Reina del Cid, Dunn Brothers Coffee, June4, 2011, Grand Avenue, Saint Paul

This is one of two, maybe three, videos that I will upload for Reina del Cid's stage performance on the night of June 4, 2011 at Dunn Brothers Coffee on Grand Avenue in Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA. The band stage was pretty small, something a bit bigger than a phone booth but Reina and fellow band members had a decent sized crowd.

thanks so much for these, Greg .. the cover is Wild Nights, by Van Morrison

[GregoryLog]

@ammiles43, I certainly know some of Van Morrison's songs such as 'Light My Fire' The tune was familiar, so thank you for putting a handle to the song and artist. I usually go with the 'Science and Nature' questions on Trivial Pursuit, something I can hold my own at.

I haven't been on here that much in the last few weeks but I want to thank you for sharing Reina's performances with her fans. I am quite confident that in the future Reina's live performances will not be limited to the Minneapolis area for I predict that Reina will go nationwide and possibly worldwide.

@elviejoinez, long time no see! Reina definitively has signature type material, so there is no mistaking it for boiled and mashed potatoes served cold. Reina's audience may be a little more niche, but her artistic style does stand out, so I can't help but think that is a huge positive long term. Reina does nice cover songs but getting too good at them seems more like spinning your wheels in place than anything. Reina has great potential and I hope her helmsmanship matches her artistic abilities

What is the name of the last song Greg ? Is it a cover ? :D

[GregoryLog]

@Sosthene57, the tune is very famaliar, I am reasonibly sure it is a cover song. One of the other covers Reina did is a Bob Dylan song, of that I am certain. My music trivia is pretty terrible. I do recongize many songs. but I don't remember the name of the song, or what band performed it. I will try and improve on that over the course of time Pascal.

this is awesome!!

Not sure if this is the right place to comment on the coffee shop video. Another great cover, you can't go wrong with Van the Man. It was so great to see that big smile during 'Library Girl.' I'd love to see Tina do a full 16 bar solo, it sure looks like she's got the chops for it (at least I think 8 is the longest one I've seen her do...). Keep the faith!

@FabMusicFlow Ditto!

Ok, what`s wrong with this picture ? Don´t you see ? This girl is like a huge diamond in front of a light bulb a and she is also like an alias for determination. What in the world is she doing with that small crowd ? I think she`s about to crack a hole in to the music industry.

In my opinion this stage performance is the best I've seen yet! I found myself getting caught-up in these songs, similar to the way I feel with her videos. I think Reina and the rest of the band seemed to be more at ease up there too. I would love to have seen this live……though with less people talking ;).

Thank you Greg!
