Despite the air conditioner at Terminal 5 and the audio engineer controlling the mixing table who was messing up the songs at the beginning, the concert was perfect! Paolo is a great performer and can easily turn around any bad situation in to a good thing. His band is also pretty good!
His voice sounds even better in person!!! Had a great time at Terminal 5. Love going to NY to see shows especially when it was Paolo Nutini.. Couldn't miss it.
Paolo Nutini has an extraordinary voice and performed an amazing concert. His passion is felt in every note he belts out. The band and back-up singers were just as great.
So great live and great band. Just not too fond of the venue
INCREDIBLE! Paolo sings with such soul and passion, one of the best concerts I've ever been to!
What a great group of musicians! The new music is the best!
Terminal 5 remains one of the worst venues in the city. The bar apparently no longer allows you to keep the lid on your drink so that's a downside. Also, there are always sound problems there, but they were minimal this time, restricted mostly to the opening act and Nutini's back-up singer. Otherwise, the show was pretty solid, but Nutini is not the most interesting performer I've ever seen. He's not great at transitioning between songs, staying awkwardly silent most of the time, and the show was oddly paced. He would often build energy with a few wonderfully performed songs the Jenny Don't Be Hasty/New Shoes medley of the first album and then let play a much slower song that let all that energy deflate. This happened quite often and made the show a little exhausting. He does, however, sound fantastic live and when the energy is up, there's nothing like it. The performance of "Iron Sky" was a highpoint. Definitely recommend seeing him live, but perhaps at a venue where you're allowed to sit every once in a while and react to the mood Nutini is currently setting.
Paolo was amazing. Expected a slow rhythm to the show but it was a smooth and upbeat vibe. Surprised that the crowd knew all the songs considering his not well known in the states. Loved that I could sing out loud my Paolo Nutini songs and everyone around me love them just as much!
I love Paolo, he is an amazing performer. Seriously go watch him live he's one of the best singers around.
Concert started on time. Warm up band Phox was good and played a good number of songs that was not too short and not too long. Paolo came on about 1/2 hour after. He played about an hour and a half, which was just right on a weeknight. Home by midnight! Music had a great sound (not too, too loud) and he and the band Vipers had lots of energy throughout. Not sure if it was a sell out, but there were a lot of people on the first floor and a fair number between the second and third floors. Of course it was our choice to see the show at this venue, but seats would have been wonderful! There were some tables that were not all filled on the second floor. Not sure who they were for and how one would have gone about getting them, since there was only a general admission price online. We arrived about an hour before the show. On the way in, there were many guys (and a girl) in yellow shirts. They were a pit pushy and in your face. They were young guys that did not seem very respectful and came across rude.We went up to the 3rd floor where we got standing spots front and center which, although far away, gave us a good view of the stage. Enjoyed the evening and would go to see him again. But hopefully at a nicer place with seats.
Pablo has so much charisma and a velvet voice. He played half of his old songs, some with a new beat. His new rock sound was a big hit and had the audience dancing, as well as singing along with him and to him. Can't wait to see him again. Show was sold out. He put his heart and soul Into his performance and it was 1/12 hours of sweet sounds.
Wow! Paolo's voice is absolutely incredible! He puts on a great show. Will definitely see him the next time he's in town.
Paolo was wonderful - amazing band to boot. The sound was great, as always at the Sound Academy. Not the easiest place to see from the floors, but a good show nonetheless.
Paolo Nutini is brilliant in this show but I must say the sound system of Sound Academy need to improve as it's very echoey and horrible. The place look like a factory building. Parking was horrible. It's a shame because Paolo did a great performance! Would never go back to that place!
Sang many songs from the new album, and some from his past two. The older songs were sang to a bit of a different tune. Still really good though.
Paulo Nutini emerged as a somewhat effete and mumbly pop-singer around eight years ago but the last five-year-layoff has seen him reinvented as a mature bluesy performer with Motown influences. Despite his Latin name, he does indeed come from Paisley, near Glasgow, in Scotland as his parents ran a chip-shop (fish and french fries to our American cousins) in that town. His delivery was immaculate and the set list lasted an hour and a half, only slightly marred by the incomprehensibility of his inter-song banter. Someone should remind him that, on this side of the Atlantic, the movie “Trainspotting” is shown with subtitles. The stunning performance was concluded with five encores, all richly deserved, and I justify this exuberant review with the disclosure that I have booked a ticket to see him again at Terminal 5 on September 22nd when he finally launches his brilliant new album “Caustic Love” over here.
Loved that it was a small and intimate venue. His voice is amazing.
Phenomenal show!!! Paolo and his band ROCKED! Awesome music and high energy. This is the second time I've seen him live and he never disappoints! Brought my 72 year old mother with me and she was equally impressed and loved the show as well.
I saw Paolo in 2009 in Amagansatt.....a very small venue ...that time as part of a largish Amererican tour. I enjoyed it very much but worried that hew didn't engage with audience at all, sung with eyes closed. I Afterward had chance to chat...and it seems silly now...to advise him on this. Well, four years away he has 'obviously been spent taking care of that little problem. So excellent singer songwriter and now performer... It was a very polished concert. Started on time, all numbers crisp. He seemed not at all afraid of his audience. Quite the opposite. Very much in control. I suppose he also made a personal journey. I notice he tweaked some of his own lines. In one song about his old girlfriend who he was with from grade school to 2010 and who has been his muse he originally sang 'However much you love me, I will always love you more' this time he sang 'However much I love you, you will always love me more.' Great job. Great album. Happy to be part of trajectory.
Best performance I have ever seen. Such a soulful artist with such charisma. I can't wait to see him again. Rare talent!
