Portuguese term or phrase: embalados pelo show de Folsom Prison
"agora somos só eu e Mr. Cash, rodando até os Estados Unidos da América, embalados pelo show de Folsom Prison!”

O termo "embalados" é claramente utilizado como um figura de linguagem, no entanto, qual seria um termo adequado para a tradução para o inglês americano, pois packaged não me parece adequado.

Obrigado.

agree  Verginia Ophof: on a roll with Folsom.......
21 mins
  -> Righ, Ginny. Wrong preposition. Thank you!
agree  Luiza Kipper: Great! Just put as Verginia said.
28 mins
  -> A expressão "on the roll" é semelhante a "no embalo", Luiza. Veja o link acima. O problema é a preposição "of", que deveria ser "with", como lembrou a Verginia. Obrigado!

fueled by the Folsom Prison concert


Explanation:
IMO, embalados pelos show de Folsom Prison estão os artistas, não o público. Deram um bom show e estão embalados para o resto da turnê, conforme entendi. Foram, por assim dizer, alimentados com a energia que receberam do público e prontos para encarar o resto da turnê.

Essa é a razão da sugestão.
