The acoustic Fall Out Boy set at Schubas last night (following their headlining set for the Honda Civic Tour at Charter One Pavilion) was supposed to be a mellow affair. And it started out as such. The band took the stage a little late, but everyone seemed pretty grooved out on the unplugged rendition of “This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race.” Personally, I thought without their overdrive pedals that they sounded even more like Maroon 5, but they weren’t just playing for me.
Either someone pushed the heckling a bit too far or someone took something a little too personally—I’m not exactly sure what happened. I didn’t actually see Wentz in the mix, but I was told he was full-on part of the brawl. I did see a girl who’d gotten tangled up in it, and she didn’t look so good. The girls from Spin.com who were there to cover the event seemed confused and bummed out, unsure of how to handle the situation. Personally, I thought it was okay. I had only wanted to see a couple of songs anyway.
