Part two of Fall Out Boy's MANIA tour kicked off in Long Island last week (read our recap!) and we're finding the 24-song setlist mostly "Irresistible." Alas, I recently took a spin through the majority of FOB's discography and realized there's a few tracks I'm feeling nostalgic for. I also discovered one of my fave Folie tracks they have NEVER played live. Mind. Blown. I guess I've listened to it so many times I've created a fictitious live performance in MY HEAD. Anyway, onward!
Track: "XO"
Album: From Under the Cork Tree
Number of times performed live: 123
Last played: A 2009 gig in Singapore, where they peculiarly played two Panic! covers and there’s a an interesting setlist note.

Album: American Beauty / American Psycho
Number of times performed live: 79
