Emo royalty My Chemical Romance are finishing up the DVD of the opulent 'Black Parade' tour.
The 2006 album, which very nearly topped the US and UK charts, was just asking for an over-the-top stage production to go with its rock opera concept. The band certainly delivered throughout 2007, bringing the costume changes, narrative interludes, pyro, confetti and rock bombast to the US, Europe, Japan and South America.The October 7 Mexico City performance was filmed for the DVD, which was deemed the last performance of 'The Black Parade' live. The band had been going through the album track by track, with backdrops and costumes coinciding with the video clips for their singles and singer Gerard Way even opening the show on a hospital guerney with a fake IV drip to perform the album's first track 'The End'.
At the conclusion of the album portion, the band changed clothes during an intermission and returned to play a selection of their older tracks.
In late October My Chemical Romance support Bon Jovi for two shows in both bands' hometown of New Jersey, before taking a rejigged set to Europe, the UK, Australia and New Zealand into December. The DVD is set for a release in early 2008.
