生平第一次花錢參加演唱會，上一次大概是中學時候在家裡門前參加公元兩千年的跨年演唱會吧！根據五月天專業演唱會粉絲分析告訴了我下面幾個參加他們演唱會的要點：
1.選座位很重要（老實說，我真的忘記內容了）
2.一定要買演唱會賣的螢光棒，因為螢光棒會隨著演唱會大會控制而變色。
3.日期靠近可以開始慢慢聽他們的專輯，記住旋律。屆時演唱會可以辨析他們如何改變某些弦律。
4.穿得很ROCK也很五月天
This is my first time attending a pop singer/band concert in my life, probably the last time was high school stop by the 2000th new years eve in front of my home home. According to a professional MAYDAY concert attendee who suggested me some importants -
1. Seat selection ( I think it would be too complex for me to remember the detail)
2. Should get a neon stick sold from the concert or you will regret to watching others neon sticks are all altering different colors controlled from the concert.
3. Starting listen to their albums when the date getting close by and trying to remember the melody so that you will be able to notice the difference on how do they make changes in some parts.
4. Dressing up rock and MAYDAY.
前往LA的路上，我們在韓國城附近用餐。點了該店最著名的陸軍鍋（右圖）和海鮮煎餅。陸軍鍋裡面有美式罐頭肉（spam)香腸和泡麵，可以想像美軍駐紮過得國家應該都會有類似而應更當地風味而生的雜燴鍋吧！這間韓式料理竟然提供了十道小菜，份量非常的多！海鮮煎餅也十分特別，是利用薄煎的方式非常可口。
On the day we head to LA earlier for a short feast around K-town. We get army stew (right picture) and a seafood pancake at Chungju Han-il Kwan. The specialty of army stew is having spams/sausages and instant noodles inside. This dish is reasonable to imagine that US army could have start developing this dish during the war. Probably other countries have different local style of the stew with spam and instant noodles as well. The restaurant offers 10 side dishes which is a lot for us!! Seafood pancake is very special since it was fried with a very think layer crusts which we liked it a lot.
根據粉絲列給我的守則第四，和我看他們身上穿著StayReal的裝扮，多與金屬和黑色風格為主。我決定就以這兩個元素穿著，希望這樣足夠。到會場有很多人穿著超短裙和洋裝超高跟鞋，我想我完全沒有辦法。
According to the MAYDAY importants #4, and professional fans stylish with metal necklace, black T-shirts with wings pattern. I decided black and metal is going to be my concert outfit over there. I hope this is rock enough since I have seen tones of people wearing dress and high heels.
附近停車的公定價20金，然後我們排隊取預留的票。取票窗口留了一個非常小的縫隙，所以在跟內部人員溝通時非常的困難(如果他們只對著塑膠牆壁說話沒有把聲音送到縫隙的話是聽不到的）進了會場，整個LA Sports Arena 內部照片如下，舞台有兩條T形延伸舞台深入一樓席間，在後方則有約莫十個聲音視覺等等的工作人員。他們看起來十分冷靜和祥和，和興奮的粉絲們形成強烈的對比。
It cost $20.- to park around the area and we wait in lines for getting our reserved ticks. It seems the windows for getting the ticket left a very small slot for us to communicate. We could not listen clearly what are the ticket person actually talking about. The picture below is the over view of the Sports Arena and the designed concert spaces. The stage has two T shapes extended out toward the fans seats at the first floor. There are about ten(or more) audio/video persons working behind. They look very calm and peaceful on their faces in contrast to those exciting fans.
我們的螢光棒是和遊走在場間的贊助商買的(守則第二)，因為紀念品攤位的隊伍長到一個不像話（可能排到演唱會就結束了吧！哈哈) 我們因此節省了不少時間，聽其他粉絲說螢光棒和去年的一模一樣，不過對於第一次的我們來說都一樣新鮮。也很好奇這個偉大的RFID放在演唱會的應用，可以帶給人們多少的興奮和感受。
We get the neon stick from a sponsor help selling and walking around since the line to reach survivor selling desk is way too too too long.(MAYDAY importants #2) This saves our time. We heard other fans say that this is the same as last year. But it is not matter us since this is our first time and we are looking forward to see how this RFID makes everyone getting so excited.
下圖為演唱一開始的燈光，所有的粉絲們老早就準備好在等五月天了。舞台上有三個升降台，升上去之後的部份也可以作為投影的屏幕。整整演唱會主要由諾亞方舟和人類在未來承受自己破壞地球的風貌，以電影手法呈現。投影的主題道出人們的心聲，尤其是阿信腳下那幾個中文字罷！(多元 平權)
This is the opening light shows and all the fans look so ready for the moment. The stage has designed three parts of the elevation and can be projected on the rising stages. The whole concert is composed of the movie shows tell the story about the Noah's ark and relate to how human beings destroy/pollute the earth. The projected theme tells/reflects peoples heart and mind especially, those Chinese characters sit under Ashin.
下圖是T型延伸舞台之一，石頭在solo，不知道他們自不自在呢？我看了很怕他們掉下來
The rising stage at the end of T extended stage. I hope they do not feel too high to stand and do solo.(pic below)
這幾張都是T型舞台上的照片，聽說粉絲不顧一切拋開所有人事物向前努力推擠。感謝朋友強力手持照出這幾張照片。
Fans are crazy and pushing each other to reach them. Thanks my friends still holding steadily with the cam to take these nice pictures.
中途，阿信問怪獸：用四字成語描述你對...的感覺（忘記題目了）
阿信在怪獸回答之前提示：不要說利大於弊！
怪獸說：So far so good.
瑪莎說：越遠越好嗎？
石頭接著：不是，他是說沙發好好，好舒服
這橋段反射了台灣當下時事。
Ashin asked Monster using a four words Chinese idiom to describe his feeling about something (i dont remember exactly). Ashin reminds Monster before he answers, "Do not say More good than harm (Z>B)". Moster replied, "So far so good" in English. Masa continued, "Does it mean the farther away the better?". Stone says,"Nope. He's saying the sofa is very good and comfortable". These conversation reflects the current event in TW.
最後五月天獻給所有工作人員，陪伴他們演唱82場演唱會的人員們一首歌。圖為他們對著舞台上遙控鏡頭扮鬼臉合唱。
In the end MAYDAY send their appreciation to all the worker accompany them with these 82 concerts with a song. The picture is they start singing facing a remote camera from the stage and making faces.
演唱謝幕。有一些後方帶耳機的工作人員也拿起手機照下這個謝幕。不知道其他場次是否也是有同樣場景呢？
The end of the concert. It is interesting that some of the workers are taking pictures as well. I do not know whether they are having the same content as last night in north CA.
安可曲是倔降，阿信只消唱第一個字"當"，然後全場就接著唱了後面四五句，可見五月天歌曲的威力和魅力十足。五月天伴隨著我絕大部分學生時期，雖然我不是什麼頭號粉絲，但是他們的歌幾乎都聽過而且朗朗上口。我在演唱會當天早上開使聽youtube 播放清單，剛好也讓我有時間把那些相對來說比較新的歌曲複習一下(守則第三）。還好現場只有一首沒聽過的歌沒辦法跟唱。不過也有留意到很多粉絲只能唱那些早期紅得歌曲，新歌他們無法跟唱了。
Its kind of interesting/amazing that Ashin needs only sing the first word of encore song and all the fans continued to sing the next five sentences. MAYDAY actually grew up and getting popular with all my school journey even though I am not their crazy fans. I have heard almost all of their songs and they are all catchy. I listened to a playlist in the morning on the day of the concert, and luckily this makes me catching up for all those newer songs I have listened but might not notice the lyrics carefully(importants #3). There were only one song that I could not sing loudly with other fans while I have observed there are plenty amounts of old fans that they could only open their mouths shout with those most famous songs ten years ago though.
演唱會結束，我也想唱歌了。
I miss Karaoke already with the end of the concert.
