We've seen growth in numbers here on r/exo, so I thought it would be a good time to ask!
What do you feel like is a must-see live performance for a new Eri? For me, it's a toss up between their Japan performances of Bad Dream and Cloud 9. That Bad Dream performance is the one that actually made me love the song (up to that point I was just so-so on it). And the Cloud 9 performance… I feel like it's a lovely reflection of the EXOs. You can see little bits of their personalities and it's just a generally feel-good performance.
I know there are a TON of great performances, so hit me with your best recs!

Wolf remix from Exordium, MAMA 2016 performance(especially transformer) , El Dorado concert performance, Elyxion bar section
I can’t pick just one:
– [White Noise/Thunder/Playboy in EXORDIUM](https://youtu.be/qi6vqNaEe14?si=2Z6dr6DU3qwpvg-K) – the vocals are great as always and the production is amazing even my non exol friends were impressed
– [Growl at The Seasons](https://youtu.be/2wXXQ-GJIU4?si=Mb2AkJQz_pglP2h-) – one of my faves bc it’s pretty hard to find kpop performances that’s completely live/without any backtrack and they killed it. Love that they also mixed it up by surprising the audience in the beginning.
Something unique that’s not from award shows, music kpop tv shows and concerts.
EXO on Sketchbook (Growl and Love Me Right) and JYP Party People (Call Me Baby and Boomerang) should be interesting. Pure raw vocals.
I miss them performing on variety. Growl and Boomerang with raw vocals and a live band is fire.

There are so many, here are some of my favs :
[Sign](https://youtu.be/IAv_lo5dmx4?si=4q-EgfTIK-YEkG05) – Exploration concert #5
[Gravity](https://youtu.be/pcgnezlG2wM?si=FZi9a1u0vO4hq9rK) – legendary
[Eve + Diamond](https://youtu.be/a2xR7GBh8A0?si=QlUHTkBc2BMhkFYd) – GDA 2018. Pure live vocals with choreo. Hardly any backing track vocals and no autotune.
[Run This ](https://youtu.be/GT6QR60R7KY?si=kXsMx4aTalMqwx4k) – GDA 2018. Same pure live vocals
[El dorado](https://youtu.be/QEo5hAQKCnw?si=ClYBlcGCfRY6qbHu) – this is legendary.
[Call be baby + Love me right](https://youtu.be/Gtr9fYIA-A0?si=aAnyfQo7KL8RFCr9) – KBS 2015. Pure live vocals with choreo, no backing track, no autotune.
[Growl](https://youtu.be/2wXXQ-GJIU4?si=LUNjLSHVwLxoNLUt) – KBS the seasons 2023. Raw vocals with a live band.
[Universe](https://youtu.be/tDN6Kcyj0lE?si=-T8HFoKZnZyAx9_F) – Pure raw live vocals.
[Electric Kiss](https://youtu.be/XcdLVKYsHHU?si=Fn4lVVLJP6AbAZkb) – No singing thgh because this choreo needs to be watched from a dance practice.
[Ooh La La La](https://youtu.be/yNTx7sm9esc?si=A6Q481XM_UVp8WRS) – I also think this choreo best admired from the dance practice
EXO at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics closing ceremony. It’s a bit over the top, but honestly, that’s part of the charm—it really captures how powerful and iconic they are.
Seeing them on a global stage like that, as one of Korea’s defining K-pop acts, just feels different.
