for $20....can't fucking wait. Anybody else like this guy. I for one think he's quite underrated.

    Yeah, he's got a very cool style. I like how he uses strings in his rock and roll. I like how the strings are played forcefully, instead of delicately.

    Incredible show. The venue couldn't have had more than 150 people there but everyone was having a great time. Definitely a performance where you cannot help but dance your ass off.

    I'm a newly converted, big fan. :D

    Love Alejandro. Dude is great. Had the pleasure of starting my Saturday at Bonnaroo '09 with him at the noon hour and I knew you wouldn't be disappointed with him live. Wish I had the chance to see him again.
    Has anyone listened to the new album yet? I haven't had the chance to get it
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    He played some tracks off of it last night and they were killer.

    He also played an instrumental piece with the entire band dedicated to his father and it was probably some of the most beautiful music I've ever heard in my life.

    I love this forum. I had never heard of him before so just youtubed him and came across his band's performance of Castanets from Jazzfest 08. I have no idea if that song is indicative of his sound or not, but I quite liked it! I plan to check out more of his stuff.

    Thanks for the new music recommendation! :)

    Must be that Houston show right? That was the first time I heard about Alejandro. I only own his previous two albums, but would sure like to get more.

    yeah, it was the Houston show, for the "Magic tour." I got his "real animal" album shortly after. Good album. The song was called: "Always a friend," my bad, that was a typo, up there on the "waiting on a friend".

    Springsteen must have had special guests throughout the tour, a couple of buddies of mine, saw him do " glory days" with Jon Bon Jovi the night before in Dallas.
