Panic! Get Larger Than Life at MSG
Wowza! Panic! at the Disco pulled out all the stops on this leg of their North American tour. Tonight they stopped at Madison Square Garden Theater here in New York City.
Who would have thunk it possible, but as you can tell by the photos, the boys have gotten even MORE ostentatious and elaborate in their costumes and set design for this tour. Whereas the last time I saw them in full concert at the Nokia Theater, the overall theme was Moulin Rouge meets harlequin dolls, this time it was all Revolutionary War hero meets Victorian circus, with tasseled coats, elaborate waistcoats, buttons, and (of course) ruffles. That’s right, NO WINDMILLS! Instead, large circus props, like a lion’s cage, and an elephant platform.
The makeup was decidedly more on the “dark” side, with Brendon sporting hollowed-out eyes and dummy lines running down his jaw. Ryan had blood-red eye makeup with neat little black spider-leg lines sprouting out. He’s starting to look less baby-faced–with noticeable stubble and his longer hair giving him a more mature look. (But sadly, no ROSE VEST.)
The boys sounded in fine form–much better than when I saw them do two songs for the Boost Mobile Rock Corps event at Radio City in September. Songs like “Time to Dance” and “London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines” had the crowd jumping SO much that I could feel the floor boards wobbling right under my feet–which I have to admit, was just a TAD bit scary. I’ve only been in a few situations like this before and every time it happens, I’m convinced the floor is just going to cave in right underneath me.
Bassist Jon Walker kept an eye on Brendon, in case the lead singer was planning a sneak attack.
I couldn’t resist posting this photo for your amusement.
I figured you guys could blow it up and practice kissing your future husband Brendon Urie from the comfort of your very own home. Pucker up! Hahahah!
ahhhhhhhhryro

[...] Last night I headed over to Rebel, which is *gasp* midtown east, making it my second night in a row in that neighborhood–which is kinda like a nightmare of mine. But I sucked it up in order to see the great Scottish band, The Cinematics, who I have gushed about 10x over on this site. [...]
Brendon’s jacket is looking mighty Black Paradish. I’m just saying…
Indeed, the jacket IS very glamrock-victorian/harlequin-boy/Black Paradier. I kind of want it. Lol. Anyway; Ryan’s makeup is ahh-mazing, I love it.
The picture of Ryan is absolutley awesome!
