Portugal. The Man Tickets

Didn’t play all their well known songs. Low selection of food products to choose. However, the staff and the bar were great.

Bayou Music Center in Houston was an Awesome venue for watching a concert. Clean restrooms and drink stands moved quickly. No complaints on that part. Portugal. The Man had one band opening for them and then they came on. I can't even remember the opening bands name, but nothing special. Portugal came on and had Zero engagement or interaction with the crowd. The vocals were muffled even though the music volume was about right in my opinion. I couldn't even recognize their songs. They ran through their set and left the stage. They did come back for a two song encore in which they played their most popular song finally. Went with a group of seven and we were all pretty disappointed.

P.TM is my favorite band over 10 years, they’re an amazing group and put on a great show! My problem was the sound wasn’t right, it was so hard to hear what they were singing. The mics were so much lower than the music which is like opposite what it should be. My husband is hard of hearing and higher tones are super hard to hear for him so he basically only heard the bass and the guitar lol. But brilliant as always and I loved being on the rail to see them!!!

Brass instruments and lead Vocals were beyond impressive. The Sound venue is perfect acoustics for bands like SNACKTIME and Portugal. The Man. Great time

I love listening to Portugal the Man’s albums but they just weren’t the best live. I’m not a musician but the sound mixing seemed off. It was hard to hear the vocals over the instruments. I also did not enjoy that their opening band played nearly every single song with them. I went to see Portugal the Man play and hear their music, not their opener. It was frustrating and quite frankly annoying. I’ve seen a lot of live music in San Diego recently and this was the most disappointing concert to date.

The concert was interesting but not what I expected at all. The band would be served by playing their recent hits early on.. the venue had not a single large screen anywhere. The feeling of the concert was nihilistic. I was tired and out of the demographic.. but left early.

I've never had such a big mismatch between how much I like a band's studio music and how terrible they sound/perform in real life. I still enjoyed this show but honestly production value was terrible, several of their songs were unrecognizable due to poor audio/mixing, lights were terrible/super distracting, and the lead singer couldn't look up from the floor the whole night. They seem like cool people that would be fun to hang out with and they've put out some solid albums, but I won't be paying to see them live again.

Excellent concert. Portugal. The Man, never disappoints. One of my favorite concerts in the past decade.

If you like listening to music, then you’ll like Portugal. The Man. I love how they incorporated Snacktime into their set. They sang both old a new songs and we had a great time!

I was really excited to see this band of weirdos, but my wife and I were so disappointed we left early which I rarely ever do. Ironically the sound at The Sound is not great, that combined with too many musicians on the stage equals audio mush. I would recommend all but the ‘super fans’ pass on this show.

Great from the start to the end, the artist gave me an autograph and got the chance to talk to him. Best concert ever.

They are great musicians but without a front person and very little crowd work, it was far more of a jam band set than I would have expected. Admittedly, I only knew one song but go to tons of shows. The inclusion of the opening act for almost the whole set was really cool as they added some energy. If you like the band, you'll love the show. The Stand is a great new venue too.

Agree, less than ideal sound in Montreal. Very heavy handed - everything l've heard from them has been much clearer, no distortion ie wonderful albums and pre pandemic live performances. I think these guys played everyday and basically lived together... then the pandemic, John's jaw, Francis's condition, and band issues, changed things - the return seems sloppy. They were in the zone for 10 years. Could Jordan and the bulls take 5 years off and return still a dominant force? I love this music and l'll give their live shows another go, but if it doesn't clear up, l'll stick to the albums and older live recordings. Hope they have what it takes to get it back. Wish l would have discovered PtM in 2010... Love the new album!

If you get a chance to see this band, do it. They were fantastic, they didn't talk on stage so the show is just rapid fire of one great song to the next. Loved it, we would highly recommend!!

I was disappointed as the band chose Not to be seen (backlit on stage), and chose Not to be heard. They they not petsonilize or talk about the music between songs. This is the bands choice to just play music as explained by them on the back drop screen in words. I don’t agree. Also, the sound was not as clear or vocably distinguishable as their released radio versions. Muffled at best. I walked out. I will enjoy Portugal the Man’s music thru my headphones only. Too bad.

The light/smoke show basically obscured them from view for the entire show with the exception of one member of the band who was further back on the stage. There was no lighting front of stage so basically the singer(s)/lead guitar was a siloette. Made for a strange experience. They never spoke except for one band member before the show. Very odd concert tbh.

We were so impressed with the band, extremely talented musicians and vocalists with an original and tight sound. We suspect this may be the last time we have the opportunity to see them in a small venue as we anticipate the interest in this band is just going to get larger and really enjoyed the concert. With that said and understanding that the fog machine and lights are their stick I think it was a little over the top and completely unneeded with their level of talent. When I go to see a band I would like to see them at one point. I would also like to see a little more engagement with the audience although I have mad respect that a band comes in a puts their heads down and bangs out a solid set that lasted almost 2 hours I would have liked to at least have them tell us who they are.

Comparing the stage band and the studio recordings, you may as well be talking about two different bands. That said, I appreciated the fact that I was at a live concert, and the band did what they felt conveyed the live concert feel of their music. I suspect some parole might not enjoy such a dramatic charge. They played non-stop, without interruption. And without revealing their faces: they were always in silhouette. No engaging the audience after the First Nations speech. It was like an album, non-stop, just different. It was a cozy venue at Grey Eagle. The extra curtains in either side of the stage force the audience to snuggle towards the stage. Much more intimate than other concerts I've been to at this venue. I'd go see them again when they return just to see how they experiment with their stage presence versus studio.

The concert was good, really good. I liked the sound, but the light operator made a big mistake, so during the all concert you could barely see their faces. A few guys you couldn't see at all

The band rocks!! This was the 4th time seeing them and likely my favorite! Super talented band. Their original music is so good and this time they played a few covers which made the night one to remember! If you see this band coming get your tickets ASAP!
