I had a fantastic night! The opening act (Beacon) was also great - I had never heard of them before tonight, but after hearing them open for Tycho, I am now a fan! Tycho did an extended set (with a break in-between) but they did all of the songs I would have hoped they would do, and more! Both bands were excellent, but I just wish the time printed on the ticket were more accurate. The ticket said 7pm. Doors opened at 6pm (which is understandable), but there was no mention that there was an opening act (again, they were great, but I didn't even know who they were until I looked them up). Tycho didn't actually start playing until 9:17pm. The only problem with that was, I ended up getting out of the show around 11:00pm, and I missed the last train home - I wasn't expecting to be there that long - but I did have a great time, and both bands were excellent.

I love this band!! We saw them in Atlanta, the show was so good that we drove all the way to Oxford, Mississippi just to see them again the next night. I can't wait to see them again. This band is taking music, and visual effects to another level.

The opener was weird AF, but Tycho pulled through with an awesome set. Despite being a Monday night, they had the crowd bumpin and swayin.

I got there late- my fault. I'm used to opening acts going on at least an hour late and then the main act not starting until well after 10pm. Not so here. I got there at 9:30, expecting to catch the last couple songs of the openers, then have time to wander the venue and find my perfect spot. Tycho was a good way into their set by the time I got my beer and found my perch. A sign on the door showed their (Tycho) start time as 9:15. So I'm assuming they did (start then) as the crowd was already deeply entranced by the time I was able to see the stage. The venue was sold out. That's usually bad news (especially when planning on showing up late), but it took me all of two minutes to make my way through the crowd to the bar, another two to get my beer and another two to pay. Not bad for a sold out show. 5 minutes later, I was on the right side balcony with a full view of the main stage- only two people in front of me (lucily, they were short). There was no re-entry. But since the performance was so.... (lost for words, but in a good way), I forgot I was a social smoker (only when I'm drinking) and never even thought to go outside for a smoke and meet some fellow fans. Seriously- didn't even cross my mind, until the show was over. And then, all I wanted to do was sit in the audtitorium and bask in the happy afterglow the band left on the stage, and on the floor, and in the bathroom and on the ceilings- it was everywhere...and I don't do drugs. That damn good. Awesome light/video show- if you're a fan of Scott's artwork- it was well put together and complimented the music perfectly.

TYCHO was insanely beautiful. I haven't felt so good in awhile. he played all the things i wanted to hear. "hours" and "costal brake" back to back was definitely the highlight for me. too bad the crowd was frozen solid :/ people were barely dancing although my friend and I managed to get the people around us moving :D Tycho is ideal dancing music to all who don't know. check it out if you have the chance. maybe next time at NERO people won't be so stone cold nov 4th everyone webster hall

Tycho's sounds is huge. Just absolutely beautiful soundscapes backed by his aesthetically planned and wonderfully executed iso50 visual displays. The live band was something I was slightly nervous for, as I had seen several other artists (i.e Toro and Washed Out) who use a band for their live performance, which generally changes the feel for a lot of the bedroom sound production. However, I thought the instruments were used in a tasteful manner. Although not as tight as it could have been, as there were definitely areas that need to be cleaned up, it still sounded great. The thing I loved most about finally getting to see Tycho was the intimacy and connectedness of this show. When you listen to this on record, you may think that God himself is conjuring up these moments of audio bliss, and then you see the man behind it all on stage. Believe it or not Tycho is human, and that's the coolest part; That a mortal person could make these songs and play them live while he is feeling sick and still owning the stage. Tycho will get bigger and bigger, and anyone who was in Brooklyn on Sunday is lucky to have had a glimpse of this set.

Tycho is a remarkable act and the band he now plays with does a great job at adding more rich sound to its body. The back drop (visualization) was also really fun. Tycho is a humble dude and gives you really good vibes.

Tycho at the Fox Oakland was amazing. The sweet synths of Scott Hansen washed over the crowd, together with Zac Brown's and Joe Davancens' guitar licks and synth playing, and drums by Rory O'Connor laying down the beat. The music transcended the ambient genre into which Tycho is usually placed and took the listener into a place all its own. The laser light show, which Tycho premiered at the Fox Oakland, combined with the music for a perfect mix of son et lumiere.

I honestly enjoyed this show, thoroughly. The location could not have been more exciting, as I don't often get a chance to visit both Manhattan and my friends from New York often, so Webster Hall ended up being the perfect location for an ambient group like Tycho. The lighting and sound quality was fit to a tee with the music, and the crowd was definitely enjoying the overall feeling of the concert. I would most certainly come back to Manhattan and more specifically Webster Hall for future concerts.

Tycho killed it. The music, visuals, projections, humbleness, appreciation, passion, excitement...were all what made this show one of my all time favorite. It was one of the smallest shows I've seen but blew away the more known names spending millions on their tours.

The show was absolutely incredible and blew my expectations out of the water. I have been a tycho fan for many years and listen to the music almost daily. Scott always says in interviews how his shows are a audio and visual experience and I can confirm that. The music was just as incredible as ever but the visuals really made the show something special.

This was a phenomenal show and a favorite, chill venue. My only issue was that Tycho's sound is really too 'big' to be constrained indoors anywhere. Missed the first opener, but really enjoyed having a drink at the mezzanine hi-top and hearing Com Truise for the first time.

The venue was really cool, it was my first time. The openers, Autograf really set the tone right and Tycho was amazing. The acoustics were great as well as the lighting. I was with someone who is pretty short but we had no problem finding a space where we both could see.

The show @ The Ritz in Ybor City was fantastic. Being inside a small venue, the music was not distorted, could have been there for days and just listen to Tycho.

I've been to many many shows, but this was one of the most beautiful experiences of my life. The visuals from their projector are stunning. They are all in the same vein as their album artwork. Like if you filmed the ocean, surfing, and waves but put the video through an instagram filter called "sunset." It is just a very relaxed and pleasant time. I can't recommend seeing Tycho enough!

The music was great. Played an hour an half set. Not much of a stage presence. I guess lazers and background light show make up for lack of a stage presence.

Seeing Tycho live is always a great night. Christopher Willits and Beacon opened before Tycho and both were very good; Willits set up a soothing ambient atmosphere and Beacon set up a great drum and bass style setlist. Tychos live versions of their songs are awesome and the personal live touch added in their concerts is something every Tycho listener needs to experience.

I hate warm up bands, especially when it is really a dj playing his programed computer or telling you he just played an unfinished song of his. Stay home then and finish it. I love Tycho music but there is not stage presence or personality on stage. I was curious as to how they would present their music on a stage. There was really no point in seeing them, only hearing them. They did perform for about an hour and half.

Did not know Tycho would start playing at 10:15pm. Ticketmaster says the event starts at 8pm (which was when the doors open.) The sound quality for Christopher Willits play was terrible - a lot of clipping and painful low frequency resonance every few seconds that ruined Christopher's music.
