Lovebites "Unchained" 2024.09.12 San Francisco

[@Mysterious_Grimpond]

You've been plugging this band since the very beginning and I'm so happy you got to see them so close in person! Thanks for the capture! 🤘🤘🤘

[@hiawatha.g]

My pleasure! I hope you get to see them if you haven't already. Just an amazing time!

[@Mysterious_Grimpond]

@@hiawatha.g I'm 75 miles south of SF and I missed out on this show. I had the pleasure to see BABYMETAL at the Warfield back in 2019 and that was the band that initially turned me on to this wonderful music scene in Japan! Next time LB is anywhere near the area I will definitely be there!

[@okkuオック]

How awesome was that! They couldn't be closer if they were in your living room. So lucky to be there, thanks for the video, I can only hope they come to Seattle next time so I can go. 🤘🐺🤘🔥💥

[@hiawatha.g]

I'd come to Seattle to see them!

[@taknothing4896]

Well, Du Nord is about the size of a living room, with a stage to match... The place was sold out and packed!

[@PurinChannel0817]

🤘Congratulations on completing your world tour! Thank you for your valuable video!🤘🐺🎸 🤘ワールドツアー完遂おめでとうございます！貴重な映像ありがとうございます！🤘🐺🎸

[@1970Phoenix]

Thanks for uploading. That closeup on Fami shows you just how good she is as a bassist. Her finger speed and control are exceptional, and her technical ability (mixing in slapping with figer picking) is elite.

[@hiawatha.g]

Agreed. And she's grinning most of the time while doing all that.

[@JFrancoDrums]

Awesome! Im glad they finally made it to the US and seems like it was an amazing time for the fans! Thank you for sharing the video!! 🤘🙂🔥

[@hiawatha.g]

Amazing indeed, and I want more!

this show blew my mind even better live then their videos was a great show worth the drive from reno

You bet!

[@CaffeineNightOwl]

so much energy and good feelings. thank you for sharing, hiawatha.

[@hiawatha.g]

My pleasure. I didn't shoot most of the concert but I knew I wanted to capture this song, and it worked out nicely.

[@fredalbrecht986]

Good stuff Hiawatha. Thanks for sharing. 🤘✌

[@hiawatha.g]

thank you Fred!

[@allenhuling598]

Awesome!!! Thanks Hiawatha!!

[@hiawatha.g]

Most welcome!

[@billozzy5760]

I haven't seen many bands whose songs sound better live....like this one....

[@hiawatha.g]

Agreed!

[@TheCyberMantis]

I hope when they come back again... they can play larger venues. ☺

[@taknothing4896]

With better sound I hope.

[@bigg2988]

Yes, I was kind of sad to see them so cramped for this show. Even if you play big festivals in Asia and Europe, that only means you have to start all over again once you get to the US...

[@evilvolts]

Shared in all my groups I'm in ]:)

[@hiawatha.g]

thanks!

[@randallraider9015]

LOVE YOU LADIES

[@beldin2987]

On the one side of course i wish the girls to get more famous and play in bigger halls, on the other side i think its so much nicer to have concerts in smaller halls/clubs whatever where you can actually see them face to face.

[@hiawatha.g]

I agree. This is probably the last time they'll play something this small. I feel lucky to have been there. And they gave it all they had, it was amazing.

[@dregeye]

@@hiawatha.g I'm with you 100% on "lucky to have been there", and was 100% in being present there, in the "preferred viewing" off to the right & elevated. As you know well, words cannot really 'tell the story', but this video helps 😉 Thank you very much! 🐺 dreg👁

[@hiawatha.g]

@@dregeyewish we'd met, you're always right there in the comments, I feel like we're friends.

[@dregeye]

@@hiawatha.g Yes 100% on "wish we'd met" & "like we're friends" also. My one 'regret' is that I did not "Announce" my online name to the whole group out front on the sidewalk. So many great people, wise people who LOVE LOVEBITES !! I was #12, still evidenced by some red on the back of my hand written by Matt Clark. My email is in my 'about' section. send anything & I'll reply with my "picture that tells a story" so you can identify me 'next time!' ... 🐺 dreg👁

[@boyzyu]

Hey Hiawatha, hope you enjoyed the show and thanks for the upload !

[@hiawatha.g]

Some bands get demotivated by a small venue. Lovebites cranked it up to 11.

[@athlonen]

I was at this show as well. It was phenomenal! Everyone there could tell how much the band realized how much much they were loved! I think it is all but guaranteed that they will be back, especially if you were at the VIP session!

[@hiawatha.g]

At the meet and greet I told them they were welcome to visit our planet any time they want to.

[@NameGueSapeYe]

Lol they're indeed out of this world!​@@hiawatha.g

[@athlonen]

@@hiawatha.g I was at the end of the line when the guy with the Mexico flag took his photo with the ladies.. and I believe it was Midori (who has absolutely perfect English) if not Asami that said that they will try to get to Mexico when they come back... "next year". My eyes and ears lit up when I heard that!

[@hiawatha.g]

@@athlonen I met Francisco in the line and we stood together in the "short" section. He was thrilled about the announcement of the Mexico date!

[@ChristopherEvans-650]

@@athlonen They already announced that they will be performing on March 1st, 2025 in Mexico City at the Titans of Metal Festival. They posted it on Instagram on the day of the San Francisco show. I was at the SF show. It was awesome. Way more VIP ticket holders than general admission.

[@HowardGraves-e4k]

Asami is the epitome of womanhood. Take that any way you want to. For me, she makes sure that everyone is feeling as good as possible with what's going on.

[@hiawatha.g]

She does clearly care about the fans--they all do.

[@alexblane-layder3902]

Gdamn you can put these girls in a bathroom and they still rip your face off

[@hiawatha.g]

It was sublime. After the show I invited them to visit our planet again whenever they want.

[@TheCyberMantis]

@@hiawatha.g 😁👍🏼

[@hans_Mustermann5000]

Thx for sharing! How did you manage to obtain such a good quality for a fancam? Just with your smartphone or an additional external mic? Up the LOVEBITTEN and greetings from Germany! 👍❤‍🔥👍

[@hiawatha.g]

Hey Hans, most welcome. This is actually my old i-Phone SE, with no enhancements. I bought a newer phone, with the fancy camera and supposedly better mic, but the old one works better. So I use the new phone for business, but the old one for recording concerts. 😂😂 Apple probably doesn't want people to know about this.

[@RussKarlberg]

Nice. I was way at the back and could not see anything :(

[@hiawatha.g]

It's a weirdly shaped space, for sure. I hope next time around you get to see more of them. I had already maxed on merch at Atlanta, so I beelined straight for the front. We had a "short people's club" up there!

[@taknothing4896]

@@hiawatha.g Not short enough! I was over on the right but and not too far from the stage, but could only catch glimpses between all the tall guys in front of me.

[@RussKarlberg]

@@hiawatha.g Well, I'm over 6 feet and I could not see anything, so I feel bad for anyone shorter who was there... I guess we have to go to Japan to really see Lovebites in a great venue...

[@hiawatha.g]

@@RussKarlberg Well, that is on the list!

[@bigg2988]

@@RussKarlberg AND, you would easily be "big in Japan", so no worry about getting the good view! \m/

[@gham5586]

Didn’t you go to Atlanta also? I appreciate your dedication to these ladies!🔥🐺

[@GregKeskinen]

Too bad they haven't achieved the same recognition as Babymetal(yet). Both are good, just in different ways.

[@hiawatha.g]

Love them both. Babymetal had the benefit of better management and more promotional resources.

[@TheZepparellaFiles]

Hi Charles, great capture of Unchained! It came out so surprising well for an older iPhone SE model. I was wondering if you'd be okay if I include your video into my full show post that I'm processing now. I had a faulty camera issue occur during this one song and so I missed it entirely (I only have 12 of the 13 song setlist). If you're cool with it I will credit you in the video description. (Btw, I also DM'd your email). Thanks. --Will

[@hiawatha.g]

Dear Will, of course you can use it! Yes, a credit would be nice, though I assume neither of us gets any monetization. I do hope the band are getting some payments from all the youtube bootlegs of the tour!

[@hiawatha.g]

see emails. I dropped it at the link you sent, let me know if it works.

[@ricardo__jr]

Thank you! However, once again the setlist only had 13 songs. It couldn't have been due to fatigue, since they had been walking around a lot before the show. Could there be another reason for such a short setlist?

[@hiawatha.g]

Not sure. This one split the list differently--10 + 3. But still a total of 13. They spent a long time on meet-and-greet after each show, and they started late in LA because of technical issues. The venues may have a limit on how late they can go.
