Ah, I was there! It was my dream to see them live and I managed to! I was having so much fun!! Although it was kinda annoying that my view was blocked by phones, especially when you are not the tallest person lol. But that's fine.
Sometimes it can be usefull, i couldn't see them for a moment becouse of the crowd in front of me, so i just watched them through someones camera with zoom😅
Hopefully when I see them in November in Bethlehem Pennsylvania the crowd is just as awesome as in this video. The last time I saw them most of the crowd were dethklok fans and weren't into Babymetal.
Because it was the intro song and people wanted to record the entrance. Some of them kept the phones up, but most people didn't keep the phones in the air. Of course like on every gig with a known band some people were recording (I recorded a few secs of my favourites as well), but most of the time people were waving hands and dancing. This is also only a single shot from a single perspective, the crowd consisted of over 8k people.
