Raphael at DAR Constitution Hall

Are you passionate about what you do? If you could, would you still be doing your thing at 81? Granted, music isn't exactly hard labor, but touring and getting up on stage still busting some moves at that point in life isn't common. There are at least two things that are probably going to wow you if you're in the crowd to watch Raphael on Friday, February 28th. The first thing you'll notice is his voice has not left him at all! He's out on stage singing like it's the 1970s all over again. By the way, although he's got new music with the Victoria album, he'll likely sing all of the classics. His best tracks are so good that newer generations have heard covers of those songs from artists who are long in the tooth themselves. It's such a strange and beautiful dynamic!

The second element that makes these Raphael concerts so great is the passion that he still brings to the stage. This is something that you just can't buy! It leaves crowds all over the Americas in awe still when he's on stage. He's still got it, and it's hard to believe that at this stage in his career. What's undeniable, though, is that there are no guarantees he'll be back in DC next year even though it's oddly one of his favorite stops! The Spaniard has played some incredible shows here over the years, and this upcoming event promises to fall along the same lines.

The seating layout at the DAR Constitution Hall makes picking the right spot for any night a little tricky. You have different sections within the floor on this night. Ideally, if you want to be up close to Raphael, choose something near the middle and obviously near the stage. The seats on the upper level are always a good call as well. Keep in mind, though, that a centered position in one of these could mean you're a bit further away from the stage. Look into all of this closely.
