Best sounding show I've seen at the mann. Lorde performed well and was surprisingly personable.
Very happy to have seen Lorde at this small venue before she blew up. It was a bit dark but it went with the mellow mood of the show. I was able to see her at Coachella in April and again will see her at the Greek this Fall. She will be around for a long time giving us plenty of good music along the way.
That night was amazing. We were somewhere near the the side of the front. Lo Fang came out and played first. He played Violin and sang and was just awesome. After he left Lorde came out and started out with Glory and Gore which is a great opening song. All of the energy and passion she puts into her songs you can see when you see her perform. She does these dances where she just gets into her music and it's just really exciting. She didn't disappoint her voice was perfect. The intro to ribs still gets me cause she was telling a story about this wild house party she threw at her house and how it felt that she grew up so fast after that party and how she couldn't believe she was playing on a rooftop in Las Vegas. She really connected with the Audience it feels like we got to see a side of her you can't get by just seeing her over the internet. The whole concert was amazing I wish I could have gone both nights.
It was so worth it to fly to Vegas & see her, even though I was very sick. I just needed 3 hrs & my prays were answered. She' a cross between Alanis Morissette & Joe Cocker. Can you picture this? If not you got to see her. I'm in Love again.
The performance was just o.k. Her songs started sounding the same after awhile, and she was alone on stage dancing through such jerking actions, it was difficult to watch after awhile. I think she is one of those artists that is best to listen to instead of watching live.
Took my Son and his friend to the Lorde concert and everything went very smoothly. The venue was great and the music was amazing. The only negative would be the show started over a half an hour late but that was no big deal.
She sounded better than the album! Her voice is amazing. Had a great time!
I was disappointed in this event. When they indicate the concert starts at 8pm that's what I expect, not have the open the doors at 8pm, listen to a DJ till 9:15 then have the opening act come on stage and play till 9:45 then (finally Lorde come out at 10pm. However, the plus of this event was the venue. So beautiful. The Cosmopolitan pool is a great venue for concerts.
Lorde exceeded my expectations. She had a simple stage set up, with two backing musicians and a decent light show. So, all focus was on her music. Her music's pulsing vibe and her ethereal vocals were pleasant to watch and hear. She did not engage the audience as much as a seasoned performer, but knowing she has been doing this for less than three years professionally, it is still impressive. When she did interact with the audience, it was heartfelt and sincere and very engaging. I like how she has found a way to end her show with a special outfit first seen at Coachella - the gold gown. The flowing gown combined with "A World Alone" was a beautiful way to end a great show. I am glad I saw Lorde at her beginning peak. I hope to see how she matures as an artist in the years to come.
Lorde is really good live. We were not disappointed. I just wish the show started on time. The last show we saw at the Boulevard Pool started really late too.
She was like a goddess she moved so great to the beat and is such a great performer and so amazing
Great concert. She is fantastic live. My only complaint is the bass wasn't balanced very well and there was some distortion, at times drowning her out.
Lorde is very talented. She has a raw and unique style that makes her special. One mistake she made was not allowing the huge Led screen that the Cosmopolitan is known for, to be lit. It was more annoying for the Cosmo to be showing commercials throughout the show instead of showing the show. BIG MISTAKE!
Loved this show, Lorde was absolutely amazing! Been to this venue about five times and have always been in the front! Great place and awesome artist always come here!
I went to Las vegas, from another state, and it was totally worth it. It was everything I expected to be.
The six hour wait from the line to the beginning act to Lorde's performance was well worth the wait. I will definitely go to another show, no questions asked! Best concert ever!
She was great. She sounded perfect, her stage presence was good. She communicated well with the audience. Overall she was amazing. I really enjoyed her entire set.
Although she was almost two hours late going on, Lorde was beyond incredible! She dances like she's moshing with 200 people surrounding her, while she's actually standing alone on stage. It's very entertaining. Her vocals were spot on and she sang every song beautifully. She almost sang every song on her Pure Heroine album, and a cover of another band's song "Easy." This was my first concert and the experience has hyped me up for more concerts in the near future!
The show it's self was amazing. The Mophie Stage at The Cosmopolitan should have smoking restrictions or designated areas at least for all age events. We are all bundle together with smokers blowing in people's face and hair. I had my daughter there with smokers around.
How can a 17-year-old have avant garde sensibilities already? Can't wait to see what the future holds for this young talent. Great night for a mother and daughter visiting Las Vegas.
