Fall Out Boy gave ‘You’re Crashing, But You’re No Wave’ its live debut at a show in New York last night (August 4) – check it out below.
The song is taken from their landmark 2007 album ‘Infinity On High’ and was chosen as the night’s ‘Magic 8 Ball’ song, the part of the evening where the Chicagoans dig into their deep cuts and play one of their B-sides and rarities.
According to fans there, frontman Patrick Stump needed the use of a teleprompter to remember the words in the song’s notoriously fast pre-chorus.
Check out fan-filmed footage of the performance below.

Previous ‘Magic 8 Ball’ choices (via Setlist.fm) have included the first performance of ‘XO’ (taken from 2005’s ‘From Under The Cork Tree’) since 2007, the live debut of ‘From Now On We Are Enemies’, and the first live airing of ‘Miss Missing You’ since 2015.
Meanwhile, Fall Out Boy also played an acoustic version of ‘Get Busy Living, Get Busy Dying’ elsewhere in the show, marking its first live performance since 2006.
