GOT7 Attempt to 'Fly' at First New York City Concert: Review
Despite debuting on one of the largest record labels in Korea at the top 2014, GOT7 seemed to have only recently found their footing. 2016 marked the band breaking chart records in America with their Flight Departure album, earning their first No. 1 in Korea, and embarking on their first U.S. tour with their Fly in USA 1st Concert trek. Like the boy band's slow rise, their New York concert seemed to take on a similar feel.
Playing to an almost-filled Playstation Theater in Times Square for their second NY show of the seven-date run, GOT7 opened the show wearing all-black shirts and pants, draping themselves in gothic-inspired red jackets. The show started off strong with members like Mark performing their signature acrobatic stunts on tracks like "Girls Girls Girls." But soon enough their all-black ensembles seemed to better represent the band's energy for the show as peppy tunes like "A" didn't have the liveliness felt in the actual composition.
