Should I be surprised? Maybe not? I’ve just been to 2 larger shows and the intensity was just at another level with this smaller concert and group with a more unique history. I can sing along to all the English parts in everything I listen to but not the Korean so I was like wow this is some fandom.
The concert is smaller scale, sold out auditorium of 1000-2000 and definitely has some of the intimate vibe to it you would seek a <2000 concert for instead of a full arena. The VCRs connected very well with the concert, for instance they actually look to the camera in the VCR and talk to the audience as if the VCR is part of the show. The subject matter is a little more intimate / humble – like being surprised to see your photo shoot winds up on a random bus stop somewhere instead of taking fame for granted. I think when the group is going for a more “tight knit” vibe, details like that really matter.
Energy was just insane. I don’t know if it’s a New York thing or what – we’ve also been criticized for being a little dozier in concerts but this felt like hometown level energy.
I can’t review songs too well since honestly I only know a feel, I just got really invested in some of the really peak LOONA sound and their more romantic concept and then invested in the whole plot with contract escape and forming post-LOONA groups. I’ll just say the “Eclipse” performance felt very emotional to me, that song is rapidly turning into a very heavy song for me.
IDK if you all like concert reviews especially bringing up specifically just one city but I try to boost some of these groups/solos who deserve some praise for something they do really well.
