One of the most surprising aspects of the concert was the remarkable presence of a very young audience, deeply connected to a sound rooted in clean, polished rock 'n' roll, with Javi Alzola's saxophone alternating the spotlight with Carlos Raya's guitar, a devotee of the barricades of... riff and the rhythms of JJ Cale and Dire Straits. An audience, by the way, both male and female, with many young and not-so-young couples intensely experiencing the concert.
