LOL, I meant Shwan, with the Bugmenot thing. My fault Tidus.

I may be the only one on here who bought it...

(Spoilers marked in white)

Limp Tomorrow: Sounded great, instead of Kelly's Duck the intro was Limp Tomorrow's repeating notes, it went on for a few plays and then each member joined into it one at a time. The dual mic only came in use for this song and NKWB, if I recall. Good start.

Give Me Up!: Sounded ok

The Air Resister: yup, that's the Air Resister...

Nobody knows what blooms: Sounded very nice, the sfx from the record version were entirely absent.

Purple Apple: One of their songs that is waaaaaay better live, the crowd gets into it with hand claps, as seen before. [color=#FFFFFF]The solo section this time was another neat surprise, the two guitarists would play different parts of the solo, passing it back and forth, then playing it together.[/color]

Moon is Mine: A girl in red in the front row was really going nuts when the camera cut to her! Nice song.

Sad Fad Love: Sounded ok, I'm likely to skip it though.

Comic Sonic: It's Comic Sonic.

Biography: Sounded better live, some of the droniness of the record version was absent, can't say the same for Lily, My Sun though.

Orange Film Garden: Played well, cool song.

Lily, My Sun: I wasn't digging it, sounded way too much like the record. It looks like a lot of effort to sing this thing too, far too wordy and nuanced. He really worked up a sweat up there.

Carnival: It's Carnival, but it's not the best performance I've seen of it. Sounded like Manabe was hitting a few of the notes in a strange way, was a little messy.

The third eye: Played very well.

Brilliant Crown: Sounds very nice live[color=#FFFFFF], but yikes, Sawao got murdered on the finish. YEAAA.... *pause* ...EAHHHHH! It seems too difficult to sing, rivers of sweat down the sides of his face. I don't think they will play it much beyond this tour. And I think his guitar malfunctioned after the climax because he was strumming it tentatively and making frustrated faces. There was some droning noise afterwards that the mohawk roadie had to come on stage to fix.[/color]

Emerald City: [color=#FFFFFF]After tuning and testing his guitar, they just went right into Emerald City. They played it well but Sawao sang it somewhat tentatively, I don't think he rebounded well enough from the previous song's finish to give the proper vocals to this one, it's unfortunate. I think he could have used a longer drink and some more time to breathe.[/color]

Movement: Sounded great.

Sono mirai wa ima: Always great live, I think manabe mucked up one part but it's forgiveable lol.

Little Busters: Awesome as always.

Doggie Howl: Pretty good live, I'm not hatin' on it. it's similar to Purple Apple in that I'm not fond of the record version of it.

enc:
Tabasco Disco: Lots of smiling faces in the crowd, maybe we aren't crazy for it but the chorus is fun to sing along to. [color=#FFFFFF]Shinichiro was wearing a small feather mask over his eyes, I'm guessing it may have been a punchline to something he alluded to in the band member introduction MC.[/color]

Heart is There: Part two of "get the crowd to dance while singing broken english". I think they played it better on the LGTY dvd.

enc:

No Surrender: Totally Awesome! [color=#FFFFFF] Half way through, before the solo even, Sawao stops playing his guitar and just sings, then takes it off during the solo. He takes the mic out of the stand and steps up to sing the finish, the crowd was really on fire for it. There was a part where the camera caught a woman crying. Once the song was over, Sawao jumped into the crowd for some love. Once he was pulled back on stage, he did a comical "getting too old for this shit" kind of routine, and he thanked the crowd multiple times for not dropping him (I'm guessing).[/color]

misc thoughts: Cameras caught a lot of pretty girls! :3
I saw a lot of people really misty eyed, despite the setlist not being very ballad heavy or heavy on trademark powerhouse songs. There was a noticeable amount of emotion coming from the crowd. Busters are hella proud.

I got it when it came out D:

/I'm uploading it now for everyone who wants it.

Haha, one of the spoilers reminds me of something on the 916 15th dvd... Pretty sure it was at the end of Strange Chameleon...

Has Sawao...ever done this before? I really want to see this now. I'm hoping the TRIAL tour will have similar energy, specifically with Revival. That's the kind of song I can see him going crazy while performing.

[quote="chgu"]Has Sawao...ever done this before? I really want to see this now.[/quote]

He's done it in the States, as a matter of fact. At the... 2006(?) Slim's show. Stopped playing during Hybrid Rainbow, took his guitar off for the last verse.

Thank you, kind sir.

Here we go.

Despite Sawao having gear issues for the two tracks, I really liked the performances of Brilliant crown and No Surrender (Which is where my av is from)

Awesome, thanks!

Since it's almost time for me to get to sleep, will have to wait until after work tomorrow to download most of it :/ Really looking forward to checking out Emerald City and a few of the other songs live.

None of these are opening for me. I'm on a Mac. Is there some other program I'm supposed to be using to unzip these?

Have you downloaded everything? They're not individual files - they're a single video split into multiple zip parts.

Also, it's possible you may need to a particular zip utility (such as winzip or something else that supports this type of file on a mac) in order to unzip it.

[quote="Son Goshin"]None of these are opening for me. I'm on a Mac. Is there some other program I'm supposed to be using to unzip these?[/quote]

Can you open .zip files? If you can't download a simple app like The Unarchiver or UnRarX (I think this decompresses .zip files). I don't know what format the video is in, haven't downloaded, but try using VLC to play it if it's wonky.

It didn't work for me on winzip or winrar, so I used 7zip and it worked fine... Nvm though, they don't have it for mac...

So far good performance! On Purple Apple not. Not a favorite of mine, but Sawao is obviously trying so hard in this performance. I was surprised at the quality of Limp Tomorrow and Nobody Knows What Blooms.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO BRILLIANT CROWN NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


It was so SO SOSOSOSO EPIC. I was so into it. Headbanging at my computer, I was! AND THEN SAWAO'S GUITAR JUST... CUT OUT DURING THE ENDING CLIMAX. IT WAS SO AWKWARD.

Haha, everyone kept going, but Sawao's guitar totally went mute. I don't know what happened. But it kinda wrecked the EPIC momentum that was going on. There were people headbanging super hard in the audience and everything. Manabe had that tremelo picking going on... man. But I guess the show must go on.
