Adrian Legg Plays @ CSPS - Legion Arts

Adrian Legg played last night (30MAR2010) @ Legion Arts | CSPS

I'm really happy I spent those $16.15 ($14.00 for the ticket + 2.15 service fee). Tuesday night, at 7:00PM Adrian Legg Played at Legion Arts (CSPS), downtown Cedar Rapids. 

It was the second time for me in fron  of Adrian Legg, but the first one so close. Legion Arts is a small venue, it allowed us to feel the evening very personal.

Compared to my first Adrian Legg concert, in the Sunken Gardens, San Antonio (18OCT1996) the vibe felt totally different. In San Antonio the venue was bigger, much more bigger, and Adrian Legg was opening for the G3 concert (Joe Satriani, Steve Vai & Eric Johnson). This time, it was all about Mr. Legg and his music.

The Setup was really simple. It was him and an acoustic guitar, he used one headphone in which I guess he was listening to a metronome.  

Between song and song he would pause for a minute for tell a story, funny most of the times, that was related to the next piece he was about to play.

If you get a chance to see this guitar virtuoso don't miss it, you'll be amazed on how he tunes/detunes the instrument as needed while he plays.

I haven't found clips in Youtube from that day, and I don't remember if I did any video. I took 2 pictures during the show (which I'm including at the bottom of this post). Here you can see one of the videos I found from a different show, in a different place.
