HYDE Concert
Hehehe some people put up their summary of what happened at the concert in different groups, but my memory is terrible (take after my mother -_-) so I'll just put my short input here ^_^
What an AMAZING concert in SF! OMG my voice was still sore three days afterwards, I screamed so much. LOL my sister and I were trying to decide how to best describe the concert, the best we could come up with was; it was an ORGASMIC concert! Hehehe ^^ seriously you could totally get off at this concert, Hyde was so fucking SEXY! AAAHHH!!!! I'm ready to scream just thinking about it! My dad, sister, and I went driving by Slim's after breakfast and there was a small line outside of the club already! I was like "Dad, drop me off so I can wait in line, so Veronica and I can get a good spot inside." But stupid dad was like, "No their just waiting for tickets, we'll go later. You don't want to be waiting all that time." I was like, "Yes! Yes I do!" But he wouldn't let me -_-, I'm freakin' 20 years old, you can't tell me what to do anymore!
Anyways, as the day wore on, we watched the World Cup, we watched France win T_T...well actually I was asleep, I didn't want to watch France win. Anyways, around 4:00 we walked back to Slim's to get our tickets, the line was now at the end of the block! And my dad found out that the line was to GET INTO the club, NOT tickets! Teh, I was so upset. So we quickly went to grab a bite to eat and then come back to the line. So around 4:30pm my sister and I were in line and eating our lunch/dinner. Man, it was fuckin' freezing! It was SO cold...and the concrete isn't very soft -_- When the line had takin' up half the block, you know like, 2 sides of a square...well anyways at 8:00pm they finally opened the doors. But because we were in the middle of this God forsaken line, we didn't get in till about 8:45pm -_- so much for getting close to the stage.
When we got in, there were already so many people infront of us. We got as close as we could, which wasn't really all that close. At about 9:00pm the opening band came on. They played their instruments for about 10 seconds then started walking off the stage saying, "Ok thanks for listening to us. Next up is...HYDE!" We were all screaming! But then he was like, "Well unless you want us to play." Some people screamed, but I heard alot of, "NO!" I guess he didn't hear them, cuz he played anyways. They were called the Black List Club, not too bad, but I wouldn't get their CD. Lol, it was kinda funny cuz they obviously didn't get to meet Hyde, cuz they kept saying, "YEAH! HYDE is the best fucking band ever!" And we're like, "He's NOT a BAND!!!!"
Anyways, around 9:30pm they finally stopped, and Hyde's sound crew went to get everything set up. There was no room to move really, and it sucked for us short girls. There was this older woman who was infront of us, who was shoulder to shoulder, hip to hip with this other young woman. Man, you can tell there was tension in the air. The young woman kept trying to move forward, which meant a little pushing on her part. I just backed up, I could tell either an arguement or a fight was gonna be between the two. I was votin' for the older woman, she at least wanted to get my sister and I infront of the young woman, because we were short and she had to be at least 5'7...compared to us 4'9 and 4'11 girls -_- But when Hyde finally came on at 10:00pm, we were shoved at least 3 feet forward, and now there seriously was NO room!
We were all screaming, and my sister and I couldn't see a thing. There were these 2 fat girls infront of us with their arms in the air blocking everything. The first thing I saw was this guy with kinda medium length hair and a black bandana on his face, like those bad guys in cowboy movies, with Hyde's lil half heart symbol thingy on it. It looked kinda like a man from Dir en Grey, I was like, "Am I at the wrong place? Wrong concert?" But then he slid his bandana down and started singing MADE IN HEAVEN, my fave song on FAITH. Everyone was jumping up and down, including my sister and I...it was the only time I could see HYDE T_T. He sang the song so AWESOMELY!! Rockin' hard!
In the middle of the song however, it was getting really annoying not being able to see a single thing! So I yelled in my sister's ear, "Ok here's the choice. Stay close to the stage and not see him at all, or go up to the balcony and see him." There was no possible way for us to get any closer to him, so we decided that seeing him for farther away was best. We made our way to the balcony, to watch him. By then the song was over and he started talkin to us ^^.
"Hello. This is my first time in San Francisco. San Francisco, the city with a lot of ... hills. I see my name everywhere. Why do I see my name all over San Francisco, why?"
Which totally cracked me up, cuz I was just talking about how we found a HYDE ST. and that I needed to take a picture of it before we left ^_^ Then he started talking again.
"Are you weeeelcoming me?"
We were screaming our heads off, of course we were! Next he sang JESUS CHRIST, it was just amazing. He was rocking so hard, he looked much more comfortable this time than when he came with L'ARC EN CIEL, jumping up and down, head banging, running around the stage. Now all the memories kinda blur together. The order of songs he sang next was: SEASON'S CALL, DOLLY, PRAYER, I CAN FEEL, FAITH, LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS (which really surprised me), HELLO, MASQUERADE (my fave on 666), HIDEWAY, UNEXPECTED, MISSION, COUNTDOWN, and MIDNIGHT CELEBRATION (my sister's fave on 666).
The ones that really stand out to me were HELLO, he did an AMAZING job rocking to this song, and COUNTDOWN...OMG that one had to be the best! Needless to say, it's going to be really hard going back to listen to the CD version...the live version was SO much better. He should make a live album, that would be AWESOME! There was more talking on his part, all I remember though is:
"Let's make love." crowd goes WILD...including me. Hell fuckin' YES!!! I'm make love with YOU! Then he says, "Will you sing with me?" I think it was for UNEXPECTED. Anyways, he was also saying that he won't be in the states for much longer, we all were like "Aaawwwwww!"
But man, this concert....there's not enough descriptive words I know that would do this concert justice. He just took my breath away. Seeing him in person, instead of on a computer, oh man. My heart is just going pitter-patter just thinking about him. He was worth it. He was worth the 9 hours I had to spend in the car with my dad >_< and the 4 hours in the freezing cold. He was totally worth it. I had a blast! Now all I need is to see a Gackt concert, then I could die happy.
Here are some pictures I took around SF.
