Like the others have said, it was a small venue. It was also very hot inside. Poor Ju-ken was soaked by the end of the second song. I could barely see K.A.Z but Hyde was sweating, too. They all mopped their faces and Ju-ken threw out his towel to the audience.
The crowd was good, only some pushing and not too bad for most of the show.
Due to the size of the venue, Ju-ken and Hyde got touched whether they wanted to be or not. Like I said, I didn't see K.A.Z so I don't know what was going on over there. At one point, Hyde turned his back on the crowd and let the big girl in the front row support him and he basically laid down on her. That drove everyone nuts!!
He mentioned that he liked the weather in San Diego....not too cold, not too hot. He also asked the crowd what there was to do as they had only gotten in the night before (still gambling I suppose). People shouted out suggestions such as Sea World, the zoo, and beaches. He had trouble understanding the word "beach" and needed some translation help. Then he talked about the zoo and mentioned the pandas and how cute they were. He said that San Diego had baby pandas.....six of them. Then he laughed and said he had looked it up on the Internet.
The set list was pretty much the same so I guess I won't get to hear "Hello" in L.A. :(
Hyde did quite a bit of crying before he started singing Sweet Dreams. I do agree with others that this was written for his son. Perhaps he heard a lot of "daddy will be gone so long so please don't go" before he left. It has to be hard to be so far away from his family. My heart goes out to him.
The band was great, the crowd was good, and I am sorry to have to come back to reality soon and see it all end.
They were selling the VAMPS cups for $1.00 along with the regular merchandise.
