Fall
Out Boy
Folie a
Deux tour 2009
In contrast to the ACM Awards
(American Country Music Awards) playing next door at the MGM the
same night, Fall Out Boy and their fellow rockers shook the roof off
the Palm Hotel Peal concert venue Sunday night in Las Vegas NV.
Opening up the FOB 2009 Folie a Deux tour was Cobra Starship, Metro
Station, and All Time Low. Not a bad value to see 4 bands for under
$50.
Fall Out Boy began their show
with a video montage themed around security and riots in various
cities while security sirens and flashing red lights permeated the
arena. Accompanied by fully equipped SWAT officers Pete Wentz,
Patrick Stump, Joe Trohman, and Andy Hurley arrived on stage looking
beaten and banged up. Promoting their latest album, Folie à Deux
they opened the show with a pair of songs off their latest album and
the quickly jumped into some of their classics.
The sound quality was
substandard but the band’s energy made up for any production
downfalls. Like at any FOB show the high energy audience helped make
the almost 90-minute set seem effortless and well worth the ticket
price. With so many other distractions in Las Vegas this sold out
show was a testament to the dedication and loyal followings Fall Out
Boy has. |
