On Feb. 28, Fall Out Boy kicked off the second North American leg of their \u201cSo Much for (2our) Dust\u2026\u201d tour in a sold-out show at the Moda Center in Portland. I had the opportunity to attend this show, something I have wanted to do since middle school.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Fall Out Boy was opened by Daisy Grenade, The Main and Jimmy Eat World. Even though Jimmy Eat World was an opener, Fall Out Boy, Daisy Grenade and The Main are all influenced by Jimmy Eat World, which was a cool experience for everyone. Starting at 6 p.m., each opening artist had 45 minutes to perform onstage, with Jimmy Eat World finishing their set at 8:45 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n

While waiting for Fall Out Boy to come on stage, the sound tech played various popular alternative songs, including \u201cDear Maria Count Me In\u201d and \u201cDial Drunk,\u201d before they capped it off with Fall Out Boy\u2019s modern \u201cWe Didn\u2019t Start the Fire.\u201d Immediately after, the intro played and out they came.<\/span><\/p>\n

After playing \u201cLove From the Other Side,\u201d guitarist Pete Wentz gave a brief introduction and they launched into their set. Many of the songs were accompanied by pyrotechnics, smoke screens, fireworks and a fire-covered guitar, played by Wentz.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the portion of the show where they played \u201cSugar We\u2019re Going Down,\u201d \u201cUma Thurman\u201d and \u201cA Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More \u2018Touch Me\u2019,\u201d the band had a puppeteered snail on stage, along with inflatable cacti and a crew member wearing a white rabbit suit. The rabbit vibed along with the music onstage, ultimately ending up headbanging with the snail.<\/span><\/p>\n

The band also eventually brought out an inflatable Doberman head \u2014 which was controlled by the same person who wore the rabbit suit \u2014 and had a mouth that had full movement to open and shut. During \u201cThis Ain\u2019t a Scene, It\u2019s an Arms Race\u201d the mouth was utilized to sing \u201cGod d–n\u201d with the audience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The setlist was mostly comprised of the band\u2019s own songs from their \u201cSave Rock and Roll,\u201d \u201cTake This to Your Grave\u201d and \u201cSo Much (For) Stardust\u201d albums; however, they did perform partial covers: \u201cCrazy Train\u201d by Ozzy Osbourne and \u201cDon\u2019t Stop Me Now\u201d by Queen. The latter was preluded by a piano medley of \u201cYoung and Menace\u201d and \u201cWhat a Catch, Donnie\u201d \u2014 \u201cYoung and Menace\u201d had not been played since Oct. 10, 2018.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, it was an extremely enjoyable experience. I have been a fan of Fall Out Boy since middle school, and it has always been on my bucket list to see them in concert. I was partially disappointed that they did not play more from their album \u201cMANIA\u201d or that they didn\u2019t play the song \u201cSave Rock and Roll,\u201d but it was still an amazing experience overall.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
