Panic! At The Disco put on one heck of a show at Moody Center in Austin, Texas. As part of their Viva Las Vengeance Tour, they performed their new album in its entirety plus a handful of previous hits.
A few minutes before Panic! at the Disco appeared on stage, a timer came up on the big screens. It was fun to know exactly when to expect the show to start and the crowd joined together to countdown to the very last second. Brendon Urie appeared as if from nowhere and started singing the first song of the night “Say Amen (Saturday Night),”. They continued the concert by playing other fan favorites such as “This is Gospel” and “Miss Jackson.”
During an intermission, Mr. Urie changed his outfit to mimic the new album, Viva Las Vengeance, and began to play the title track. PATD! played the entire new album in full. Fans happily sang along to the more popular hits “Don’t Let the Light Go Out,” “Say it Louder” and “Something About Maggie”.
After getting thought the entirety of Viva Las Vengeance, they got back to their roots. They started off with “Girls/Girls/Boys,” to which the crowd sang every word. They followed that up with the bands biggest song of all – “I Write Sins Not Tragedies.” Brendon was in a stupor after they ended the song, saying he had never heard a crowd sing as loud as we did in Austin that night.
Panic! at the Disco ended the night with the song that made them reach the top of the charts – “High Hopes.” With a strong start and victorious finish, the audience filed out of Moody Center with huge smiles on their faces.
