Portugal. The Man Tickets

Loved the music! Band mostly in the dark. Video of band members and video of John from the floor would have been better if it was in focus.

The sound was not great. Two hours of heavy bass and snare. Vocals should have been the highlight but they were very muffled by everything else. I stood right next to the sound booth. They should have heard everything I did.

I've seen Portugal so many times and still can't get enough of them!! The sound was so good at the Salt Shed, they rocked the hell out! They were strictly business this round, not a lot of talking and played a lit of their newer songs. Appreciate their voices for the indigenous people.

What a show! Salt shed is the best venue in Chicago. The lords of Portland experience was incredible. 2 1/2 hours of portugal the man and im already hoping for a 3 night run for them next time. Great meeting the band, they seemed like the greatest crew!

First time to attend a show in the shed at Saltshed. Don’t know if it is the shed’s acoustics, the sound system, the band’s performance or the sound mixer but the vocals were impossible to hear and understand. Was very disappointed.

They were amazing. The guitar Solos gave me chills. They sound was stellar and their performance was on point. One of the only bands that I love every single song of theirs. Their live performance was better than I could have hoped for

This concert was lacking on every level. As a Christian, I would rather not bash both bands in detail but suffice to say, we left early.

The venue and show was great, but the sound was difficult to make out more subtle sounds such as vocals

I have heard the group's music on the radio and other music outlets, listened to the last two albums the group put out and found it very enjoyable, fun, upbeat and positive. The sound and style of their recordings almost puts them in the 'Pop' category for me with a good beat and clear and up-front vocals leading the way, and that is the show that I was expecting. I understand that the band is categorized as 'Alternative', HOWEVER, I was not at all prepared for what I saw and heard at their live show. Portugal. The Man performed from a heavy stage set up, with a big drum kit, big keyboard set up, guitars and bass to the sides and the vocals up front. The lighting was from overhead and behind, making it difficult for me to really see the performers from the front. The sound they produced was of a style much different to what I hear on normal air play; Heavy beats and percussion, loud guitars and bass all overwhelming the vocal instruments, not what I expected them to sound like live. The people on the floor seemed to have been enjoying themselves, dancing and moving, but the grown-ups I saw, as well as myself weren't having the best time. I've seen Patti Smith, Black Pumas and Porno for Pyros at The Salt Shed and they all sounded good in that venue, so I'm hoping it wasn't an engineering issue for Portugal. The Man, but I was disappointed. I've seen several shows at The Salt Shed; I think it's a great venue with good access, good and growing services for drinks and food and the Goose Island Pub recently opening. The venue is solid in terms of viewing the stage and acoustics. I'm looking forward to going there for another show, but not Portugal. The Man.

The sound was terrible. Very muddled. The band has such a great sound with beautiful voices. Couldn't understand any of it.
