Night two of The Used’s 25 Years of The Used tour in Indianapolis brought another sold-out crowd to The Egyptian Room, this time for an emotional full-album performance of In Love and Death. If night one was a celebration of chaos and catharsis, this show was a deep exhale — a night of reflection, release, and raw emotion.

Opening the evening was Of Virtue, who came out swinging with a heavy, melodic set that demanded attention from the first note. Their sound was massive, blending modern metalcore energy with sharp hooks that had the crowd nodding along almost immediately. You could feel how much they respected the stage they were standing on, balancing aggression with gratitude in a way that felt genuine. They gave everything they had to that room, and it showed. The energy they built carried perfectly into what was to come. 📸 Check out the full gallery.

When The Used took the stage, the room erupted again — that familiar mix of anticipation, nostalgia, and excitement flooding the air. From the opening of Take It Away to the closing notes of On My Own, the band performed In Love and Death with the kind of passion that only comes from a record that means everything to both artist and audience. The album has always been one of The Used’s most emotional, shaped by grief, love, and everything in between. Hearing it live, in full, was something special.

Bert McCracken was in full command of the crowd, but there were moments where even he seemed to take a step back and just let the audience carry the weight. Songs like All That I’ve Got and Hard to Say hit especially hard, with the entire room singing every word back. There was this shared heaviness, but it wasn’t sad — it was healing. Fans weren’t just remembering the music, they were remembering who they were when it found them.

What stood out most was how In Love and Death has aged — not just as a record, but as an experience. The Used sounded incredible, tight but still unpredictable in the way that makes their live shows feel alive. The production was dialed in perfectly to match the tone of the album, with soft lighting transitions and moments of quiet reflection between bursts of energy. Every scream, every whispered lyric felt intentional, a reminder of why this album still resonates 20 years later. 📸 Check out the full gallery.

As the night wrapped, the connection between the band and the crowd was undeniable. This wasn’t just a trip down memory lane, it was a reminder of how music grows with us — how albums like In Love and Death stay relevant because they were never just records to begin with. They were lifelines.

Night two proved once again that The Used aren’t just surviving 25 years later — they’re thriving, still connecting, still giving fans a reason to scream, cry, and celebrate together.
