How long was hikki on stage more than one hour ?

about an hour and a half?
i was not keeping track of time...

i got home around 12 though.

Hopefully some kind of filming will be done during the other shows so they can make a tour video but at the very least I'm hoping someone came away with one of those sound system hack recordings (minimal crowd noise) or something and uploads them somewhere.

A slightly bigger place with less useless areas where one couldn't see the stage would have been nice.

The london show has a curfew... long story ...but fits somewhat into the time frame of the hawaii gig...we also have noise restrictions too... but the curfew will mean that the venue will have start clearing by 21:30...maybe london might have a different format...

wow 21:30, thats pretty early. hopefully it'll be different. does it start earlier?

19:00 islington is quite afluent and prone to residents complaining ...my family is bulking at making the trip from Osaka and Tokyo because of the cost and restrictions.. some members from Europe have decided to give it a miss too..I am happy for you the photos with hikki are worth waiting a lifetime for...

wow, that sucks.
& thanks. its definitely a dream come true.
im sad it ended though, but there is so much happiness inside my heart.

Aloha everyone,

The Utada concert last night was great. I do have a few gripes though. First off, I waited in-line since 4:30pm. There were easily 40-50 people in front of me. When the doors to pipeline cafe opened, the security started letting people in through the front AND side-doors of the building. Basically this meant that people who came later to wait-in-line got closer to the stage than those at the front of the line. That was simply ridiculous. What was the point in waiting so long before the show started only to have other people ahead of me ? By the time I got into pipeline, it was 30 minutes after 7pm and I was 20 feet away from the stage.

Second, the show was strictly no photography. I can understand if flash photography was going to distract Utada, but the security didn't even inform people of the no cameras until 6:30pm (30 minutes before they opened the doors). I had to rush back all the way to my car just to drop off cameras. In the front of the building, there were two letter sized pieces of paper saying NO CAMERAS.

The pipeline cafe should be ashamed of themselves. They overbooked the show so not everybody with a ticket was able to get in. The DJ played club music for a few hours before Utada even came on stage. They let people near the side doors in before the people at the front of the line.

I know that is a lot of complaining but I feel it is best to let people know how the future "In The Flesh" concerts may be handled. The concert itself was fantastic. Utada was stunning and her vocals were amazing. She sang for a good hour and 45 minutes, with only two times to take a water break. I was sore as heck at the end of the night, standing for over 6 hours, but Utada's performance took some of my pain away.

I wish she had rescheduled her autograph signing that was supposed to happen last May at Sam Goody Ala Moana. Instead, 102.7 Da Bomb only had a handful of backstage passes to give out and the contests were near impossible to win. I am amazed some people on these forums actually won. I couldn't even get through to the radio station once.

Bottom line:
Pipeline Cafe = Horrible
Utada = Wonderful
Sound & Lighting = Surprisingly Great
102.7 Da Bomb Contest = Near Impossible
No Photography = Lame
Standing Room Only = Painful
Dude standing in front of me letting his two friends cut in-front of me IN pipeline cafe = Doo Doo Head
