was sooooo long! It was crazy!

Oh God, thank you for noticing! I was confused as hell during the show. Gerard said something along the lines of "this is a bob dylan song" were upon I screamed "F*** Yeah" cause I love all the dylan stuff I know. Well the song they played I never heard before, and I figured that eithor he was just being sarcastic about an older MCR song I didn't know or it really was a bob dylan song I didn't know. Turns out, it was a Dyaln cover called "Desolation Row" My God if only I had gotten the CD out from the library sooner I would have known the song!

Also does anybody know if they played "Disenchanted" on Thurs? I have no memory of it, but my friend said they die. Its quite possible, but I spent about 1/2 my time staying balanced and rescuing little girls who should'nt have been in the pit ~ Rex

I pretty sure they didn't play Disenchanted...but, I don't remember them playing The Sharpest Lives and people are saying that they played that.

Okay, I'm correcting myself. I caught what Gerard said after Mama on my phone (records sound but not videos) and it was "I'm too young to die.....I'm too young.....and much too pretty" so yeah, I'm 99.9% sure this time =)

There was a girl [i think it was a girl anyway] who was where
i was, which wasn't the very very back, but there was enough space between people, and she decided to go crowd surfing. Well, she got up and all, and I
was holding her up, and someone gave her a rough shove and she fell to the
floor. I felt so bad! I think she might've hit her head, we all tried helping her
up and it took quite a few of us because she couldn't move, but then she walked it off. I hope she's okay, cause I know that floor wasn't soft.

Oh yes, I forgot about the Bob Dylan cover! I knew they played something
I didn't recognize. I think I pulled something in my calf, i was on my tippy-toes a lot of the time and jumping in every song that I could, it hurts like no other!

Oh! So I know there's an inside joke between a lot of INOers on here, you know the 'Garry' joke? Well, funny story, I don't really know how that joke began or what it means, but at the concert on the 17th, someone had a pink balloon floating around and this girl behind me caught it, and she said 'wait! let me read what it says!' and it said 'Team Garry!'. I laughed just because I knew where it came from. XD


But anyhow, how was the 18th show?!

OH I saw that pink balloon! And I know how the whole Garry thing started! But only because I constantly lurk in the Rumors thread. It all started with this Hart Fisher guy who has a comic book company and he wanted some attention, so he decided to get mad at Gerard and Dark Horse (publishing company for The Umbrella Academy, incase you don't know) for saying that TUA was Gerard's first published work because he supposedly published something of G's when he was like 15. It got blown waaaaaaaay out of proportion. And for the record, I don't remember Gerard or Dark Horse ever saying that TUA was Gerard's first published work. The funniest part was that the Hart dude posted it all on LiveJournal xD No letters, no emails, no phone calls. LiveJournal.
Moving on to the whole Garry thing, Hart posted an open letter to Gerard on LiveJournal and near the end of it he goes "Why'd you do me like that, Garry?" and before that he explained how Gerard went by Garry at that time xD So then the people in the rumors thread ran with it and made it into an INO inside joke.

So yeah, that's the story. Sorry that its so long.

I want to hear about the 18th show! Stories? Pictures? Videos?

The 18th was amazing! They did so well. Gerard told us he liked us better than the night before. Razz Haha.
I made it up to the gate, and everyone was like 'Look, it's little kid!' Bah. >.< I hate being 5'2". Girls can to be in the pit...we just have to be careful. The only person who fell down in the pits I saw was a twenty year old with a mohawk...someone threw a shoe at Bob...he looked kinda mad. And James Dewees did a solo part. It was awesome. Smile
