Rodriguez Tickets

I saw Rodriguez in Sydney at the Enmore Theatre the week before last. What a fantastic night. Saw him with the Break which was a real experience. All our family has loved Rodriguez since the 70s in Australia, Mum and Dad who are now in their late 70s themselves. They loved his gritty lyrics and wonderful voice quality, telling it like it is.Then we found him again in Searching for Sugarman which I saw twice at the theatre and now own. Reliving his music has given our family much joy! What a legend. He sang all my favourites faithfully and despite his jokes about being a 'solid 70' he gave a wonderful performance. It's wonderful seeing Rodriguez, who we have listened to for years, finally getting the recognition he deserves worldwide. We are visiting NY and my son has surprised me with a ticket. it will be the highlight of my trip. Can't wait for tonight!

"Waiting For Sugar Man" was the most fascinating music documentary I've ever seen. I'm hopeful that the Oscar nomination will bring even more people into the incredible story of Detroit's magnetic musician Rodriguez. His songs are like a combination of Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Donovan and Curtis Mayfield, recounting stories of the streets with melody and a gritty sense of humor. It is inexplicable to me that Rodriguez has flown under the radar so long with his songwriting gifts and compelling voice. Can't wait to see him in New York City. Get on this!

Rodriguez was plain and simple an absolute experience. If you're looking for a new sound that's ironically been around for decades, and a humble, gracious artist, that played for over two hours, then go see Rodriguez (Sugar Man). What a cool night. I hear he's playing NYC come spring...count me in!

My wife and I drove nearly six hours to Cleveland to see this show. It was fantastic!! The story behind the music and the man is great, but his lyrics and the soul behind this man are unbeatable. We won´t ever forget this concert. On a side note to purists – don´t expect laser light shows and teams of people setting up amazing acoustics and synthesizers in perfect venues. It is a man and his guitar in it´s purest form. What you will find is his daughters and grand kids are most of his staff and this made the show even more special for us. We will certainly travel to see another show! Can´t wait.

Came to see Rodriguez and had to wait a long time to hear him. Did not dissapoint me with his clear voice and songs that grab the heart. Traveled 5hrs to see him and would do it again. I grew up in Los Angeles and have seen The Doors to Hendrix and this was my favorite show ever.

All of the performers were well worth watching. The final even, Rodgriguez, was all we hoped it would be. He is a very special soul, wouldn't have missed it!

Four performers whose average age was 70.3 years shared the El Rey stage Friday night in Los Angeles. Problem- old people (we fans) need to sit. The headliner, Rodriguez, came on stage 3.5 hours after the door s opened and we were already agitated by that time. A DJ filled in between sets and he obviously had a record collection that was second to none, problem is no one was there for vinyl discovery.No head bobbing or toe tapping was to be found. I summed up the night thinking, 'Now I know how the folks trapped on the ride at Knotts felt'. Hyun, the elder statesman of the crowd, impressed with his virtuoso skills but there was really no connection with the mostly non Korean crowd. Ok, Rodriguez finally takes the stage. He seemed to be obsessed with tuning his guitar and experienced a few mis-starts. Most of the awkward silence moments were filled with South African accented yeels from the crowd, "We love you Rodriguez". The band was able enough but there were between song huddles that led one to believe they were winging it. We were not treated to a show of a polished stage presense. Instead, a guy with a guitar who had some songs to offer. The two encore songs, "I Wonder" and "I think of You" were truely the highlight of the night. It all came together for a grand finale but by no means (other than the story) was it great.

Terrific show, terrific intervie, and terrific venue. My first time to Landmark, was thoroughly impressed with the staff. Do they pay them enough? Everything else there impressive, too. Rodriguez did Q&A after the film. Great time!

the sound mixing was something from high school, the "announcers" were painful. how many times did they need to introduce THEMSELVES???? too bad such fine artists were subject to such crappy support

Went to see the great Sixto Rodriguez at the El Rey Theatre last night. His set was last in a long night of celebration for the 10-year -anniversary of the "Light In The Attic" record label. Rodriguez was escorted to the stage at 11:30PM and proceeded to play for his adoring fans (many of them native South Africans) who loved his every move. I, unfortunately, didn't love many of his moves. The band was shoddy (and out of tune), the sound was "HISTORICALLY" terrible AND Mr. Rodriguez was disconnected and all over the place. He even tried to pull off an acoustic set of "I Only Have Eyes For You," "Blue Suede Shoes/Whol Lotta Shakin/Good Golly Miss Molly." OY. The band seemed shocked and the crowd was polite, but starting to leave in droves. I was happy to hear "Sugar Man," "Can't Get Away," "I Think Of You" and other great songs from his 40+-Year-Old 2-album catalog (which I purchased on vinyl last night). I was also happy to hear that he will be featured on 60 Minutes in October, but I will never pay money to see him perform live again. This was NOT a professional concert. This was a lot of people rightfully celebrating a terrific story. I'm glad I got to see him in person, but it was NOT WORTH ALL THE HYPE LIVE. I will enjoy my new vinyl and be glad I saw the incredible "Searching For Sugar Man" movie twice with my girl.

I am an old folkie from the sixties and never heard of Rodriguez until 3 weeks ago when I saw his interview for the movie. I played his music and found out he was in Washington DC the same night I was there. I loved the concert and bought all the cd's. My wife put it best by saying that it was a happening and that it was. He is a gentle soul with words of a poet

The movie "Searching for Sugar Man" made me curious to go see him live. The cleverness of his lyrics, the feeling was great. Sad that we never heard him when he and I were younger. He has real talent and much, much better than a lot of the folk music of the sixties. Good show. I'd love to hear him in a smaller venue.

I shouldn't have expected that the live performance in 2012 would be as good as the movie performance from a decade ago or the recordings from 40 years ago. It was sweet to see Rodriguez but his playing was poor and his voice is gone.
