Before the Concert:
There were stands here and there with unofficial snsd goods. Pillows, glow sticks, mirrors, calendars, folders, pictures, keychains, etc etc etc
I went over to the Official Sone Booths that were set up to get my pre-ordered towels. If you are standing, they don't let you carry bags in so you have to give it to the staff and they store it for you. So basically all I had on me was my glowstick, phone and towel. Then I waited in line (standing section D) where I met another snsd unni fan and we got talking. She told me that there basically three sm entertainment groups going on right now. At the other stadium next to where the snsd concert was there was the DBSK concert, and then on the other side there was a musical with 2 Super Junior members in it. Talk about a busy day.
Later, snsd's music core performance was being broadcasted so people took out their cellphones and tuned in. A little later seohyun's wgm was broadcasted so people tuned into that too.
It started raining a little when they started letting people in. Fortunately I was wearing a puffy white jacket so the rain didn't get me too hard, and it was pretty cold so that jacket sure did help. Unfortunately, that white puffy jacket almost caused me to pass out from overheating during the concert. >.<
So finally my line started to walk forward. (I was number 124 and they let people in strictly by number) You couldn't bring in water bottles so they had a big table set up with people's water bottles. Amongst those water bottles there was an instant cup noodle.........
?People were really jittery and basically, we were all enemies trying to get the best spot. When I finally saw the standing area my heart jumped, and I fastwalked to the front/corner area which is basically the best area of the standing section (if your close that is). I was fourth row, at the beginning but later I got second row. KEKE
From the beginning of the wait for the concert to start(1 hour) my part of the standing section was insane already. I was squished, and people wouldn't budge. I actually stood there.....like literally just stood there for an hour staring at...the stage because there was nothing else to do, and you couldn't move to do anything productive or like listen to your ipod or play games or something on your phone because you might let your guard down and find yourself in the back of the standing section lol.
Then, an announcement regarding how we could have an enjoyable and safe concert. Korean, then English. (On second day, Korean, Japanese, English, Chinese)
The lights dimmed, one by one, the crowd went nuts
*note: I would just like to express a person's physical and mental state while standing, in the second/third rows. Ten minutes in, I was sweating non-stop and people were crushing me. People are always trying to nudge their way in front of you, so you have to use your muscles and stand firm and push back, and also stand on your tippy toes to see the girls, and also wave your glow stick all at the same time. 20-30 minutes in I was completely exhausted, and my clothes were soaked in sweat. I honestly thought I was going to faint at one point from over heating and exhaustion and claustrophobia and thirst. I dropped my towel that was around my neck, and I knew that if I didn't get it now it would be black by the end of the concert. So I yelled in korean "PLEASE PLEASE JUST FOR A SECOND PLEASE JUST MOVE BACK A LITTLE PLEASE" I pushed backwards with all of my strength and they moved a little, but they were like "What's going on?!" but I luckily grabbed my towel in like 2 seconds. The crowd then recollapsed onto me even tighter. I did not have the energy to wave my glowstick, so I only did it when the girls came to us >.< I desperately needed to take my puffy white jacket off, but there was absolutely no room to do this, so I cooked in my jacket for 2 hours. There was no room to put your arms down sometimes, so you had to lift them and rest them on other people's shoulders, or put them in front of you and kind of rest them on the person's back in front of you. Sometimes down at your sides if your lucky, and sometimes folded against your body. There's never free room. My pants were basically falling off from the sweat, and my shirt rising up, but no I couldn't do anything about it. Sometimes with all my energy I reached down and grabbed my pants but it was hard to pull up tight jeans when they're all sweaty and sheit. At times I wished the concert would end so I could get out of that hell hole. But I'm glad I waited it out, because seeing the girls up close dancing, singing, interacting with you, interacting with each other, seeing super junior, amber, YURI'S SOLO, it was all damn worth it. yea it was basically like that for the whole concert! Me smushed and all sweaty and ready to pass out! That being said, enjoy the rest of the fan account! (oh...and all the bodies smelled like....weird corn?)
Second Day I was chilling at the back fencing of standing section C. From there I could see everything unlike the first day, and when snsd came long the back they were close also. Both days had pros and cons.
Concert
Opening Video
The music was LOUD, and the bass unnecessarily booming. The vibrations from the bass were incredible, just trembled through your whole body. BUT I LOVED IT. The opening video the girls break out out of angel statues, and they rise from the city into the sky. This angel concept is AMAZING. It fits them so well!
소원을 말해봐 (Tell Me Your Wish)
The stairs in the middle of the stage open sideways slowly, and the girls are posing in a line. They are on a platform and the platform slowly moves forward. Then tell me your wish starts and they do their THANG (It's not necessarily a remix. the only part that's changed is the "sone uhl malhebwa" chorus part. its faster. it's the version they used from when they recorded their dance practice video in the summer 09) Then they had a dance break and it was awesome. Then "DJ, Turn it back on"....BANG!!! HUGE explosion of fireworks from the stage and the crowd went wild.
Show Show Show
This song, with the immense bass sound is PERFECT. This song is not complete without the bass just driving through your body. The girls walked to the middle of the stage in the middle of the song. This was the first time the girls came up close. They were...RIGHT THERE. At this point I was third row. I saw tiffany a lot during this segment. Flawless. Her legs, her stomach, her face just creamy pureness. She really is skinny. In person, they're so much more skinnier and prettier than on tv and pics. It's almost unbelievable.
소녀시대 (Girl's Generation)
There was another explosion of fireworks from the stage on count one of bar 5 into the song. (4/4) If you read music you'll get it :] Crowd always goes crazy when there's an explosion.
*Note: At this point my hair was EVERYWHERE. I attempted to do it a little bit more nicely, you know, blow dry it some, pin it to the side....FAIL. The sweat was making it stick to my face and it was everywhere. So miraculously I brought both of my hands up to my head to tie it into a ponytail, where again that failed because my pony tail only got pulled down cuz the person behind me was so close it kept tugging. So I had no choice put to but it into an ugly bun. I had no idea what my hair looked like but i probably looked like a crazy person. All my make up was gone because I had to wipe the sweat off my face with the towel. So I looked like crap, probably smelled like crap, felt like crap, but i was having the time of my life.
노력의 결실 (Cowboy Theme Video)
Beginning (REMIX)
Jessica rose up from the middle/back of the stage. Taeyeon came out from the side of the sage on one of the side stage stairwell thingies. In the middle o the song, Hyoyeon rose up from the middle of the stage and she had two guns. She twirled the guns, and did cool movements with them. She then turned around towards the stage, and points the gun towards the stage, then BANG! Fireworks. Crows goes wild of course. She blows the gun holes and slowly goes back down into the ground. Finishes song.
(Opening Self Introductions)
"Okay everybody. It's time to meet Girl's Generation"
Sergeant Jessica: A military/marching band beat comes on and she marches to it
Yoona: Cute dance
Sunny: Cute
Sooyoung: Sexy. Turns around so her back faces audience, the turns her head towards us and then reaches down to her leg then slowly while running her hands on her leg goes up, showing off her AMAZING LEGS. D
Chodang Hyoyeon: She gives a sly smirk (funny), and then a childish elementary song comes on and she dances funny to that
Yuri: Rock music comes on, and she does her sexy BUTT SHAKING OMFG AND jessica was right in front of course watching ;]
Seohyun: cute
Jackson Tiffany: Tried to do various michael jackson moves, like the moonwalk but fails haha but cute cuz she does it her own style. She did the "OW" part too haha it was cute cuz all her impersonations were so bad haha
Byun Taeyeon: The snsd girls all reacted to her. They made a semi circle around her kinda and while she did her silly SEXY moves they all kind of did it with her? I don't know how to explain but the girls all reacted to taeyeon's part.
taeyeon: "1 2 3 Hello we're SNSD!" ---talk
It's Fantastic (9명 Ver)
Etude
A lot of crowd interactions. I guess somebody brought pictures of snsd's silly faces (yoona's fish face, tiffany's terrified face, etc) and so the different girls took different girls photos and put it up to their faces.
SooSica Moment
-sooyoung almost kissed jessica. Sooyoung held up a picture of daniel henney's face to her face, and leaned in towards jessica for the kiss. When sooyoung was really close to jessica's face, she took down the picture of daniel henney and went in even closer to kiss jessica. She was so close that even i thought she kissed jessica, but jessica at the very last second ran away.
울랄라 (Ooh La La)
Kissing You (Remix)
Crowd interactions for these past couple songs. It was great.
소녀와 숙녀 (Daily lives of SNSD Video)
It was a humbling video showing that snsd are normal people too, that enjoy the simple things in life:
Yuri: cooking
Sooyoung: working out at the local gym
Seohyun: practicing piano
Tiffany: Shopping, walking around, enjoying a nice cup of coffee
Yoona: taking and collecting Polaroid pictures
Hyoyun: decorating a christmas tree
taeyeon: Taeng DJ at chinchin
Sunny: Relaxing at home listening to music
Jessica: practicing for her legally blonde musical
카라멜 커피 (제시카, 티파니) [Caramel Coffee: Jeti] (First day only)
They appeared on opposite sides of the stadium. Towards the end of the song, they came to the center, but their backs to each other on the opposite sides of the center. Then the centerpiece started to rotate slowly. Jeti Moment: At the end, (it seemed like Jessica wasn't supposed to do this) but Jessica turned around before the song ended, and tapped Tiffany on the shoulder, and Tiffany being surprised turned around suddenly. Jessica laughed and then hand in hand they jogged towards the front stage at the end.
1년 후 (제시카 feat.온유) (Second day)
At the end, Jessica and Onew hugged. The crowd went wild!
Umbrella (티파니)
Both days she caught the umbrella. Tiffany's hand-eye coordination skillz= Hot
좋은 사람 소개시켜줘 (윤아 feat.신동,은혁)
First Day:From second row view I noticed Shindong has a lot of acne on his neck. (just saying) Always impressed with Yoona's vocals for this song
Hush Hush ; Hush Hush (태연)
More interactions with the background dancers than the first concert. Girls screamed, guys didn't like. Her powerful voice is AMAZING. pure gold
I don't want to sound perverted or anything...but her stomach....on the first day seeing it up that close.....I've never seen so much taeyeon stomach. Seriously so white and looks so soft. >.< keke
Sunny (써니)
She landed her flips perfectly both days. Hot

Honey
Merry go round
Dear. Mom
On the first day when the beginning licks started playing a big "awwwwwww" came up because it's a a sad song.
영원히 너와 꿈꾸고 싶다 Forever
Crowd cheered loudly when this song started playing. Probably because this song is something the fans and the girls share. It seemed like Taeyeon was very emotional during this song.
Day By Day (좋은 일만 생각하기)
동화 My Child
Cute background. Seohyun and Yoona were conducting little children playing instruments in the background.
콩쥐 and 팥쥐 Skit Video
Barbie Girl (제시카 feat. 희철&키)
First day Heechul. Hair slicked backed in a ponytail and aviator sunglasses. He had the crowd interact a lot
"I say Je...you say sica" Je SICA Je SICA! (stuff like that)
Guys around me were like "Heechul you're so handsome!!" they were being serious haha
Second Day was Key, and he was in a white sute. Looking handsome!
Santa Baby (수영)
Crowd cheered loudly when sooyoug laid on her side in the background dancer's arms
Oh! and I forgot, the first day Sooyoung's awesome fan girl came. And whenever sooyoung's part came up in a song you could hear her scream hahaha. She's famous among the fans. I heard people say "Oh she's here today!"
피아노 연주 + Sixteen Going on Seventeen (서현 Seohyun)
Her English pronunciation is exquisite. Minus some words, she sounded like Tiffany/Jessica.
Sing in the rain (보컬라인)
Over the rainbow (보컬라인)
f(x) - Chu~♡
Second day sulli wasn't there because of Music show recording
1, 2 Step (유리 feat.엠버) (just my personal favorite)
OMFG
Compared to the first concert, she showed more skin. Before she unzipped her jacket, she teased us by lifting up her jacked slightly to reveal her abs/stomach. And when she did unzip her jacket, she let her jacket slide off her shoulders more, revealing more shoulder. T.T The crowd cheered VERY VERY VERY LOUD when she unzipped her jacket and did her body wave. Out of the WHOLE CONCERT the crowd most definitely cheered the LOUDEST during this part.
Tipsy + Fire [Remix] (효연)
Rhythm Nation (윤아, 수영, 유리, 효연)
This time around Yoona wore a half tanktop releaving her stomach, and Sooyoung wore a kind of ripped up t shirt revealing her shoulder and abs. Hyoyeon wore a black half tanktop, while yuri wore her usual.
소녀시대 찬양송 By 유영진 / 런웨이 (SNSD Music Video by Yeonjin & Wehee)
다시만난세계 (Into the New Word)
The crowd sang along very loudly for the chorus. It was awesome.
웃자 (Be Happy)
힘내 (Himnae)
Gee
For these last three songs there was a lot of crowd interaction. For the first song (Be Happy) I'm pretty sure the sitting section was also standing out of excitement.
Touch the sky (9명ver) (낚시용 마지막 노래)
(앵콜첫곡) 냉면 (9명ver)
하하하송 (Hahaha)
훼이크 클로징멘트 (Closing statement)
Second day was epic closing statement. There was a compeititon between some fan guys to see who screamed the loudest. SNSD girls held the mic up to some guys and they screamed as loud as they could. One guy screamed "TAEYEON JJANG!" and taeyeon smiled big.
Also the girls called out the unni fans and asked them to scream. It was really loud!
Then SNSD girls called out the dongseng fans. Even louder!
Then the samchon fans. It was least loudest but still loud ^^
Then they said some words of thanks.
Sunny said she heard backstage that they won the Triple Crown. The crowd went wild. Then we sang a congratulatory song (to the melody of Happy Birthday)
The girls asked Seohyun to say a few words, and then Hyoyeon. . After Hyoyeon's few words, they asked her to express herself through dancing. hyoyeon then proceeded to do a silly funny dance ^^
Taeyeon said today's concert was more fun than yesterday's.
They talked a lot, to the point where Taeyeon said "okay we REALLY have to get to the last song now!
Complete
First day I remember Sunny and Sooyoung cried
Second day, Tiffany was already crying before the song even started. She had to wipe her cheeks and shake her hands at her sides to "shake it off". Jessica, Hyoyeon, and Seoyeon I particularly remember from their eyes down it was all wet from tears. T.T 울지마!
"ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE ENCORE" cried the audience!
(더블앵콜) Baby baby
After this song, the turned to walk back to the stage, when all of a sudden the first beat of "Oh!" started repeating....ddut dut dut dut dut dut dut...and the crowd went wild as oh! started
Oh! + 끝인사 (farewell statements)
Sunny: "Should we do the concert again from the beginning??!"
Crowd:"YES!!!!!"
First Day Other Notes:
-The girl in front of me(first row) was SO LUCKY cuz tiffany gave her the water bottle she drank from T.T luckkyyyyyy
Jeti Moment
-Towards the end all of the snsd members get in a line in the middle of the stage to talk or something. Tiffany was in the middle, and Jessica was at the end, but Jessica runs over to the middle and drags tiffany to the end with her, and then they held each other in their arms side to side. Tiffany looked closely at Jessica's face and observed it closely and pointed at it. (Jessica was sweating like CRAZY!! A lot of the snsd members were actually, it's march and the weather is getting hotter!)
-I guess somebody brought photos of snsd's silly faces "yoona's fish face...tiffany's frightened face" and they played around with that a lot on stage.
-Sooyoung picked up a bunch of keroro keychains tied together on the stage floor and was trying to take the red one off
-They surprised us with oh! They wore their red letterman jacket uniforms during the middle of the concert, but didnt do oh until last when they weren't wearing their oh! uniforms (spao shirts, jeans, converse)
-SNSD didn't wear uggs this time...they wore pink converse! CUTE (cuz its getting warmer and its basically spring)
-guy next to me got caught and he had to give his phone to the body guard. The body guard erased it and gave it back
-Songs played from Oh! album: forever, oh! show show show, caramel coffee, be happy, day by day (did not sing starstarstar)
-Seohyun, taeyeon and i forgot who the third person was but they did their funny thing again where one person is across the stage and taeyeon is in the middle. Seohyun pretended to run to taeyeon to give a hug and taeyeon opened her arms wide for seohyun but seohyun passed taeyeon and hugged (yoona?) haha it was funny
-The girls would whisper and chit chat with ease with each other during songs and stuff. They're so close :]
-The girls, especially sunny, at the end said "bye" in chinese a lot saying there are a lot of people from other countries. The girls also said bye in english! xD
Second Day Other Notes:
-at the end of the concert (second day), seohyun and taeyeon were the last ones to get off the stage. they stood at the side of the stage for a while, looking at the audience. then seohyun whispered something into taeyeon's ear, and then together they made a heart shape with their hands and said "salanghaeyo" which means "i love you in korean"
-at one point tiffany and sunny went to the back platforms in front of the second tier. they then turned around and did the body/booty shake that yuri did at the beginning of the concert when introducing herself
-at one point when the girls were going around the stage taeyeon got up onto the platform (second highest....RIGHT ABOVE ME) and pretended she was about to fall into the standing section. then she did a little smirk saying "'just kidding" haha
-according to vivian (i didn't didnt see it but she said she saw it) i guess somebody brought taeyeon's favorite candy! (jelly worms) and so she was wiggling them around on stage haha
-the girls definitely love the bunny/animal ears! in the standing section, somebody had a nice pair of bunny ears, and seohyun saw them and took them. she took of the headband she was normally wearing and put the bunny ears on. when hyoyeon and other unnis saw her with the bunny ears they laughed
-somebody threw a white bear on the stage in the back. it was there for a while, and then i guess sunny found it and then later threw it back into the crowd.
-they wore different spao shirts for the encores. they were white, but the pictures were different.
Taeny Moment
They were singing together and side-hugging and singing into each other's eyes for a while. god these two aren't what they used to be!!! but this taeny moment still gives us hope!! and ass they broke off their side hug to walk opposite ways, they extended their arms towards each other so that they could touch arms/hands for as long as they could when they were walking away from each other
-after the concert: when the girls came out to the cars, tiffany, jessica, yuri, taeyeon and seohyun came close towards the crowd of fans and bowed in thanks. when the girls were driving off, (you can't see anybody in the cars because the windows are tinted) the crowd was waving to the girls. somebody in the big black fan was nice enough to turn on their cell phone and wave it towards the crowd, and we defintely saw that kind gesture. thanks!
-oh! and the security: if you got caught with a camera they pulled you outside (like they took you out of the standing section) and probably made u erase it. i didnt want to take any chances...cuz i didnt want to miss any of the concert
-Somebody in my standing section had a headband, and on top of the headband there's a light up sign that read "JESS<3" Jessica got it from the fan, and she put it on, and my standing section went wild. Oh, and it seemed like the crowd liked Jessica a lot, maybe the most. Whenever she had her part, the crowd cheered loudest I noticed.
After Concert
First day aftermath: I was freezing because my clothes were wet and it was cold. I was was thirsty I bought two water bottles and downed them. I felt so weak. When I got home I had no energy. I was dead, but felt great.
Second Day aftermath: This time I stood in the back of standing section because I wanted to experience the concert differently. This time, I saw everything and wasn't suffering at the same time or anything. I was against the back fence so when the girls came around the back I got to see them close. Both days were epic from both points of views. Second day I had energy so I went around the stations buying little souvenirs and ate boodaejjigae with viv ^^
After the concerts there were unofficial stands of snsd goods. I posted the pics through twitpic...i might retrieve pictures i posted through twitter later and post them here. maybe when i have more time?
oh! and i asked one of the guys that were recording with the huge cameras after the concert if there was going to be a dvd....and......they said......they didn't know T.T i NEED A DVD!!!!!!!!!!!! (But rumor is there is going to be a DVD but released after all their concerts are finished)
SNSD Exiting the Fencing Stadium after concert. They showed us a lot of love ^^ You can see at the end when one of the girls waved with her phone to us from the black car. ^^
This fancam is dedicated to snsd fans who couldn't come to experience the concert. I only dedicated this kind of time to write such fanaccounts for you guys! (also so that i dont forget anything from the concert)<3

Hope you've recuperated enough and bring a Gatorade or some kind of energy drink!! Can't wait to hear more about Sunday's concert!
