    Pretty good, BUT...

    by swimfan909 on 7/12/13the avalon - los angeles

    they did play a lot of the new stuff, but it was almost like a 'remix' concert. the arrangements of most of the songs were totally different. i'm not a fan of the new stuff, and they didn't play their well known songs from the last 2 albums. the energy of the crowd was great though, that helped the over all experience, but i've seen them about 5 times now and this was my least favorite show of theirs.

    Presets were awesome!

    I wasn't familiar with the opening act Dragonette, but she was pretty energetic and got the crowd hyped. When the Presets came on they kept the energy and were simply great the entire time.

    Underrated, I think

    by AgelessFan2012 on 5/27/13Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    Presets were awesome. Too bad they have to split their time as much as they do with another band. Would like a 20-song set for a headliner. Dragonette were pretty good. It's rough when you jump all over the place, but have to play in front other another bands gear. The biggest downside is the choice of concert date. Memorial weekend Friday was a bad choice.

    Dragonette Outstanding: Presets Phenomenal!

    by Tanuki2001 on 5/26/13Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    Jeremy LOL, the opening DJ set, started out very interesting but fizzled out toward the end. Not inclined to rush out for his material on SoundCloud although there's potential there. Dragonette was the opener and good enough we bought all 4 CDs at the merch stand (we'd have saved money online, but we like to support the artists and the venues). We were disappointed they didn't have the single for Hello (with Martin Solveig) on offer, but after reading the review of the single release (radio edit not full version), it's not much of a loss. The show was outstanding and we were glad to catch the band as this was their last performance on this tour! She seemed a bit tentative when she started the set, but as the audience began to respond, she got into the swing of it all and by the end of the almost one-hour set was rocking really hard. The band would be worth seeing as a headliner, so we were glad they had such a long set. The Presets rarely disappoint and this show was no exception. The last time we saw them was at Mezzanine opening for Human League and doing material from their first album. This time they were headlining with material from three albums and it's obvious why they got a headlining gig at a large venue like the Fox Oakland. They were tight, had a great light show and didn't slow down for a minute. Unlike many bands, they didn't stop for a breather between songs, but played almost solid for an hour - like an extended DJ set of all their own material which really had the audience hopping! I think everyone was surprised when it ended as the time had flown by so quickly: truly an amazing piece of musician- and showmanship! This was a show worth seeing so anyone who has the chance to see them on the rest of this tour shouldn't miss them!

    great show

    by happydragon on 5/26/13Fox Theater - Oakland - Oakland

    Dragonette was really fun. I wish they were on longer. The Presets tore the house down. Everyone was dancing. It was beautiful. The staff at this venue is always friendly and polite and the restrooms always clean.

    Amazing show from start to finish!

    by Nostalgia88 on 5/24/13Avalon - Hollywood

    My only regret was that I didn't get there early enough to catch Classixx, but I heard they were outstanding too. Both groups - Dragonette and the Presets delivered amazing 110% performances. Great venue with a fantastic sound system and first class lighting rig.

    Dragonette was fun and The Presets made everyone dance. Also, terminal 5 is a nice venue even though it was hard to find with google maps. Had an awesome time!

    Sweat it out.

    by LadyNavy on 5/10/13Terminal 5 - New York

    We danced. We danced til we were dripping, and kept dancing even when we couldn't dance anymore. Dragonette were the perfect openers, getting the crowd warmed up for the Presets - a live show that does exactly what a live show is supposed to do, namely, be a million times better than the band would ever be recorded. Listening to the Presets' for years doesn't come close to the energy and improvisation they bring to their live shows. Whether it was the crowd-friendly hits from the new album like Ghosts and Youth in Trouble or the classics like My People and Talk Like That, it was an actual can't-stop-dancing moment. Sad that they'll be growing out of T5 for their next show, which will be... where? You can't dance like this in Madison Square Garden!
