Panic! At the Disco is thriving on its short jaunt with the reunited Blink-182.

“It’s great,” said drummer Spencer Smith, during an interview with The Flint Journal from a Boston tour stop. “It was amazing. It’s been awhile since we’ve done a tour where we weren’t headlining. We’ve done festivals and stuff, but it’s fun to be done playing at 7:45 and just get to watch the rest of the bands for the rest of the night. We know a lot of people on the tour already and to see Blink, it’s been a lot of fun.”

Smith, along with fellow original member lead singer Brendon Urie, watched Blink-182 from the soundboard on opening night and was impressed by what he saw.

“I’d only seen them one time and that was in like 2000/2001 when they toured with Green Day,” Smith said. “It’s pretty amazing to see those guys back on stage. For me, playing drums and watching Travis (Barker, Blink-182 drummer) do a drum solo where he goes up in the air and flies around, it’s probably the most ridiculous, unbelievable spectacle I’ve ever seen on stage. It’s a blast to watch.” Read the full article »

[...] Co-headliners Fall Out Boy played a no-nonsense 45 minutes of speedy arena-pop that verged from ’80s glam metal to, well, ’80s pop, courtesy of their unironic cover of Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believing.” And for an audience that was barely born when Blink first rolled out, the amount of buy-in on the cheesy FM radio staple’s soaring chorus was truly impressive — helped, no doubt, by a vocal assist from Panic! At The Disco singer Brendon Urie.

[...] With new guitarist Ian Crawford (the Cab) and bassist Dallon Weekes (the Brobecks) in tow, Panic! At the Disco 2.0 played a 40-minute blitz of their signature paisley pop. But in place of the foppish, ruffled shirts, psychedelic circus performers and modern dandy look they began shedding more than a year ago, the streamlined quartet came out in slim, shiny dark suits and played a lean set with a more rock-edged sound.

From “Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off,” to “Camisado” and “That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed),” the band drove a little harder and faster than they used to, with singer Urie engaging in a bit of sexually charged banter with his young admirers. The band also showed off their new single, the sing-songy pop tune “New Perspective,” which gave mop-topped guitarist Crawford a chance to show off a few vintage 1984 guitar tricks.
