Here's a pro recording of the Baby Metal concert I was at Saturday! You won't be surprised to learn that my positioning was less ideal and it wasn't quite the same as what you see in footage from their Japanese concerts where they pack stadiums and the audience knows all the lyrics and all the cues, but this was definitely one of the most fun and memorable shows I've been to in ages. 
The set was chock full of their best stuff spanning the years and the audience was into it (in marked contrast to the other shows of the evening) and they themselves were amazing and gave it their all! You bet your ass I spent a good amount of time in the pit; it was the only way to go! Only thing that disappointed me was the absence of the musicians they originally collaborated with on a few of these songs. I've seen footage from some recent concerts where Poppy, for example, actually shows up and performs From Me 2 U with them live and that is more awesome than what we got, but honestly that stuff doesn't happen too often, so I wasn't counting on it. Not for an Irving stop anyway, ha ha!
When it comes to the setlist, don't worry, it's not just the fox god who knows: the video includes the full setlist and time stamps in the comments. Enjoy!
BONUS
Figuring you may be tiring of me showing you Baby Metal stuff by now, here's something to increase your Mana pool an extra 2 points...
...and a song about Skyrim that I like.
Finally, here's something by Poppy. On an intensity scale of 1 to 10, this is about a 9.5, so you are forewarned.
