Just saw him here in Vegas last night! I had a fear that the music would be way over my head, (some of his later stuff is for me), but that wasn't the case. I thought the show was well balanced throughout. The band killed!!! Yes, there were mistakes, and maybe Paco shows some signs of ageing, but after he got warmed up, man watch out! I agree with Kalo, the show was 100 percent flamenco. The harmonica and bass was in no way over kill. They didn't play a lot, but what they played fit the show perfectly. My biggest reservation was the harmonica player, but after hearing the show, I see what he adds, and was even glad he was a part of the show. If I can get a cheep flight, I'll be at the Oakland show tomorrow! That's how pumped the performance made me. Paco is a man of few words on stage, but his music sure did his talking for him. What I wouldn't give to have just one ounce of that man's talent... The sound was pretty good, although I would have been fine if the guitar was bumped up a few DB... As I said, the band was killer. Great singers, out of this world dancing and playing. This is the flamenco which I will aspire all of my life to be a part of... If you miss the show your a fool!!! This show pumped me up so much that if I could I would sell everything I own and leave for Spain tomorrow. At times the music touched me so deeply that I almost cried! And I aint the crying kind! Hearing the man live was 2nd only to sitting down with God!
