I can't believe that in the heart of manhattan, in an iconic place, the sound system, equalization, etc. were so poor. Moreover, they should forbid the use of mobile phones during the concert. People instead of enjoy the show and take a couple of pictures... now they use gigantic tablets to make videos.!!! pathetic. In this review, at the bottom says "Upload video with your review", lol
I had been in many concerts which amazed me, but this one is more than just to be amazed, it was a junction of music, lyrics, proximity with all that was happening on the stage. Milton Nascimento in this concert Travessia brought me out of Town Hall facing the life with all it has to take off and offer to us. Emotions from listen his cristaline voice and, not just listen, but feel all that he has to tell. Perfect moment.
The sound was really bad, especially in the beginning, we sat in the balcony and could harldy hear Milton's voice. People complained loudly about this. The drums and bass were far too loud, even when we could hear Milton.
Although I'm a long-term fan, I'm sorry to say that this was not a good concert. The drums and bass drowned out Milton's voice and Milton's health seemed to impair his performance (obviously that part is not his fault and the audience seemed sympathetic).
Beautiful... would go back to see him 100 times!!!!
The body is frail, but the voice is still powerful!
His concert was amazing. Two hours of pure bliss. He sang all the songs that I expected. His voice was soothing. He teven tried to please the American crowd, telling stories with his broken English. Sooo cute! Loved!!!
His voice still beautiful but he doesn't have the energy anymore next time i will buy his cd . The show was a bit bored. But I loved his band.
Milton's music has been forging the connection between my body and soul since I was 17 years old and first went to Brazil. He holds me to earth and at the same time gives me a taste of the divine. Milton: Take better care of your body! We want to hear you for a lot longer. You looked stiff and beer bellied last night. We want you to be handsome, too! Black is beautiful.........
Milton Nascimento brought with him the soul and mastery of an unique composer and singer. His performance is breath taking.
I saw Milton Nascimento last night at Berklee Performance Center in boston. I have to say in all honesty that this concert was by far the best concert I have attended all year. And I have been to probably 25 performances, many Brazilian artists in this group. Milton's voice was in perfect form, his stage presence was playful and his back up band, especially that piano player, was incredible. Very tight group, all virtuosos in their own right and clearly loved playing with the master, Milton. Milton's songs ranged from his very early works to what I considered the gem of the evening, Vera Cruz, with a gorgeous introduction by the piano player (he acknowledged the band but never introduced them to the audience) who gave a tremendous jazzy prelude to this iconic song. This version was reminiscent to herbie hancock's rendition. If you are in or near NYC on Wednesday night 11/18, run to Carnegie Hall to catch Milton and this band in concert. You will be transported by the exquisite musicality of this amazingly talented singer/writer and his fantastic band.
He is AMAZING!!!! Show was a gift to great music lovers.
I have listen to Milton Nascimento for many years, and I own many of his cd's. This was the first time I had seen Nascimento in concert. Milton sounded fresh and energetic. The band was tight and engaging. What amazed me most, is Milton Nascimento in concert, sounded excactly like his cd's. I would recommend his concerts and I would attend again and again.
I remember MiltonNascimento from 25 years ago in Brazil, when he would dance all over the stage. He can't do that anymore, but he's still a great singer/composer. And the band was GREAT. Good show.
It was very good! The place is amazing and Milton was great! But overpriced!
milton is like a good wine.... gets even better when aged.
Excellent show! We love Brazilian music, and he is, without a doubt, one of their greatest musicians.
My friend and I had a Great Time! We got there at 4:30 pm to get a good number for a good seatting, and we did. We sat face to face with Milton Nascimento....The sound, the Music where FANTASTIC. Milton does not need a band, his voice is so amazing and has a power like no other, and he sings with his sould. The only thing, I wish that he had stayed longer singing, can not get enought of his Voice. Went backstage, met him and his group, very sweet person and very welcoming. It was a Brilliant Nite, what a Soul and the Voice! Loved! Loved !Loved!
The full-house that came out on a cold-dark rainy evening to see Brazilian muscial legend Milton Nascimento and his deeply talented band perform was richly rewarded with a spectacular performance. Milton serenaded us with a diverse range of songs from his long repertoire, hitting every note with his uniquely and sometimes haunting "Milton voice". The musicians: piano, drum, electric bass guitar and electric guitar rhythmically blended to bring incredible modern sounds, dissonance and melodic, with very traditional afro-Brazilian beats. Every member of the audience was compelled to bob along with the music that was coming from the cool, spiritual and witty Milton. The band was in the groove and so were we. We were witnessing musical history, since the likes of Milton Nascimento does not come into this world very often and maybe never again. Thank you Milton!
Milton's voice was perfect as usual, but his show was too short. And, he didn't play several of my favorites, Travessia, in particular. Not sure I would pay this much to see him again.
