Sat 8 Dec – Divididos

The Divididos concert in the Teatro Teletón was a total blast. They played incredible and showed why they are called aplanadora del rock. They are only three guys and sound like ten!

Ricardo Mollo did the usual tricks and when he started playing Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Child, the audience kindly provided with a carrot, two trainers, and a toothbrush. Mollo stopped playing contemplating the accessories on the stage, and picked up the carrot and one of the trainers. Then he said the audience "It's divided tonight, eh? What would it be tonight? Carrot or trainers"?. Then he answered himself and chose to use the carrot as a pick for the opening solos of the song. The poor carrot was completely shredded in the first minute minute, and then came the usual playing with the teeth, and finally, the outro solo with the toothbrush. I think even the security staff was more focused on his playing than in taking care of the audience. At least during Voodoo Child.

As I arrived relatively early to the venue, I got place in the first row, right in front of the stage. Once the show finished, Mollo approached the audience and gave out lots of his picks to the reachable people, so I got one! Not that I am a freak fan, but it's always great when one of the guitar players you admire the most shakes hands with you and gives you one of his picks. So, thank you Ricardo!
