Second time seeing this band. They keep getting better and better (didn’t know that was
possible after Depression Cherry album, my fav). Lighting was moody, hypnotic, and not
distracting. Just like I like it. Sound was awesome right on the floor. Drinks at this venue could
be cheaper but that’s another topic. Peace

AMAZING VISUAL EXPERIENCE
This was an amazing experience, I don't know why people are complaining they did not
see the band's faces, the lighting was an intentional choice and added to the
atmosphere of the show. It was a very hypnotic and otherworldly experience that
complimented and enhanced Beach House's music.

EXCELLENT
This was the fourth time I’ve seen Beach House. Show was excellent! Couldn’t love them more. Lighting was cool. It was wonderfully loud. Great experience!

STELLAR, HYPNOTIC, SPECTACULAR, LEFT ME BREATHLESS
This concert made my dreams come true. I have been a fan of Beach House since 2013 so I was very pleasantly surprised when they came through town! Getting tickets was a bit of an ordeal but it's to be expected. Met Groupies in the box office line who got to go ahead of us in line. Purchased tickets and got in where we were immediately seduced by a bartender who charged us $43 for 2 drinks! We then settled in and were completely absorbed and it was like coming sexually listening to the psychedelic and purest of tones only reinforcing the gorgeousness of the album on vinyl.
For those who are complaining of the "loudness" need to go to more concerts because the sound quality was flawlessly dynamic and revealed facets of their music that I never heard before. It was awe-inspiring and I will remember my 37th birthday for many years to come in great fondness. The Paramount Theatre design and architecture left me speechless. Such a grandeur experience.

DISMAL SOUND
I was so excited to see one of my absolute fave bands in a typically fantastic venue.
There were some shining moments like "Sparks" was mind blowing but the sound was
awful most of the show. There was feedback happening throughout and it was SO loud
the beautiful subtlety of the bands sound was lost as was the vocal. Really disappointed.

WISH I SAW THEM
The Beach house played in virtual darkness. Sound was ok, but I wish I could have seen
them! one of the pleasures of a live show is that to can engage with the performers and
see how they react to their own music. they didn't provide us that opportunity.
Brian Warn from Seattle, Washington
GREAT SETLIST -- BASS WAS OVERPOWERING
This was my first time seeing them after finding out only a few months ago about this wonderful band. The selection of songs in the Paramount venue was excellent. The bass however in the highest balcony row where my seats were overpowered most of the songs. My daughter in fact had too leave after the fourth song because the bass started to make her ill. That was a real shame. I'd love to see Beach House again, but I'll be looking closely at reviews to see as previous reviews I read here have indicated if this "over bass" continues to be an issue going forward.

ALSO MEH
Anyone not a giant was stuck looking at the
backs of the people in front of them. Didn’t
even see the stage.
Awesome to hear Beach House, but setlist was
fairly disappointing. One song from Teen
Dream :| I understand that a band has a desire
to promote a new cd, but I wish there could
have been more variety. From the lack of
enthusiasm in the crowd, I don’t think I was
alone in my wishing.

OVERLY AMBITIOUS
Opening act needs practice. Melding Arcade Fire with Jefferson
Airplane is tough and adventurous stuff that is possible, but just not
yet. Try some simpler arrangements until you have the chops.
Beach House blew out the inadequate venue sound system with their
over-reaching vocals and taped filler. The fanboyz and fangirlz bopped
their heads stridently trying to self-induce an ardent frenzy and
another hit song. When a “deep cut” arrived to supplant their desired
ditty they slowed their pace.
Beach House needs to make a decision as to whether they are arty or
pop du jour. Their fans need to know.
JAMES from Vancouver, British Columbia
DISAPPOINTING
Right off the bat, the sound was awful and way too loud for the venue given it was a
seated audience. I felt sorry for the kids sitting behind me as the volume was
downright uncomfortable.
The crowd response was good but was, in my opinion, probably due to the people
excited by the opportunity to see a really good band.
The experience came off more as a shoegazerish wall of sound performance which I
wasn't expecting.
The was a lot of feedback and the vocals were completely indecipherable. Was also
disappointing to not be able to see the band at all as they were completely back-lit
for the entire time.
Based on my experience, I'd be reluctant to go see another band at the Orpheum
which is a shame as it's a beautiful venue and the seats provided a great view of the
band. Lots of places to eat nearby pre-show as well.
Was good to hear some songs that I didn't recognize but felt they should have
thrown in a few more of their more popular songs for a better balance.
Michael from Portland, Oregon
TERRIBLE SOUND
Beach House and their opening act, Sound of
Ceres, had the same problem. The bass was
stupidly loud, often almost atonal in its
intensity, and the rest of the instruments were
just a muddled mess in the mix. Oddly enough,
when I stepped out into the lobby mid show, I
realized that the sound pumped out there was
mixed really well. But a constant barrage of
110 dB sound (measured it) and a bad mix just
made for a boring evening. I was really looking
forward to this show and am sadly
disappointed.

Short set.
Only played a couple songs from Team Dream and Bloom.
Lighting was so dark I never saw their faces.
Greg Rubinstein from Venice, California
HORRIBLE SOUND
Totally agree with Jenny Bee from BC. The sound was muddy and muddled. Way too much bass; the vocals and bass were one bloody mess. Way too loud. I could barely make out the songs. My ear plugs designed for music just reverberated the sound mess in my head and didn't help at all. And even regular ear plugs didn't decrease all that bass decibel. Most of the guitar sounds were buried by the deep bass vocals and keyboard. The lighting was cool but there was no use of spotlights or other lighting of the band--they were only lit in silhouette! Waste of $500 for 4th row center seats and a terrible initiation for my date who hadn't heard them before. Totally disappointed.

95 MINUTES? HARPISTS FAKING PLAYING MUSIC
I drove all the way to see Beach House from St. Louis, and was extremely disappointed that the band only played for 95 minutes after a terrible hour and a half delay where we were forced to listen to some poorly played “harp” music, where the harpist much of the time wasn’t even actually playing the harp!? Beach House themselves were pretty good, but Paul McCartney 80 years old plays for 3 hours per show. Beach House could only manage to play from 9:30 until 11:05 PM!? I was hugely disappointed, and the joke of a harp music player was a disaster. Sound quality was OK, but standing on a large flat floor with hundreds of other taller people right in front of us was very disappointing. It was one of the worst concerts I’ve ever experienced, and I’m 59 years old and have seen lots of concerts over the decades. I love Beach House music, but their effort was pretty abysmal. 95 minutes? Fake, weird harp player? And then another 60 minutes before BH came out and played mostly music from their latest album. Song selection was also disappointing.
Won’t ever go see a concert at this venue again and won’t ever go see Beach House again. What a shame.
Hurt from Vancouver, British Columbia
NOSE BLEEDS
No matter where you sit good music done well will sound great.
One star because some of the visuals were cool like the zoom-in on hands playing
music, checkered pattern, water-like ripples but overall the sound was terrible. The
highs and lows were blown out and flattened with a loudness I would never waste time
on had it not been for ear plugs. The bright bands of light behind the band was blinding.
We left before it was over.
Chris from Seattle, Washington
WORST CONCERT EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE
Horrible sound, horrible lighting and constant feedback. The lighting basically was shining on the crowd, never really saw the band. constant screeching feedback. This was the worst concert I have been to, ever. We left 45 minutes into the show and I could see we were not the only ones to leave. Also, the opener, WTF. It basically was a slide show from a pissed off dude? The whole experience was a waste of time. Too bad, because Beach House albums have always been good.
Cathleen from Seattle, Washington
OUCH
Louder does not mean better. My organs in my stomach shook; ears ached with pain. Thought it may be because we were on the balcony but after moving around and even going into the lobby, we soon realized it was just the shear loudness and over-bass. Whats the point of going to a concert when you can barely make out what song they're playing because of how awful the sound quality was??
So disappointed; need a break from listening to beach house for awhile.
