Notes
Wow! Tonight David Hidalgo played like a man possessed! Burning bright and dazzling us with his soulful fretwork. Lots of deep blues runs tonight, but plenty of psychedelia too. Makes me sad that I haven't seen them since last year – how many similar shows did I miss?
The rest of the band were also in fine form, relaxed and joking with each other in between the tunes. Cesar seemed to be suffering from a bit of throat discomfort – many of his lines seemed to be clipped off short – but he soldiered through to the end without complaint. Hopefully it's nothing too serious!
Thanks to RasBobre for help with the setlist!
