Other than some glitches with the sound, this was a wonderful concert. Lot of energy and non-stop entertainment. It was difficult to stay seated when you felt like jumping and dancing.
Caetano Veloso is difficult to predict. Sat, Apr 10, 2010, at Lisner Auditorium, he appeared with a very young trio consisting of a lead electric guitarist, electric base (and keyboard) player, and a very impressive drummer. The drummer was called Calado or Callado (meaning silent), which is à propos for this quiet rock n’ roll drummer. However, Caetano was at his best singing a tango (Volver?) and a couple of songs with his acoustic guitar, including a lovely duet with the drummer on his interpretation of Billie Jean by Michael Jackson combined with a Beatles’ stanza finale from Eleanor Rigby. In his mid-sixties, slender and physically fit, performing pirouettes with his voice, Caetano is impressive. He continues to produce a good show, this time with a parsimonious band of young rockers. I prefer to hear Caetano playing with acoustic instruments, and using a percussionist in addition to a drummer. His lead guitarist needs to come out of his shell and play more melody. Unlike Bob Dylan, who appears with age to have become mushy and uninterested on the world outside music, Caetano electrified the audience when he played Guantanamo.
Excellent Concert! He is awesome. Too bad that we had to be standing all the time : (
This was my first time and was an experience. The range and sense of musicality of Veloso are unmtached. So much love and tenderness in his voice.
I was expected more from him, it was disappointed.
It is always good to hear the great quality from Veloso, specially since has been away of NY for a long time...
There is no need for words. Caetano is a master! He played mostly new songs, but some of the classics as well. The venue was somehow too blunt for his charisma and energy, but the crowd enjoyed every moment! It was unforgettable...
Beautiful music and pure joy courtesy of Caetano and the band Cê.
The show was very nice. He was friendly and the people was very exiting.
It was awesome!! Out of this world!! He is an inspiration to people around the world!!
Amazing!! I love this place and I had very very very malty and sweet time :)
OK so, it wasn't bad. Terminal 5 needs to spread the sound a little bit. I was hoping that Caetano would have played a longer modern classic Bossa Nova repertoire. After being in an Air concert in terminal 5, I will need a little bit more.
Caetano's quartet, with three young sidemen supporting him gave a master class of total musical artistry. He's a unique musician that covers all bases, from acoustic bossa nova to mega-decibel rock adventures.
When he came into the stage without even saying hi, the music started playing and he started singing and it was a completely unforgettable experience after that. The lighting mixed with the music was really well pre-produced. He is a really simple guy that likes to share his music with the world, no need to have a stage with lots of decorations, just one hang-glider and a video projection on the back...amazing!
Caetano is like good wine, he gets better with age. The evening was absolutely vibrant, magical.
Caetano Veloso rolled into New York with a young, three-piece backing band and played a fine set under a hang-glider backdrop. His singing was sharp, and his playing was at ease and he was having a good time dancing about. Although his performance was excellent, I would liked to have seen an opening act or a longer concert (it was one hour and 45 minutes). Also, I would liked to have heard more of his early Tropicalia songs (although he played two from his 1969 album) and more in English because I don't understand Portuguese very well.
This is the best concert I have ever been to! and I have been to many. Caetano is amazing, such diversity, such talent. Do not miss this!
He is the greatest brazilian musician ever! A great interpreter, his stage presence is amazing.
It was one of those musical nights ......Caetano was as always sublime and heart touching. More of him soon please.
With his music, of course. He moves like water combined with Nijinsky. Voice in excellent form last night, even got better as the evening progressed. I have never seen anyone so at home, in total ownership of the stage as his playground.
