Rodriguez Live at Best Kept Secret Festival 2018

If I look at Rodriguez's face, I realize that he really looks like my father's face, haha. Not too same enough, but it is very fascinating showing this concert, even though it was in 2018. But the energy has been the same. He sang not only his own, but covered some other musicians like: Your Song (Elton John), Light My Fire (The Doors), Sixteen Tons (Tennessee Ernie Ford), Somebody To Love (Jefferson Airplane), Love Me Or Leave Me (Nina Simone), Let's Think About Livin' (Bob Luman). 

FYI, Best Kept Secret Festival is held in the village in Netherland name Hilvarenbeek, in the west of Eindhoven. From Rodriguez's concert, the landscape of the venue is really beautiful. It is the concert I dream of near the river or sea. Haha. One audience member said, "I love you, Rordiguez!" 


And he answered: 

"Well, I love you back. And love is strong. Love never fails.
Yeah, you gotta practice peace, man. That's how you do it. Smile.
Is there one person in the audience tonight that wants to live a secret life? You're an easy crowd. All you gotta do is just keep breathing it out. That's it.
You know about the mystery of life? The mystery of life. You never know when it's gonna be over. The mystery of life.
Thank you very much. I was born in 1942. So I gotta use my senior plan.
I'm against 16-year-old men in Amsterdam. Thank you very much. 
See, I'm a political musical and social issues, you know, you see all the time. So I'm looking forward to a new presidency. Merci beaucoup.
Give power to the people. Thank you."

You hear his bass on his music, it's rock!!!! 

He said too at the concert:

"Thank you so much. You've got to remember. You've got to remember your life. I can't forget that. I love you, back. Thank you.
Like I said, you're an easy crowd, man. Thank you for being so patient with me. Sugar Man is a descriptive song, not a prescriptive song.
Get your hugs, stay off of drugs. Stay smart, don't stop, listen to your mother and father, you'll be alright. Their thoughts and ideas, no matter how suppressive their thoughts or ideas are, or how ethnocentric their thoughts and ideas are, hey man, you've only got so much time to figure it out.
Thank you."
