This was a pretty good show. I haven't heard good things about MCR live, but they far exceeded any of my expectations.
This was the first concert I've seen in Utah outside of ESA and Usana, and I've gotta say... if The Venue is one of the top venues in SLC, then Salt Lake really trails in comparison to every other city I go to concerts in. If you weren't upstairs by the bar or in the front couple of rows, I doubt you could have seen the band that well. There was audio equipment crap stuffed into the corners of the venue, and the acoustics were terrible.
However, it was a pretty intimate setting for such a popular band, and I really enjoyed it, and it was probably the best vocal performances I've seen... artists have a tendency to pull back a bit, live. Gerald Way seemed to leave it all out there.
Good show.
