As part of their current U.S. tour, Mexican guitar duo Rodrigo y Gabriela performed to a capacity crowd at the Hollywood Palladium on May 7.
They played a 90-minute set that included a large chunk of their latest studio album, 9 Dead Alive, along with choice selections from the previous three albums. These included covers of Metallica's "Orion" (which got the crowd on their feet) and Radiohead's "Creep."
Every time Rodrigo y Gabriela release a new album or come to town for a show, their musicianship seems to reach newer levels of brilliance. This time they brought along some visual projections to go with the new tunes, adding another dimension to their already incredible live show.
Check out some photos from the show below — and be sure to check out Rodrigo y Gabriela's new album for a delightful dose of rock-inspired classical guitar. You also can read a detailed review of the show right here.
Andrew Bansal is a writer who has been running his own website, Metal Assault, since early 2010, and has been prolific in covering the hard rock and heavy metal scene by posting interviews, news, reviews and pictures on his website — with the help of a small group of people. He briefly moved away from the Los Angeles scene and explored metal in India, but he is now back in LA continuing from where he left off.
