Decent *nods* 4

After seeing their 1998 live (with visual HYDE!), I wanted to see them in a slightly more recent setting, so I got this. The gig is long enough, picture and sound are good. HYDE looks quite hot. (always a plus, since you'll be looking at him a lot). But more importantly, HYDE sounds okay, too. His performance on his Faith Live DVD isn't much to write home about, but he sounds okay here, though he'll never be my favourite singer. It's funny when he tries to speak English to the audience, though. At least he tries, though his English isn't easy to understand without some sort of subtitles (that goes for his lyrics, too). I clearly hear keyboards during some songs, but there's no keyboardist present. Japanese bands and their samples. =P Do more with less! In short, this is a decent DVD. Not being a hardcore L'arc en Ciel fan, I probably am not as excited as some, but it's a good rock concert.

I am dolphin! 5

I was at this concert and it was absolutely amazing in every way. Fanboys were bowing to them, I think L'Arc deservedly won many many fans that day and even heightened the respect their older fans already held for them. Wonderful DVD, but it does not include Ken's adorable dolphin sequence :( Hyde's singing is spot-on, and I definitley can't say that about all their other concert DVDs! Buy this, it's so fun!

Wish I would have been there 5

After watching this DVD, all I can say is I wish that I could have been at the concert! L'Arc~en~ciel put on an amazing show for the fans overseas and weren't the least bit shy in front of their new audience. I hope that they come back to the U.S. soon! A must buy for any Laruku fan!

Great Live DVD! 5

This DVD brought back many memories as I was able to attend the Baltimore concert. It was amazing to see "Smile" brought to life as well as their older favorites. The guys put on a marvelous show, and everyone who got to be there has something to remember it by. =)

Incredible DVD 5

Just watching the performance of L'Arc~en~Ciel at Otakon in Baltimore made me speechless. I seriously wish I could have been there. Fantastic performance. I loved watching Hyde and Tetsu interact with the crowd during the show. The show breaks between the performance were great as well. The faces Hyde makes during photo shoots... Wow. Definately get this dvd!!!

An Excellent DVD 5

L'Arc~en~Ciel performed on Saturday, July 31st, at the 1st Mariner Arena. The arena was conveniently across the street from the Baltimore Convention Center. On Friday morning, the lines to get stickers to the concert were painfully long. Understandable, of course, as there were only twelve thousand stickers for an assumed twenty-two thousand con attendees, confirming that they are one of the biggest bands out of Japan. Their performance was simply amazing. You won't be satisfied watching this DVD just once. By the end of the DVD you won't want it to end, finding yourself replaying this moment in J-rock history over and over again.
