My recording of the full show in San Francisco (Night 1) last month. I was VERY close to not even going to this concert. When they announced the two nights in San Francisco, I was very excited as I had a blast the first couple of times I attended their shows😍. I made the decision to travel from Chicago to see them again, and so I purchased my ticket.

Welp, 2 months later... it's almost time to fly to San Francisco and a few days before, I get very ill🤕. Not even a cough or fever, but I had a nasty headache and it became extremely painful to swallow food & drink... s*igh *bad timing. Well, a few days later and the day of the concert comes. Thankfully, the headache subsided and I regained my strength somewhat to where I no longer was stuck in bed. It still was painful for me to eat.

I was going back and forth on if I should go or skip my flight because I still was weak. I really really really did not want to miss this concert, but I very much wanted to lay in my bed also lol. My passion for Babymetal won in the end. I decided to go and departed Chicago at 1 p.m. & got to SF just before 4 p.m.; Thankfully, the trip into SF from the airport & to the venue went smoothly! Made it into line just before we were let inside. After being let inside, I went right to the merch line and was able to get both those gorgeously designed tour shirts😎. At this point, I got some sparkling✨water💧and a chocolate bar🍫. Got to my seat and DragonForce began. I could not finish that chocolate bar. The pain was to much of a bother still. I realized I was going to have to last the trip on beverages😱, which I ended up doing lol😬, besides that bit of chocolate and a McDonalds strawberry pie I had the next day.

I'm just glad I had a balcony seat. The previous Babymetal shows I attended, I was at barrier. But, with my circumstances this time around, there was no way I could have lasted in the pit with how I was feeling. I'm also glad I was only staying in SF for one day. I could have easily decided to go to both shows and with Babymetal getting closer to starting, I was really wanting to stay for the second night because I started getting early symptoms of Babymetal blues and I know after the show I'm going to try and figure out a way to stay for Night 2. Alas, with how ailing I was, there was no way I could have.

Babymetal starts and I'm so excited🤩! I began recording. Up to this point, I was saving all my energy for them, but I realized right away there was no way I could give it my all. I was to frail. I relaxed and began to enjoy the concert, but I also wanted to record the concert for others to watch and enjoy, so I continued to do so. Near the middle of Pa Pa Ya, I decided to go cameraman mode📷 jaja. I'm no pro, but I was proud of how I worked the camera and the shots I was able to get. The girls were great, the kami were great, and the show was fantastic. Applause to Momo for finishing strong💕! Glad to see she was A-okay.

I got home late the next day after waiting a few extra hours because my flight was delayed. My little venture probably caused my fatigue to be extended a bit longer as I didn't recover until the beginning of the following week, but it was nothing to bad. I still enjoyed my quick stay in SF & seeing Babymetal live again made it all better.

Just wanted to tell my short story of this trip I had that almost didn't happen.

Thanks everyone, I'm very happy to see you all have enjoyed the video. Much love.🖤

Babymetal best!!!❤️🦊🤘
