A week after kicking off the “Long Live: The Black Parade North American Tour” with a thrilling show in Seattle, My Chemical Romance made their way to Oracle Park in San Francisco, California, on Saturday night. Our photographer Raymond Ahner was on the scene and you can see his exclusive photo gallery below.

After opening the show with a full performance of their 2006 emo classic Welcome to the Black Parade — complete with a choreographed stage show — MCR delivered a second set packed with greatest hits and fan favorites. The San Francisco setlist differed significantly from the Seattle tour kickoff, as the band played songs such as “Thank You for the Venom,” “Summertime,” “Boy Division,” and “The Kids From Yesterday,” along with a cover of The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Bullet With Butterfly Wings.”
My Chemical Romances’ “Black Parade” tour will next hit Los Angeles, with dates still ahead in Arlington, TX; East Rutherford, NJ; Philadelphia, PA; Toronto, ON; Chicago, IL; Boston, MA; and Tampa, FL. Fans can look for tickets to MCR’s sold-out Black Parade concerts here.
