Ever since K-Pop concerts began to seriously happen in North America, everyone has been waiting patiently (and impatiently) for one of the big concerts to come. Finally, at long last, the Big BangMade World Tour made its way to North America, visiting Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Anaheim, Mexico City, New York, and then closed the North American run in Toronto, Ontario.Fans lined up for hours to get their hands on the most sought after goods from YG, the iconic Big Bang VIP light stick. Selling out quickly, the line for goods wrapped around half of the Air Canada Centre before the concert.Even with just music videos playing until 8pm, the crowd screamed and cheered along as their favourite songs played. As the lights dimmed in the Air Canada Centre, thousands of yellow lights flickered on, lighting up the arena with a yellow ocean. An introduction video played, making everyone scream as their favourite members appeared on screen. The opening of “began and the screen parted to show Big Bang. The audience was on their feet for the entire show, jumping and singing with the group. An English version of “” was next, a rare treat for the audience. “” followed right after, with Big Bang then stopping to greet the audience. All the members spoke in English, ranging from near fluent to trying very hard and being very endearing (“Hi. My name is Daesung.”) No matter what level they were at, the audience adored being able to understand their idols, a major treat as a K-Pop fan.As Big Bang started into the long time fan favourite, ““, the arena echoed with the sound of thousands of voices singing along with the chorus. A transitional video played while Big Bang did their first costume change, which included a video with TOP shouting and yelling into a mirror with some very choice language. The group then returned to the stage to perform ““, another crowd favourite. The next song was ““, which had a fun event for it organized by YG. The crowd became speckled blue with the light of hundreds of smartphones displaying a graphic that was mentioned before the show. Taking another moment to talk to the audience, Big Bang talked about how excited they were to perform in Canada. The guys had a great sense of humour, especially Daesung who was willing to mess with his precious hairstyle so the audience could see his “big eyes”. Many fans seemed to fall victim to Daesung’s charm throughout the concert. Fans also couldn’t help but laugh at the way G-Dragon pronounced “CaNAda”. From the easy feeling during the MC moment, Big Bang led into ““. After a short video, the guys sang another slower song, ““.It was then time for the solo pieces. Another video helped the stage get ready for the maknae, Seungri, and his solo. He opted to go with one of his older solos, the high energy ““. It was also during this song where Seungri reminded the fans that he enjoyed cursing. Another video led into Daesung’s joyous solo, ““. His voice rang out across the arena, showing off his gorgeous vocals. The solo that many people were anticipating was the incredibly trippy and pulsing “” by TOP. The growly baritone rap that TOP is known for reverberated off the walls, yellow lights in the audience rocking with the beat. After such an intense song, the tone of the Air Canada Centre changed once again as Taeyang performed his incredibly popular solo, ““. Another beloved song, the voices of many in the audience sung along with Taeyang as they swayed along.Of course, if we’re doing solo pieces, duets are also fair game. And Big Bang has many popular collaborations between members of the group. ““, the latest release from G-Dragon and TOP, had the audience back on their feet and dancing along with the catchy beat. ““, the collaboration between G-Dragon and Taeyang was up next, followed by G-Dragon’s turn at a solo. Easily the most prolific with his solo releases, G-Dragon opted to perform “” for his solo piece.Now, when people think of Big Bang, they’re not usually thought of as a group that plays their own instruments. However, for the next song, ““, Daesung showed off his amazing drumming skills with a killer drum solo leading into the song. Big Bang left the stage for a moment to clear the drums off and change the set, and then returned to perform ““, complete with TOP having his cane from the video. Something about “Bae Bae” definitely began to set the tone that the end was near. Despite the fact Big Bang could have gone on for hours with their other releases, concerts can only go on for so long. Each of the members took the time to thank the audience. It was a very sweet moment, where each of the members gave finger hearts (and even explained what they meant for those who might not have known). All the members did their best with English, and for the most part, gave all their thanks in English (TOP ended up needing to talk a bit in Korean as well to fully explain what he wanted to say.) G-Dragon charmed the audience with his admission of “I think I fell in love with you guys~” Of course, even during the sweet thank yous, there were some hilarious moments. Seungri was encouraged to do a “sexy dance” after Daesung did one to “Billy Jean”. Naturally, being Seungri, he failed at it. Continuously. His incredibly supportive groupmates booed him and exclaimed “He failed! He always fails.” Seungri also swore a few times, shouting “Shit man, you guys are the best!”To close the show, Big Bang saved the best for last. “” brought down the arena, with the thousands in the arena jumping and singing along with every part they could. But of course, there were way too many songs that weren’t played yet, the audience immediately began demanding an encore, continuing to scream and cheer until the band began to play again and another video ran, showing the morning after of what looked like a killer party. ““, an appropriate anthem for the end of such a fantastic concert, was the first encore song. The band and dancers were then introduced and given their moment to shine after all their hard work. They then coached the audience on how to sing along with the second of the encore, “” once again. The last song of their encore was ““, the mellow tone of the song nowhere near matching the energy in the room. The members of Big Bang made their way around the stage, getting to see as many as they could before the eventually had to leave, the show officially over, complete with rolling credits and an ending.The MADE World tour was, hands down, a fantastic tour, well worth of travelling the globe. Fans around the world deserve the opportunity to see this show. Of course, most fans don’t want to really think about the fact that military service is looming for the members, so this could be the last group tour that we get for quite a while. Until that time comes though, let the world continue to enjoy the glory that is the MADE tour. (And Europe, we have our fingers crossed for you that the European dates are still to be announced…)
