A last minute decision and a well timed purchase from Seat Geek got me to the Fall Out Boy concert with friends last night. They’ve certainly come a long way in the past 20+ years and their show game speaks volumes. Between multiple set changes which included various backdrops, a giant doberman puppet head, some fun video screens, and lights galore, the query seemed to be, where can we add more fire and pyrotechnics? The answer, more than you would expect from your typical rock show. Nailed it!
