Mitch, jet-lag + 2 Red Bulls = EPIC
Avi blows the speakers and then there is the "Mitch Show"!
That "drum roll" was an Avi bass drop that the mic couldn't handle. When they did this concert everyone was suffering from a 7 hour jet lag that had Mitch completely exhausted and hyper at the same time.
You: I know I'm ready [for Mitch] Me: Umm, no, no you're not.
I also love Mitch’s smile when he’s finished. Just before the camera switches off. 😅😅❤❤
Avi regularly does that to microphones. THEY CAN'T HANDLE HIS AWESOME.
I'm not sure there is a better recording... Avi blew the speakers!
Best Mitch slap ever. But let's not overlook the fantastic job Kirstie and Scott are doing.
This is Mitch: The Prayer
This is Mitch with jet lag on 2 Red Bulls: Aha! at the Star Vista in Singapore
I think what is crazyier about this performance than Mitch's insane vocals is that there is seemingly only this one video from thatvconcert that has yet to be found online. Whether there are people whonrecorded it but for whatever reason decided to keep it to themselves, or they didn't think the audionquality was good enough, we willnlikely never know, but the person who uploaded this did the world a big favour because we needed this performance. It wasn't the only time they did it,and as others have said, they stillndo it with Matt's bass, but there has never been a performance quite like this one where Mitch just becomes otherworldly thanks to red bull and jet lag. It is so sad that the audio is as it is, but it seems to be more down to Avi having partially destroyed the speaker system because some of their recordings ofnthis concert prior to this don't have as bad a distortion.
There is a studio version of AHA! With an official vid, it was done for spooky season, I believe. It isn't on a level with this live performance, it it was still pretty great and a fun vid with it lol.
If you want another impressive Mitch display, without the audio issues, check out their cover of Gold.
Best reaction ever to this song. From Avi blowing speakers to Mitch soaring with the Angels...this performance was out of this world.
So glad you did this! This video is subtitled "Where's Kevin" because almost every reactor asks that early on. The reason for the opening choral piece was that Kevin was playing cello in the prior song, Papaoutai, and needed a couple minutes to put it away. During Avi's solo, you see Mitch move to center stage, Scott followed and Kevin came onstage next to Scott. It's a true shame that the recorder never showed the whole stage after Mitch got started. All those crazy beats and rattles and whooshes are Kevin going crazy. The opening piece was suggested by Avi, who had sung it with a prior group. The Trio had also sung in various choral groups before so it was easy for them pick up. Some will say that Avi broke the sound system, but I've heard other recordings from this same concert and the speakers were fine. It's just that, as you suggested, the phone mic couldn't take Avi and Kevin's abuse.
By the way, the opening piece is "Christus Factus Est" by Anton Bruckner. Here is a link to a wonderful cover of it by the Bristol Cathedral Choir: czcams.com/video/i6fAT3iGRWc/video.html
You're right, this is definitely Mitch's show off song with Avi out there abusing the speakers. I would love to see you react to Avi's solo Change on the Rise.
There is a music video for this one, but it lacks the emotion of the live performance.
The story behind Mitch’s performance here is: to combat jet lag, Mitch drank 2 Red Bulls before this show… 😂
They still do this in concert, I saw them perform it three weeks ago, and Mitch always kills it, but there will always be something about this particular performance. In fact, Mitch in every video from this particular concert makes my brain turn to mush. So anything from Singapore Star Vista 2016. This is one of my favorite things to see reactions to, and you did not disappoint. I think the word you were looking for at the beginning was simply choral. I don’t think they ever professionally recorded that, but you might want to check out “Light in the Hallway,” a beautiful original PTX song composed primarily by Scott, for his nephew I believe, but Scott asked Avi to sing lead on it. It’s quite beautiful and relaxing.
Yes - I was going to suggest Light in the Hallway for him to put on his list of things to listen to at night. It helped me fall asleep many times. It's like Avi is singing you a lullaby - what more can you ask for?
They played this when they toured Australia
Did you see the backstage video from this tour stop of him and Scott running around with the electric fly gun? Hilarious! Mitch is being the damsel in distress: "Honey, I'm afraid the flies will get us!"
Agreed, I have seen a few of the other recordings that the person who uploaded this one also uploaded...they are all awesome. What is interesting is you can also kinda tell when the speaker system suffered some kind of damage from Avi's bass.
Although the audio isn't great I consider us very lucky that we even have this...the odds of someone happening to record it and the visuals are very good so you can see his expressions and everything. I was always worried about it getting taken down if the person closed their channel down but luckily so many people have reacted to it it will live forever on CZcams
Scott and Kirstin doing all the syncopated background parts, with Kevin just going off, is hard to do in a studio environment where you can do it over and adjust things electronically in mixing. The difficulty of doing this live is about a 20 on a scale of 1 to 10. Crowd noise, sound delays (just a fact with sound traveling through cords and wi-fi) the adrenaline of being in front of a crowd, and anything else that can happen live, this is a whole other level talent and discipline. If any of them get off track or off beat doing this song it could turn into a train wreck in a hurry. I don't think there are too many people, outside of these special five, that could do this and do it that well.
The beginning is a choral setting of the Latin motet "Christus Factus Est" by 19th century classical composer Anton Bruckner. Not gospel but classical sacred choral music in church Latin. I don't know of any recording by Pentatonix but you'll find recordings by classical choirs. Bruckner wrote three settings; this is the third and most popular. Here Pentatonix only sings one minute of the five minute piece. Avi sang the piece in college and loved it. Translation: "Christ became obedient for us unto death". I have sung a LOT of sacred choral music so if you want any recommendations let me know.
Red Bull and jet lag = Singapore Mitch, while Avi blows the auditorium speakers & microphone! It all equals the best show EVER! 🤗😍❤️
And Scott & Kirstie syncopated in the background hold it all together!
BTW - Did you catch Avi's overtones and throat singing while singing bass at the same time? Yeah. He's just that good. 😊
Two things: The piece they do in the beginning is the motet (German: Motette) "Christus factus est" by Anton Bruckner. As far as I know, Kaplan arranged this for the four of them. You can see another version of this and "Aha!" here: czcams.com/video/bAZkLqnrryk/video.html - The sound quality is much better, and while Mitch doesn't go as wild as here, his performance has the same vocal intensity. I also like the following cover with a nice duet between Kevin and Avi.
The first part of this is a Latin choral piece, can't remember the name of it. They did it as a filter before Aha! Because Kevin had just been playing his cello and was putting it away backstage. Mitch was reportedly high on Red Bulls because of jet lag. The entire concert was on fire, but you rarely see anyone reacting to the rest of the concert.
There is an official recording of this, and although good, this one was definitely special. The official one is very fun and worth watching as well.
The choral piece is called "Christus Factus Est". Avi sang it with a prior group.
Tee hee, I love initial reactions to Mitch in this performance, with his inspired vocals and delightful personality. He definitely makes the bad audio worth it. Glad you loved it too. Peace …
When you said "I am ready for that" in my head was immediately "Nope, you are not. You just don't know it - but believe me. You are not"🤣
Kevin was putting away his cello (Beyonce) during the classic start, but was there for Aha! The person taking the video just focused on Mitch. You can clearly here Kevin's beatboxing during Aha!
It's amazing how they have mastered this song. Their live version is just as good or even better than the studio version🤯
Pentatonix Hollywood Bowl 2022 has great live recordings of many of PTX’s best songs including Daft Punk
Avi's incredible opening was Christus Factus Est
Avi was an opera/classical voice major at Mount San Antonio College in California prior to PTX, and had been offered a position as a bass/basso profundo with the Los Angeles Opera when he was approached to join PTX. He was in 3 different vocal groups at MtSAC, including a chamber choir, which is where he learned "Christus Factus Est" and obviously it stuck with him. Here's an actual video of his chamber choir performing it. Avi is in the back row, with lots of hair and a beard. He was about 20 at the time. czcams.com/video/BIn-wM5sVM0/video.html
Adam Lambert’s fronted for Queen. PTX has a cover of Bohemian rhapsody. He has also covered Cher’s Believe and PTX covers part of it on their 90’s dance medley.
I just watched them perform this in concert about three hours ago. Phenomenal of course. Matt did quite well on the bass in place of Avi.
I always find it hilarious as reactors are amazed and astounded already before the count down lol. And then Mitch really turns it up lol. Edit to add he was like you love that hold my beer lol
There is a couple live versions - look at “Aha” Pentatonix live stream at the Hollywood Bowl 2022
That’s a good one. I usually watch that one over the music video version now.
Recommend their cover of Come Along.
If you like Mitchs voice may I recommend "Can you feel the love tonight" as he is beyond amazing in it. The recorded version of AHA is good but doesn't have the crazy 2 red bull Mitch that you get in this one...lol. Another song I'd recommend from them is "The Prayer" for another amazing Mitch hit. The drumroll was Avi...lol. I think one of the best ones for Avi is his song "Change on the rise" He's doing his own thing now and you can truly see what he's capable of. Just found you and love your videos, subbed.
Yes Avi's music is amazing!!!
I'm just so proud of Mitch in this performance. He is delightful
And Avi's bass did blow out one of the venue's speakers
The roll down as you called it was Kevin. He’s there. 🙏❤️🇬🇧
they did a video of aha
I love the video - totally campy. Reactors rarely react to it.
I believe you're trying to describe Gregorian Chants around the 2:00 mark. My wife listens to them to meditate and pray.
Saw them live, they performed AHA, it was incredible.
This is my favorite Mitch/PTX video ~~ Great reaction, Thanks!!!
If you weren't thinking about Gregorian Chants or sacred choral music, maybe it was Madrigal music. I really wish there was a recorded version of the prelude to this. Might I suggest the studio version of Avi Kaplan's "Full Moon" to help you sleep? For me, his acoustic version of that song (Live at CZcams Space LA) helps me to peacefully center and fall asleep (even though it is just him and a guitar). The studio version is full of interweaving, layered harmonies (all Avi).
Thank you mentioning Gregorian chanting. It was extremely irritating to not be able to remember! I used to go every Sunday evening to the Compline service at St. Mark's Cathedral in Seattle and it was (and still is, I'm sure) incredible.
Mitch was having jet lag this is him on 2 red bulls...lol
You are soo adorable …thank you!
They are still performing this live as part of the current tour. I saw it just over a week ago! I think someone already gave you the link for the official video. If you want a well-recorded live version, there's the Hollywood Bowl performance recording from fall 2022 here: czcams.com/video/DHwF54IL2Ys/video.html. It doesn't include the Christus Factus Est piece, which as others have said was used as a bridge to allow Kevin to get his cello put away and join the performance here in what you watched.
As Avi was the one who brought "Christus Factus Est" to the group, they stopped using it as an opener for "Aha!" once he left. They tried using "Greensleeves" at one point, but that definitely did not work.
I'm so sad that I missed this one when it came out! Jet-lagged Mitch on extra Red Bull is something I think we all need to see at least once in our life so we can cherish the sheer joy of it! I've fallen so behind with my new work schedule, health issues, my boy's health issues, and my boy being back in school (but finally no more wildfires!). So sorry I don't drop in as regularly, DJ, I do still watch all of your videos and I have sent dozens of people your way (they better have shown up!! 🤨), and you're in my thoughts more often than you'd think. I love checking in and seeing how much the channel has grown, you're an incredible, amazing, compassionate, and beautiful soul who deserves the absolute best in life. ❤ Much love to you, darling, I will try to do better at checking in. 🤞🏻
Official music video of this song: czcams.com/video/qxY9qkfZMI8/video.html. While there are several live versions of Dance of the Sugarplum Faeries, they are short and weirdly recorded. The best alternative might be to string a couple together, or, as an alternative alternative, try Carole of the Bells.
There’s several videos on this song aha❤
H'ween is coming - give a watch to their official video of this song; our five give a thoroughly entertaining Rob Zombie performance! Happy Trick 'r Treat!
Avi damaged the speaker with his low note earlier.
Mitch + 2 Red Bulls = this
I totally agree they should do the song from Fifth Element. Anyone want to start a petition ?? They probably would be the only ones who could do it real justice, and I think it's right up their alley. There are two songs I recommend you should check out. First "Gold" BUT watch part of the original by Kiiara. Second, " Come Along" and again watch the original by Cosmo Sheldrake. Notice the differences and the up-grade that PTX does. Enjoy !!!!!
I think Gregorian Chant is the term you were looking for at the beginning of the video.
Great reaction my friend….I stumbled onto your channel by accident. So nice to see another reactor love 💕 PTX as much as the rest of us……you are a true Pentaholic fan……….Judy D
Mitch was jet lagged and they had to perform almost immediately, so instead of his usual one Red Bull he drank two Red Bulls. Mitch should never drink more than one Red Bull. Anyway, apparently all the caffeine and sugar hit about the time "Aha" began, and the rest is history.
PTX Never, never ever disappoint. Also, they don’t do covers. They totally do Upgrades. 😅❤🇬🇧🤷♀️🙏❤️🇬🇧
That 'drum roll' sound was actually the speakers not keeping up with Avi's super low note. There's a couple of other really small moments of this fluttering bass sound. He's blown out speakers before and promoters learned to make sure venues had good ones. These almost didn't make it. 😆
If you want to hear the very best thing to come out of Mitch Grassi's mouth listen to him do "Your Power" from a rooftop. czcams.com/video/0mSMqkBArxk/video.html Proof that he's not really human. (I think he's one of the Fey from the hollow hills.)
This performance is also known as as ‘where’s Kevin’. Kevin was putting his chello away so isn’t seen in the video. He returns when AVI did those low notes. AVI blew up the speakers with those last notes so the rest of the performance the sound is a little distorted. AVI did that growl. 😊
You should take a look at the Season 9 of the Masked Singer, the unmasked version of The California Roll (a type of sushi.) Mitch and the rest of the group do a stunning version of Radiohead's Creep that will blow your mind. And you won't guess who the California Roll really is! Wait. Of course you'll know immediately. Because no other group in the world sounds like Pentatonix! Also because I just told you that Mitch is there. Keeping secrets is not my strong suit. Or my strong sushi, as auto spell just tried to make me write.
Excellent reaction! Not too over the top but genuine appreciation for their skills.
I just left their concert in Irvine, Ca, and it was a great time. I loved every min and didn't want it to end. I was at the Hollywood Bowl last year, and you can find a good recording for their Daft punk.
You should check out their tribute to Star Wars live at the AMA 2015 and another part of the Singapore concert is them performing Telephone. The audio is bad, Avi busted the speaker on the AHA part but believe me it's so worth it.
I want to hear that also!!!!!!!!!
I love love love your reactions to PTX. THANK YOU for your enthusiastic reaction. Keep 'em coming! He used to Red Bull before a concert. Not sure if he still does. I heard him sing this during their summer tour. The audience clapped during that high note this summer as well. They changed the opening since Avi is no longer with them.
Check out Pentatonix singing the star wars theme song, live with an orchestra!
I believe the 1st song is in Gregorian Chant which was performed during the 16th Century. Possibly earlier or later. It’s how choirs and choral groups sung before symphonic music was discovered to pair well with their voices.
But, I could be Completely Wrong! If so, someone please correct me.
I’ll tell you something love. They’ve just finished a massive tour. What’s a-shame, is some of the venues, I personally think let them down with there sound equipment!!!!!!! But, there’s lots of live videos on line. Have fun. BUT don’t forget Mitch’s own song. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’d love to see them do a collaboration with Adam Lambert. That would be awesome!
Listen to Dimash doing the Diva Dance.
Mitch had 2 redbulls 😂😂
FYI one of those high notes is actually Scott
I wish I could find it and send it to you. There is a video of this same performance with better audio and the person shows more of each singer...if I every find it again I will let you know lol :)
they do have a live of this
Yes, there is an official video of Aha, except the proper name is "Aha!" and it doesn't begin witth a choral piece. You can find it here: czcams.com/video/qxY9qkfZMI8/video.htmlsi=pnykEjCbcapBahsD
"Aha!" is a very strange song; it seems foreboding but it isn't clear why. The lyrics don't make much sense. So when Pentatonix covered it they provided an official video that was intended to make sense of it. Then they made sure Avi did lots of overtone singing to emphasize the eerie feelings and totally hammed it up in the video. And be sure to watch all the way to the outro; the video isn't over when the singing ends.
Also just pointjng out, Avi had blown the speaker in the previous song 😂
Yeah later on Mitch said he was feeling jetlagged when the show was starting, so he downed 2 Red Bulls, which proceeded to hit the fullest a bit before this song.
Can recommend the Tallis Scholars or Voces 8 for the Gregorian chant music that will help with sleep.
Technically it is "classical" music, in particular Bruckner at least at the beginning. It then morphs into just plain modern vocal music.
There is a music video of “Aha”. They’re zombies. 🌺
Thats Mitch on 3 Redbulls and jetlag
I have this version on my audio playlist but without all the distortion
Official Video] Aha! - Pentatonix (Imogen Heap Cover) 12 years ago. On CZcams
You should react to mitch doing carol of the bells.
There is an official video of this song.
if you want to see the 5th element song, go check "vitas"
If you want to listen to something that will relax you I would suggest Light in the Hallway, it is an original lullaby written by Scott and Avi has the lead.
My Heart with You is also another good one to relax too. This is a remake or upgrade. It also inspired their original Run to You which is not a relaxing song to me.
You should see Dimash do the Diva Dance from Fifth Element!
There’s a video of this song. You’ll find it. 😂😂😂😂❤
I haven't seen a studio version.
Light in the hallway by ptx.
It is like a Gregorian chant.
Called chamber choir
their is a actual video that they did and you should watch their video of the evolution of music
Please please watch Superfruit doing Defying Gravity
You want to hear a guy sing the diva song??? Try Dimash Quidabergen, as he can replicate that song note for note, and this song Wasn’t written for the human voice.
I think you may have been looking for the term Gregorian Chants?
you should react to dimash
E 1...
I dont think Adam Lambert wants a vocal butt kicking from Mitch? Yes Adam Lambert is incredible but Mitch is a musical alien.
Ok love. Find Mitch singing the Billy Eilish song. On his own. A Flipping Amazing. Find it love. You’ll not regret it. Trust me on that. ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Gregorian chant??
