Was it good? Yes. Was it $74 good? Eh...
by Mo0411 on 9/17/14JBL Live at Pier 97 - Hudson River Park New YorkRating: 4 out of 5Don't get me wrong. I really enjoyed this show. Lorde was great. Her crowd interaction was good, and maybe even a bit tedious at the end. All of her songs sounded excellent. It was a mild night, so the temperature was good for this outdoor venue. Drinks were average priced. And the concert was certainly not sold out, not at that price. But here's the grip- on Facebook, Lorde posted that she was sick of seeing scalpers resell her tickets higher, so this would be an unforgettable concert with vivid attractions. Hence, the high price. But I'm not sure it was that great. We are all familiar with Lorde's songs, as they receive a lot of radio play. And the opening act, Magical Clouds (sp?), was very good too. But we didn't go for them. We went to see Lorde and she was good. Would have been good to see this 2 hour concert (relatively short) for less money. But overall a good time and I guess any concert with a high-profile star would cost this much, especially if it was all GA seating. Still...we thought we weren't royals. You certainly had to be one to have paid what we did for this show!
