And it was WORTH IT! So, I'm home this week sick and in quarantine and I don't even care cuz they were AMAZING. Monsta X gives an incredible live show!
The show was approximately 2.5 hours and included 25 songs plus some time for member comments and vhs. The show focused on their most recent releases unsurprisingly since they've released A LOT since this concert was initially postponed from 2020. I loved being able to see great songs like Gambler, Love Killa, One Day, Find You, and Rush Hour live and of course, their awesome latest TT, Love plus several of my favorite bsides like Mercy and And. I wished that I could have been able to see some of my faves among their older songs, but they have so many songs now that would take many hours. I was satisfied with at least getting Dramarama which I adored. They also took time to give each member a solo stage. Hyungwon did a solo rendition of Wildfire, which is a song that he composed. I loved that he got this chance to shine and his performance was captivating with gorgeous choreo. Minhyuk was so charismatic doing Ongshimi. He's a born showman. I.M did not disappoint with Goddamn and Happy to D1e. The crowd ate it up. Jooheon gave a really emotional performance of Smoky and then transitioned into a beast to take over the stage for Voices. My favorite though was Kihyun singing Rain. All he needs to do is stand there and sing. His voice is incredible. The finale of the concert was an absolutely electric three song set of Beastmode, Zone, and Fallin'. I could not stop jumping and dancing. MX was firing on all cylinders for that. The encore was a strong Stand Together and then an emotional Love You. Maybe cuz it was the last stop on the tour, but the members seemed to be in their feels, particularly Jooheon who told us to remember that in kpop there is Monsta X and monbebe and even outside of kpop, in music in general, there is Monsta X and monbebe and I don't know exactly what he was talking about but it kinda gave me anxiety especially cuz Jooheon, Minhyuk, and I.M have not renewed their contracts yet.
Anyway, there are great fancams of the concert on youtube and I highly suggest checking those out. My camera work sucks so I won't post any, but I will leave you with these gifs I made of the send off after the concert (I'm glad gifs don't have sound cuz I was squealing lol)
