Rodrigo y Gabriela @ Barrowland

A mere 24 hours after Led Zeppelin's 'historic' comeback, Mexican duo Rodrigo Sanchez and Gabriela Quintero are cheekily teasing a much smaller, and more frugal Barrowland audience with the opening bars of the rock legends' signature tune. However, it's stopped by Rodrigo almost instantly; 'No Stairway, denied!'. RYG's effortless fusion of their heavy rock roots with fast-paced, acoustic guitar dynamics amounts to more than the odd segue of classic rock-riffs that keeps tonight's audience enthralled. On their own material, Gabriela shows some incredible percussive-guitar playing, while Rodrigo, with breathless dexterity, ekes out the last modicum of life from his Spanish six-string, all played out on big screen projectors for our mesmerization. There's the odd lull, such as solo spots proving that elongated guitar-wankery translates no better on acoustic than it does on electric. However, a Latino flourished medley of Hendrix, White Stripes and, yes, at last, the Zep, sends home some very happy amigos. [Darren Carle]
