22 May 2012:
On May 21st, Girls’ Generation appeared at Shoreline Ampitheatre in Mountain View, California to perform alongside other artists such as TVXQ, Super Junior, Wonder Girls, KARA, MBLAQ, SISTAR, and f(x) on MBC’s “Korean Music Wave in Google”. The concert was advertised by YouTube and Google, which offered free admissions to attendees. Taeyeon and Tiffany, who are currently hosts for MBC’s “Show! Music Core” with Seohyun, were MCs for this event as well.
Throughout the two-hour long concert, Girls’ Generation performed “The Boys”, “Mr. Taxi”, and “Gee”. Seohyun had a solo performance where she sang “Flying Duck”, an alternative pop-rock song by Korean group Cherry Filter. The entire concert was streamed through YouTube and can be watched down below.
Girls’ Generation’s performances begin with “The Boys” at 2:09:50, “Mr. Taxi” at 2:16:00, and “Gee” at 2:20:00. Seohyun’s solo performance of “Flying Duck” begins at 1:39:30, and includes a short pre-recorded introduction by her.
MBC’s “Korean Music Wave in Google” took place after “SMTown LA” where SM Entertainment artists such as Girls’ Generation, TVXQ, Super Junior, and f(x) had performed the day before. Yuri and Yoona were unable to attend for both concerts due to having filming schedules for their dramas “Fashion King” and “Love Rain” respectively.

What!!! so now Tiffany is going to be the hottest in this pot?
I was so impressed with Seohyun and Sooyoung’s English!!! I’ve never heard Seohyun say so much so it was a real treat and she sounded great! Poor Jessica, it seems like she gets bad mics quite often, hehe. The performance was great! I also agree that they showed the crowd WAY too much. I was watching to see the performances not who was luck enough to be there hehe.
okay i watched this when it aired…. THE CAMERA PEOPLE SUCKED THEY KEPT ON SHOWING THE ANNOYING CROWD AND ZOOMING OUT WTFFF
i was srsly raging when i watched it… one of the things that got me into kpop was the awesome in synch dancing but the camera people rarely pointed at the artisit you know the people I want to see…. there were some moments when they were even pointing at the ground…. The live stream could of been better…
Was Sica’s mic borked? Seemed like she was only coming through at half volume…
Other than that it was a great performance though. Too bad YoonYul couldn’t be there, but the girls did their best to make up the difference for sure. Hopefully this is just the start of an upward trend that results not only in more US concerts, but me actually being able to go to one :P
Good concert and the fans there were really enthusiastic! Technically the video quality was pretty low, I had to watch in a window. There was a problem with Jessica’s microphone level. I watched again on a later replay and video quality was only slightly better, but watchable full screen. Maybe Youtube kept the bandwidth low because of the 114K viewers worldwide.
pity i wasn’t there…
to be able to watch them from youtube was good enough for me…they’re still great…
OH MY GOD SEOHYUN WAS SO SEXY. but why wasn’t yuri there D:
I was actually really proud to watch this live. It made my night and seeing the girls happily interact with their US fans really made me smile all night long. I think I need to watch it again to judge their performance >.< I was just too star struck to actually note any flaws or great moments
i’m saying this not only because i’m a sone, but also from a neutral perspective: they had the best performance! and they sang with the least playback flawlessly!
i could really tell that they were putting in even more energy to make up for yoona and yuri not being there
Their performance at SM Town concert was AMAZING. I could NOT stop watching my Hyoyeon. I got teary eyed realizing that the girls were right there in front of me. It’s so amazing to see how popular our girls are becoming and how many fans there are worldwide now. I hope that they will continue to grow and come back to LA with all 9 members. GIRLS’ GENERATION FIGHTING!!!
Amazing Kpop!!!!7 member only, same as at LA…But good performs already!!!
MC Tiffany and MC Taeyoen are doing well!!!
But end of part,Taeyeon look like uncomfortable…Because of Leeteuk take place her MC’s job???
OMG SUCH AN AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!!!! SO JELLY OF ALL THE PPL THERE ESPECIALLY THOSE AT THE CENTER FRONT ROW T.T SUCH A PITY YOONYUL ISNT THERE :(
Even though they seem tired (which make me feel sad), even though sometimes seems like the mic dont have enough volume, even though YoonYul werent there, this show was amazing. I watched it online, and i actually feel like i was there, i felt happy, really happy. I am looking forward for another live transmission like this, because is the closer i can get to a live performance of Girls Generation.
SNSD fighting!
their performance was so fierce
and seobaby’s solo.. i’m so proud you can’t imagine !
go get it girls !
I stayed up to around midnight (USA eastern time) just to see the girls. I do agree w/ some of the people who said that they looked tired. Jessica’s mic was barely working also. At least the girls did the best that they could. I missed Yoona and Yuri too…the power of 9! Taeyeon and Tiffany were good hosts…I enjoyed them. Sooyoung’s English is really good, I was quite surprised! I love my girls! :D
I wish Yuri and Yoona are here…I miss Jessica’s seobang and Yoong. Not complete:(
Woah, they must have been exhausted. TVXQ, Super Junior and f(x) too. SMTOWN then MBC’s Korean Music Wave in Google. I hope they rest after the two concerts.
In other news: Google, Google, Google. I love you, you know that? THANK YOUUUUUU. Shisus, free admission? GAAAAAAH WHY AM I NOT IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW.
Awwww missing yoona and yuri :( ahhhh hate to see that they’re tired…. Just hope they don’t overwork.
Without YoonYul, the performance is not complete <3
#Forever9
I don’t know if anybody noticed, but in my opinion I was fairly disappointed with this performance. TO be honest, they all seemed to be exhausted, and although they tried, I was expecting better? But I guess it’s to prove the power of nine!! :P
And, SNSD were the only artist to use non-supported music!
you’re right…the girls seemed so tired…i think it’s all because of their full schedules…but anyway, they are still wonderful…i miss all of them perform together as before…there’s something missing without Yoona and Yuri…
I agree they looked and sounded a bit tired. I did not realize they were they used non-supported music, that does make sense now. I thought something was wrong with their microphones because the sound was not as loud as the other groups. I hope it sounded better in the amphitheatre than it sounded online.
Wow, nice sentence structure. Where’s the edit button…?
Watching it again knowing they were unsupported, I don’t think they sounded as bad as I thought.
The highlight of the night for me though was Seohyun’s solo performance, she literally rocked the night!
Yeah, they seemed exhausted, I’m proud of the 7 for working so hard, but they should have flown to the USA a few days earlier to adjust better. To me, that exhaustion rests squarely with SM staffers who should have planned jet lag better.
I agree about SeoHyun’s performance, it was wonderful.
Unfortunately, the crowd presence of Wonder Girls turned the night around and get the crowd involved. In that case, pure entertainment victory goes to the Wonder Girls. I think the crowd must have been scared in the first half to enjoy the night, maybe by Google, who may have told them to stay seated during the performance for the people further back in the crowd or for the tv cameras.
First of all I was shocked because of Sooyoung’s awesome english.. she was just talking so awesome..
but I am sad that YoonYul couldn’t make it to the concert :/ I miss them so much.. I hope they will make a comeback on the stage as a Subunit with Sooyoung :D Awesome performance as always! Soshi Hwaiting!
I watched this on YouTube… and towards the end I got some mixed feelings.
If my observations were correct, the YouTube views peaked at over 114,000. I’m really happy about it because that occurred when SNSD was performing. It literally jumped by almost 10,000 views that my YouTube kind of lagged there for a moment. THE POWER OF SOSHI!!! I was really spazzing when I saw the views jumped that fast and that high when SNSD was up on the stage!
And then I thought it’s gonna stay that way throughout the rest of the concert, but sadly, I was surprised when after SNSD, the views steadily dropped (I am hoping that it’s more of a technical issue rather than people stopped watching SNSD). It’s a pity either way.
Anyways, THANK YOU GOOGLE! THANK YOU MBC! THANK YOU YOUTUBE!
Yes I saw it too, I was watching the stream as well. It peaked at 114k and dropped. SoShi hwaiting!
i wish i was totally there! i mean, the people who got to attend must’ve been so lucky since it was free admission…oh, i feel so envious for the sones who were able to attend. :”>
Some of them even went there right after SMTown. ;_;
The whole concert was sooo good i wish i was there!
