13459988, Silk Sonic’s Vegas residency is the best live show I’ve seen in years. Posted by Ryan M, Sun May-08-22 12:19 PM
I mean - it’s not hyperbole, because I’ve probably seen like…I dunno, 5-6 concerts since 2020, ha.
But really - it’s an INCREDIBLE live show. Those two compliment each other so insanely well- and it’s great that it’s a true collaboration. Just like the album, they each take turns being the lead. Insane production too - they really turned the Dolby at the Park MGM into a full on party vibe. Phones locked up in Yondr cases which totally added to the experience.
Just an amazing experience. Pricey, but worth it to see this show in a theater rather than the arenas I assume they’ll have to do if they do a proper tour. They played the full album along with a few solo songs each. I’d seen Bruno live before but hadn’t seen Anderson…and I really have a hard time even saying who was better.
Definitely one of those live shows that makes you appreciate the album even more. Haven’t had that much fun at a show since probably the Kanye Pablo tour (before it went off the rails, ha)

13459991, I’m not sure what made you hate joy - but I hope I never succumb to that. Posted by Ryan M, Sun May-08-22 12:49 PM

13459994, Go sit your ass down somewhere with this..... Posted by blueeclipse, Sun May-08-22 02:32 PM
This is haterism on a whole other level. Let that man be. He's a great entertainer.
I'm tired of people trying to check everyone's culture "credentials". That shit is getting played out and it's not like were talking about Vanilla Ice here.

13459998, you are turning into that guy Posted by legsdiamond, Sun May-08-22 05:33 PM

13460000, I said what I said, you either don't know, don't care, or its not... Posted by ThaTruth, Sun May-08-22 07:47 PM
relevant to you.
People are entitled to their opinions especially when it comes to music.
A lot of people on here still stan for Kanye and I don't fuck with him either.

13460005, You’re entitled to your opinion. Posted by Ryan M, Sun May-08-22 08:47 PM
But adding it here? Frivolous and weird hater behavior. Just keep it moving.

13460007, you're ofended because I didn't clap to your post? Posted by ThaTruth, Sun May-08-22 08:51 PM
>But adding it here? Frivolous and weird hater behavior. Just >keep it moving.
That's not how it works player.
This is mainly over your head anyway.

13460016, Nobody’s “offended”. Posted by Ryan M, Mon May-09-22 07:17 AM
But your replies have added literally nothing.
Anyway.
Keep it up, chief.

13459997, I would love to see them Posted by makaveli, Sun May-08-22 05:25 PM
Saw Anderson a few years back, he’s a great live performer.
|
13460034, I saw Anderson at Madison Square Garden Posted by luminous, Mon May-09-22 09:38 AM
and it was a fun show.
|
13460075, how did you feel about the album? Posted by mista k5, Mon May-09-22 01:20 PM
i enjoyed it but didnt love it. i can see it hitting better live.
i definitely wanna see pak and if they came to town id consider it. i dont know if id travel to see them.
|
13460078, I really dug the album. Posted by Ryan M, Mon May-09-22 01:35 PM
It wasn't ALL hitting, but what was good was very good. I'm not sure if I saw it having real staying power, but I dug it out of the gate. With that said - I've listened to it again a bunch post show and I definitely have a greater appreciation for it now, for sure.
Love's Train, Put on a Smile, and the intro were all solid - but those were the ones I'd usually just sorta skip through for the other tracks on the album.

13460198, Whatever happens in vegas stays in vegas Posted by The3rdOne, Wed May-11-22 11:24 AM
The phone lock bag song they came up with...smh lol
Highlight of the show for me was them doing a medley mix of "Am I Wrong and Treasure" with them playing for each other.
10/10 live show for me.
|
13466809, I saw it again tonight and I stand by all of this. Posted by Ryan M, Fri Aug-19-22 04:41 AM
10/10 must see. I hope they do the festival circuit or a proper tour in ‘23 cause if you dig this album - it’s an absolute can’t miss type show.
Anderson Paak really brought a new side out of Bruno and that shit is FUN.

13466817, Saw it a couple weeks ago - hard agree! Posted by cp900, Fri Aug-19-22 07:54 AM
