Luis Miguel at Concord Pavillion

Maria and I saw Luis Miguel in concert at the Concord Pavillion last night. We had excellent seats about 7 rows from the stage...terrific view.

We first started to like Luis Miguel after hearing the song, "No Se Tu," in the movie, "Speechless," with Geena Davis and Michael Keaton. Their car gets stuck in the middle of nowhere and they hitch a ride in the back of a truck and this song is playing on the car radio while they talk about their relationship. It becomes "their song" and is playing when they make up at the end of the movie, as well.

In any case, it's a really romantic song that got Maria and me exploring more of Luis Miguel's songbook. Obviously, "No Se Tu" is not the only romantic ballad in his repertoire (watch/listen to "O Tu O Ninguna," which was obviously filmed in San Francisco). For years, now, we've enjoyed a LOT of his CD collections. He's one of the few artists that we've always wanted to see, but hadn't...well, until yesterday.

And Concord Pavillion is a wonderful venue for this kind of music, being an outdoor amphitheater. We had a great time...
