Leave it to My Chemical Romance to call their second full live album - and their second live release during The Black Parade era - The Black Parade Is Dead! Unlike 2007’s mini-album Live and Rare, which patched together performances from MCR’s fall 2006/winter 2007 dates in the U.K. and Europe, The Black Parade Is Dead! is a lavish CD/DVD affair chronicling two performances: the CD captures the band’s October 7, 2007, Mexico City date - their last as the Black Parade - while the DVD features video of that show as well as their October 24, 2007, date at Maxwell’s in their home state of New Jersey. The Black Parade Is Dead!’s grandiosity is only fitting, considering how elaborate The Black Parade was, and also fittingly, the Mexico City show is a song-for-song performance of that album - the only difference is “The Black Parade Is Dead,� where Gerard Way announces to the audience that this is “the last performance of The Black Parade forever!�
