Fabulous, spirited and lively

Kenwood House @

- 10/07/2011 @

Setlist: Bamboleo, Djobi-Djoba, Volare, Bem Bem Maria, most of the best of album.... @

Opening act(s): Mano De Dios - "hand of god". Ok as a warm up, but not my cup of tea, main song was something about sending an ex-girlfriend to burn in hell!?! @

It is a shame to see so many negative reviews re: Gipsy Kings, when I think they all come from the Saturday show where it rained, which to me seems to be incompatible with the venue layout and sound systems.

On the friday, fortunately the weather held out, and the sound was amazing, the atmosphere uplifting, and although Hotel California was missing, so many other hits were played it was amazing.

We had so much fun dancing with random other people in groups nearby, people had travelled from Barcelona to see them and seemed happy. The time did pass quickly and I wish they could have played an even longer set, but it was still about an hour and a half by the time they finished their lovely extended set.

Re: language barrier mentioned elsewhere, the band are of spanish origin brought up in france, and all their songs (bar Volare and parts of Hotel California) are in spanish so I would not necessarily expect much english dialogue, more for the music. They did speak somewhat with audience in french and spanish with a token "good evening" and "we love you" in english so personally I think overall good show on their part. I would definitely go again, just disappointed there's no shows left this year!

Separate note on venue: Fantastic being able to have picnic, deckchairs comfy though could do with an inch extra leg room, more if people in front decide to recline their chairs! I do wonder whether Kenwood house might consider rows of deckchairs in semicircle around the edges at livelier concerts as lots of people do tend to get up and go to front and aisles to dance.

A fantastic evening (and afternoon), which would have been improved by knowing that the parking was ample and free (the venue site stated limited or park in rail station!), also to have known what facilities were available, how the picnic thing could be made to work, and... where within the grounds/building, the event was actually to be held.

The band were wonderful, perhaps not quite as punchy as I had expected, but a joy,

The whole experience would have been perfect if it had not been for people standing up and trying to dance infront of other guests. It clearly stated on the ticket that if you wished to dance then there were areas specially left clear where you could go and have a great time, unfortunately some people were extremely selfish and stood infront of other people making it impossible to watch the performance. It could have been avoided by an anouncement reminding people of the provision of dancing areas and also reinforced by the staff if they saw it was happening and spoiling the enjoyment of others. I feel particularly strongly about this as some of the guests were elderly and unable to stand up for any length of time and therefore their view was of somebody's backside which I'm sure they would have not paid to see! I would like to say how impressed we were with Continental Airlines sponsorship of the event, thorughly well organised with very friendly staff.

Having seen the Gypsy Kings three times in the past at other venues, my family and I were extremely dissapointed by this highly anticipated concert held in such a wonderful location. In brief, the amplification of the lead Guitarist was barely audible, the other four guitarists sounded muffled as did all of the vocals.

The overal volume of the band was far too low and because as our seats were at the rear of the auditorium in the covered area we could constantly hear the audience talking throughout the entire performance.

Sadly there was also no crowd control and within two songs people satreted to stand up and block the view for the majority ! In my opinion the lower area of the auditorium should have been standing only. In this instance all those who wanted to dance could have done so without ruining everyones evening.

Very dissapointed for such expensive tickets !

I would like a refund !!!

The setting was lovely,however you do need to be directly in front of the stage to get a good view of the musicians.

The support group was extremely dull & dreary,and in no way did it prepare you for the GK's,quite dissapointing.

Lastly,it stated on the tickets and the website,that picnic chairs & tables were NOT allowed,but when we arrived everyone was being allowed through with them,this was also very annoying as the evening was wet,and could have been made a bit more comfortable by having somewhere to sit.

Open air at Kenwood House with the Gipsy Kings -- it was all looking so good, sunny music, balmy summer evening, picnic all packed up. Then it rained, not a deluge but just constant drizzle with occasional extra drizzling for good measure. And somehow it did not work any more -- umbrellas up everywhere, nobody dancing, a hard to see stage and a band who, let's face it, have no stage presence; they must have addressed all of 20 words to the audience and the rest of it was a bit like listening to a "best of" CD.

It's fair to say the Gipsy Kings aren't my favourite band; it's sure to say that even with the best goodwill in the world, the Gypsy Kings in the rain are a damp squib.

I have been to Kenwood House concerts in the past and its always been a great experience. The Gypsy Kings played most of their hits but it did feel the finished early and could play a few more of their hits. Also the set was mainly instrumental and they ddn't speak to the crowd. It could be a language barrier but I don't know spanish but I to love their songs. Not forgetting the weather was very British (wet) which didn't help the crowd to get in the swing of things.

Learnt to love gypsy kings from my old man and they still have what it takes to put on a seriouly enjoyable concert. The gypsy kings brought the good music, kenwood brought a great venue and the UK weather brought the the rain.

Not convinced they really gave 100% - no acknowledgement of the abysmal weather conditions that fans had to endure before and during the concert - obviously the weather was not their fault but for some sort of recognition would not have gone amiss or at least performing for more than the 75 minutes we got. A one song encore - we were not surprised as 75 minutes is all we got when we saw them at the Tower of London, but several people around us heard to say "is that it?" as they sloped off to their nice dry dressing rooms.
Come on guys - you may be getting on but surely you could extend it to at least an hour and a half and a few more of the old favourites wouldn't have gone amiss - apart from that good but don't think I'll be forking out to see them live again!

The music was fantastic! My boyfriend says live band is normally not so good,
but he thoroughly enjoyed it.
Although, it was a bit off that they did not appear till 8:30pm (Supposed to start at 7:30 pm.) as well as horrible weather.
They should have sold some CDs as well.
I also thought Carluccio could have done with bigger stand, selling some drinks and
small package of picnic foods as well as delivering full packages.

I have seen the Gypsy Kings a number of times and I must say that this was not one of their best shows. The set was particularly short and the music was not loud enough. The weather was terrible so that did not help but all in all, although there were some good songs toward the end, it was all a bit disappointing.
