AMAZING Hyde show on the Sunset Strip! 7/3

[SunshineSlayer]

Just got back from the 2nd Hyde show in America and while the one in Anaheim was great (even though I couldn't see much), this show was EXCELLENT. One of the best concerts I have seen from anyone, possibly even THE best concert I have seen. (including Ayumi)

Hyde looked incredible. He really looks better in person than in pictures (if that is even possible.) And while I generally don't like the insane Hyde fan girls, even I had to fan girl out a bit when Hyde came out to do the encore shirtless! Shirtless Hyde, yay!

And even though Hyde is only 5'1", when he is on stage he seems so much bigger, that's how much stage presence he has.

Luckily it looks like this show will be released on DVD. There were more cameras around than at the Anaheim show and they made several announcements in both English and Japanese that no photos would be allowed at all. There was also a sign posted on the door stating that upon entering you were agreeing to allow yourself to be filmed. (I don't remember seeing that sign at the Anaheim show and they also did not make a lot of announcements about people taking pictures.) So I reeeeaaally hope that this show is going to find release on DVD so everyone else can see how great it was.

I'm too tired right now to go into a whole lot of detail, but I'll try to write more tomrrow. Also, I had a Japanese celebrity sighting after the show and it wasn't Hyde or a member of his band...
