I invited my friend Shiying (@shiying0511), who went to the live concert of ADOY in Los Angeles (Lodge Room Highland Park) with me on March 12th 2022, to reflect on and talk about this meaningful experience.

The video includes clarifying texts and video clips from the live performance, which contextualize and visualize the conversations. Also, YouTube is very convenient for entering different chapters directly from the progress bar.

March 12th, 2022 at Lodge Room Highland Park. We were standing on a small platform closer to stage left. It created a special view letting me feel that I was in between the performers and the audiences, where I could see the reaction of the audiences clearly
The poster in the mirror makes the band name ADOY flipped and looks like YOGA/YODA (which is actually the name of the cat of the band and where they got their band name from)

As mentioned at the 38:00-minute mark of the podcast, Shiying and I were inspired to create a cover version of the song “Grace” while listening to it during ADOY’s live concert. And here is our rendition of it!
