I agree that Paco probably wasn't at all nervous to play with the trio. I also think that playing the Concerto was rather easy for him, after all it is him. Playing two totally different styles on stage in front of thousands of people is nothing for a genius of Paco's magnitude. Here are some more little known Facts about Paco de Lucia:
Paco de Lucia can slam a revolving door. Paco de Lucia counted to infinity. Twice. Paco de Lucia is so fast he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head. When Paco de Lucia does a pushup, he isn't pushing himself up, he's pushing the Earth down. Paco de Lucia can touch MC Hammer. Paco de Lucia doesn't wear a watch. He decides what time it is. In fine print in the book of Guiness Records it notes that all world records are held by Paco de Lucia, and the names listed are just those who got second place. Paco de Lucia once visited the Virgin Islands. They are now just the Islands.
he he he. ha ha ha. ho ho ho. you forgot to copy and paste the rest of those chuck noris jokes to make your wannabe sarcastic post even funnier, such as:
it takes paco 20 minutes to watch 60 minutes. (rolling on the floor and vomiting).
even my fart video was funnier than this.
why do you guys always wanne fight against the truth? paco is god. accept it and you wont have so many sleepness nights anymore. ;)

maybe when I try to tell people who've never heard of him about Paco I will use this instead of my usual "imagine if Jimi Hendrix had lived and was still blowing people away with his playing"

You have to worship him day and night, enjoying is not enough. God is not simply some music cd you can enjoy whenever you want and turn it off whenever you want when you get tired. Are you joking or what.

Seams like we have a lot of confused atheists here, poor souls.
Pinky and Mark seam to be agnostic though. A little confused too, but still hope there.
Miguel, not bad, you are improving and on the right track. This one sounded a bit more flamenco, inspired by God, with some attack. I recommand using your weekend to practice how to obey sumissively to God and all aspects of your life will improve.
As for jean claude, No he doesn't do that , God doesn't spread his legs like a pussy.

Lot of people talk about what PDL is doing with his technique. Many players in spain simply copy him and can do something similar, but funny that the talkers about the technique can't really do it , or are seeing something different. Likewise I hear about this woman's technique for years. Time for the horses mouth. Here you can see the right hand at 4:26
I have to say, her approach is similar to flamenco (playing straight on with bent wrist and middle joints curled), although we only see tirandos, and she has so much un needed movements to get a good nail attack it seems. I think she could have been more efficient and less tense by holding more steady, and nail shape could let her hit at only one angle instead of moving. Perhaps cuz she is female she gets all the attention? Because her male partner there seems to have a much more efficient and relaxed technique IMO.

This was back on page 2 I think. But I came across this nice video this morning:
