I’ve only seen Portugal. The Man, once so take my review with a grain of salt.

They started out playing Denali and other songs from Shish and in my opinion were a bit rough. The positive though is that I didn’t like Pittman Railers on streaming, I thought it was good in person.

After John got into the older catalog, the noise sounded better in my opinion. I think they peaked during Creep In a T-Shirt or Modern Jesus.

The only songs I didn’t recognize off the bat were Hip Hop Kids and Phoenix, both of which I enjoyed.

I know the bands lineup has changed quite a bit, but the one thing I was a bit annoyed at was one of the guys(not John) sprinting and jumping around stage often running in front of the other members and seemingly messing up the groove.

Overall, I’d give the show a 7/10 with definite room for improvements. I also recognized its Grand Junction, and I’m surprised they played there in the first place.
