Anxiously awaiting reviews from DC show goers. Really hoping the Coachella fiasco was an outlier and not the norm for his live shows.

On my way home from the DC show and I thought it was good. Could have been better but it wasn't bad. The crowd was live and there was a great mix of females from black, white, Africans, college, professional, trash and a gang of Ethopians lol. The females were the price of admission.
What I think would have made the show better:
If on certain songs (mostly wicked games) if he would have told the crowd "let me handle this and just vibe out to MY vocals"
If he would have sung all of DD.
As stated before his voice is soft.
Had a live DJ spin some songs while everyone packed into the place. The doors opened at 7 but the show didn't start until 930.
The show was only an hour, he should of done at least an hour and a half.
Some positives
Patrick's solo
The vibe of the crowd. The crowd sung every word but it made the show more interesting and intimate (if you sang too).
The females
His voice when you could really hear him.
All in all I would say I enjoyer the show and I can't wait to go another show later on to see his progress.
If you decide to go to his show you might as well sing along and have fun.

^I feel you. It definitely went better than expected than when I watched the video on the last page before I left my house for the show. The crowd was definitely a huge mix of people almost like Watch The Throne at Verizon Center. I had a blast though. He sounded great the times you could hear him... the live band was on point, too. Def worth $40. On the slower songs, the crowd died down a bit and you could hear him sing.. but on the really popular songs like The Morning, The Knowing, Loft Music, Wicked Games... it's hard not to sing along. I despised people who sang along, but I couldn't help myself with Wicked Games, Loft Music, and The Morning. Def a good time.
I really dug Trust Issues though... that was a huge surprise.

Just got back from the DC show. Had a great time. I was really nervous because of how annoying the crowd singing along seems to be in the video. But once you're there it almost added to the vibe of the night. And like previously stated he really needs his mic turned up; the combination of the crowd and the volume of the drums drowned him out for like 25-30% of the show.

pretty sure they were discussing webcasts, and i'm pretty sure Weekend 2 wasn't webcast. soooooo.
"deaf person"??? you @*$%!@+ kidding me? that Frank Ocean W1 performance was a god damn JOKE. NOBODY i talked to thought FO was better, and i STILL haven't seen anyone on message boards or twitter say Frank Ocean was better. He got a new band for Week 2, so obviously things were different. but there's NO way anyone can convince me Frank Ocean was better than The Weeknd W1.
must be a lot of deaf people...

At the same time I'm sure those bands are part of ASCAP or BMI and either one of them handle the legal issues dealing with the covers.
If I'm not mistaken cover songs are treated differently than samples.
For example when you use a sample you are creating something completely original that contains someone else's work. A cover can be seen as no different than you singing along with a song on the radio.

They only had a problem with frank playing that song because he basically ripped the whole rhythm and just changed the words.
nothing to do with the actual "sample"

Do all of your tickets for tomorrow resemble the one in the photograph below?
I purchased 2 off craiglist and the guy was a little shady. My tixs say "General Adm" instead of Gen Admission. My tix also say "No Cameras or Recorders" in the middle below "The Weeknd"

I went to the Boston show tonight and I completely agree with almost everything you said. If you want to hear him hit every note and word flawlessly, you might as well listen to your ipod. If you want to sing along with a bunch of Weeknd fans and see the guy in person, I definitely recommend the show.
I had a %$#@#@#$ blast in Boston today. The set was basically (or exactly) the same as the Coachella set, which was great in my mind. Lots of House of Balloons. D.D. Outside. Started off with High for This, ended with Wicked Games - as he always should. I had so much fun.

Was it the same deal where doors open at 7 but he doesn't take the stage till 9:30? I'm really not looking forward to standing around for 2:30 hours.

We had to wait a bit in there but not that long. It wasn't that bad because I was in the balcony with my friends, so we were lounging VIP style. It might be different for other shows though - the Boston Royale is a night club that strictly makes their concert end at like 10 so they can open up the club. It started at like 7:30ish and it was done by 9 roughly.

Thanks man.
If anyone in Philly is going, I'll be there in an Ali/Frazier shirt and Jordan 1's.
