Alrighty, here we go.
So the original plan was to get there like, five hours before the doors opened and get in the front. My bro crashed his car a month ago so that idea was scrapped, our fajah had to drive us to it. Was still hoping to get floor seats but their price shot up to 80$ all of a sudden so we couldn't, just had to get seat tickets. I had no clue what seat tickets my fajah got, but found out soon enough. Was the worst seats in the place, but it was an extremely small place so you still got an amazing view. Lucky for us, barely anyone was at the seats we had, so we slid over to the right to get the perfect view.
So the row in front of us was empty for the first half of the show. Each row of seats were higher than the other, so it didn't really matter. There was some random classy group of three guys, one of them had beer and a banana. was pretty loving funny. The people behind us were smoking some strong ass stuff. We knew this because they kept blowing smoke and it'd get in our way some of the times.
It's about 8PM now and everyones there, lights go out and stuffs about to begin. But to most of the peoples suprise when some mediocre piece of stuff named Busy P opened up the show. Justice's setup was covered up, he was on a small set up in front of it with a quickly set up piece of stuff sign saying
'BUSY P
FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT
TO PARTY !'
All he did was stuffty remixes for 45 minutes straight. There were also lyrics in it that went along the line of 'CAN'T MAKE ME STOP' and random lyrics saying 'BLACK ON BLACK' and talking about racism. You saw people moving, but that's because the base was overwhelming and you really couldn't stand still. 45 minutes and it's finally over, you knew people were glad it was over, he was a piece of stuff who decided to hop in at the last minute. When we purchased the tickets it said it was just Justice and no one else. I checked again before we went to see if it was sold out, and then saw his name. Turns out he own's Ed Banger records. I was afraid that he'd actually do stuff in the middle of Justice's show, but gladly he wasn't.
So they're moving his piece of stuff stand out of the way, and then they pulled off the cover that was covering Justice's cross and set up. There were already 18 Marshall cabinets there with nothing covering them, which Busy piece of stuff luckily didn't use to blast his stuffty music. Lights dim and the crowd goes loving wild, everyone was INSANE, and were ready to dance. Sadly, in these stuffty seats, everyone was sitting and i didn't want to be that akward guy who goes crazy :(. But eventually, everyone stood up and we basically had to, you could not not move your legs.
They bust out an electronic short part of the Star Spangled Banner, not the entire song, just the beginning part of it.
then it goes into a simple beat for about a minute, leading up to Genesis, and when the cross lights up, the cheering overpowered the music. Genesis starts and they accidently had the bass too low, so it was kind of akward. but they fixed it pretty fast. That was really the only mistake they had in the entire show. Genesis crosses over to Civilization, and behind their setup is a curtain of bright loving lights, surrounding behind their speakers and stage. That stuff goes off and has the coolest lighting i've seen at any show.
Skipping into the show to the part where they do D.A.N.C.E., their stage slides open and half and Gaspard walks down this lighting stairway to the front of it where a glowing loving piano and a glowing seat is, and plays the loving song out. They do this for a few times throughout the show. Heading towards Phantom, there's a sheet of lights on their loving 18 marshalls that also provide for amazing effects, and as usual, the crowd goes insane. Later on they break out stress and ALL the lights go red, and they have 6 bright search lights that spin like crazy at parts of the song, it's loving amazing.
I barely remember much of inbetween songs and what order they were in, but skipping to about 45 minutes in, the music stops and Xavier walks down onto one of the lights in front of the stage and points towards the audience, Gaspard still on the stage also pointing. This goes on for about 2 minutes, everyone cheering the whole way. Then, out of loving nowhere, the entire crowd starts singing We Are Your Friends, and then they beautifully, full blast, break into the loving song. it was unreal, there was no direction to start singing, after the first time the crowd started singing it they went into it.
After that part they basically pull an encore event, tons of banging and cheering, and they break into Phantom part 2, and it's loving beautiful, this goes on for a good solid ten minutes and then they end it. For three loving minutes of cheering and extensive clapping, they start the intro to Audio, Video, Disco, but extend that for a good minute and then break into the song. You would not believe how insane it was, EVERYONE was standing and dancing at this point. It was so god damn flawless.
There's a bunch of other effects and stuff that i'd explain but i'm a bit lazy and can't really remember, was sort of mesmerized by the show :C
tl;dr extensive use of 'loving'. buy a loving ticket to their show if they play near you, they're an all-age event, you won't regret it. But make sure to get floor tickets or you won't enjoy it as much as you should. The best concert I've ever seen, and i will definitely be going again as soon as possible.
