@ Shippo: wow, that is so cool!
It's a great setlist too.
I went to their concert on the 21st (and in the end I hadn't time to make a costume
), they were in a concert of 5 bands, 2 support, 2 other and the headliner. The bands were: Horse The Band, MUCC, Story of the Year, As I Lay Dying, and Atreyu (in that order).
MUCC played well, Yukke played the double bass at one point <333 and Tatsurou the harmonica a little. They played mostly their heaviest songs and the newest, except for their final song was Libra.
The setlist was not quite as long as at the Hamburg concert by the looks of it, but I don't know the setlist as I'm not yet familiar enough with the new stuff to be able to quote the titles. >_< I think they made exactly the right choice of tracks to suit the audience, as most of the crowd were there to hear Atreyu and the other 2 'main' bands, and are into heavy rock kind of music. Personally I like MUCC best when they mix the type of song a bit, but I guess that wouldn't have suited the audience.
Also, my opinion is that the heavier songs off Gokusai are the stronger, such as the title track, DOG, Nageki no Kane, Risky Drive etc... and the melodic ones are the better songs off Shion, e.g. Anjelier, Game, Chiisana Mado, Sorawasure... So I don't know my opinion of their setlist choosing the heavier Shion tracks. My partner was with me who was completely new to MUCC, and I don't think their setlist was the best for introducing 'new fans'... but I did enjoy it very much, as someone who is already familiar with their music.
They had quite a big crowd of fans there, which was a nice surprise for me as I didn't expect there to be many MUCC fans specifically...
However there were also a small vocal minority who kept shouting things at them
but really those were just the loud voices of two or three idiots!
