Pentatonix concert at Broadview Stage at SPAC in Saratoga Springs, US
Wed, 23 Aug 2023

Disappointing! Bass is blasting. Can’t hear the words to the songs. Amateur joking around. Trying out new songs on us. Poor integration of harmonies. Obvious difficulties with ear pieces. Gimmicks with spinning wheel & poorly managed flashlight/ audience participation. They seem unprepared & performing “on the fly “. 20 minutes late & 20 minute intermission. Annoying to limit time on stage. Not what we expected when we bought our & $300 + Mezzanine tickets. One star rating

Did they forget their wardrobes? 5 years ago glitz, glam you expect at a concert. Saratoga we go ripped jeans tshirt, Tommy Bahama shorts, like meh...sure they are singing but they presented like this was a rehearsal/sound check. Rest of the show felt the same. Like, make an effort. Lauren Aliana had better presence - I hope she's a headliner soon. Singing wise PTX was okay. Something off or missing. Did not come across like a headline show; compared to what you see when they do a Christmas show. So good - yes - great - far from it. Last 2 numbers - all their equipment trucks are leaving could barely hear the second to last song. And if you think its a somber song - and could make us cry - dont say that before you sing it - just sing it. Literally takes away from the performance. So like a C+ or a B- at best - Lauren - A+ in my book.
