BTS Permission to Dance on Stage - Seoul: Live Viewing (2022)
These guys are master live entertainers.
I thoroughly enjoyed this concert film of BTS' LA concert. This series was the first in person show the band had put on since the beginning of Covid and it underlined how much the group loves performing. They are very engaging and put on one hell of a show. The palpable joy of both the group and the audience at being back in a face-to-face setting was contagious. The set list was filled with all their most famous songs plus almost the whole content of the BE album. The backstage footage also added to the feel of the film, making it more immediate how much effort goes into putting on such a show.
Some favorite parts: the sequence of Blue and Gray into Black Swan was breathtaking. The run from Dynamite to Butter with that great dance break in the middle were so full of fun and joy. They reminded me of the Funk shows from back in the 70's. Too bad that, as is usual with concert films, the director chopped up the dances in the filming, to what purpose I don't know.
The only complain I have is the muting down of the crowd. This is usual with concert films but for my taste it takes away from the overall feel of "live concert". For the rest, all the sets, costumes and musical arrangements were on point.
