Last nights of tours are different. The crew is loose, the band has nothing to save its voice for, and whatever's left goes on the stage. On Friday, Nov. 20, that night belongs to Pittsburgh: Motionless In White close the fall leg of The Sweat and Blood Tour at PPG Paints Arena.

The bill is stacked: Dayseeker, The Devil Wears Prada and Dark Divine open, and the show starts at 6:30 p.m., so plan to be downtown early if you want the full night. Tickets are through Ticketmaster via the show's ticket link. It's an arena that holds 17,758, a big room for a band that came up in Scranton's scene, about four and a half hours up the road.

The fall run, announced in June, is a three-week arena leg that opened Oct. 30 in Worcester, Mass., and ends in Pittsburgh on Nov. 20. It passed through Philadelphia's Xfinity Mobile Arena on Halloween and Milwaukee's Fiserv Forum, and this week's stops include Nashville, Peoria and Minneapolis–St. Paul, where they play tonight. Along the way, the band also headlined Red Rocks for the first time.

The tour is behind *Decades*, the band's seventh album, out July 17 on Roadrunner, and the reviews have been some of the best of the band's career. Blabbermouth gave it 9/10. Kerrang! gave it four out of five and called it career-defining. Metal Hammer went furthest, calling it the most impressive Motionless In White album so far. Not everyone was sold; Wall of Sound heard too much repetition. But the record that's mostly been praised for its synth and industrial textures, and for "Playing God", the track with Corey Taylor, is the one they're bringing to Pittsburgh.

The most impressive Motionless In White album so far, by one critic's count, and the last night of the tour.

The title is apt. Reviewers have framed *Decades* around the band's 20-year history, a run that took a Scranton metalcore band to arenas. For a lot of fans in western Pennsylvania, that history is personal: this is a band from their side of the state that kept getting bigger.

The openers are worth the early start. Dayseeker is the direct support, and The Devil Wears Prada is a headliner in its own right on most nights. With four bands on the bill and doors before a 6:30 start, this is a full evening, not a quick in-and-out.

A few practical notes: Friday-night traffic around the arena plus a full Penguins-season calendar means you should check parking ahead of time, and the venue's bag policy applies. Wear something you don't mind sweating through; the tour name isn't subtle.

Last night of the tour, home state, best-reviewed record in years. If you were ever going to see this band in an arena, this is the one.
