I too saw mi amigo vicente play 5 years ago, so I knew exactly what I could expect. But he still blew my socks off. I don't remember ever enjoying a concert more. I was interested to see him cross himself as he walked on stage, but as Romanza says, he looked very relaxed. Someone in the crowd shouted "Torero" and he quietly answered "I'm scared of bulls." Last week in a tiny room I saw Diego Amador, who was also pretty amazing. Unlike the last time I saw him he played solo, and accompanied himself only on the piano. He seemed quite surprised by the response he got, saying "what a great audience, I should have brought a bigger band." I saw the latest Sara Baras extravaganza, which I suppose was impressive but I've never been too keen on big dance shows. And it was great to see Enrique Morente. He's not my favourite singer and I only really went along so as to support cante concerts and in the hope of seeing Nino Josele, but I'm so glad I did, I really enjoyed it. It's a shame the hall wasn't full.
