Dir en Grey Repo
Mar. 22nd, 2006 02:17 amSurprisingly, the show wasn't that great. It wasn't bad, they sounded pretty good! But it really could have been better.
So that pretty much sums it up.
Man, there were some really obnoxious people in the crowd. And yet I was much more physically tired after the D'espairsray concert than I was for this one. I overheard one girl saying that it was a great show, but maybe that's because she's a big DeG fan? I'm sure if I were more of a DeG fan, I would have enjoyed the show more than I did. Angelica said she overheard another girl who'd apparently seen them before, saying that it wasn't one of their better shows. *shrugs* Who knows.
One interesting thing, though -- one of the official photographers taking "action" photos of the band was someone I know! How's that for coincidental? I doubt he'd recognize me, but he's the photographer who took Nicky's SG set when she visited last March.
Frkboy81: how was the crowd? how'd it translate space-wise on the inside?
Koyasu no Miko: well, it was pretty filled up. unfortunately, we weren't in the front of the line, so liz and i were kind of in the middle of the crowd.
Koyasu no Miko: during the opening band's show, they had some trouble with the barricades between the crowd and the stage, so during the time between bands, they asked the crowd to "take 10 steps back" so they could fix and secure the barricades.
Frkboy81: woo they had barricades
Koyasu no Miko: but that sucked 'cause i'd just gotten to a good spot toward the front, and then after that i was back to where i'd started from.
Frkboy81: i forget, bigger act
Koyasu no Miko: also, dir en grey had rules: no crowdsurfing, no cameras, etc.
Koyasu no Miko: so the venue mgmt said that they'd basically stop the show if we broke the barricades again during the dir en grey show.
Koyasu no Miko: so it wasn't as "shovey" as the d'espairs ray concert, but the crowd was really bitchy, so it was really more annoying.
Koyasu no Miko: also, i couldn't see a damn thing because i was surrounded by tall people, and kyo is too short, and the rest of the band barely moved from their mic stands.
Koyasu no Miko: so yeah.
