I have seen them live three times, and I can tell you when Avi hits that crazy low note, I could feel it go right through my chest in the auditorium. I almost couldn't breathe. It was spectacular!
It was Avi's idea to open "Aha!" with "Christus Factus Est", a piece he had sung in college choir and that is a choir staple in general. There's even a video of him singing it with his college choir. And his solo there really showcases his opera training. As for the part where Mitch goes on all fours, the rumbling you hear is partially Shane Nicholls' phone not able to handle the frequency of Avi's voice without distorting, and, like someone mentioned, he blew out part of the venue speakers. They had that problem a lot with venues that didn't have adequate lows capabilities. I believe they ended up bringing some of their own speakers that could handle Avi, to supplement the venue's own.
Thats typically what Acapella groups with that bass capability do. I know Home Free brings in their own entire sound system (or at the very least subs) and patches into the existing PA
Also, that rumbling did sound like it could be a loose cone in the subs, as well as the phones distortion and amplifying the sounds of the blown subs. Not sure what it sounded like in person but shit, the Board Op must have freaked out... Although, It sounds stylistic enough that it could have been on purpose for this performance? Now im doubting myself
In case anyone wants to check out a 20 year old Avi in his college choir, here's the link to their "Christus Factus Est" I mentioned above - this is where he got the inspiration to start "Aha!" with the beginning of "Christus". You can't miss young Avi. He's the only one with dark shaggy hair and a beard, in the back row. He was majoring in Opera, but said goodbye to that when Ben Bram took notice of him and urged Scott to add him to PTX for The Sing Off, and he ended up saying hello to a whole new world. ua-cam.com/video/BIn-wM5sVM0/v-deo.html
"Do I have to buy tickets to a Pentatonix concert?" - take it from personal experience - YES! Yes, you do. They are amazing in person. Just have to wait for when it's ok for them to go back on tour...
Absolutely! When they can tour again you just have to go treat yourself to the experience of one of their live shows. If you think your mind is blown watching them on UA-cam you ain't seen NUTHIN' YET!!!#
Yeah, whenever some hater says they got auto tune or some bs I just link them to PTX doing live. Their private performances of Daft Punk medley and others always shuts those haters up. The singapore performance though was just ... well we heard it through a cell phone and it was just magnificent.
Jase experiencing the Kaplan effect: 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Jase experiencing Queen Mitch: 😲😲😲😱😱😱 Me: 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 You still doubt us Pentaholics? Jase, did we not teach you anything? We'll always lead you to the good stuff! Thank you for finally reacting to this one!
@@beverlykrebs4372 COSIGN, especially since that'll let you hear the incredible depths/heights they nail without the cell phone audio filter. C'mon, Jase. Horror movie visual tribute + full audio suite = maaaaaximum mind blowage.
Oh! "Cosign" is basically "I agree with everything the previous commenter just said," like I'm signing on to their prior action/statement. Nothing techy to it!
1. NO ONE is ever ready for them... 2. YES, you must see them live at least one time (I've only got three live shows under my belt and they were all EPIC) 3. That noise was Avi, being Avi. 4. As always great reaction!! Rock on!!
The ultimate Mitch showcase! Not just for showing off his high notes, but the exquisite control he has throughout his range. All of those runs were precise and perfect. I also love the arrangement of the background vocals-so intricate. BTW, the original Imogen Heap song is terrific. I first heard it about six years before PTX covered it when it was used for a group number in So You Think You Can Dance: ua-cam.com/video/QnREi2y_V10/v-deo.html I ended up finding the album it was on in my library and downloaded it to my iTunes-the whole album is great!
Kevin was putting his cello away at the beginning of this song and came in as Avi started the song, the others moved up. The person filming didn’t zoom out far enough to show Kevin. I think maybe you should react to Pentatonix live at pop springs 2016, they did a few songs live in that one
“Not sure why everyone requests this more than any other song.” “Oh. Ok. I get it.” - blink. Stare. Consider. “Yeah” It takes words from you, this version.

It's super user-friendly, I promise. (Not sponsored, I'm just a gamer.) Enjoy!
The thing I love about Pentatonix is just how damned good every member in the group is. Not a single one of them is "coasting" on the talent of the others. They are each phenomenal.
Having seen Pentatonix multiple times in concert (my daughter was even brought up on stage by Avi once) as well as seeing Avi live since leaving PTX, I can assure you that they rock as hard, if not harder, than any other concerts I have attended. This includes Aerosmith w/ Run DMC, Dave Matthews Band, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, who all were standouts throughout the years. I would choose PTX or Avi every single time.
So, here's why this video should be sub-titled "Kevin is There!" At the beginning, there is a big space between Kirstie and Mitch. In the prior song, Kevin was sitting there with his cello. He went offstage to put it away, and they start the choral piece. During Avi's bass solo, Mitch moved to center stage, Scott followed him and Kevin came onstage at the far right. Unfortunately, the person making this otherwise incredible video never backs up to show the whole stage after Mitch starts singing. But he is there, and all those insane beats and whooshes and rattles are Kevin!
YES, YOU TOTALLY BUY A TICKET FOR A PTX CONCERT!!! We went to one shortly before Avi left and it was A-MAZING!! I was hesitant thinking how can a live concert be fully entertaining without any instruments, and I've never been so happy to be WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. :D
I don't have something against live recordings at all, they're phantastic to showcase their 'actual' capabilities, but just for the sake of appreciating Kevin's incredible work in this song I recommend listening to the studio version of this😉
I have been waiting SOOOOO long for you to react to this. When Mitch is going onto all fours the noise you hear is a mix between not being able to pick up Avi's low notes and they have blown out a part of the venues speakers which happens quite often. They have started to bring there own speakers for Avi because most couldn't pick it up. You should react to Problem and can't hold us both of which have rapping. You should listen to can't sleep love which shows of Mitch especially. others are Cheerleader, waving through a window, your a mean one mr. grinch, lean on, misbehavin', Sing!, cracked and natural disaster. Also they released a new ep called home which they recorded while being quarantine.
Keep in mind... all acapella! Such a full sound & just their voices! Kirsten & Scott kept up the amazing harmonies the whole entire time letting Mitch & Avi shine. That’s respect! Yes, you need to save for tickets possibly VIP tickets so you can meet them & get pic taken!!!! Also note at 8:30 the entire crowd goes instantly silent to hear when Mitch starts singing again!
This video should come with a disclaimer in the title! Haha oh well. Great reaction! Jase is broken! Love to see it. My fav reaction of yours is still superfruit “guy.exe”. That one i replay for funsies cause it’s so funny. Hahahaha
I HIGHLY recommend seeing them in concert. I did in 2019, went with my sister and it was amazing. They do not disappoint. It helped that we saw them in Worcester Massachusetts. Matt went to school near there and Kevin went to Yale in CT (my home state). Plus their opening act was Rachel Platten, who is from the Boston area. It was great hearing them three talk about living and performing in the area when they were younger.
I was at that concert too! Rachel's mom was right by us in the pit and was the sweetest thing. I love that 2 years before that concert they were playing the same size outdoor venues as openers for Kelly Clarkson, fast forward 2 yrs and they were the headliners with their own opening acts. They are so so good live!
423catherine my sister and I weren’t anywhere near that close lol. We were way up in the stands but it was still great. My nephew was so jealous when we went. I had to take a bunch of videos for him.
You should totally react to Can't Sleep Love and The First Noel, Mitch is super impressive in the first one, and Avi awesomeness happens in the second one
A I can do this really cool thing where he sings 2 notes at the same time and they end up sounding like 1. He demonstrates it at the beginning of one of their live shows. There’s a video online of it somewhere.
You should try telephone from the same concert. Mitch was on fire that night. Telephone was the first song they ever sang together as a group. It was their audition song for the sing off.
Yaaaaaaaasss!! we needed to see you react to this! loved every second of it and I have NO trouble with you rewinding to get a better listen - I do exactly the same. very glad you can appreciate their greatness even through shitty recording haha
Ahhh I just woke up and I cant believe you actually reacted to this. Proud singaporean here! (wasnt at that show tho. my dad didnt let me go :( ) Edit: You definitely have to watch them live. it's amazing how similar it sounds to the studio version, sometimes better!!
I have been to many different concerts and no lie they are the BEST I have ever seen!!! I was lucky to go when Avi was still in the group! You will not regret it! You have to keep reminding yourself it's only the 5 of them!
Ha!! Great reaction! I bet you never doubt us Pentaholics again, when you get thousands of requests for a PTX song! Lol! My favorite reaction to this song so far!
For anyone else reacting to this video I am waiting for that high note, but thinking about you Jase, doing this one I immediately instead thought about Avi in the beginning and the suuuper low notes here and there during the main song. It's just so damn cool.
Every time I watch these guys it's always "the Kaplan effect" and "Mitch face reaction" I miss Kaplan so much. I know exactly why he left the group, but I'm not telling. He was so good with the other four, but he is doing well now on his own I believe. I love Avi, his voice, his face, his eyes, his heart.
You should check out their Sing Off Performances! Is was the acappella competition show they were on in 2011. See how they all started. It's live and you can fully appreciate how they come together as a group. You can find all the performances on UA-cam.
Pop Spring 2019 has to be your next live viewing of PTX. They will impress you with that live performance! And yes, before the virus shutdown, they were in the middle of a world tour. Definitely get a ticket for their live performance
I love your reactions Jase! I have been digging around the PTX catalog and there is a video of them doing a cover of Jack U featuring Justin Bieber called "Where are U now" and it is fantastic!
Even though I've seen them twice in concert, my mind still gets blown away. Even when they're right in front of you and it's real, it seems like you're in an alternate universe!
I was lucky enough to see them in Indianapolis . To answer the question...YES, they are as good in person. They produce a wall of sound and intense mercurial eddies of song that just embrace you . One of my all time favorite concerts.
Mine, too. And I saw Heart (Ann & Nancy Wilson & the original band) many times in the late 70s & early 80s!!! I used to party with them. So that is high praise! I just talked to Roger Fisher (Hearts orig. guitarist) the other day! But Ptx is in a league all by themselves.
BEST "Mitch-face" EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here for your PTX journey although i am a tad late lol. DEFINITELY go to one of their concerts even though if it is the ONLY one u are able to go to ever again in your life...TRUST ME!! Would love to see more of your reactions...you are so fun!Stay safe and healthy out there
THAT WAS ROCK right there bruh! 😁😂🤣🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 I think i've watched this video of yours about (insert crazy numbers) times now, and your reactions to the notes that Avi & Mitch throw down on are insane. And I totally agree, how could that much sound come from a cell phone! OMG! I was using my hands to press my headphones into my skull and it was insane in the membrane! #MitchSlapped
Love all your reactions to ptx, thanks for sharing your journey with these amazing people, and I share your feelings when Avi hits those low notes - jaw dropping!! ❤️
Love the channel. Hope you're staying safe. Your reactions are priceless. If you want to see PTX kill it live some more, Jase, look at their old videos from when they were first discovered on The Sing-Off. All their stuff is on UA-cam, and you also might like the Evolution of Music they did. If you want to be surprised by Scott's ability to flow, check out their cover of Macklemore's Can't Hold Us.
Yes you need to go to a concert, i need more fellow metalhead's at PTX concerts i always feel like the only one in a sea of rainbow lol. Seen them 3 times as PTX and 1 Superfruit concert. I'll go anytime they're near. I'm in CO as well and they come to Denver every tour.
The song at the beginning is called "Christus Fact" or something like that. Probably a bit of medieval church liturgy. Putting it together into a medley with "Aha" is sheer genius! I've seen snippets of Avi singing it in their "On my way home" documentary. From time to time, and strictly for his own quirky amuzement, Avi would let loose with the line from the song that rumbles the furniture, just for fun, and casually, like coming into a room and saying "good morning.". So finally, someone in the group probably said, "let's go ahead and use that." And did they ever!
100% get tickets when you can. You will be AMAZED. And I say this as someone who loves all the members extremely, and Mitch isn't even my most favorite, but if you ever get to see Mitch Grassi perform live in your lifetime you HAVE to do it. He has this amazing charisma and stage presence like nobody I've ever seen before, and that's a fact.
Amazing! You absolutely do you have to buy a ticket if they ever come anywhere near you. I have been to see them three times and have never been disappointed. So worth the money! The last time I saw them was the first time with Matt and while it was different it was still awesome. You will not be sorry you took a chance to see them live. Good luck. Great reaction as always. You’re one of my favorite reactors to PTX. Keep on rocking on! 😊
I am so excited that you were able to react to this it is mind blowing the highs and lows that occur with their voices in this video and the passion. I knew you would love it. Thank you so much for watching it!
Your reactions are the best but this one is priceless! I could not stop laughing and am right there with you. Avi is my all time fav too and he and Mitch singing together always blows my mind. I'm convinced this group could do anything. Matt is great and fits right in with the band but Avi holds a special place in my heart. Happy Holidays!
I've seen this live in 2016 and you wouldn't believe that they are better live. It is a full blown rock concert. Please if they start touring, or Avi touring..GO GO GO!
Just go back to The Sing Off show that put them on the map. They had that won from day one. amazing live performances and this when they where still unknown.
Here's their Berlin performance of "Aha!", where you can 1) hear that super low note of Avi's much richer, and 2) hear how consistent their live performances are. Crappy video at first, but it gets a little better. This also shows when Kevin comes up on stage as "Christus" is finished. ua-cam.com/video/diSK7S9bs-Y/v-deo.html
When Mitch and Avi decide to to a high vs low battle and we ALL win!
Amen to that.
I can only imagine how much more awesome it would be if Avi hadn't blown that speaker.
Its all fun and games, until Avi blows out the sound system. Basso Profundo voices can wreck havoc on monitor speakers ... lol
@@michellecole6325 Thats a bad habit. ;-)
After this performance Avi started bringing extra speakers on tour with them because some venue's sound system just couldn't handle it...LOL
When mitch goes to the ground,Avi blew out some of the sound system
I just like this sentence in general X'D
@@karlaa5977 😂😂😂
I have seen them live three times, and I can tell you when Avi hits that crazy low note, I could feel it go right through my chest in the auditorium. I almost couldn't breathe. It was spectacular!
Like when a car goes by your car with heavy bass & your car + your body is vibrating!!
It was Avi's idea to open "Aha!" with "Christus Factus Est", a piece he had sung in college choir and that is a choir staple in general. There's even a video of him singing it with his college choir. And his solo there really showcases his opera training. As for the part where Mitch goes on all fours, the rumbling you hear is partially Shane Nicholls' phone not able to handle the frequency of Avi's voice without distorting, and, like someone mentioned, he blew out part of the venue speakers. They had that problem a lot with venues that didn't have adequate lows capabilities. I believe they ended up bringing some of their own speakers that could handle Avi, to supplement the venue's own.
Thats typically what Acapella groups with that bass capability do. I know Home Free brings in their own entire sound system (or at the very least subs) and patches into the existing PA
Also, that rumbling did sound like it could be a loose cone in the subs, as well as the phones distortion and amplifying the sounds of the blown subs. Not sure what it sounded like in person but shit, the Board Op must have freaked out... Although, It sounds stylistic enough that it could have been on purpose for this performance? Now im doubting myself
I saw a video where Kevin does a lip roll as Avi sings that part the speakers are weird.

Yep. I’ve seen them 3 times now🙌
Yeeeeeeeesssssss!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Tune in next time for another episode of “Jase Has a Mental Breakdown Over Mitch’s Highs and Avi’s Lows” 😂😂
might be a new series on the channel...i like it.
Props to Mitch of course, but those background vocals Scott and Kirstie did were so complicated and expertly performed.

Glad to see this one!! Can't wait to see your reactions to the new stuff they released!!
You still haven’t reacted to Hallelujah live from their TV Christmas Spcial. You said you would???
Their live shows are incredible. I’ve been to 100s of concerts of all types but PTX puts on one heck of a show
Hi everyone
“Pop spring 2016 pentatonix live” !!!!
Yes up
Pop Spring 2019 has to be your next live viewing of PTX. They will impress you with that live performance! And yes, before the virus shutdown, they were in the middle of a world tour. Definitely get a ticket for their live performance
Yes up
Check out Kevin Olusola - Sign of the times (cover)
Yay, I’ve been waiting for you to react to this!!! ❤️
Other live recommendations: popspring performance (4 songs), natural disaster, hallelujah
TOLD YOU - yes get tickets cause they are even better in concert than on video!
Thank you so much for doing this!!!
I so love watching folk view this for the 1st time, you didn't disappoint. Thanks Jase, that was ssooo satisfying!😃
I love your reactions Jase! I have been digging around the PTX catalog and there is a video of them doing a cover of Jack U featuring Justin Bieber called "Where are U now" and it is fantastic!
I was actually there that day! It was amazing!
Welcome back to PTX. Did you miss them?
My eye is open for all their new stuff over the last month. They’re also preview some original content Soon...
Awesome! They are great in concert! Now, check out 2 Cello's Thunderstruck!!!! Please!!!!
I’ve seen Pentatonix live twice! They are amazing live! You should definitely go!
Even though I've seen them twice in concert, my mind still gets blown away. Even when they're right in front of you and it's real, it seems like you're in an alternate universe!
Anther good live performance is "New Year's Day"
I second it. That’s my second favourite live performance. Well first is this obviously ☺️
Yes! I love that one and not many reactors react to it.
I was lucky enough to see them in Indianapolis . To answer the question...YES, they are as good in person. They produce a wall of sound and intense mercurial eddies of song that just embrace you .
One of my all time favorite concerts.
Mine, too. And I saw Heart (Ann & Nancy Wilson & the original band) many times in the late 70s & early 80s!!! I used to party with them. So that is high praise! I just talked to Roger Fisher (Hearts orig. guitarist) the other day! But Ptx is in a league all by themselves.
You're traumatized in a good way if that's a thing😂 like every single one of us😂
Anyways can react to Perfume Medley its a really good song
I love the Perfume Medley!
BEST "Mitch-face" EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here for your PTX journey although i am a tad late lol. DEFINITELY go to one of their concerts even though if it is the ONLY one u are able to go to ever again in your life...TRUST ME!! Would love to see more of your reactions...you are so fun!Stay safe and healthy out there
Theres this whole new wave of Pentatonix reactors and Im living for it! You are on such a journey!
The answer is yes. You need to buy the tickets!
THAT WAS ROCK right there bruh! 😁😂🤣🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 I think i've watched this video of yours about (insert crazy numbers) times now, and your reactions to the notes that Avi & Mitch throw down on are insane. And I totally agree, how could that much sound come from a cell phone! OMG! I was using my hands to press my headphones into my skull and it was insane in the membrane! #MitchSlapped
I saw pentatonix in concert right before avi left the group. They were spectacular. Highly recommend :)
YES!!! I love Aha!!.. I was hoping you would do this one
Love all your reactions to ptx, thanks for sharing your journey with these amazing people, and I share your feelings when Avi hits those low notes - jaw dropping!! ❤️
Love the channel. Hope you're staying safe. Your reactions are priceless. If you want to see PTX kill it live some more, Jase, look at their old videos from when they were first discovered on The Sing-Off. All their stuff is on UA-cam, and you also might like the Evolution of Music they did. If you want to be surprised by Scott's ability to flow, check out their cover of Macklemore's Can't Hold Us.
Yes you need to go to a concert, i need more fellow metalhead's at PTX concerts i always feel like the only one in a sea of rainbow lol. Seen them 3 times as PTX and 1 Superfruit concert. I'll go anytime they're near. I'm in CO as well and they come to Denver every tour.
I’ve see them in concert! They don’t disappoint.
The song at the beginning is called "Christus Fact" or something like that. Probably a bit of medieval church liturgy. Putting it together into a medley with "Aha" is sheer genius! I've seen snippets of Avi singing it in their "On my way home" documentary. From time to time, and strictly for his own quirky amuzement, Avi would let loose with the line from the song that rumbles the furniture, just for fun, and casually, like coming into a room and saying "good morning.". So finally, someone in the group probably said, "let's go ahead and use that." And did they ever!
100% get tickets when you can. You will be AMAZED. And I say this as someone who loves all the members extremely, and Mitch isn't even my most favorite, but if you ever get to see Mitch Grassi perform live in your lifetime you HAVE to do it. He has this amazing charisma and stage presence like nobody I've ever seen before, and that's a fact.
Amazing! You absolutely do you have to buy a ticket if they ever come anywhere near you. I have been to see them three times and have never been disappointed. So worth the money! The last time I saw them was the first time with Matt and while it was different it was still awesome. You will not be sorry you took a chance to see them live. Good luck. Great reaction as always. You’re one of my favorite reactors to PTX. Keep on rocking on! 😊
I am so excited that you were able to react to this it is mind blowing the highs and lows that occur with their voices in this video and the passion. I knew you would love it. Thank you so much for watching it!
Your reactions are the best but this one is priceless! I could not stop laughing and am right there with you. Avi is my all time fav too and he and Mitch singing together always blows my mind. I'm convinced this group could do anything. Matt is great and fits right in with the band but Avi holds a special place in my heart. Happy Holidays!
Awesome as always with these guys.
I've seen this live in 2016 and you wouldn't believe that they are better live. It is a full blown rock concert.
Please if they start touring, or Avi touring..GO GO GO!
You gonna believe us now?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! ;) XD Live is even more impressive!
Just go back to The Sing Off show that put them on the map. They had that won from day one. amazing live performances and this when they where still unknown.
Kevin is putting his cello away after his solo.
Here's their Berlin performance of "Aha!", where you can 1) hear that super low note of Avi's much richer, and 2) hear how consistent their live performances are. Crappy video at first, but it gets a little better. This also shows when Kevin comes up on stage as "Christus" is finished. ua-cam.com/video/diSK7S9bs-Y/v-deo.html
If you ever get the chance to go to one of their concerts you will not be disappointed. Guaranteed!!
This is one of my favorite live PTX videos! Thanks for the great reaction!
I’m so freaking happy you finally did this song!!
No matter how many times I watch this reaction video, the reactions and expressions never get old!
I second, third, fourth etc checking out the live Popspring vid.... this features and the sound is really clear.
