My Chemical Romance

In this electrifying live recording from August 10, 2003, My Chemical Romance was riding the wave of their debut album, 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love.' Released just a year earlier, this album was a raw and emotional concoction of punk and emo, setting the stage for the band's signature sound. By the time they took the stage at The Boardwalk in Orangevale, CA, they were starting to catch the attention of a growing fanbase. The concert captures the band's spirited performances, showcasing songs like 'Vampires Will Never Hurt You' that blended dark themes with catchy melodies. Fun fact: this was during the early phase of their career, when they were known for their energetic and sometimes chaotic live shows, a characteristic that would eventually help shape the emo and punk scenes in the mid-2000s.
