I really enjoyed the concert. The band was very humble and appreciative. The energy of the crowd was great and the song selection was perfect.
I am a big White Lies fan ever since I heard "Death" I knew they would become my new favorite band. I absolutely enjoyed myself they played all my favorites except "Come Down" but it was exhilirating none the less. This was actually my first concert. I had planned to go to the January show but now I'm glad the snow came. I can't wait to see them in New York again. Hands down one of the best nights of my life.
Loved White Lies debut album 'To Lose My Life', but their second album 'Ritual' hadn't reached my expectations. Their performance of the new material at Terminal 5, however, completely changed that opinion. Great venue, amazing band.
Best alt/indie UK band of the moment : better than Muse
They played a good show. They were excited about being in NY and they let us know. They covered the bases song wise, playing old and new. Everything went smooth and sounded great. Definetely recommend White Lies live!
Simply Amazing. Perfect gentlemen on stage and performed with passion and enjoyment the whole time. Opening acts fit the mood. Timing was typical of Paradise, bit of a wait between the second opening act and them coming on. Crowd was enjoyable but not overly rowdy, didn't get crushed. Sound quality was excellent, could hear the vocals as well as the guitar riffs. Wasn't too loud as well like other venues, just the right intensity to make it unforgettable. Had a little merchandise area set up before the gig as well so you could see what was available. Able to pick up a copy of their first album as an LP with download for only 10 bucks, a bargain. Would go back and see them in a heartbeat. Only wish it had been sold out since they deserved it.
This was a great show, the best I've seen for a while. I missed them after the first album so was pysched to see them this time. White lies are very tight and the sound was great. I don't understand why the Paradise was not more packed! I guess not as many people know about them here in the US as I think. The only downside was that the crowd was a little weird, some people got the White Lies show confused with Jersey Shore danceparty. But that could just be me being crotchety towards the young people in my early 30's :)
Absolutely the best concert I have been to thus far. Great opening bands and White Lies was just great. Would love to come back and see other artists.
I had the extreme fortune of being front and center at the White Lies show at Webster Hall in NYC. This was my first time ever seeing them in concert and I had a great time! While these genuine and humble guys are relatively low key on stage, by no means do they disappoint in performance. I, along with the rest of a fantastic crowd, were jumping, dancing, and singing along to every word. The whole building was shaking by the end! Definitely recommend seeing these guys if you ever get the chance!
All donned in black the White Lies entered the stage, started and got the crowd off with "Fairwell to the fairground" and kept a pretty tight grip on the crowd for the remainder of the show. The band has presence on stage and lead singer Harry McVeigh has a mesmerising voice, sometimes very reminiscent of Joy Divisions Ian Curtis. A new song from the forthcoming album was heard. They also played, for the first time, an awesome Portishead cover. All in all, a tight and visually solid concert by a very promising young band. In general, Webster Hall sport some pretty good stages. Lighting on main stage is always wickedly good. Seriously though bar prices are silly, 8 bucks for a beer..?
White Lies were spectacular. Their performance was on point and energetic. I would be surprised if they did not hit it big. I drove all the way to Toronto (from Detroit) and it was definitely worth it.
While I liked their album I was unsure of how they would be live. They were incredible. Probably never going to be able to see them for $20 again. They're on their way!
amazing! first heard e.s.t. and death by these guys and decided to go just on those two songs and was impressed by every song they did! definitely a great show and band to look forward to coming out with more albums
Great show. The band could barely play over the crowd when they got to Death.
Do not pass up an opportunity to see them live! Wish they would've done an encore.
White Lies came on and just really performed with a big sound reminiscent of Joy Division. Lead singer Harry Mcveigh was humble as he performed their full album plus Taxidermy and Portishead cover of The Rip. Just all in all a great band and sound to end Friday evening with.
Having the venue at webster hall was a great idea, the sound didnt get lost and you could tell that the whole band knew what they were doing and are beyond fantastic. I couldnt even say one small negative thing about this concert because there is none to say. The White Lies came on stage as themselves and delivered an onslaught of beautiful music and skill and to top it off they truly looked as though they were having fun aswell.
This band has been on my radar since March and was able to see them first live at Lollapalooza in August and they blew me away. I knew that if this was going to be their only performance in NY, I had to be a part of it. And boy they didnt. disappoint. Man with this intimate setting I felt that I was sitting in somebody's house watching them play my favorite music.
Really tight band -- as good as live as they are in studio. Wished they had played an encore and a longer set -- was hoping that they played more sounds from their album. Overall fantastic band.
This band is so incredible! They have amazingly dark dramatic and enchanting lyrics!
