eting to the Concert venue was a journey
from taking a plane, a bus, and 4 trains to get to
Pasadena but it was all worth it. When I got to
the Pasadena Civic Auditorium there were fans outside
having a fun time with other Boice. hey were trying to
win prizes and geting to know other fans, there was a
banner for fans to take pictures with it saying “CNBLUE
WELCOME BACK”. An hour before the concert fans
were lining up for the doors to open and other fans still
buying tickets for the show.
I had to wait for a friend because she was my fan
girl buddy, maybe my date, I’m not sure. Finally she got
there and we rushed to get in because the concert was
about to start, the roar of fans screaming is always the
signal that the concert is going to start. I was very close,
front row for CNBLUE, through the whole concert I
could see Jungshin, and he gave the fans on my side of
the stage an enormous amount of fan service. I couldn’t
see Minhyuk because the drum set was blocking my
view but when he got up to tell the fans “I’m happy to be
here” I could see him.
Jungshin was coming over to my side almost
every song and everyone would go wild (I included)
then some times Yonghwa would come down to our side
to rock out with the fans. hey performed a total of 23
songs. When CNBLUE sang “Intuition”, “I’m A Loner”,
“I’m Sorry”, “Hey You”, “Love Girl” the fans would chant
back best to their abilities. Each performance was illed
with such energy and the band would brighten up with
such an amazing stage present. Minhyuk was playing the
drums so hard as if it was the last time he would play
drums. Jonghyun was playing an amazing guitar solos
as if he was trying to batle Jimi Hendrix. Jungshin was
playing bass and having fun with every song that came
up and he let the fans know. Yonghwa sang sot and
calmly while also channeling his inner Steven Tyler.
