I miss PTX with Avi. Matt is amazing but there is something about the emotion behind Avi's notes. Matt has this moment in sound of silence that makes me love him but Avi has those moments constantly.
The “quintessential” PTX live performance is a fan-cam video of them singing Aha! in Singapore at the Star Vista. Here is the link th-cam.com/video/aT2Nm4fYmI4/w-d-xo.html Avi blows the speakers and Mitch raises the roof! Love your reactions! Yes! More PTX please!
There's a good live version of this song from the Arsenio Hall show. It's neat to see the difference between the studio recorded version and the live sound. It's still great, but you can tell the difference.
Just this last week Scott said on a podcast that they almost scraped this video bc they didn't think it was good enough. They revisited it weeks later and decided to put up even though they didn't think it was up to their standards. Thank God they did!!
Saw that podcast. I was flabbergasted that they thought this wasn't good enough to release. LDB was never one of my favorite holiday songs, but they made me love it with this version.
There is a live version of HALALUIJH on a TV Christmas special that is remarkable because you realize that they sound JUST as good live as they do in a video! 🙂 KEEP THEM COMING!
“Aha! Live - Singapore The Star Vista” Also known as the “where is Kevin” video. When the video starts, Kevin is putting his cello away. The person recording never pans to him when he returns, but you can definitely hear him! This is a must see Pentatonix live performance
Cracked and I ain't misbehavin', both sung at the Honda theater. Also Sound of Silence live. There are many more, but those will give you a good idea of on-stage live. They also have a Star Wars medley for the introduction of the newest trilogy
Not sure what you have already reacted to but some reccomendations: La La Latch (cover), Say Something (cover), Love Again (original), Can't Sleep Love (original). For live performances the Pop Spring 2016 concert has the best audio and you get to see them perform 4 songs (3 originals, and one evolution).
I think a lot of the reason their covers are so much better than the originals is the purity of their voices and the ability to understand the words. There are song I have 'sung' for which I have butchered the lyrics simply because I couldn't understand the words when sung. Add that to their gifted arrangements and individual talents, you have a winning group.
If you want to see them performing live. Check out their return to the "Sing-Off". They have 3 performances there. Also a great live performance is a Christmas performance on the TV show America's got talent.
Pentatonix does seem to have a habit of putting out the best version of almost everything they sing. Quite the burden they carry, being this talented :)
If you want some really cool raw performances check out their Daft Punk green room or Valentine. They performed for fans. Also, you should check out Can You Feel The Love Tonight, Cheerleader & Twelve Days of Christmas.
Aha Singapore live at the Star Vista Is the best ever!!! Hallelujah live special that was on tv. I agree with you, I think they could make any song they sing better than the original. They are an amazing talent!!!!
I absoulty love Pentatonix and would love more reactions. Since you like the little Drummer boy song please react to "For KING & COUNTRY Little Drummer Boy Live from CMA Country Christmas. I thin you will like this version as well.
I love Pentatonix! Have you reacted to their cover of The Sound of Music or the song they released late last year, "Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)"? Two of my absolute favorites by them. I didn't know you reacted to them. I'll have to go see if I can't find your other PTX reactions. Most of the reactions that I watch are to either BTS or their juniors, TXT. Pentatonix is the only other group that I will actively search for reactions to. I've been impressed by them ever since they were on The Sing Off. They really are incredible.
@@sarahliles3306 That's actually not the song that I meant, but thank you for pointing out that I had the title wrong. The song that I meant was "The Sound of Silence". Pentatonix does the best cover of that song that I've ever heard.
The fine bros I think is their name brought ptx in to watch their Christmas video and Scott and Kevin said they were supposed to be in front of a waterfall bit they couldn't find it. They were carrying a generator so they just decided to do it there. I think that location is perfect!! Great reaction
There's another version that's equally awesome.... React to for King and Country, Little Drummer Boy from the CMAs. As a drummer, I guarantee you'll be blown away.
Two of my favourites for christmas songs you can play all year are, Joy to the world, and White Winter Hymnal both by ptx, gorgeously done;), i enjoy all your reactions to ptx, thank you
One of the other Pentaholics once quipped "Pentatonix doesn't cover songs - they UPGRADE them." The group has been based in LA since they went pro, so you could be right about the location. ETA: There are some great suggestions below for more. Some reactors have stepped through the entire Sing-Off. The highlights would seem to be Performance # 7 - "Born to Be Wild," #10 - "Let's Get It On," #11 - mashup of "Forget You"/"Since U Been Gone," and #12 - Judges' Choice: "Dog Days Are Over."
IF you are going to do live, go to the Sing-Off and react to Marvin Gaye's "Let's Get it On". They left Shawn, from Boyz to Men, amazed. In my opinion, it's the best live performance they have ever done.
I've said before that this song and also "12 Days of Christmas" are songs that I just don't like to listen to at holiday time. They're just so blah and mundane and repetitive and did I mention blah? Until Pentatonix took them over. Not only are they the best versions I've heard, they are the only versions of those 2 songs I will listen to. They are playlist songs for me now. It's interesting how a group can arrange and perform things so differently that it resonates so well and is just ear candy. Really enjoying your reactions. Keep 'em coming, sir!
Yes, they really nailed this one! And this was one of the earliest videos to feature Kevin singing. Aha Live at the Star Vista in Singapore is generally considered their best live performance, but word of warning, it's a fan video recorded on a phone, so the quality isn't the best. Their live performance at Popspring is one of the best for quality. They also have numerous TV appearances, but the audio mixing on those is sometimes shaky.
This wasn't filmed in Laural Canyon. I thought it might be the Hollywood Hills, but that's probably not right either. Would LOVE for you to finish reacting to their "The Sing Off" performances. The judges are 1. Sara Bareilles-the playwrite to the Broadway hit, "Waitress". 2. Ben Folds-Song writer, musician, singer, music industry legend. 3. Shawn Stockman - member of "Boys to Men". It will also be a good way for you to learn their names. Please play all the way to the end so you don't miss the band members commenting on the judge's comments. Same goes for any Super Fruit video reactions you do. They normally have some bloopers after their "Subscribe" screen. Please know that if Pentaholics recommend you react to "Aha - Singapore-Star Vista" that means they think you are ready. We never recommend it to anyone new to PTX.
Aha! at the Star Vista th-cam.com/video/aT2Nm4fYmI4/w-d-xo.html Mitch is absolutely insane on this. And even though you don't see him, Kevin is there during the actual song.
What you need to do is a triple header reaction to "Daft Punk" official th-cam.com/video/57YEAEKKcOk/w-d-xo.html, "Daft Punk" live th-cam.com/video/vz4CFeWBiEQ/w-d-xo.html and "Daft Punk" VIP th-cam.com/video/tw4YCsHXKgI/w-d-xo.html

Carol of the Bells th-cam.com/video/WSUFzC6_fp8/w-d-xo.html is phenomenal (and so are you). And their version of "Mary Did you Know" is also the best you will hear, I'll bet: th-cam.com/video/ifCWN5pJGIE/w-d-xo.html
Want more Pentatonix?... Like, subscribe and comment below, and we will get them back on the show! Let's roll!
My personal opinion, Avi Kaplan has the greatest sounding bass out there.
Others can hit the notes, but Avi's resonance cannot be matched.
Agreed. Plus his ability to produce overtones added to so many of PTX songs when Avi was with them.
Amen to that....Avi is a gift...
I miss PTX with Avi. Matt is amazing but there is something about the emotion behind Avi's notes. Matt has this moment in sound of silence that makes me love him but Avi has those moments constantly.

What?! 😱
There is a live version of HALALUIJH on a TV Christmas special that is remarkable because you realize that they sound JUST as good live as they do in a video! 🙂
KEEP THEM COMING!
Avi, Tim and Geoff can make elevator music get nominated for multiple Grammys. Real life superpowers.
And Avi & Tim can sing so many octaves that they could be a group on their own! 💖
“Aha! Live - Singapore The Star Vista”
Also known as the “where is Kevin” video. When the video starts, Kevin is putting his cello away. The person recording never pans to him when he returns, but you can definitely hear him!
This is a must see Pentatonix live performance
Prepare! 🤗👍💞
This was filmed at Griffith Observatory outside LA...in Griffith Park on the south-facing slope of Mount Hollywood.
All of Pentatonix Christmas stuff is amazing, they won a Grammy for Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy which has no lyrics to it.
OMG I love this song so much. This is an amazing group. Please react PENTATONIX "MARY DID YOU KNOW " one of my favorites. More Pentatonix please. 💜

The most amazing X-mas song by PTX is Come all ye faithful...you will never listen to that song the same. great reaction NJ
Pentatonix, the only reason to listen to Christmas songs in June 😂
If you want to see them performing live. Check out their return to the "Sing-Off". They have 3 performances there. Also a great live performance is a Christmas performance on the TV show America's got talent.
I totally agree this is the best version of this song....TCB
This version allowed me to actually listen to this song for the first time. As a Christian drummer it made me cry and still does.
They all live in LA so you are probably right! (Well except Avi who now lives in some forest in Tennessee).
Pentatonix does seem to have a habit of putting out the best version of almost everything they sing. Quite the burden they carry, being this talented :)

It is! Very good!
Hallelujah live.
Their 90’s Dance Medley is 🔥🔥🔥. If you’re looking for a live performance, check out their live version of Sound of Silence.

My Favorite Things is the song title you were recommending--it is originally from the movie The Sound of Music.

That was for the Carol of the Bells video, not this one.

The Evergreen making of; to see some of the processes. Popspring 2016 for a showcase of original music.
You should review one of their originals "Love Again." Also, their cover of "Amazing Grace" was phenominal.
Impresionantemente geniales ❤️ gracias NJ !! Saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷

Great reaction! You should check out one of their originals. One of my favorites is "Love Again". It is so creative!
You should check out Pentatonix Break My Heart and Dreams
Live God Rest ye merry gents. There are a couple live versions
Have you heard the Bing Crosby / David Bowie version?
If you haven't already reacted to it I'd recommend their original song Love Again. It's so good!

There are MANY live TH-cam videos. Try "Aha". Live.
Loved the reaction. It seemed more genuine and less over reactive. Pentaholics will respond better to genuine appreciation.
Aha! at the Star Vista th-cam.com/video/aT2Nm4fYmI4/w-d-xo.html Mitch is absolutely insane on this. And even though you don't see him, Kevin is there during the actual song.
For King and Country do a good Little Drummer Boy.
Yes Sir. "You are my boy and I am your girl " the song by Slank. It was played on some shows before. See you sooner
