Paco curiosities

Hi all,

I've just saw one video of Paco where in between songs he talks to Antonio Serrano in what seems to me a really lovely moment between the two.
That reminds me of a couple more moments where similar things happened, for example after sinishing Antonio in Flamenco 2.
There are also these famous moments in a couple of vids when someone from the audience shouts Paco's name and he responds.

I leave the link below, and if you happen to know some more things like this it would be nice to have them in one place.

Fast forward to 17:25:

Cheers

In 1996 Al and Paco had a fight at the start of the tour.... after they worked things out to continue there was Lots of Guasa going on....one of my favorites is this at 25 minutes:

Also this is pretty funny

Ah ok that makes sense now, I was wondering why he said My friend Paco. That's funny. And at 27:07 paco gives a death stare over to Al, "don't f this one up ok Al"... and Al looks to the floor in reply.

Wow! He also gave him an eye-roll / condescending look. LOL

It sure does - I hate that sound. But what is with John earlier mouthing something to Paco. I don't understand why they are all being so obvious about queueing each other - were they all high or just really pissed off at each other?

They went out and chose a song John never plays on so they are winging it in terms of structure.... normally al and Paco ramble on over this tune for 12 minutes and pavoratti probably wanted it even shorter than this lol

On a side note I found this cool guitar concert and at 47:20 yamandu announces his big fan in the audience
