Paco in Belgrade 

Paco played in Belgrade on Thursday, so, lets say a few words about it!

The concert supposed to start at 20:30! I was there early, so I went staight to the place where Paco supposed to enter! After that, el Pirana, la Chonchi and Montse went out to smoke a cigar! I took a photo with them and talked a little, especially with la Chonchi! They were very nice to me, and in a good mood! I was lucky because, after a few minutes they got back in, Nino Josele went out to smoke his cigar! He was also very nice to me, asked me if I play the guitar and we talked a little! I took a photo with him too! Chonchi told me that Paco didn’t arrive from the airport yet, so I decided to wait a little!
I think that the plane was late, and Paco arrived just 10 minutes before the concert, straight from the airport! A few people waited for an autograph! When he came out of the car, he ran to the entrance looking at us saying: ”despues, despues, I’m very late, very late..”! It was a very interesting scene ! Soon, it was announced that the concert will begin with 1h late! It was good, I was afraid that Paco will be tired and that he wont warm up, but I was wrong!

The concert began and there’s no words to describe it! Paco played brilliant, he seemed very motivated and not tired! Every note was absolutely perfect, clean and his picados were played at the speed of light! All musicians were great and for me, a flute was something new! Also, it was my first time listening the beautiful voice of la Chonchi live!
And I don’t know why, but Paco didn’t play “Cositas Buenas”!

After the concert some people, including me and another foro member, el_menco, waited Paco to come out! We didn’t wait long, he was very nice, took pictures with everyone and gave autographs! I exchange a few words with him too, he signed me the picture I took with him last year with “A Felipe, con cariño”, and that’s it!

I will upload some pictures soon!

Regards

Nice report!! Got me all excited as I'm gonna be working backstage at Paco concert in London in about 4 weeks. Can't wait!!!

Its also nice to hear you enjoyed the music and you reported that Paco played very well as I've heard some bad reports and more negative feedback from people recently.


Thanks for the review

I just watched the Francisco Sanchez DVD and he said that he couldn't go to a concert with that beard. He has lost a lot of hair though.

Yes, but that was before 2003, when the dvd was published! Now he plays with the beard, and I like it! It's more artistic in some way... (just my opinion)!

Chonchi said after the concert that she is going to publish her new album next year and it would be more flamenco than her last I cant wait, I fell in love in her voice when I had heard it for the first time, and how beautiful it is live...
