The other music channel, VH1, filmed parts of their Top 20 Music Video Countdown at the Tsongas Arena in Lowell last Friday.

The channel’s staff was on hand as the angst filled 20-something chart toppers, Fall Out Boy, made a stop on their The Young Wild Things Tour at the downtown venue. Staff and the host, Alison Becker, arrived in Lowell on Thursday. On Friday, she shadowed the band for the day attending the meet and greets and chilled in their dressing rooms before the band took the
stage.

It was a sold out crowd of 7200. Anyone out there get interviewed by Becker?
According to the arena’s general manager, Craig Gates, the VJ mingled with fans in the crowd filming plenty B-Roll.

“We made sure they had full access to back stage and everything,” said Gates.

The episode will also rerun on Sunday, Nov. 18 at 9 a.m. and Tuesday, Nov. 20 at 8 a.m. Based out of Manhattan, N.Y., VH1 travels to locations around the country in order to interview the “it” band or artist.

“Lowell was the most convenient stop for us on the Fall Out Boy tour,” explained Paul Sansone, a production associate for the program.

This is the second time that the Tsongas Arena has been a TV star. MTV was there filming for their reality show "Newlyweds". That was when Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson were newly weds and still married. The pair were performing at the annual Kiss 108 Jingle Ball.
