In Concert at the Hollywood Bowl

The Hollywood Bowl is so special, you know. Why is the Hollywood Bowl such a special place?

Thomas

Yeah. You know, I remember when I was first hired there. I said that I was-- I remember the driver bringing me to the Bowl and he said-- he said it-- It's a very special place. That's just something that people would say. He lives in that town. But, you know, one of my favorite things to do is when I'm going home after a concert, is to roll the window down and listen and watch all the people leaving the Bowl. Because there is this tremendous spirit of unity....Eighteen thousand people. How does that happen that everyone feels like they are giant family and community and they could be way up in the nosebleed section or down on the floor. And there are people there who have plenty and there are people there who are starving college students and yet they all find a way to become one giant family around great music and it makes it-- it's so... counterintuitive that you could get that many people to be that united in an evening. That's a remarkable experience as far as I am concerned. And, you know, the other thing too is that for us on stage We feel that energy. I know you do.

Gustavo

The feeling. Yes.

Thomas

And we feel that we have a-- I have a sense that we are theirs when we're on that stage, you know, that we belong to them and they know that they belong to us and that's also a remarkable gift.
