BigBang
Alive Galaxy Tour 2012 Prudential Center Concert Review
November
9th , 2012. The mega popular K-Pop band BigBang performed to a
jam packed concert at the Prudential Center located in New Jersey. It
was part of their global Alive Galaxy Tour, and AsiaFinest was on hand
to cover this highly anticipated event!
The concert was sold out within minutes of being on sale. It was a long
awaited concert for K-Pop fans here on the East Coast. The fans were flying
in from out of states as well as from Canada. Everyone was looking forward
to the concert, but then Hurricane Sandy hit the East Coast a week before
the concert. The superstorm severely damaged New Jersey and New York.
Everyone was worried about not being able to fly into nearby airports,
or finding local transportation to and from the Prudential Center. Luckily
the local transportation was up and running again the day before the concert,
but for fans from out of state, they had to cancel due to delays at the
airports and hotels having to cancel because of damages. During one of
the many chats with the audience, Taeyang related his thoughts and prayers
for the east coast during the hurricane and how the band was determined
to keep their promise to make the date despite having to change planes
three different times to get to New Jersey during this latest storm.
The die-hard fans didn't let the storm stop them from seeing G-Dragon,
T.O.P., Seungri, Taeyang, and Daesung of BigBang. It was jam packed with
tons of diehard screaming fans. BigBang performed more than two dozen
songs while wearing almost as many outfits and using just as many props
as they can use in each song. Each member performed their top solo songs
as well.
Being the leader of Big Bang, G-Dragon dressed and played the part of
ringmaster during the concert. BigBang opened the concert with classic
hits such as How Gee, Stupid Liar and Gara
Gara Go!!. Songs like "Fantastic Baby" had everyone in
the whole arena shouting "BOOM SHAKA LAKA!" The "shy"
member of BigBang, T.O.P, dueted with G-Dragon with two of their hits
"Knock Out" and "High High". Seungri did a mash-up
of a few songs including "Strong Baby" and "What Can I
Do". For Daesungs soloWings, he wore a huge set
of white, feathered wings and soared above the fans in the arena. Taeyang
single handedly gave all the female fans their money worth when he ripped
off his shirt and was shirtless multiple times. Each time causing the
roof of the Prudential Center to almost pop off from the ear-deafening
screams. The crowd nearly drowned him out when they sang along to "Wedding
Dress".
BigBang
paced the concert pretty well with their song selection. Aside from the
solo songs, they sang classic hits likeLies, the newer party
track, Feeling, as well Bad Boy, which the music
video was filmed in New York. For their finale, BigBang came back out
to the appropriately titled, Last Farewell, and Taeyang ended
the concert with a sad chorus of Na, Na, Hey, Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)
BigBang's Alive Galaxy Tour was a sucess. They were energetic, teased
the fans, and even had dance lessons from Seungri and Taeyang. Fans who
love BigBang's music definitely needs to see them perform live. It's a
totally different experience that should not be missed with fellow BigBang's
fans.
