sim999 -> Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 19 2013 11:04:09)

Hello,

I'm going to see Vicente Tomorrow in a guitar festival (in France),
he's going to play stuff from his last album (Tierra 2013) which it's very good (something new doesn't hurt :) ). I hope he will also play his taranta /solea too as an introduction like the old days :)

Some additional musicians will be there to play the instruments from the album (flute, drums ...).

After the concert a jam session is planned between musicians from different bands / music style and Vicente will be there too. I'm just curious how this is going to work out !

Anyway I will try to make some photos /videos for you and give some feedback about this concert

Hey sim999
Hope you have a fantastic time!! I am a greener shade of pink with envy [;)]
I look forward to your post on how it was.

I dont know if they're the same guys as on the album but at least here in Portugal they sounded like the album (flute & violin). They played Tierra entirely.

Rafael Utrera has a funny delivery [:D]



pink -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 19 2013 23:33:20)

So you've seen the show for this album Rui ....how did you enjoy it , did you get what you'd hoped for?

Unfortunately I didn't have the chance to see Vicente when he came to Portugal a couple of months ago. My teacher loved the concert, he said it was great.

Enjoy the show Simon.



Sr. Martins -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 20 2013 0:45:37)

In fact I didnt expect to see it. Front row tickets were 40€ and I wasnt going to pay that (studying, no work right now).

So I sent a facebook message to the organization and on the day of the event they replied saying "sure, come on over, your name will be at the door"... so I went[:D]


Regarding the show itself, it was really nice. One thing I noticed is that Vicente has been saying the same thing between songs over the years, that it is "nice to be there with us (audience) enjoying the moment"..."disfrutando un ratito" or something like that [8D]

He even made a joke about is singing at the end of Laura, saying that is singing wasnt that good because of the microphone and then he repositioned it and sang the beggining only with his guitar.


Tangos del Arco Bajo was really powerful and everytime he did the golpe above the strings it was a total punch in the face (same thing happened in Laura).

O quê?! Não pagas-te bilhete?! Cagalhão... Tenho que começar a fazer o mesmo...[:D]



Sr. Martins -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 20 2013 0:55:04)

No máximo diziam-me "Olhe, por alguma razão os bilhetes estão à venda. Se quer ir vá comprá-los".

Como eu não me importava de receber essa resposta, também não me importei em entregar aquela pergunta. [:D]

Where in France exactly?



pink -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 20 2013 22:08:49)

So more than you could have hoped for I guess.
You are very fortunate to have been given that opportunity.... excellent result for you!! [;)]

I've not seen the man live but hope the chance will come my way at some point!

el carbonero -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 21 2013 11:15:52)

it was in saint julien en genevois,i live in this little town and i could not go[:@],and i had free ticket....but i had a gig yesterday.
i never see vicente [:(]

In this festival there are few good guitarists like vicente,bireli lagrene,brian may,mark knopfler....



beno -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 21 2013 11:21:07)

I'm very happy that I could see Him on concert BEFORE the new album [:)]



Morante -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 21 2013 14:10:03)

Saw Vicente a while back: a much better concert than PdL. But he had Tino de Geraldo on drums, TWO cajones, bass, violin and a flamenco guitar at the loudest I have ever heard without feedback.

Enjoy but take earplugs
[:-]



tri7/5 -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 21 2013 15:20:05)

Never quite understood why Vincente basically only plays songs off his newest release for the most part. I get playing a few songs off Tierra as it's his newest but not playing every song verbatim from the cd. Every concert I've seen from him on youtube and now his newest tour just re-affirms this depending what year it's from. The guy has to know people want to hear pieces all through the years and mix it up a bit.

Half of the show were older songs, at least here in Portugal.

haha Beno I was thinking exactly the same thing :D



sim999 -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 22 2013 22:17:31)

Hello everyone

As promised some feedback about the concert :

- first the sound was good and loud but it could have been slightly better from my point of view
- second : the setlist :

-Mensaje (fandangos from vivencias imaginadas) : a good surprise
- tangos del arco bajo (tangos from un momento en el sonido)
- autorettrato (bulerias from paseo de gracia)

- from Tierra : almost everything except rom, cancion del laura

- final : a big bulerias with different falsetas (gitano del lucia, and some stuff from paseo de gracia

- about the band : Rafael de utrera was absent I don't why, another cantaor was there nothing really special about him, like often in flamenco he was clearly out of tune on some parts (specially part written from female voice I believe).

Dyingsea : to tell you the truth I don't think Vicente can play hist most technical stuff nowadays (from vivencias : el mandaito for instance and he doesn't play tremolo anymore ) it's like paco (which I saw) he 's not going to play cepa andaluza anyway ...

Conclusion : a good concert with a lot of bulerias [:)] not my best in flamenco (that would be rocio marquez + juan ramon caro) but it was enjoyable.



Sr. Martins -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 22 2013 22:25:50)

Here in Portugal, Tangos del arco bajo and Autoretrato were great but Laura was an highlight, thats for sure [:D]

He closed with Roma which was a bit crappy since he played it like in the album (ie. with no guitar solos)... its like going to a Steve Vai concert and watching him only playing chords right before he exits the stage.



pink -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 22 2013 23:09:39)

But if he has his hair blowing machine of wind then all would be at peace with the world ....no?

Edit
Of course I mean Steve!!

That'd be so epic LOL



pink -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 22 2013 23:18:24)

Hey Kasey could you imagine a third breed between Steve, Vicente and Derek Zoolander all standing in front of a large fan on stage in the royal Albert hall London....imagine the faces we would experience.!!

pink -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 22 2013 23:27:44)

We should start a new thread....Epic faces f.u. c.k. the talent......give me wind

Sr. Martins -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 22 2013 23:28:50)

Vicente doesnt need a fan, he has the "close your eyes and face the ceiling" thing going on. Seems to be efective at taking the hair out of the way, no need for a fan.



pink -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 22 2013 23:34:25)

I think he may be taking advantage of the loads of guitarists in the audience trick.
They all blow out ...usually upwards as he does something amazing and he looks up at that very moment ,thus taking advantage of the rebound down draft!!?

Sr. Martins -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 23 2013 0:09:02)

Well, this aint no Dream Theater show where you can spot all the guitarists and drummers in the audience.

In fact there were lots of women. I kinda felt out of place dressing all black with steel boots, scarf and a tight blazer. [8D]



pink -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 23 2013 0:20:19)

I have to come clean.......I was there ,just behind you . We did share a glance or two as the evening progressed. I was wearing a tight black dress ,black heels ( 7 inch , my lucky number) and a red wrap around. I was told that the only way to get backstage at a Vicente gig was to adopt the role of the mid forty something slapper/groupie....this didn't work and I spent the tail end of the evening eating a portion of chips down the local docks.
I hope your evening was more of a success?

Sr. Martins -> RE: Going to see Vicente tomorrow with his new musicians (Jul. 23 2013 10:48:01)

Yes.
