Jose Gonzalez at the Palau, 10th March 2009
My friend Vicky had a spare ticket going for Jose Gonzalez, so I joined her last night for a concert at the Palau de la Musica Catalana. This is an absolutely beautiful, ornate old building tucked away in the business district.
I'm not a huge fan of Gonzalez, though I do like a few of his songs and adore Heartbeats. The concert was good - he has a great voice live and had a good rapport with the audience. I was introduced to some really good new songs from his new album. He did a fantastic cover of Teardrop by Massive Attack, but I was waiting and waiting for Heartbeats and was amused when some girl in the audience shouted a request for it.
And it's just such a nice song, so beautifully delivered. It was the perfect song for that magnificient, dreamy hall. I found my thoughts drifting as I listened, lulled by the song, the ambience and the beauty around me into a really content, brief peace. The song and that magic time lasted all of a couple of minutes, but it was so worth it. Fantastic.
