So I went to the LA SM Town '10 Concert on saturday. I live about an hour away from Staples Center so my friends and I got there around 6pm. It was super crowded and there were a lot of people, but security was so well organized that you could hardly feel the lines. The stadium itself was HUGE, but the good part was that it's well designed so it's easy to see the artists no matter how far back you're sitting, and then they have three giant screens that display close-ups. The problem with the close-ups is that they don't actually show the one who's singing sometimes. I was sitting kind of far back but I brought my good camera and it has a pretty decent zoom so I could get some good shots.
Note: Any random fangirling noises in the videos are generally not me, I was shocked speechless the whole time in awe. Also I sometimes got confused as to whether to film the artist or the tv screen at times so there might be some spazzing.
The Highlights (in my opinion)
This is Trax, Heechul, and Henry doing Sonata of Temptation. Skip to 1:35 if you want to see the action.
I guess the tech crew messed up the music and her ear piece haha. BoA's so cute.

Haha, and then during the concert, they would play these weird ass videos in between songs, and it would feature artists saying stuff with the according sign language (at one point the sound got off with the video and it was kinda messed up). The stuff they were saying was kinda cheesy and sometimes didn't make sense in my opinion. :|
