The Mavericks - Amarillo, Texas - 9/21/23
Last Wednesday wifey and I trekked up to Amarillo to catch a Mavericks concert on Thursday the 21st of September. The show was at the beautiful Globe-News Center Performance Hall in downtown Amarillo.
This was one of the best shows I've seen, and I've seen a lot of them. It was high energy, excellent musicianship, and must I say, great vocals from frontman Raul Malo.
Anyway, I recorded some of the show for your viewing pleasure, along with some photos. You may get a feel for the excitement that reverberated through the auditorium, both from the band and the audience. We were seated center stage, 5 rows back, 20 feet from the band.


Here's the video I took, apologies for the slight jerkiness, I couldn't help but dance and my arms felt like they were going to fall off holding the camera up for so long. They're best viewed in full screen mode.


I thought that maybe you Mavericks fans would appreciate a little taste of this outstanding show. It's Sunday evening and my head is still buzzing from the greatness of it all.
Enjoy!

Great representation of the concert
Can get the feel of the excitement by your vids.

A mind that does not detest bad government is foolish.

to go see them again, you would!
I bet $2.00.

The drummer is Dino Malo
Yes, Raul's oldest son. I found out by sneaking on FB and checking out their page and looking at the older posts. So, a bit of sleuthing! Then I found this link to a podcast about Dino! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/feeding-the-senses-episode-36-dino...
I am dancing around the room to the last video, AGAIN. THANK YOU!!!!

Oh wow...
you are correct. I did a little more searching and found this:
Thank you for that tidbit of information.
PS - We have tickets for a New Years Eve party with The Mavericks at Gruene Hall, near Austin. It's a small venue and ought to be a blast!
