The Used with Versus Me at The Egyptian Room – Indianapolis, IN (Night Three)

The third and final night of The Used’s 25 Years of The Used celebration in Indianapolis closed things out with the band performing Lies for the Liars front to back, and it was the perfect finale to an incredible weekend of nostalgia and energy. Each night of this run had its own personality — night one was pure chaos, night two was emotional catharsis, and night three felt like the grand release. The band looked confident, the fans were all in, and the atmosphere was electric from start to finish.

Opening the night was Versus Me, who wasted no time in getting the crowd fired up. Their set was loud, polished, and full of conviction. Blending modern rock hooks with heavier moments, they managed to find that sweet spot that appeals to both casual concertgoers and longtime scene fans. Their energy on stage was contagious, and it didn’t take long for the room to start moving with them. You could tell they were having a blast up there, and it showed in how much the crowd fed off their performance. It was the kind of opening set that leaves an impression and sets the bar high for what follows. 📸 Check out the full gallery.

Then it was time for The Used to take the stage for the final night of their three-show run, and the roar from the crowd as they appeared was deafening. As soon as the first notes of The Ripper hit, the room erupted. Lies for the Liars might not carry the same emotional weight as the band’s first two albums for everyone, but hearing it live in full proved why it deserves its place in their legacy. It’s theatrical, chaotic, and self-aware in a way that few albums from that era dared to be.

Bert McCracken was in his element, leaning into the showmanship and wild energy that defined this period of the band’s history. He laughed, shouted, and connected with the crowd in that uniquely genuine way he always has. Tracks like The Bird and the Worm and Liar Liar (Burn in Hell) hit with full force, while deeper cuts like Find a Way and Pain reminded fans just how much heart sits beneath the album’s swagger.

The lighting, color palette, and transitions all amplified the theatrical feel of the album. The Used managed to bring the dark humor and twisted energy of Lies for the Liars to life without missing a beat. It felt bigger, louder, and more unpredictable — the perfect note to end on. 📸 Check out the full gallery.

As the final chords of Smother Me rang out, Bert thanked the fans for 25 years of love and support, reminding everyone how special it is to still be here, still sharing these songs together. The crowd’s response said it all — a mix of cheers, tears, and voices raised in unison one last time.

This three-night run wasn’t just a series of concerts, it was a full-circle experience. A reflection of everything The Used has built and everyone who has grown up with them. Night three captured the spirit of evolution and resilience, proving that even after 25 years, The Used are still pushing boundaries and connecting hearts.
