PTD on stage thoughts- I
Okay now that I have recovered:
The pros:
Concert summary:
- The first half ( On-fire-dope-DNA, Blue and Grey- Black swan- BS&T-Fake love stole my breath away. Some of the best styling I have seen on the boys men. Bangtan said theyāve glowed up and they SHOWED that. RM with his buzzcut, Jin looking so naturally beautiful, Suga bringing bad bitch energy, Jhope with his hair and his tongue ...the maknae line really stole the show for me today. I could not take my eyes off Jimin and Jungkook. Jungkook looked and felt expensive and those contacts made me swoon. Jimin with his disney prince hair looking both ethereal and like he could pick you up off your feet. Taehyung with his tattoo and bringing his charm even if he was sitting down. Iāve attended 4 online concerts so far and I dare say that this had the best remixes and sound mixing so far. Absolutely immaculate, please put these on spotify Hybe. Special shoutout to Jimin for wearing full body chains, barely any shirts and still expecting us to breathe. FULL BS&T PERFORMANCE NEXT TIME THANK YOU
- The Black Swan performance hands down was the best one off that second medley ( which as you can tell, was my favourite).
- Very fun VCRs even if the storyline was a bit strange and felt more ghostly towards the end. First VCR in black and white wins hands down ( also loved the call back to the Micdrop mv and being questioned).
- I like the hype energy of the first half followed by mellowing into second segment before hitting us with the airy melodies.
- That butter intro!! so good!
- in 2021 the year of our lord I got to see live BS&T, I need U, save me and young forever
- Taehyung, get well soon! I wanted to give him the biggest hug for how disappointed he felt.
Cons:
- The ending was a bit off.Ā
I am not talking about the ments which I thought was great because they spoke from the heart as they always do.Ā
Maybe it was the rushed way they pulled through to PTD and cut to displaying LA streaming tickets ( yay!)? Maybe PTD was a strange song to end on? Maybe it was the medley order of young forever- spring day-ptd? Maybe it was day 1 jitters?Ā But it felt off. It felt like they were still workshopping that ending.Ā
One of my bigger gripes about hybe is that ever since the Wembley concert, young forever is supposed to be THE song that makes armys emotional and its a song that Iāve noticed played overĀ āemotional montagesā. You canāt force emotion. You canāt keep posting callbacks because you were once successful. It takes away from that original Wembley performance instead of building on the songās success.
- Iām also sad because we didnāt get Louder than bombs (LTB). Iāve given up on ever getting paradise live but Bangtan you know we want LTB please :(
Overall i loved most of it. I love BTS. These men are beautiful lords of the stage. What a great Sunday, canāt wait to watch the replay next Sunday! (will post more thoughts then)
