B1A4 2017 Live Space: 4 Nights in the U.S. - San Francisco, CA
<Live Space 2017> 19 February at the Warfield
Start time: 8:05pm End time: 10:03pm Hi-touch: 10:20-30pm
NOTE: This was written the night of the concert, so all of the moments here and what I remembered from that very night. I didn’t have time to post it up until now. Also, no photos because @strongchanpion has already posted the ones I’ve took.
== Pre-show ==
The really, really crazy thing @strongchanpion and I had ever done was to wait six hours for a concert!! The weather wasn't too well because it was windy and sprinkling/continuously rains. Besides, there so many sirens that went on that annoyed the daylight out of me. One thing that was cute was the fact that a police car strolled around and asked a question. Then later they came back and put 'What is Going On?' through their intercom. So cool! (Go ahead and check out @strongchanpion‘s fan account!)
During the wait, I have done most of the talking. It was so easy to keep things occupied but later I have gotten tired. The Warfield employees made things complicated because they did not announce about splitting the line in two: the VIP and the G.A. purchasers. It happened like this: I saw people running and I was confused and ran too. I knew it was something involved with VIP because I heard people saying it.
6:54pm was the estimated time that I have gotten in. I went by quick through security because I had nothing to be checked. I almost walked pass a lady by the doorway that was supposed to check my ticket (because I was too excited to get a good seat). Once I came into the Warfield theater, the pit was already full. (B1A4′s Only One was playing!) I walked out from the pit and walked to the GA standing because it was empty! I had to take my chance and did! FRONT ROW SEATS! YES!!
@strongchanpion and I talked about how excited we were for this. We were both ready for the concert! (A quick observation I’ve made during the pre-show was I saw someone looking behind the curtain on stage left. I think it is even staff or B1A4 looking at the crowd! OMG!) Around 7:45pm, the crew volume the B1A4's music louder in the theater. A few songs such as Good Night Baby (I think that is the song), O.K, What is Going On? that played for BANAs to sing along. They did and they were so GOOD! After that, the lights dimmed down at 8:05pm. It was SHOWTIME! And I was so super excited!
== CONCERT ==
8:10pm was when B1A4 came out. They exited stage-left and waved to greet us. The entire theater echoed with cheers! I was in shock because B1A4 were real (and they are)! (My reactions:) I saw Jin Young and said, "No way!" Then my eyes went to San Deul and thought, "San Deul??" I then saw Gong Chan and said, "Oh god, Gong Chan is real!" To Baro, "What? Baro?" And CNU, "It's really CNU!' Overall reaction: "B1A4 is really on stage!!!!" <3
Their first opening song was Melancholy. (I am shocked about this because I thought it was O.K or Lonely was going to be the opening.) They are all so freaking cute!!!
In the Air, Oh my Go, 악몽 (Nightmare), You, and네에게 한번더 반하는 순간 (The Moment I Fall For You Again) – To sing along with B1A4, I looked at how B1A4 sang and copy the words coming from their mouth to go with the melody. And if I don’t know the lyrics, I will hum the tune.
Sweet Girl – A song that’s never my favorite (but I learned how to like this song), so I rested my voice well during this song.
When the lights fade to black-out, I saw CNU in the center downstage and pulled a long white string out. I knew right away that the upcoming song was Lonely. Just as the beat came on, I heard Lonely and screamed so much!! They are so synced and well-rehearsal! Perfect as they are!! After, they sang 거짓말이야 (A Lie)! My heart died and I screamed even more because this was what I’ve been waiting for! To see them perform this! The chorus and the bridge got me the most (and it always does)!! (Clearly remembered Gong Chan handsomely walking forward to the center. Left hands holding onto the microphone and right hand in his pockets.) One thing I clearly remember was B1A4 was dancing in a dark-ish blue stage (lighting) and once the chorus, the lights changed to red/orange look. From that point on, the lighting started to brightened up a bit more. I loved the song choice between Lonely and A Lie. Good transition!!
꿈에 – The song that B1A4 sat down for a slow song! One thing I remembered from this performance was the members were going to sit. Baro said, "OK, let's sit." And then he clarified and said, "No, no, you guys don't. Only members."
If (너만 있으면) – This was the HIGHLIGHT of the concert for me! I’ve been telling @strongchanpion about if B1A4 performed this song, I will be in tears and cheers! And I did! (Expect for the tears, LOL!) Hearing B1A4 performed this song live in videos from their concerts and live sessions were amazing but not as much as this one (even if it is not live music played)! I loved when Jinyoung and San Deul vocalized together, having a mini duet during Baro’s rap. The best part on Earth for this song! And especially when Gong Chan is being a cutie that was in between them and pointed back and forth to show that the two got those notes!!! One of the most anticipated song I have longed for! And one of the reasons why I wanted to go since they announced this concert back in December!
The Time Machine –I knew they were going to perform O.K when Baro told us, "We're going back in time when we were young. To our debut days." About eight/nine songs were mixed together into a medley. It was awesome. (Though I couldn’t really remember what had happened!)
몇번을 (How Many Times) – Oh yes! I was glad that they have performed this because I like how CNU did an amazing job pitching that second verse! *Cheers!*
내가 널 찾을게 (I’ll Find You) – Another good one (again)! I fell in love with this song when I heard it passing by in my iPod, while reading and studying. Once I heard I live, it was mind-blowing! Jinyoung’s pitch was phenomenal! He sounded so much better in live because I saw his gestures and emotions poured. (And he sat in the middle, which was a perfect view from where I stood which was the middle of the G.A. standing.) I was touched.
Drunk on You & Sparkling – From this day on, both songs reminds me of Baro. The excited squirrel! <3 And like what @strongchanpion said, Sparkling was when the shower began. What’s funny was when Baro asked about showering. I rhetorically answered, “Yes, I do need a shower.” (At that time, I was sweating in my sweater.) I didn’t know that B1A4 will literally give us a shower but once it started, there was no stopping.
Good Timing - Water bottle splashes and confetti flew everywhere. The song was repeated over 4x. A beautiful way to end this! (Jinyoung couldn't get over the fact that the concert was ending so he stood on stage so long even if the towels were long gone. He continuously waved by and then did a ten second pose for the audience. This leader is too cute!) The part that the members kept on throwing water to the audience was great! It was hyped and refreshing. I loved how strong Baro and Sandeul was. Every time they were to swing the water bottle to the center, the water reached to the GA standing! Amazing talents that have! LOL!! (Baro was really cute every time he brought a crate of water bottle to the stage for the members. Really well-prepared! :D)
Since the concert was based off from their 3rd album, Good Timing, this album has made a beautiful memory with these fellas! I am glad that the songs I liked are performed: O.K, Lonely, A Lie, If, How Many Times, Yesterday, I'll Find You, Good Timing, and What is Going On?, and Solo Day. Worth it!! They are such great performers and interactive beings! I love the fact that they threw water (from water bottle) and threw towels. So freaking cool and fun! Amazing people. I always wanted to see them live because I always see them through videos. They have done beautifully (tonight).
== Members ==
Specifically talking about the members, Baro - I must talk about this guy first because he is just everything in this concert. I love the way how he communicates with us and his word choices are really simple and clear! I love when he told Jinyoung to stop playing with Sandeul. He said, "Hey, stop playing around." So cute, like a teacher. LOL. Also, when he threw the towel and it came all the way towards us and some ladies were fighting over it, Baro said, "No fighting." Geez, this guy is too cool and funny!! If I had a day to hang out with Baro, I definitely will! He seems pretty awesome to hang with!
Gong Chan is really handsome in reality. I couldn’t stop looking at him during the concert. At first sight coming on stage, I was shocked because he is really matured looking – much better in live!!
Jinyoung is a cutie pie. He really likes to have fun and is mischief. I like how he did all sorts of things that are amazingly adorable. It was really cute when he said, "SF BANAs, you are the best!" And he did a thumbs up. A really cute leader! (If I remember correctly, he did the Sprout Dance.)
CNU is so tall and handsome, just like Gong Chan. Yet at the same time, CNU is really interesting. His dance moves and body waves on stage. However, I was so glad to see him did so well for A Lie. And I love his vocals for How Many Times and really glad to hear that live!!!
San Deul, this kid is adorable. This kid really is!! (: I love his live performance and pitch! They are so perfect and well done! So proud! I was so glad to witness his Jo Jang Hyuk smile and singing gestures. Loved it really much. Especially when he sang, "Stay the way you are." Masterful.
== Hi-touch ==
It happens so quick. We went to the pit but then got lined up. Everyone cheered so loud when they came. Gong Chan and CNU high-five fans from the pit and the far GA standing. When they lined up, I was scared. The line was moving so quick. It happened all too fast.
Gong Chan was first. I thought to myself, “Why does Gong Chan have to be first?” He was intimidating. He was the first person I remember but I had forgotten what to say, even to all of the members. Once I came, I interlocked fingers with him and we made eye contact. I then moved on to Baro. That guy looks extremely friendly! (He really looks like a squirrel too!) We made eye contact and interlocked fingers. Sandeul was the third person. I slightly only remember giving small interlock fingers with him. I couldn’t remember how Sandeul looked like except for smiling (I think he stood where there were no lights.) Moving on to CNU, by this time, I stop to interlock and slap his hands. (I might’ve done that to Sandeul too.) Then Jin Young and his booming music. (I think I got disturbed by Jinyoung's music. Erg...that leader. LOL.) The entire time, I only said, "Thank you.” It was a flash. I knew I could have slowed down but it was better than nothing.
They are all really cute kids and handsome ones. They are so enthusiastic about everything too! The stage and all - they killed it and it was a total live tonight. Love this experience! The fans are the best element in this concert too!!
Also, applaud to their production staffs! The lighting was amazing! Every time B1A4 wanted us to sing, the stage lights will shine toward us. Naturally, as audiences, we know that the light means that we are also included into this show and it’s just not about those on stage. It was a really cool way to tell us that it was time for interaction. (Breaking that fourth wall!)
Overall, a beautiful night. Loud cheers from left to right, top to bottom. Bright lights that made my heart shine because we can see each other clearly. Songs were even better in live than the audio. B1A4 and BANAs made it happen together! One of the BEST moment in 2017!!

Kaori “Xenon” Yaguri: Sand Timer
“Shuttle Xenon, this is bouy six six. If you’re hearing this, the bouy has detected your radio signature and is responding auto- auto- auto- auto- auto.” Everything is red, I woke up like this - in a red room. The surveyor’s console has a rod going right through the touchscreen glass. The console is beeping. I fell asleep. “Armed vessel, alert.” said the computer over a cheap P.A. The Bouy was still active, somehow. I can hear that stupid recording just going and going. “ Shuttle Xenon, this is bouy six six. If you’re hearing this, the bouy has detected your radio signature and is responding auto- auto- auto- auto- auto.” “Armed vessel, alert.” My head was pounding, theres blood on my lips. I think i bit my tongue. I think the air control is damaged. I think the saftey harness is stuck. I think I can still move everything. I think its getting colder in here. I tried to clear the alert on the console infront of me, usually its just a button, but there screen won’t respond. The console is covered in see-through confetti. Its not safe. I need to get my utility knife. “Armed vessel, alert.” Xenon was in bad shape, theres an air control tube just hanging off the fixtures. There are a few lights knocked over. Gravity is still working, so she still has power. I can’t panic now, i need to get free. My knife is in my tool belt - it deploys just fine, my hands feel fine. My head is spinning, my hair is soaked - there must have been a short that caught fire somewhere. “Shuttle Xenon, this is bouy six s__. If you’re hearing this, the bouy has dete___ your ra_ s__nat__e and is respo---” The radio turned to static, then the signal squelched. No more broadcast? I need to get out of this chair. The knife chews on the saftey harness for a while, but it cuts. The knife is dull. My legs work, I can stand now. I can start fixing the shuttle now. The collision with the bouy would send out an emergency signal to Kathy, on duty or not, she’d know i was out here now. Help is on the way. “Armed vessel, Alert.” I can repair this aircon tubing, it goes through the old filterbox for the surveyor’s station. These are the first thing to go in a collision - probably the cheapest parts in the entire solar system. The rod that skewered the console came from outside the ship - there was a fire, and a hull breach. I can temporarily fix the micro-fissure. The fire was related it seems. The rod cut through an electrical box, and brought in some insulation with it, i think. “You’re hurt, Xenon. more than usual, but we can fix this before it becomes a tear in your exo. Let me get the breach kit. Do you remember where i put it?” I need to patch this hole. I took the rod, about the size of a nail, added some flux and a little washer to one end. I fused that to a panel of breach steel, and began to carefully look for the tear. Usually these things are done on the outside and the inside at the same time. I don’t have that option. The space was unnaturally cramped. Working behind the electrical components made it even harder. Shuttles were meant to crash once, survive, and be scrapped. You weren’t suppose to need these kind of repairs. “Armed vessel, Alert” “Armed vessel, Alert,”
“Proximity sensors, Alert.” “Shadows on solar array, Alert.” I fixed the breach. it took longer than expected. I need to go onto Xenon’s hull and finish the patch. The ship’s security alarms are going nuts. The enviromental console says we’re not losing pressure. The fire suppressant in my hair is starting to dry, it makes this helmet really uncomfortable. I can hear something banging on the hull. We’re probably tangled with the bouy. Its time to cycle the airlock.. “If the bouy is still intact, i’ll come back for the plasma cutter, we can fix your antennae, Xenon! We’ll be on the phone by this time tomorrow!”
“Airlock pressurized.” The doors start hissing. there must be a leak? The doors open. I started sliding, lifting, the air is leaving the room. Paper is flying - its like a tornado. “Proximity sensors, Alert” We’ve lost pressure. Xenon lost control. I’m cartwheeling through the room and manage to grab a fixture, its anchored to the ceiling for lowgravity situations. I still have gravity. Tools, food, cloths. Its ventilating right into the vaccum. I can see the buoy drifting around on the other side of the small gap between the doors. Xenon’s cabin is gone. The air is gone. There is no sound, just me in this suit. I can hear my self. The glass is fogging - i didn’t turn on the air system yet. The controls are damaged, the parts are rolling on the floor. The rod under the control knob still turns, though. The suit works fine, new oxygen enters the suit. My luggage is stuck in the airlock’s gap. The supply crate is stuck in the Airlock’s gap. I let go of the fixture and drop down. The computer has stopped airflow to the room. The doors leading to the cabin just barely opened. Some one boarded the shuttle. They are stuck on the otherside of a narrow gap. Its a woman, watching me. I raise my hands, stepping away from the airlock even further. She taps the side of her slender space suit. Its an expensive model, she is well funded and non-government. She isn’t Kathy. She taps the side of her suit again, and points to me, my radio pack. I respond with my thumb down, the pack lost power a long time ago, there are no more batteries. I cross my hands over, signalling X, it is disabled. she signals me to come closer, I am hesitant. Slowly I approach. She pushes on the airlock doors, but they don’t budge. She wasn’t trying very hard, but the doors are A grade bulkheads. They have to be released from the inside via override pumps. She makes the pumping motion, so she knows about the door’s mechanisms. She is a pilot, or mechanic of older ships like me. I decline pumping. Xenon and I don’t know this woman. She makes the hand sign for air-time, making a knuckles-high fist and then making the wind sign across it. I check my wrist gagues. My current canister is fine, full and undamaged. I give her the O.K. And throw up another 5 fingers, I don’t know where the other five canisters are right now, but they’re here somewhere. The woman disapears from the airlock. I waited some time before returning to the airlock’s panel. The airlock cycles shut, and I set it to lockdown. It will take some time for this room to become habitable again. I need to secure this room and the supplies in it. The visitor could be a pirate looking for a scrap haul. I have three hours in this canister. I will spend them on simple tasks, and then resting. Xenon will use much of her power just trying to make this chamber habitable, i should conserve my energy as well.
