My Chemical Romance are indeed back, alive, and well. The energy was building amongst the eager fans as Wells Fargo Center filled up on Monday night for the long-awaited return of the Jersey boys to Philly. Gerard recounted their first ever Philly show (booked by Santigold) at The Fire when they were billed as The Chemical Brothers. If you’re from here, you know how much of an accomplishment it is to go from one of the smallest venues in the city to now headlining the largest “venue” in the city.
If you’re an avid fan you’ll have noticed on this tour that a rare occurrence is happening at each show, the setlist entirely changes. This really gives all fans a new element of surprise of which gems from the MCR catalog are coming next. The Philly setlist included:
The Foundations of Decay
Thank You for the Venom
Give ‘Em Hell, Kid
Make Room!!!!
The World Is Ugly
Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)
