At first I wasn't going to post my MCR concert videos, because I figured lots of better ones would pop up, but it turns out that I've got some really awesome ones, particularly of Gee talking, and my view was perfect for steady, clear visuals of the boys. The sound during the actual songs is a little shitty, but it's listenable and you get to see Gee prance like a faaaaairy princess! And Mikey be a total rockstar! It's pretty much awesome.
So without further ado...
My Chemical Romance :: O2 Arena, London :: November 15 2007
Gerard: "I wanna see you motherfuckers do a WAVE."

We're the biggest crowd they ever played to! :D This is my favorite video of Gee talking - he's so precious! I particularly love how he says "and other bullshit" and "all craaazy and shit!" It was hilarious because Gee asked "Do you guys do that over here?" and the crowd had done the wave about 10 times while waiting for MCR to come on. OH GEE. WHY SO AMERICAN?
ETA: IT SEEMS THAT A LOT OF THE EMBEDDED VIDS AREN'T WORKING ANYMORE. I have no idea why that is, but they're still working on Youtube itself, so here's my
Youtube channel. Sorry about that!
Gerard: "Mr. Mikey Way!"

Gerard gives shout outs to Mindless Self Indulgence and the return of his precious little baby brother :D
Mikey and Gee: "Do I look like Darth Vader in this jacket?"

I scrambled with my camera to get Mikey talking but only barely caught most of it! Still, it's darling, and Gee making fun of his little bro is even MORE darling. Then Gee gets us riled up for Honey, YAY.
Gerard: "You are my treasuuuures."

Oh Gerard. How ridiculous and yet so precious. Bonus build up to Prison!
"You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison" (beginning)

So pretty much my favorite MCR song of ALL. I don't even know why, I just LOVE it. I kind of wish we'd had Frankie, because I love his melodic soloing at the beginning of this one, and Matt does it but he doesn't quite have the Frankie touch, you know? Still awesome though. Even more awesome, however...
"You Know What They Do To Guys Like Us In Prison" (Ray Toro's SOLO OF AWESOME)
Click to view
This is my favorite video of the night. I went into the show promising myself one thing, that I would get video of the Prison solo. And it turned out AMAZING. The solo itself is fantastic, but then at the end of it Gee wanders over to Ray and gestures like "Can you BELIEVE this guy?" And then he PRANCES and is DARLING and adlibs "Can't stop sucking off every single guy I see!" and I LOVE HIM. <3333
Gerard: "We're gonna burn this motherfucker down!"; "I'm Not Okay" (beginning)

Gerard talks about the absence of Frankie and Bob, but that won't stop this fucking band! And then, oh god, I LOVE the beginning of I'm Not Okay. Seriously. Just. ♥ (If you listen, you can hear Gee say "open up those fucking mosh pits." LOVE HIM.) Then Gee runs up and down the barrier!
"Mama"

Gee jumping up and down is just so cute, and the whole crowd copying him? MINDBLOWING. So many people!!
"The Black Parade"

My longest video of the night - I just couldn't bring myself to stop filming! What a beautiful song. And Gee is just such a showman! (Sorry the sound gets pretty crappy in the louder part :()
"Headfirst For Halos"
Click to view
Again with the not-so spectacular sound, but OMG HEADFIRST FOR HALOS. And Gerard comes over to my side and hops up and down and I love it.
And that's about it! I've got several other short videos of different songs, but the sound's pretty awful and you know what the songs sound like anyway. I hope you enjoyed this! It was pretty much one of the best nights of my life, and I love having this to remember it by. :)
