Saw him some months ago and he will be back in town next weekend.. This dude is incredible. The Cds he recorded are so good, but still far from the level of goodness he can give you during a live concert.

Long live to Xavier Rudd...

    I've been lucky to see him 3 times this year....West Hollywood, Boston and New York. Every show...dynamic.

    I wish him so much success but at the same time I love him at the level that you can still see him in the small club venue like you do now. I almost don't want to lose that.

    i am falling in love with Xavier Rudd, i been listening to one of his albums a lot food in the belly, and i must say he is brilliant, he is the most amazing new talent i've heard in a long time, of course i started to get into him like 2 weeks after he toured, well hopefully he will be back soon, and i hear he's a mad Didgeridoo player

    I love Xavier Rudd. Solace is still such a great record.

    “Green Spandex” is always guaranteed to bring me to tears though...

    https://youtu.be/EZzXmt7xs84

    I guess this is the rushed goodbye
    That I thought would never come
    The woman who lit the light
    For a family in the dark
    Starring at the mirror
    I see your smile through my own
    Your spark embedded deep inside
    Will give me strength
    Will give us hope

    And I'll never lose your touch
    No I'll never lose touch

    This will take me a while
    Because I miss your smile
    I guess I new your time would come
    But for now I miss your smile
    It's gonna take me a while

    Thank you for your loyal stance
    Green spandex and crazy style
    Thank you for the happiness
    That you gave to our lives
    Although now our hearts are cracked
    And our tears are slow to dry
    We must count ourselves
    The lucky ones
    For we were with you in your prime

    And I'll never lose your touch
    No I'll never lose touch

    Please stay in touch
    Because I need you in my heart
    Please stay in touch
    I need your touch

    It was wonderful. Beautiful setting. Gorgeous weather. Music for the weary soul.

    Only for Another Brick in the Wall if I remember. Franti livestreamed the show, so you can see it here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OM0nBqC-RUQ 
    He comes out at around 1:21. I'm bummed that they didn't livestream Xavier's set as well. There are some youtube videos of his set but the crowd is too loud for them to be too enjoyable. Still, good memories. At the end of Franti's set he brings his brother out to play the trumpet. That really capped the night. It was awesome.

    For those wanting to see Xavier's didge prowess, this is amazing https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=QRBCzUPDUVA

    What's really sad is that if I had planned better, Xavier was even closer to my home the next night in a really small venue. :bawling: Next time.
