Baaba Maal knocked it out of the ballpark
by Africa1 on 4/30/10Lisner Auditorium - WashingtonI have seen him live before in concert but last night was exceptional. The show was fast moving. The energy and enthusiasm of the audience never was present throughout the concert. People were up on their feet clapping after the first couple of songs. People were dancing on stage with Baaba and his group and also dancing in the aisles. Everyone obviously was having a fabulous time. My one complaint is with Lisner. I sat in the Orchestra section and after the show had already began -- I had to stand up and walk out into the aisle THREE times to let late comers get to their seats. I told the usher the third time that "This is ridiculous. Once the concert starts -- they should not let the late comers find their seats until after an artist has finished his/her song.
