Versailles concert report^^
Versailles concert report!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, asidse from all the drama of waiting 12 hours, and all the trouble that came afterwards,
IT WAS SOOOOO AWESOME!
I had a great time!
my friend roxanne and I got there around 10am, and it was bloody hot already.. also, there were about 20 people already there or so, so we socialized alot with them and had a good time despite the fact that we were all really anxious^^.
around noon Milou and her friend arrived and relieved us of waiting duty so that roxie and I got get some food^^.
we ended up eating toast with melted cheese (yum^^) served by a superadorable waitress.
there was alot of debate on the opening time! all or tickets said if would start at 20.00 hours, but no one knew if that was the time the doors would open, or that the concert would start. so everyone was lining up really heavily by 19:00 hours...
and since the owner of the club told us it would be soon, we were all excited..
ANYWAY THOSE BASTARDS didn't open the doors till 20:15 hours, which caused everyone to be really irritated by the heat...
the concert started really late as well, around 21:30 hours.. which ofcourse meant I couldn't get home afterwards, but I'll get to that later..
but when they did come on stage...
...
W.O.W..
I had completely forgotten just how beautiful they all are!
they opened with aristocrat's symphony, and after that played 'ai to kanashimi no rondo'..and 'shout and bites'
the hall was completely packed! because the concert was sold out, but I was standing in the middle/right between hizaki and kamijo in the second row, so I could see everything marvelously.
however, after 3 songs they left the stage, making us all go ' o__0?'
actually, that night the Netherlands had a soccer match against Uruguay for the final qualification in the worldcup, so after they went offstage, some people were yelling happilly, because Holland was winning..
after 3 minutes or so, Versailles came back onstage, and Kamijo was totally glowing, telling us ''OMEDETOUUUU ORANDA! woohoo!''
Me, being totally dazed by their awesomeness, actually needed a few seconds to realise what he was congratulating us for xd
so, It turned out they went to check the result of the match xd
Kamijo hung the dutch soccerflag on Yuki's drumset and they were all in a great mood, and naturally, so were we..
I think they really, really enjoyed this performance, because kamijo's kept saying 'thank you', and was smiling waaaay brighter then in Japan or frankfurt, where I had seen them live...
There were also alot of men present, which made them happy as well^^. Kamijo kept shaking hands with them^^.
after 'amorpheus' and 'serenade' Hizaki was fanning himself with a really cute pink fan, and kamijo told him to fan him as well xd
after 'zombie' hizaki leaned in, and some people jumped over me, pushing me down, so I had to elbow/hit them or else I would have hit the floor, but It was no use, because they were pushing me against the fence so hard that I have a big bruise! however, Yuki looked directly at me, saw what happend, and signalled hizaki something which caused him to step back a little, so the fans did as well.. and I could breath^^. after that he smiled and nodded at me! (I was swooning so badly hahaha)
They also played 'princess' which made me really happy!
during another song, I don't really remember which one, Kamijo semi-stagedived, but before he could go far, he was pulled back by the staff xd
the encore ofcourse was 'The red carpet day' and 'revenant choir'
and we all jumped together at the end ^^.
also, the support basist, masa-something, who plays for Közi, was really great! he kept in the back during most of the concert, but kamijo went up to him and pushed him forward to the crowd, and he was all ''are? me? 0__o huh?'' but he received a great applause, which made him smile really wide.
overall, this must've been the best Live I went to in years, if you exclude ofcourse the terrrible organisation of it all, and look purely at the concert itself^^.
I bought a t-shirt and am really happy! in total, the concert lasted about 2 hours..
seriousely, when will the dutch ever learn to put enough security around, or to have a doctor present, or enough water.. sheesh.. idiots.
Also, the crowed was sooo wild, but I am kind of used to that, because I often go to REALLY wild metalconcerts.. so all the people who tried to kill me (basically) I pushed back just as hard.. for my own sake.. IRK! one girl tried to break my hand! so she could step in before me!fucking psychopath! luckily, I elbowed her, so she fell back.. I am way to much of a german jrock fan to be scared off by such idiots...
GO VERSAILLES!!!!

after the concert, there were alot of problems, firstly, it was incredibly violent and busy on the streets, because of the soccer game..
I was trying to book myself a room while roxanne waited for the others, but suddenly she came in and told me I could spend the night at Manon's house.. so lucky me for that..
however, we couldn't find milou anywhere..
also, a really big misscommunication happend so we had assumed she was sleeping at a friends house..
we tried to call that friend, renate, several times to make sure it was true, but she didn't answer, and our last train was leaving soon...
anyway, at the station I realised I had the key in my bag for her locker which basically everything! so we tried to call her, and Leyla, to see if they were near her so we could meet up.. but no one answered..
I decided to give the keys to roxanne, because she lived near amsterdam, and it would be the most practical would anything suddely change in the siituation..
So, I spend the night at Manon's, who is superkind by the way.. and the next day, tried to find a solution.. ofcourse, my phone chose that exact moment to die, and I didn't know Milou's home number, since her cell was in the locker..
so Manon and I called EVERY person in Milou's hometown who had her last name, mailed like 10 different people to see if they knew, so we could try to fix things..
however, the person HAVING the key, roxanne, wasn't answering her phone, so after calling her 27 times, we decided to look up the number of her neighbours, to ask them if they could knock on her door.. xd
luckily, that helped, and roxanne mailed me earlier today that somehow, everything ended well..
URGH thank god!
so now, after loads of hours in the train, I am finally home, exhausted, and am going to sleep..
hopefully, to dream of a world of roses!^^
