Amazing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Great setlist.  They performed 27 songs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-live-reviews\/ateez-live-review-k-pop-1290126\/\">setlist at the end of this review<\/a>).  Yes, I wish they had included Horizon, Illusion, Twilight, Fever, and the Black Cat Nero.  But they did all their big hits, the newest songs, and some that have never been performed on other stages with choreography.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The venue was interesting.  It felt intimate despite its size.  They had all the effects I had hoped for &#8211; lights, lasers, sparks, flames, glitter, bubbles, and confetti cannons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 wp-block-gallery-3

Boundless energy, live vocals, and many dramatic looks served.

Lightsticks are a fantastic way to participate and communicate with performers.  Sometimes they synchronize lightsticks with the music, so the sea of lights become a part of the show.  I never figured out if it was a choice not to do it on this tour, or if the venues here are not equipped for it.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even without the synchronization, it was beautiful to watch and I&#8217;m sure the performers appreciate seeing the enthusiasm through the thumping lights. If you are wondering, they cost about $30 in Korea, but to get them in the US you have to pay import fees.  I ordered mine direct for $65 after shipping\/taxes\/fees.  They were for sale at the kpop stores and the concert merch booths for $75.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex

Mostly women in their 20s, but definitely a range of ages and genders.  There was at least one child we spotted grooving below us, and I later heard about <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BabieYeosangie\/status\/1488338397022195723\">this 89 year old fan<\/a> at our show.  The fans were polite and organized and helpful to each other.  They passed out mini-posters for everyone to hold up for one of the closing ballads.  It&#8217;s common for fans to bring dozens of &#8220;freebies,&#8221; trinkets like bracelets and pins that they make to give away.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s some footage Andy took showing the crowd, including the cute child, some of the Fireworks performance, and me shaking my lightstick like a dork. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Crowd scene for Fireworks (I&#039;m the One)\" width=\"676\" height=\"380\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xi0MHIszvp0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Toward the end of the show my eyes were watching the crowd and I noticed this set of focused boys who were not cheering like the other fans.

It was time to say goodnight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" data-attachment-id=\"9736\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/2022\/02\/14\/la-vacation-the-concert\/img_8868\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8868.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4032,3024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 11&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1643668329&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;2.71&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;800&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_8868\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8868.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8868.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8868.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"9736\" data-link=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/?attachment_id=9736\" class=\"wp-image-9736\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Trying to get a decent selfie of me with the boys<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" data-attachment-id=\"9737\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/2022\/02\/14\/la-vacation-the-concert\/img_8870\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8870.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4032,3024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 11&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1643668335&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;2.71&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.010416666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;3&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_8870\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8870.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8870.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8870.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"9737\" data-link=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/?attachment_id=9737\" class=\"wp-image-9737\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">They elevated off the stage to finish the show.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The whole concert passed in a whirlwind of light.  It felt like 30 minutes, not 3 hours.  I could have stayed and danced all night.  Good thing my siblings were there to drag my butt out of the hall and back to the hotel.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I love Amanda and Andy so much and I&#8217;m so glad they shared this night with me.  They assured me that it was very interesting and enjoyable for them too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-1 wp-block-gallery-7 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" data-attachment-id=\"9731\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/2022\/02\/14\/la-vacation-the-concert\/img_8880-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8880-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4032,3024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 11&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1643669007&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;2.71&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.066666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;3&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_8880-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8880-1.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8880-1.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8880-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"9731\" data-link=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/?attachment_id=9731\" class=\"wp-image-9731\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" data-attachment-id=\"9732\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/2022\/02\/14\/la-vacation-the-concert\/img_8881-2-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8881-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4032,3024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 11&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1643669013&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;2.71&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.066666666666667&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;3&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_8881-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8881-2.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8881-2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8881-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"9732\" data-link=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/?attachment_id=9732\" class=\"wp-image-9732\"\/><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"4032\" height=\"3024\" data-attachment-id=\"9733\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/index.php\/2022\/02\/14\/la-vacation-the-concert\/img_8884-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8884.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4032,3024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 11&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1643669026&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;2.71&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;1250&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0625&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;3&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_8884\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8884.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8884.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_8884.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"9733\" data-link=\"https:\/\/eaumaison.us\/?attachment_id=9733\" class=\"wp-image-9733\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back at the hotel we rested our feet, had some snacks, and changed into our concert clothes.
