A STAGE

[before disappear]

[Gerard]: Liverpool! It is so extreme very nice to be here today, thank you for having us! You are looking lovely today, I see some wheat in the audience… we are The 52nd Regiment of The Black Parade! We are supported by the Draag National Auxiliary Band! And we are here in support of the most handsome man alive, please put your hands together and make some noise for the [indistinct], His Grand Immortal Dictator! Ahh… yes, sounds good to me. What say you? Have some fun? Sure! How about it!

[before sharpest lives]

[Gerard]: Blood! Blood! Blood.

[before i don’t love you] [elexecution]

[Gerard]: Team effort! Alright, merry old fucking England! When you came in today—hold on, hang on, I’m getting water. This song’s really entertaining. It gets better the more you listen to listen to it over and fucking over again. Hold, please. ‘Cause you gotta stay hydrated. You don’t wanna—anyway, when you came in, you got one of these, right? You got one of these? So, one side, says yay! Everybody say yay! The other side says Nay! Alright. You guys have democracy or something like it here, right? We’re gonna try something out right now. See these people over here, with the hoods on and jumpsuits? They may have been [indistinct], they could be from the prison, who knows, it doesn’t say. Apparently they’re really bad people. I’ll take their word for it. So what we are going to decide right now, if they live or if they die! So. If they live, you don’t want them to die, you put the nay up. That’s how this works. Let me see the nays. Impressive! Let me see the yays. Fuck yeah. Alright, then. Let’s do this. Roll, please! Ready! Aim! Fire. That’s some gruesome fucking deaths we got here. That’s it! Get ‘em all off! Get them the fuck outta here. I don’t want what you’re selling. Yay! Didn’t that feel good?

[during mama][dagger part]

[Gerard]: Hello! How are you! How are you! You feeling better? Looking quite well! I’m gonna tell you a story, it’s a short story, trust me, it’s a short story. We were in jail, for something, like, two hundred and forty-seven years, and, after a while, you know, you’re there for a long time, you start to meet people, where I got this little dude, he’s the coolest. He’s the coolest, he gave me extra gruel, when he didn’t want—I don’t think he ate very much, I think he was made outta plastic, whatever[?]. And then he says, hey! I said what—he says hey! I’m bored of playing dice! No more dice for me! I said, what do you wanna do? He said, I want you to lean real close. I said okay. He said, I’m gonna whisper in your ear… something special for you…

[introducing Marianne]

[Gerard]: Marianne! We have Marianne back with us! Sure happy to see you, Marianne! Are you happy to see us? Sure you are. This is Marianne. She’s a wonderful singer. And she sings a part of this song, who was sung by a very big singer a very long time ago, she’s gonna help us tonight. What we’re gonna do today is, we’re gonna count her in. Y’all sing with us, alright? So we can all do it together. Goes like this. I said one. Two. And then you go, one, two, three, four. Let’s try it. Come on. How does that sound? Let’s try it. Now this time for real. Are you ready?

[before disenchanted]

[Projection guy]: Our time has come. The button pressed, and a simple act has meaning. A single word repeats across the stars, and then our hearts. Greatness. Then comes a time when all must ask, what cost to hide? What loss so great, to scrawl our names in sand? Or chisel them in concrete? Goodnight, my friends. Goodnight to all.

B STAGE

[Gerard]: Thank you Clarice. Please make some noise for Clarice Jensen. We’re My Chemical Romance from New Jersey. Alright Liverpool, hands up! Up! Up! Up!

[before venom]

[Gerard]: We don’t need to turn the lights on! Maybe, they, uh—they need help, or something, over there. Somebody’s going to come. Fuck it, the lights aren’t all too bad. Let’s help them out. [indistinct] You get the thumbs up. They’re coming around. So, I was actually gonna say this, um, anyway, um, Liverpool is Frank’s favourite football team. Like, he’s fucking, way into it. [indistinct]. I used to go see the Cosmos from New Jersey. Have you seen the Cosmos? Who saw the Cosmos here? He did. My friend, he’s the only one here who saw the Cosmos. [at frank after the crowd chants] Look at him, look how fucking happy he is, man. Come on. Happiest fucking person in the room. Can we get over there? Can we g—we’re good. Okay. We’re gonna leave the lights on for this next song, though. ‘Cause it’s that kind of song.

[before helena]

[Gerard]: Alright, you can turn the lights off. You’re pretty, like, for real, I could’ve made, like, some stupid, ohh, they’re so ugly, turn ‘em off. ‘Cause it’s not true. You’re fucking pretty. That’s what it is, Frank. On the dead mic, he said, you’re too pretty. Can’t keep looking like that. That’s the way it goes. It’s like that. We have two more for you. Thank you so much. This is an amazing way to start the tour. Really appreciate it. [indistinct] we gonna do the intro to this one? What’re we gonna do? Okay—we’ll do that.
