A Czech-speaking man from the stage explained that the concert would continue under the condition that no one would point such a thing at any of the performers. If so, it will be over. The warning was clear enough that the culprit hid his gadget. The band returned and continued the performance.
At the same time, she would probably welcome it if the problem recurred and she could shorten her set. It’s a heretical idea, but she seemed a bit tired from the start of her set.
Kevin, Joe and Nick Jonas are on a tour called ‘Five Albums. One Night. The World Tour” since August of last year when they started in New York. With breaks, they then took it through North America, Asia, Australia and South America to finish everything in Europe, where they have been playing and singing since the beginning of this September.

The Prague stop was the second to last in the program of the entire tour, everything will culminate in Krakow, Poland, on Wednesday. Considering the number of times they played even on consecutive days without a break, it’s no wonder that the three showed signs of fatigue that was literally noticeable.
Their 12-member backing orchestra combined with choristers played brilliantly, ensuring that the sound was varied and rich. Constantly pretending that everything is in the best order and that it is actually one long party, but it seemed unconvincing, a little comical, even chaotic.
Instead of welcoming the audience, such a brass section should have simply played and honored the choreography prepared for the songs. The brothers themselves sometimes crawled around the stage.
In addition, the concert did not have a very good sound, many musical lines merged into each other. And if we are talking about the list of weak points, then one of them included the moment when suddenly something started to crackle in the speakers, which threw off a number of carefree dancing fans who thoroughly enjoyed the evening in many ways.

Girls in the audience predominated, especially those with compulsory high school. It was the best news for the Jonas Brothers, because their affection pushed all the described unfortunate moments out of focus. After all, one of them was that it was far from sold out.
Right at the beginning of the concert, the girls started dancing. Even many of those who were sitting in their designated seats quickly stood up, swaying their hips and singing with such enthusiasm that it simply had to be beneficial for the performers.
It was their first stop in the Czech Republic, which the brothers did not fail to mention. They divided their set into several thematic parts, which is why one block included songs from the TV musical Camp Rock from 2008, another from the new album The Album from last year, then pieces from the solo work of Nick Jonas or the band DNCE, of which he was a member in years 2015 to 2023 Joe Jonas, and so on.
After that, it only mattered how successful each song was when it was created and how much the fans in Prague like it. There were moments when literally everyone in the hall sang and it looked like a real high school party, as well as moments when some of those standing sat down for a while because the concert lost its tension.
It could have been twenty minutes shorter. Surely the weaker moments in his dramaturgy could be discovered and pushed off the stage. However, since it lasted significantly longer than two hours, they stayed on him.
The Jonas Brothers claim to combine rock with pop. The brass section in the concert line-up, as well as the high number of musicians on stage, revealed that in terms of interpretation, they are moving towards more complex and richly arranged forms of songs. They are clear about where they have come from and where they want to go next. After all, the influences of soul and r’n’b are evident on their last year’s record The Album.
