<P> As expected and predicted by several music publications, the band adopted a very different style for the touring in support of Pretty . Odd., in contrast to the dark, circus - themed elements of the band's previous stage shows . Each show contained "woodsy set pieces, projections of flora and fauna, and mic stands wrapped in lights and flowers," and each band member dressed in a vest . While reflecting on the theatrical nature of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out touring, Urie commented: "We did it and it was a lot of fun when we did it, but this time around I think we wanted to get back to a more intimate, personal setting, and scale it down a little bit ." Ryan Ross explained that: "It's more about connecting with the audience and seeing what's gonna happen every night . It's not as scripted out and pre-planned . It makes it more exciting for us, and less monotonous every night ." A live album,...Live in Chicago, based on live recordings from Chicago during the Honda Civic Tour, was released December 2, 2008 . An accompanying DVD contains photos from the tour, each music video from the album as well as behind - the - scenes footage of the videos and the tour, the short film Panic! at the Disco In: American Valley, and the documentary feature based on the tour, All In A Day's . </P> <P> Pretty . Odd.'s touring was also defined by a larger effort to remain environmentally conscious . On the tour, the band worked with two non-profit eco organizations: Reverb, which facilitates environmentally friendly touring; and Global Inheritance, which seeks to inspire more eco-activism . In a 2008 interview, Ross revealed that the band traveling on a biodiesel bus, to re-using plastics, and recycling more backstage . The band went as far as to print tour booklets on recycled paper, with soy ink, and organize an "eco-contest," in which profits from the tour went straight to environmental organizations . </P> <P> In spring 2009, the band began recording material for its third studio album . However, on July 6, 2009, Ryan Ross and Jon Walker announced via the band's official website that the two were leaving the band . In an interview following the split, Ross explained that he first brought the idea to Smith in late June 2009 over lunch: "Spencer and I had lunch and caught up for a while, and then the big question came up, like,' Well, what do you want to do?' and I said,' Well, I think it might be best if we kind of do our own thing for a while,' and he said,' I'm glad you said that, because I was going to say the same thing,"' Ross recalled . "And there was really no argument, which is really the best way that could've worked out ." Ross said the split was largely due to creative differences between him and Urie . Urie wanted the band to explore a more polished pop sound, while Ross--and, by extension, Walker--was interested in making retro - inspired rock . </P> <P> The news asserted that both tour plans with blink - 182 in August 2009 and new album production "will continue as previously announced ." The following day, Alternative Press broke the news that "New Perspective," the first song recorded without Ross and Walker, would debut the following month on radio and as a part of the soundtrack to the film Jennifer's Body . On July 10, 2009, Alternative Press also reported that the band had regained the exclamation point, becoming, once again, Panic! at the Disco . "New Perspective" was released on July 28, 2009 . Former guitarist of pop rock band The Cab, Ian Crawford and Dallon Weekes, frontman of indie rock band The Brobecks, filled in for Ross and Walker on tour during the blink - 182 Summer Tour in August 2009 . </P>
