Bridges, connections, tunnels, overpass, underpass, gateway; it's all the same.

Hey look Arash, at this video...

The mics didn't work..the harmonies were all unbalanced etc...

Yet I didn't see anyone taking any notes...

(...well the little girl at 0:54 was obviously totally appalled at how bad the sound was..

)

This is what Fanmania is all about....

Do you think having to wait a couple of seconds to start the falseta really bothered Paco that much?

cheers,

Ron

RE: Beauty of Flamenco - Lovely moments (in reply to Ron.M)

i don't know, but i think he is a perfectionist. i don't know, maybe these days he doesn't give a damn about many things, and of course it looks like he is very relaxed doing that mistake. BUT, i don't know what he really feels and what is going on in his mind ...or let say when he is at home after a show, in which he made mistakes, etc...... as already mentioned, from my perspective its all good and even cool....... but maybe thats not his perspective and maybe he is very sensitive with these issues ... who knows.....

He missed the right moment to start the falseta at 9.49

Of course he just keeps driving with compas and starts next time at 9.56.

So ****ing COOL.

Feel free to post other lovely moments

I also see no problem there. It shows us even the machine Paco is human.

I cant imagine Paco being bothered by that mistake, or lets say mistakes

I also dont see any problem in uploading or linking videos of him. He probably made mistakes too when YouTube wasnt even invented.

Paco is already reputable and has contributed so much to the flamenco art already. No number of mistakes he make now (or in the future) can ever take that away. Though as I'm learning now, accepting a great deal of humility is all part of learning and improving and will teach you how to handle and recover from all sorts of mistakes.

He actually chose to acknowledge the mistake by laughing so it seems like he's pretty relaxed about it. He could have just played through and no one would really notice.
He is a perfectionist of course but maybe he is getting more relaxed lately and letting himself make some mistakes.

Yaeh you´re right... Paco is pretty good for his age.

It's beautiful. He handled that memory lapse (if i might call it one) with a confident smile. I honestly even feel better with that performance rather than something that is perfect
