Well, some of it is more or less (probably less) .....

Hello ♪ from Baltimore.
Something about being satisfied and because three days have passed since it actually stayed in this town.
They will see the see next and the scenery is good. Also the crabs!
Food is good and they have gotten a wonderful letter(s).
It is a pattern while continuously rehearsing.
Because it is live, it is more deliberate unlike evey time in a different hall before the sound check rehearsal.
Something about the fans queueing up and about receiving letters and they were pleased.
It was hot in the stage surroundings and perhaps the air conditioning wasn't working quite right.
Due to the heat Hyde changed from his long sleeves in haste. He performed part of the live with the upper half of his body naked.
They are now going to the west coast.

This is VERY rough....I'm sure others will do better.

Here are the pictures~
I wish I had gotten more pictures of the banner like after everyone signed it... but I was WAY too busy to even think about taking pictures.

The pics are awesome! I loved the banner!!! Especially the one with all all the Many Hydes drawings!!! extremely cute.

Your post just reminded me - I've noticed a lot of people saying that they've come away from the concerts with their ears ringing for days or even weeks. I just want to urge everyone going to shows like these to please, please wear earplugs. It really doesn't take much to damage your ears permanently.

My husband and I wore earplugs similar to these (except ours were a cheaper version found at Lowe's), and our ears were fine. In fact, I still had to cover my ears a few times during the Sonar show, it was so loud. But the plugs not only lowered the volume, they made everything much clearer and easier to hear.

Just a friendly service announcement I'd just hate to see someone get chronic tinnitus or other ear damage when it can be easily prevented.

Not really a set list, but some songs they played. ...not even in order really but. o_O Regardless, it's still pretty cool.

^___^ thanks for this. I never really thought of wearing earplugs. I usually just say: "if I go deaf listening to Hyde then at least the last thing I heard was the best thing I'll ever hear~" ;D
Well, maybe next time, I'll get ear plugs. I guess I've been to so many concerts that I don't notice how loud it is anymore. I really don't want to be deaf when I'm older though so...

I guess I felt the same way going into the concert...no need for earplugs~"the best thing i'll ever hear"~"Hydes sweet voice", but after the "going deaf" scare(1st time it happened to me), and saying "WHAT?" for 3 days at Otakon, I'm thinking differently. (I was really annoying my family *lol*) We definately plan on going to more Jrock concerts, and if really lucky someday... another Vamps or even a Laruku concert... who knows. So I'm gonna do what's necessary to take care of our ears.

Thanks Noctilca for the link! I'm definately gonna get some plugs before any other shows. I was the only one in my group of 4 that had my ears ringing for 3 days, but I've also been exposed to loud music alot more than the rest of my crew. We like going to concerts as a family thing, and my kids have allready been exposed to more decibles than I was at their age. Ya, so those plugs would be a good investment. T.Y.

Besides youtubing it, I'd recommend uploading it somewhere in it's entirety, such as mediafire.com or something like that. Maybe in rars.

Where you videotaping it? How's that possible?
