Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

woooooowwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!! thanks Bob!!!!!!!

(more details about the concert & the hipódromo tomorrow!! )

it was the classic day for a storm at sunset. But noooo!. Really heavy and cloudy during the day but at night completely clear, with a cool breeze and a big moon.
I went slowly walking from my home crossing Indepedence park full of people in the attitude of being semi-unconscious for the heat.
In one side of the hipódromo I searched for Gate 1 (obviously the more populated one), we waited in the quietest fila I ever be part of and entered the place while Malosseti & his band(a great bassist player who was many times in Rosario) was playing. While waiting in the filas everybody (me included) were watching the people playing sports in the neighbor-club, the people passing by, the people working in the studs, what it result to be the food for the horses (instead of alfalfa some yellow indefinible mix) all in the atmosphere of eucaliptus, rural smells and various cigarettes.
My place was in the hipódromo´s tribunas (plateas altas), the scenario was near the middle of the camp while the horses were supposed to ride. The view was great. Really. The glowing street-lights marking the perimeter at distance, dark fields, the scenario, the people of the plateas and the sky.
Then the music, of course!!!!!!! Very energetic concert, Dylan´s group is very powerful, he is he and I somehow had imagined a quieter performance!!!!! and I loved it!!!!!!!!!! Some of the songs he did are new for me (I mean, I didn´t know them, at least the lyrics). I also liked that!! At moments it was quasi-hipnotic!!!!!!!!!

Here´s a rolling stone link to yesterday´s concert. You can find the list of themes there!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy them!!!!!!!!!!

I already printed the lyrics of the concert!!!!!!!! One reason to have fun during the weekend!!!!!!!!!! wowwwww!!!!!!

some sayings before and after the concert -the silence during it was incredible-:

when he did only two bises: "che, llamemos a Malosetti !!!!" something like... "hey, let´s call to Malosetti (again!)"

before the concert started 20 minutes later: " espero que no haga la gran-charly" what it means nearly..." I hope he doesn´t arrive two hours later, play two themes, destroy the guitar and kick the parlantes... like Charly (did soooo many times).

after the concert: "sólo le faltó un cacho de onda" with in rosarine means roughly... "it was great but it would be greater if he showed himself more kind/funny/efusive/willing to talk or stay more/emphatic-empático?, etc"

Glad you could see Dylan! Was this his first concert in Rosario?

thanks cecil! I was very happy too!!!!!!! Yes, it was his first concert here and the third time he came to the country (the other two concerts before these ones were in Buenos Aires).
