Infinite Dazzle at North American Tour Closer in NYC: Live Review
The pandemonium created by Infinite's first New York concert in 2013 led to dozens of fainting fans and a potentially unsafe live environment. Fast forward four year to the group's latest NYC show, and the K-pop boy band's fans are still as wild as ever (if a little more well-behaved). Forget the screaming fans for a second, though: Infinite's show on Tuesday night (Jan. 19) further solidified the group as a must-see live act.
The septet hit the Playstation Theater in Manhattan for the last stop of the North American leg of their Infinite Effect world tour. Supported by a five-piece band (a rarity at K-pop shows), the show kicked off strong: the band opened with early single "BTD (Before the Dawn)," with its famous "scorpion dance" move that sent fans into a tizzy, followed by "Paradise" and "Be Mine."
Unfortunately, the mix was a bit off during these first few tracks, and even with the backing band, the bass was at times eating up the vocals and more intricate parts of the production. While the sound got slightly better, it was a consistent issue throughout the show, though the group nevertheless found many ways to entertain.
