Live Report: GACKT concert in Paris 18-07-2010
So finally I managed to write a decent report :)
It was first time for me seeing GACKT live and it was beautiful being able to see him with Joost! :) We arrived to the venue quite late (19:30 cca?) and we didn´t plan to wait there anyway, because when many fans already waited outside Alhambra, we weren´t in France yet, going back from the holiday. But still even after us were still people coming and waiting in queue behind us. It still took about 1/2 hour to get inside. The security was a bit confused lol, because when I offered to one security guy my handbag, he was looking at me like WTF you want from me? and then he finally said "aah yeah" and checked it. It was amusing xD
But still we ended up pretty close to the stage! I think in like 4 or 5th row at You´s side of the stage, actually at Chacha´s side was much more people. The view was great, even for me and I am not really tall(160cm) and I wore balerinas! actually it was sort of couple-corner because there were with us other two couples :D
Right before concert I spotted my friends dreamingallday and vrana17 , they were about two rows more in front. Then the GACKT´s secretary had his speech XD it was very bad language lol. He spoke twice, at first about rules and then about some secure things and talking how many people were waiting soo long before the concert. Here is the setlist:
SETLIST:

Lu:na

During ZAN - Gackt was holding a sword, when I´ve seen him, it was really surreal. And seeing whole band, and especially seeing You so close, about 5 m away from me, I must say he is really handsome man! Gackt didn´t look that big and muscular like on some pics I´ve seen before, I think he lost some weight recently. Chirolyn had a scary make up, but I loved him being all crazy on stage and Chacha´s hair - fabulous as always - sort of curly ponytail with some gilterry stripes in it. And Junji - well I could see Junji just in the end of the concert, but he is such a cutie too! Really lovely guys.
There was sort of power failure during Dybbuk, but then started the yelling madness and it was great anyway, it was very hot in the crowd, I was glad to have with myself a small freshener, basically a little bottle with water which could sprinkle on myself and around a bit to cool down a bit. But the security guy was giving bottles with water to crownd too, that was very good. And GACKT was spraying us properly too :)
Nine Spiral, Speed Master again very sexy and nice and then of course famous Lu:na ~LOSING THE SHIRT~ xD
Kimi ga Matteiru Kara meant slow down the tempo a bit, it was truly beautiful!
Mind Forest was in English but I really didn´t understand..as many people lol. But i really appreciate the idea singing one song completely in English, it was lovely from him!
Lol Ever - Gackt was yelling something like "Shake it!" and he started to doing some shaky movements with his upper part of the body :D I enjoyed the following songs too, even while Justified isn´t one of my favourite songs, it rocks live! Jesus was great as always and it was amazing how the crowd was singing too! Flower is my favourite song, I was so happy to hear it live! *_* And OMG Kagero, what a beautiful experience, really mega beautiful!!!!
Then the band left for a while the stage and they returned and Uncontrol started! It rocked :)
In the end the band threw stuff to the crowd, picks and drum sticks etc. I was holding for a while one drumstick, but I don´t mind I didn´t get it at least, that girl who got it deserved it more and I am satisfied I could touch it :) Still before and after concert there was as well guy shooting messages for GACKT, so we left some messages for him too, nice! :)
It was beautiful evening, great experience! Just after the concert I could meet for a while as well tenshin26100 who was completely wet and looked really exhausted, glad I met you at least quickly :)
We didn´t get any goods, I really didn´t like anything extra a lot and Joost had already a shirt, so I don´t regret it anyway, I was glad to be in the hotel room soon :)
