Yesterday (July 4), My Chemical Romance played Bellahouston Park in Glasgow, Scotland as part of their ongoing tour in support of The Black Parade’s 20th anniversary. In addition to pulling out several fan-favorites and concert essentials, they surprised everyone in attendance by playing a beloved yet obscure single live for the first time ever!
“Ambulance” Gets Its Live Debut + Other Setlist Details
About halfway into their second set (comprised of miscellaneous material from throughout their career), MCR delighted concertgoers with the live debut of “Ambulance” from 2013’s Conventional Weapons LP.
As Loudwire wrote back in 2012, the disc was a compilation of “scrapped pre-‘Danger Days’ material” that aimed for a more straightforward sound and direction. More specifically, the 10-track Conventional Weapons included five singles released between October 2012 and February 2013. “Ambulance” was the A-side of the second single (with “Gun.” being the B-side).
“I don’t know which one of the EPs it was off of, but this song – the second one, Frank [Iero, rhythm guitarist/backing vocalist] knows. I think he sequenced them – this song is called ‘Ambulance,’” frontman Gerard Way explained before launching into the song.
In terms of the setlist, the song appeared between “I’m Not Okay (I Promise)” and “Our Lady of Sorrow” (per setlist.fm), and expectedly, much of the crowd sang every word alongside Way.

In addition to those tracks – and after kicking off their show with The Black Parade in its entirety – MCR also treated fans to catalog staples such as “Helena,” “Hang ‘Em High,” “Bury Me in Black,” “The Ghost of You” and “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na).” Oh, and just as they did on June 30 in England, they brought out Clarice Jensen to perform her piece “From A to Be.”

Other MCR News
Back in May, we ranked every My Chemical Romance album (excluding Conventional Weapons), and in June, we felt old including the band in our list of 29 bands that are “dad rock” now (and there’s nothing you can do about it). (To pour more salt into the wound, we also included Avenged Sevenfold, Blink-182, Fall Out Boy, Foo Fighters, Green Day, Weezer, Linkin Park, Metallica, Slipknot and No Doubt.)
At the end of June, we also discussed 5 big questions My Chemical Romance need to answer before the ‘Black Parade’ tour restarts. Among them were “Is This Leading Up to Something?” and “What’s Happening With the MCRmy?”
Hopefully, all of them will be answered by the time the tour is finished!
Are you surprised that MCR pulled out “Ambulance” for the first time ever at Glasgow? What do you think of their set overall? Let us know!
