The Take Over, The Break’s Over: Fall Out Boy is back.

Alexandra Strindberg Contributing Writer

After three and a half years, Fall Out Boy is out of hiatus and are planning to release the new album “Save Rock and Roll” on April 15/16. They surprised fans with the release of a new single called “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)” on Feb. 4.

Along with announcing a new song and album and a United States tour, the band announced three intimate shows in three major cities: New York, Los Angeles and their hometown, Chicago.

The tickets went on sale two hours after Fall Out Boy re-launched their website, and tickets sold out within seconds. Only two hundred fans got the chance to see Fall Out Boy Tuesday, Feb. 5 at The Studio at Webster Hall.

As Fall Out Boy’s second show out of hiatus, and their first east coast show in over three years, there was a lot of pressure added by the fans for this show to be perfect. Most fans had been waiting in the line for hours, but the die-hard fans were waiting since the previous night.

Shortly after 8 p.m., excited yet freezing fans entered the venue and crowded near the stage. The lack of barricade separating the fans from the stage meant that eager crowd surfers could make their way onto the stage.

At 9 p.m., Fall Out Boy took the stage. The crowd moved in closer to the stage and erupted in cheers. Lead singer Patrick Stump grabbed the mic and said, “It feels good to be back,” and started to sing “Thriller.”

The set consisted of 19 songs, not including the three songs in the encore. They played radio hits as well as old fan favorites, such as “A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More Touch Me,” “Hum Hallelujah” and “Dead On Arrival.”

The crowd went wild when bassist Pete Wentz threw up the Jay-Z diamond and yelled, “Please rise for your national anthem.” The crowd immediately knew that the band were about to play “Grand Theft Autumn/Where Is Your Boy,” and every audience member screamed, “Where is your boy tonight?/ I hope he is a gentleman.”

There was not a dull moment during the set as Fall Out Boy kept the intermission between songs short, only stopping to announce the next song and fix guitar straps.

After the initial set was over, the audience chanted “Welcome back!” rather than the traditional encore shouts. The four musicians took notice as guitarist Joe Trohman said, “That was the sweetest encore we have ever received.”

They closed of the night with “Saturday,” with Wentz taking the mic from Stump and screaming the lyrics as he entered the crowd.

The night was one to remember since Fall Out Boy rarely play venues of that size. The audience was left craving for more, as most people yelled, “Can’t wait to see you in May, if I can get tickets!”
