Let me just start off by saying I had high expectations of this gig and I was incredibly excited; I had watched so many PVs and Inkigayos that I felt I had seen them live already... and I was not dissapointed.
I was quite near the front standing, so when 'Alive' blasted out, I had to endure a rush forwards (me included in the rush). They went on to play 'Tonight', which had the whole audience moving and also gave us our firt glimpse of the members of BIGBANG.
Now, the members of BIGBANG. WOW, FANTASTIC BABY. They are so much hotter and cooler in the flesh, its ridiculous. G Dragon was smaller and thinner than I thought, but along with TOP, the two are literally perfect. Taeyang, Seungri and Daesung were as I imagined, but still hotter than on youtube. By the end of the night two things were clear: they can really sing and they can really dance.
They played a lot of my favourite songs, such as 'Hands Up', 'Stupid Liar' and 'Heaven'. I think with every song they changed their outfits, which was impressive in its own right. The band were incredible, as they added things to the songs that weren't present in the studio versions; for example, during Seungri's verse on 'Fantastic Baby', the drums became slower and were hitting every offbeat, which I liked very much.
The stage talks were fun and a nice break, with Taeyang singing a cover of a Chris Brown song whilst having a tissue up his nose to stop the nosebleed he had suffered earlier on. All the members were good at english and I was reminded just why BIGBANG were so popular globally compared to their other asian counterparts.
But not everything was perfect unfortunately. I thought that there was too much stage time given to the member's solo songs. I am not a great fan of these songs, and I can safely say I am only a fan of Seungri's and Daesung's songs. However, G Dragon's 'One of a Kind' did not fail to get me moving, so I can't really complain a lot about this aspect of the concert.
Overall this was an incredible concert, a truly entertaining concert. It was nice to experience a non-metal/rock concert and as a result I was less tired and in less pain. I kind of wish I had bought tickets to go on the next day as well.
10/10
