There was lots of development on the main stage this show, some of it building on Night 1. The changes I noticed are listed below, so what I really want to talk about here is the more subtle things on the main stage. A lot of people were pointing out that Gerard's acting was different in the first half of the show, rather more complicit than usual, and quite less unhinged, for lack of a better word. However, they still resisted when the guy in the suit (i can't remember what everyone calls him) tried to slap them. But overall, there was a change in behavior from the Black Parade last night, and I can't quite tell what it means yet. My vote is in the realm of time loop theory, brainwashing, and possibly torture.

Please note that there is no evidence in the way of torture. It just makes sense and - AS A STORY POINT - I'm rather fond of it.

Watching a stream and ready for the show tonight!!! I always watch nocoolkidsallowed on Twitch

Update 1: Main show just finished; cellist is playing. Things that occurred:

• hot dogs again
• voted for ketchup or mustard but also execution, crowd supposedly chose mustard, execution happened
• gerard blocked the guy from slapping him twice, but still got hit in the end
• gerard read the puppet a book about trains
• other stuff was all fairly similar I think, but if I missed something, feel free to remind me on my tumblr

Update 2 (7/28/25): B stage Setlist:

• Helena
• Na Na Na
• Ghost of You
• I'm Not Ok
• Cemetary Drive
• Foundations of Decay
• Bullet With Butterfly Wings cover
• S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W
• You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison
• Kids From Yesterday

So here's the deal - I was travelling last night, and I couldn't watch the stream. SO OF COURSE that's the night that something happened. I still don't know what happened during the main show, but PAPER KINGDOM SONG!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I downloaded these images and a lot more very quickly from tumblr, and I don't know which ones are from which shows, or whose pictures they are. None of them are mine, and I think most were pulled to tumblr from instagram. If I had to guess, I'd say most of them are from Seattle? None from LA 1 yet...
