The concert last night was *amazing.*  Beautiful day, beautiful venue, beautiful artists.

The opener was Ceu, from Brazil.  She had kind of a jazzy, samba-y, afrobeat feel to her.  Very chill and very relaxed.  We bought her CD, as well as two copies of Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Unfortunately, almost all of the videos I took of Rodrigo y Gabriela are too big to upload, so you'll have to deal with this one.  I'm telling you, words cannot express how awesome these two are.  If you *ever* get a chance to see them in person, take it.  I promise you, you will not regret it.

I believe these two have the potential to single handedly introduce an entire generation of people to honest talent and instrumental genius.  This is a far cry from the manufactured pop that most people listen to today.  But it has an appeal that I think transcends all age brackets and all genres.  Absolutely incredible.

The energy was fantastic.  Everyone was excited and cheering, and there wasn't an empty seat in the house.

I really wish I could share more of the video I took, but this is all that would fit.  I even have one of Rodrigo playing Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here with a beer bottle!  This video is rather pitiful, but at least you get the idea.

I hope you like it!
