Gerard proving definitively that vocalists do not necessarily peak and start to decline after their 30's if they take care of their instrument. I'm sure Gerard has worked with a vocal coach over the last few years and it really shows, just listen to that high note in Helena! Gerard literally sounds better than ever.
The majority of the comments here seem to disagree. Compared to a lot of live vocals in the genre, even vocalists half Gerard's age, I would say this sounds super solid. There might be dodged notes but a lot of it just sounds like playful variation. Helena is half step down but that's still a very solid, tough to sing Bb4 in the chorus to my ears anyway.
@@Felix-bb2rx yes brother people are delusional I’ll see this stuff all over the Internet trying to say people been 30 or 40 years later sound like they did when they was 20 is a lie, nobody does someone might be still doing pretty good but it’s not exactly the same, it’s obvious to me most of these people don’t sing as good 20+ years later
Plenty of musical theater and opera singers maintain their voice well into their later years. Voices tend to darken and deepen over time but with proper training and healthy habits you can keep it intact for a long time.
This isn’t an understatement. This was really close to being really bad. Way too many people all being funneled into the same direction with no way to get out. I was high as shit on mdma but stayed calm and enjoyed the show.
Nahh. The dresses are not needed. He doesn't have to be more edgy than he perfectly was. Gerard Way is dead. I'll still listen to his first album most of my life though, cause that was the real Gerard Way/MCR that was never forced to do music that needed to be mainstream or do stupid public stunts like this.
Have you actually been to a real show? I've seen mcr three times on this run and there's not even been real pits. Do you go to hardcore shows or anything like that? All I see is a bunch of people being crammed in, nothing actually scary at all?
From all the latest videos of them performing I’ve seen, it seems that Mikey is the biggest fan of MCR hahaha. Makes me so happy to see him being more emotional and active on stage than ever
This was a wild night. My friend and I were way back and someone had a seizure or something by us right before Helena. Everyone around was flashing their phones and screaming for help, but obviously we were in the thick of the crowd so it was very hard to hear. Eventually a medical team came in and got them. Hope they are okay :(
It amazes me how good he still sounds and how they all are still so good after all this time and nun of them really look all that old ether I mean definitely different than when they were 20 but that expected, but they are, and will continue to be amazing I love pretty much all of songs, not gonna lie.
Not only am I short and the crowd was so unsafe near the front and throughout, but I also lost my prescription glasses that night before their set even started. So thank you very much for filming and sharing
Saw them in the pit at NYC a couple weeks ago, they did the same thing with pushing the crowd back, as well as every couple songs security was handing out dozens of bottles of water so everyone in the pit could get hydrated, it honestly saved me because by the third song i felt like i was gonna pass out
I saw My Chem once at Warped Tour. They were going on right before Fall Out Boy and it was during the Three Cheers tour. When I say that I've yet to see a crowd become as ravenous as they did when a band hits the stage, I'm saying that as someone who has countless shows in the past 15 or 20 years. IMMEDIATELY the band had to start telling people to back up because it was just this unstoppable wave of kids surfing and moshing everywhere. I kinda felt bad for FOB having to come on after that. Like, how do you top it? Good on Gerard and Co. for not being dicks and acknowledging that there NEEDS to be a bit of space. They don't want their fans getting hurt.
It's so sad that the first time I was able to see MCR live was also at one of the worst festivals I have ever been to. Crowd was horrendous, multiple injuries, EXIT signs barely visible, several reports of someone having a fucking gun. (my girlfriends bag wasn't checked at security so I don't doubt it). Waited around a good 15-20 minutes after MCR to leave so the rush wasn't crazy just to be sardine packed into a massive crowd shuffling on top of each other at the ONLY exit. I've been to really shitty festivals but this is one of the first ones that we genuinely didn't feel safe returning to, and we had 3 day passes. Shout out MCR for babysitting the crowd and trying to keep us safe, because god knows the festival organizers weren't.
really the only thing riot did wrong was massively overselling, especially on the friday single-day passes, bc honestly a lot of the mess is on the amount of fans that came solely for mcr. there was just waaayyyy too many people, more than theres ever been at the fest, and a lot of them had never been to riot or even any fest before and didnt know how to act. lots of people camping at the barricade all day and getting majorly dehydrated and starving, a lot of people even bought 3-day passes just to try and sell them off after seeing mcr on friday. it was just too much for anyone to realistically handle, while saturday/sunday were much more chill
I have never really been a fan of this band but I will say that they sound really good live and seem to put on an excellent performance. So many punk bands often sound pretty bad live (particularly vocalists) but this is very solid. I dig the theatrics too. Kind of reminds me when I first saw AFI on the 2001 warp tour. It was very dramatic and theatrical. Good stuff
My son was in to them when they first came out and so I heard them all the time. Took him and friends to a few of their concerts and they became one of my all time favorite bands. Seeing them live was always the best. some of the best concerts I've ever seen.
Hi, Thanks so much for filming and uploading this. I was towards the back and could only see the big screen mostly. I did glance at the stage and see made sure to see them on the actual stage and they looked like tiny ant people. This recording looks like a completely different show then I saw from the back. Love seeing Mikey moving around so much. He's so happy.
Same! I had an okay spot in the middle during Taking Back Sunday but I had to pee so bad it was painful. So by the time MCR was on I just had to watch the screen the whole show (and I didn't even have a good view of that).
Love how every few songs at every got they are checking to make sure the fans are safe and getting them to back up. I seen them at Milton Keynes and then Warrington and I need to see them again!
@@studio94video the pit was a disaster. the festival completely screwed up and sold too many tickets without hiring enough security/water stations and didnt account for how popular mcr would be. people were breaking their legs and passing out and having seizures. i was basically diagonal the whole show. i felt terrible for the band actually cause at one point they saw my friends and i getting crushed and got frantic :( they saved lives by stopping so much, i seriously cannot tell you how amazing it was that they did that
@@soup8786 i’m very aware, however this was unprecedented and unexpected. that’s why the band stopped so much and had their production manager come out to calm us down. if you look up any audience reviews of the show, the pit was violent and dangerous to the point of actual outrage. the band was incredible but it was so genuinely dangerous down there.
@@mira-ih2yo that's how it felt at milton keynes on the Saturday. We had to move back like 4 or 5 times and the pits were causing people father back to be pushed down and crushed under the ripple. At warrington the following week it was much nicer. Depends on the people as well.
Thank you for sharing this! I went to the show in Atlanta after this Riot Festival show and G went on to say that shit went wrong in Chicago and thanked their crew for going above and beyond - he said it got really scary... so it must have been pretty awful for the squished people. I hope everyone was OK!!
I was at this show with my bf and another couple. We thought parking by the stage an hour before Taking Back Sunday (they played right before MCR) started would give us an advantage in the crowd. It did not. We were probably only 10 rows back, so pretty damn close, but the closer it got to 10pm the worse the crowd got. We had run out of water, it was probably a good 90° in the crowd, and we got hit hard and shoved by so many people just in between sets. We were packed in so close that you couldn't move your arms or feet and boiii did it stink in that crowd. It was legitimately hard to breathe. Lol. It was definitely the roughest crowd I've ever been in and there wasn't even a pit. We evacuated as soon as TBS was done and went to the very back to recoup. Sucked not seeing my favorite childhood band up close but it was still a great weekend. Yungblud's crowd wasn't half as bad as MCRs and his stretched about as far as MCRs. Luckily I DID get to see him super up close (3-4 rows back) bc we had parked by the stage to see Jake Hill and Jxden beforehand. Got to help Jake Hill up on stage, me and two of my friends helped security hold him up on the barricade. So fucking awesome. And btw, Jake Hill's performance was AMAZING. He is so underrated. If you like rap or alternative rap at all go check him out. He's a sick rapper and his rough vocals are soooo fucking good.
Sounds better here than it did in the back,l. In the back you hear people singing and I was like dang it let me hear him.Thank you for recording,i was to happy for this in the moment.
There was one about 9 minutes in that didn't get tagged, another at 59 minutes, the talk at 78 minutes asked them to back up and probably missed one or two myself, so at least 9 times plus their manager coming out.
Unbelievable that they still sound as great as they did 20 years ago!Gerards vocal skills haven't aged a day,his fashion sense has a little though.But in conclusion,they rocked it,thanks for posting this,knowing I'll never get to see them live myself,unfortunately...
Thanks so much for recording and uploading! I was busy fighting for my life out there so it's nice to be able watch this again, but in a chill environment lmao
I was fortunate enough to have a great time close to the stage but it's pretty obvious that the event was both heavily oversold and full of MCR fans who weren't used to crowds like this, especially since Riot Fest usually brings out a pretty rowdy and intense crowd to start with. Thankfully it doesn't seem like there were any serious injuries but this was the second scariest crowd I've ever seen at Riot Fest. Number one goes to System of a Down's headlining set in 2015. The MCR mess can be chalked up to bad planning and a lack of preparedness while the SOAD crowd was massive and filled with people who showed up intent on fucking shit up and hurting people.
Remember waking up to my sister playing their music, at that time i was young but through the years it stuck to me and i really just never felt so close to any other band like i do with mcr
Love this band since 2007 bro But 2002 im just only 2 years old that time haha i found them at 2007 listening to a CD AT 7 years old headbanging in the front of speaker haha.those good old days will never get old period.
I was so upset i didn’t get to see much of the set bc i was struggling to breathe in the crowd but hey i now have footage of me flopping over the barricade at the end of NaNaNa.
I'm thoroughly enjoying this! his outfit how this man can make that look good I'm not sure. I don't think I'v'e ever hear a band Sound so true to original sound. MCR!
Amazing you got a recording like this and thanks so much for uploading! I was fighting for my life for most of the show, so couldn't enjoy a lot of it.
from nashville here, they did am amazing set there, but damn, alot of these songs i would have loved to hear. all that being said, glad i got to see them once again.
@@Arguetil3am I am genuinely curious if you understand that Frank doesn’t play the solos in the songs, thats Toro because hes the more talented player and thus the LEAD guitar player. You kept zooming on Frank during the solos even though nothing he did changed during the entire song and solo because he plays chords the entire song. Ray goes from chords to shredding on solos. Thats why it makes sense to show him during the solos because hes the one shredding. Shredding looks different from strumming, when someone is strumming they are playing chords. When they are picking rapidly and their fingers are moving up and down the guitar they are soloing.
@@josephddd117 dude, were you there? it was chaotic, crowded, and hard to focus. sorry they didn’t do something to fit your needs in the spur of the moment
This is so cool. I saw them last night for my 1st time in L.A. 5 sold out shows at the forum. Being in the pit is thing of the past for me and festivals for that matter...which i only did one in 2003 (coachella) and it was my last. Even then i realised i couldnt do festivals. I live thru people posting recordings od them. I still get out to rock shows tho, my mind n spirit want to be in the pits but my body says "bitch chill" 🤣. My back n feet cant stand for that long and handle the pack of sardines anymore. I gotta do seats now but still have a great time. The smaller venue concerts standing i can handle ok but man do i have to prepare before and take it easy for couple days after lol. It was pretty epic seeing them. So glad i finally got my chance. I have had this on listening while i clean up kitchen n do dishes..saving so i can actually watch later. Think its cool Gerard took such regard for the crowd and backing up and having the crowd/fans look out for eachother. I remember being in pits where i swear i couldnt breath and had to get out of there. Yup at 48 im too old for that shit now lol. I can check iff MCR off my concert bucket list. I hope it wont be my last. The younger 20 sumin girl in me still lives a lil lol ♥️😊😉🤘🏼
What sucks is all of us who were smart and didn’t push-up during the first song were forced to keep moving back further and further. I ended up 50 plus yards back from where I started 4 hours earlier 😑
Yeah that is annoying, but it's better than someone never going home because they were crushed to death. I'd rather you be annoyed than someone get killed or hurt, every time.
This is such a great video. Good job! And thank you for uploading this. I’m seeing them next week in LA. I’m crying now, I can’t imagine what I’m gonna be like in person! Lol
I'm really curious to see what will happen when all of us 90s kids are in the Home. Because we'll have a lifetime of knowledge of technology and different eras of music. It's gonna be funny when there's 90yr olds listening to Eminem and pop-punk from the 2000s and shit in the Nursing Home hahaha.
I was at this show and there were a lot of older rock guys sticking around from the previous set - as soon as Gerard walks out a dude next to me chokes on his vape and goes "IS THAT A WOMAN?". incredible vibes that evening.

37:39 Gerard's neighbor is french y'all, that's some epic MCR lore right there
hydration game: take a big swig every time gerard has to ask the crowd to back up/let people out who are gonna pass out!
I love seeing Gerard be so completely comfortable in his own skin. As a fan since damn near the beginning, it makes my heart happy ❤
Totally! It is a thing of beauty and a true joy to watch.
Good Luck!

Plenty of musical theater and opera singers maintain their voice well into their later years. Voices tend to darken and deepen over time but with proper training and healthy habits you can keep it intact for a long time.
Great to see a performer care about their audience safety and not just get wrapped up in their own performance.
Almost died during this set but still had a great time. I can't believe I actually got to see them live. What an amazing show and so worth the wait
This isn’t an understatement. This was really close to being really bad. Way too many people all being funneled into the same direction with no way to get out. I was high as shit on mdma but stayed calm and enjoyed the show.
It's beautiful to see Gerard come into his own. He seems more confident and he's such a creative legend.

I feel like my chemical romance haven’t changed at all i wish I could say thank you for making my teenage years bearable
Me too!!!😁
👍👼😇 MCR is the 1 N only my favourite Band 👍😇👼🕺
Props to you for getting such a stable video. That was probably the craziest/scariest crowd I've been in since SOAD at Sonic Temple a few years ago.
I live in Columbus that show was insane!!
I was 6 rows from the front and it was absolutely terrifying but I had such a good time!
Have you actually been to a real show? I've seen mcr three times on this run and there's not even been real pits. Do you go to hardcore shows or anything like that? All I see is a bunch of people being crammed in, nothing actually scary at all?
Yeah i was pretty far up and at first I almost thought I was gonna get crushed.
I pity you if you think that crowd experience was crazy. Try coming of age in the late 80’s/90’s underground scene
From all the latest videos of them performing I’ve seen, it seems that Mikey is the biggest fan of MCR hahaha. Makes me so happy to see him being more emotional and active on stage than ever
Definitely a new Mikey 🤣🤣🤣
Nah, it's Frank
at the end of wttbp when u see a pink haired dude crowdsurfing that was me!!! felt like the best song to crowdsurf to
oh yeah i saw lol
lucky you!
Was I at this concert? Yes. Did I watch this video all the way through anyways? Yes.
Lmao same cause being 5'2 in this pit was...not great visually
same, because I was in the back and could not see much :(

Were there any openers? About how long after show start did they come on?
@@dirty1067 It was a music festival, people were standing at this stage since 12:30 pm and waiting for them until they came on at 8:00
I was right by there too! ):
I saw the dude come through with the wheelchair 😬 I hope that person didn’t see NIN. Their light show was insane.

Unbelievable that they still sound as great as they did 20 years ago!Gerards vocal skills haven't aged a day,his fashion sense has a little though.But in conclusion,they rocked it,thanks for posting this,knowing I'll never get to see them live myself,unfortunately...
@@Zappappappappa he said "pit", not "moshpit".
@@benkraze3103 pit is synonymous with mosh/moshpit.
Thanks so much for recording and uploading! I was busy fighting for my life out there so it's nice to be able watch this again, but in a chill environment lmao
amazing recording my friend!! thank you so much !!
They still sound awesome! I'm blown away.
Frank's back up vocals❤️
I was fortunate enough to have a great time close to the stage but it's pretty obvious that the event was both heavily oversold and full of MCR fans who weren't used to crowds like this, especially since Riot Fest usually brings out a pretty rowdy and intense crowd to start with. Thankfully it doesn't seem like there were any serious injuries but this was the second scariest crowd I've ever seen at Riot Fest. Number one goes to System of a Down's headlining set in 2015. The MCR mess can be chalked up to bad planning and a lack of preparedness while the SOAD crowd was massive and filled with people who showed up intent on fucking shit up and hurting people.
THANK YOU SO MUCH seeing them in such good quality feels insane
I’m seeing them in a few weeks and I really hope they keep this EXACT set list because I will bawl my eyes out the whole time !!
Thank you so much for recording, so we all can join the hype 🙌
LOVE the outfit Gerard is wearing.
Remember waking up to my sister playing their music, at that time i was young but through the years it stuck to me and i really just never felt so close to any other band like i do with mcr
MCR is my 1 and only favourite Band my #1 Band since 2005 when was i'm a kid 🎸🥁🎶🎵🎹🎤🏆👍🕺👼😇
Esto va a ser un desmadre en México 😂💕 thank you so much for recording this!
Love this band since 2007 bro
But 2002 im just only 2 years old that time haha i found them at 2007 listening to a CD AT 7 years old headbanging in the front of speaker haha.those good old days will never get old period.
Props to the one who was singing the high note in famous last words!
Black parade too - can you imagine being stood next to her.
@@maelstrom567 i wouldnt notice, because all of us will be singing together😁😁😁😁😁
Omg I love this band they all seem more happy and care free now and I am living for it.🎼🎸❤️❤️🔥
I was so upset i didn’t get to see much of the set bc i was struggling to breathe in the crowd but hey i now have footage of me flopping over the barricade at the end of NaNaNa.
Was debating buying tickets. Watched this and instantly bought a ticket lol. See y’all in Oakland (:
I'm thoroughly enjoying this! his outfit how this man can make that look good I'm not sure. I don't think I'v'e ever hear a band Sound so true to original sound. MCR!
Thanks for uploading the whole mcr concert I couldn’t see anything because I was all the way to the back by the sound booth
Amazing you got a recording like this and thanks so much for uploading! I was fighting for my life for most of the show, so couldn't enjoy a lot of it.
this was my first mcr concert experience and it was incredible
Just saw them in Boston recently and relived my exceptional experience with this video. Love riot fest wish I could have went
from nashville here, they did am amazing set there, but damn, alot of these songs i would have loved to hear. all that being said, glad i got to see them once again.
I wished they played more bullets songs, but they sound super good after these years!
Thanks for the video. But damn wish you'd filmed Ray more
I’m a Frank girl - most of my vids are going to be Frank heavy ❤
@@Arguetil3am frank forever
i just wanna say "terima kasih '' for filming and uploading this with amazing quality ♥
Salam dari Indo bang 🇮🇩
semoga mereka ke indo tahun depan 😭
This is amazing you got all of it and kept the camera straight haha I feel like Im there - Thank youuuuuu thank you :)
No me imagino la locura que esto va a ser en Mexico 🇲🇽🤪
Un compa me acaba de confirmar que si vienen al palnorte 😉
my heart aches with the lack of ray toro screen time
nah but fr thanks for getting this vid
sorry but i just love frankie and i realize lot of camera time is spent on the left side of the stage 😊
@@Arguetil3am I am genuinely curious if you understand that Frank doesn’t play the solos in the songs, thats Toro because hes the more talented player and thus the LEAD guitar player. You kept zooming on Frank during the solos even though nothing he did changed during the entire song and solo because he plays chords the entire song. Ray goes from chords to shredding on solos. Thats why it makes sense to show him during the solos because hes the one shredding. Shredding looks different from strumming, when someone is strumming they are playing chords. When they are picking rapidly and their fingers are moving up and down the guitar they are soloing.
@@josephddd117 dude, were you there? it was chaotic, crowded, and hard to focus. sorry they didn’t do something to fit your needs in the spur of the moment
@@josephddd117 be thankful you even got this video in 4k. Go watch another video with a different angle
This is so cool. I saw them last night for my 1st time in L.A. 5 sold out shows at the forum. Being in the pit is thing of the past for me and festivals for that matter...which i only did one in 2003 (coachella) and it was my last. Even then i realised i couldnt do festivals. I live thru people posting recordings od them. I still get out to rock shows tho, my mind n spirit want to be in the pits but my body says "bitch chill" 🤣. My back n feet cant stand for that long and handle the pack of sardines anymore. I gotta do seats now but still have a great time. The smaller venue concerts standing i can handle ok but man do i have to prepare before and take it easy for couple days after lol. It was pretty epic seeing them. So glad i finally got my chance. I have had this on listening while i clean up kitchen n do dishes..saving so i can actually watch later. Think its cool Gerard took such regard for the crowd and backing up and having the crowd/fans look out for eachother. I remember being in pits where i swear i couldnt breath and had to get out of there. Yup at 48 im too old for that shit now lol. I can check iff MCR off my concert bucket list. I hope it wont be my last. The younger 20 sumin girl in me still lives a lil lol ♥️😊😉🤘🏼
Thank you for uploading! I was there in the back ❤️ could only see the screen parts of the time
What sucks is all of us who were smart and didn’t push-up during the first song were forced to keep moving back further and further. I ended up 50 plus yards back from where I started 4 hours earlier 😑
Yeah that is annoying, but it's better than someone never going home because they were crushed to death. I'd rather you be annoyed than someone get killed or hurt, every time.
You getting annoyed is better than someone getting injured by overcrowding.
This is such a great video. Good job! And thank you for uploading this. I’m seeing them next week in LA. I’m crying now, I can’t imagine what I’m gonna be like in person! Lol
My family and I were there all weekend, and MCR was on fire. Had to be 100,000 people there dancing and singing along to every song.
Esa bandera de México hace que se me acelere el corazón de pensar en el CC 22 ✨♥
I aim to be that person, even if I’m in a care home, singing Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na) at 93.
I'm really curious to see what will happen when all of us 90s kids are in the Home. Because we'll have a lifetime of knowledge of technology and different eras of music. It's gonna be funny when there's 90yr olds listening to Eminem and pop-punk from the 2000s and shit in the Nursing Home hahaha.
Love Gerard's "Grey Gardens" vibes. I thoroughly enjoy his outfit choices for this tour.
I felt like he was giving Jackie O.
I was thinking Breakfast at Tiffanys
I thought it's to support what's happening to iranian women no?!
There is literally NOTHING "cool" about dudes dressing up like chicks. Period.
@@eldeguello9154 Boo this man! Boo!!!
HE IS TOTALLY SWEET AND CARING. OMG. THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
Thank you phonixrai.. you are the best ❗️
I was at this show and there were a lot of older rock guys sticking around from the previous set - as soon as Gerard walks out a dude next to me chokes on his vape and goes "IS THAT A WOMAN?". incredible vibes that evening.
It’s crazy. I went to firefly best night of my life. I’ll never forget it. And they literally sound amazing still.
Wish they came to South America!
Vamoooos 💪🏻
I was at Meshuggah and Converge the same night what a contrast 😄
Thank you soo much for this! I was behind the sound booth and had a terrible view! Sounded fantastic though!!
26:10 Put your hands up again. Very calmly...
41:08 IT ME! Rectangle glasses behind the girl looking past you
I saw them in OKC and damn this is amazing! It's soooooo great to see MCR back again!!!!
god i hope i can watch them live someday 😢 so many memories..!!!!
Por fin una canción del primer álbum
en concierto de nuevo ;)
Por fin un comentario en español :)
