Epik High NYC
EPIK HIGH~~~!!!
I'm trying to upload the videos I took during the concert. -___- It's a ridiculously large file (720MB WTF)... suggestions? I'm trying to recompress it again.... but it Premiere somehow spits out an even larger file.... wth.
So firstly I would like to say that Epik High is freaking amazing live. I love these guys SO MUCH and MYK did a fantastic job with them. (Of course Asher and Beatbox DG too) <3
Tukutz actually came outside for a little but to talk on his cellphone, but quickly went back in once he started to hear the "A;LFKAJSGLD; TUKUTZZZZZZ!!!" squeals. XD;;; Poor guy. All he wanted to do was talk on his phone. ^^;
My memory is a little fuzzy so I'm not quite sure exactly which songs they did in what order. But I do remember:
Cipher feat Beatbox DG
Believe
Top Gun
Map the Soul
One
1분 1초
Fan
Fly
Love Love Love
Scenario Pt2
8 by 8, Pt. 2
Map the Soul Worldwide vers.
I'm sure there was more (not in that order at all) but I really can't remember. ^^;;
The line is ridiculously long and went down to the next street and around the corner. I loved the looks that passerbyers were giving us. "Why the fuck are there so many goddamn asian out here???"
So my tickets were supposed to be "will call". Apparently will call and VIP were in the same line. (SWEET) and once the doors were open I was in the "2nd row". It was standing show so there were any actual rows.
The opening acts were.... decent.... Well Kero One was cool, but a little too long. We had already been standing there waiting for everything to start for about an hour already (and I swear it was at least 98 degrees F in there) so needless to say we weren't all that thrilled when FarEast Movement came on stage after Kero One was finished. ^^;;;
However once Epik High was on.....
Everyone went insane. XD;
I was stuck next to this really gross fat korean fangirl that would not stop shoving her disgust elbow into my face. I've been to metal concerts before, but the fangirls that were at this concert are by far the worst things I have ever encountered. Luckily, it got too hot in there, so the annoying chick had to leave. However, she was quickly replaced by yet another die hard korean fangirl who also purposely kept trying to take my eye out. Bitch....
The concert was amazing. And ridiculously hot, as stated by Tablo. I was suprised how he was able to keep his hat and jacket on in the heat. X____x;;; There were a couple of times where I felt like I was about the pass out due to the close quarters and lack of AC.
The concert overall was a bit disorganized. The venue was changed, there were many technical difficulties and none of the staff could give me a correct and consistent answer about the ticketing and lines. Of course I don't blame Epik High for this. I just blame the person who organized everything. Even the technical staff at The Fillmore were being assholes about the sound not working. >__> (Maybe it's just New Yorkers who are kinda pissy all the time)
I found it utterly hilarious when Tablo asked how his stage people were doing and Mike was all "AWESOME!!" and being all pumped up, Tukutz was all ".....It's coo." XDDDD Adorable. <3
Moar Tukutz rabu prz. <3
One was definitely one of my favorite songs they performed at this live. It started out all mellow and then beat that followed was so amazing. *___* I could feel it resonate throughout my chest cavity. xDD
Although Map the Soul Worldwide Vers. feat MYK and Kero One was my fav at this show. Mike started out with his part after Tablo introduced the song but was very surprised when the audience rapped his part for him. XDDD He turned around and gave Tablo this "WTF THIS IS FUCKED UP" gesture/look. XD They both looked very amused. <3
I really liked the lighting in this. XD
After the concert, I begged my sister to stay with me to stalk see if would catch Epik High leaving The Fillmore. We found their limos and eventually Tukutz, Mithra and I think Mike came out. :D Next were Kero One and The Far East Movement and Tablo was last. I didn't really have anything for him to sign, so I asked for a picture instead. XDDDD!!!
Poor guy looks exhausted. :|
Rest of my pics can be found here and here
It was an awesome concert and I hope they come back to states again! EPIK HIGH! <3
