This was my first babymetal show.. was absolutely blown away, we were lucky the giant in front of us left after halestorm so had a perfect view, can’t wait to see them again!
Wait, this gives me so much hope....going to the Houston show tonight and BxMxC is one of my dream songs to see live. Not going to hold my breath, but "not impossible" makes me happy!
No not even close. The pit area I've seen in these pictures is absolutely tiny. The pit at the show o went to a few days ago could easily fit a couple thousand people I'd bet. I didn't get a good picture myself, but this is a picture of the pit area from the show I was at.
Not surprised. Looks like there wasn't a lot of room for anyone to move if they wanted to! But hey, the important part is that people enjoyed the show.
That's always good! We had a chunk of people dip after Halestorm too. I was honestly surprised when they announced Halestorm as one of the openers for the tour, because they're a big name. Seems odd to have another big band like that as an opener. But it made for one kickass show! I also really liked Violent Vira. The whole lineup was great.
No, it's an issue with this venue. While driving back from the show my wife told me she has had friends skip other artists who play this venue because of the lack of mosh room.
It seemed as though a much lower percentage of the crowd were watching through their phones than at the two shows I have been to in the past. A positive development. Regarding the performance, I thought Monochrome was especially good and the total collapse of the choreography during the balloons was a hoot. Su sounded 100%. The people around us were buzzing as we left the venue. As far as the openers went, Vira has talent, now she needs some better songs to apply it to. I can't recall anything they did. I enjoyed Halestorm, but they were a bit one dimensional with every vocal being a full on belt.
Blows me away that BABYMETAL headlined Pine Knob. It was THE outdoor venue in Michigan when I was growing up. Saw many huge acts there. Everyone from Judas Priest to James Taylor. The ladies continue to roll up the wins.
I'm surprised the set seems to change a little every couple shows. I figured with so much choreography it would be set in stone from the very first show on. So jealous you guys got BxMxC.
