I was there to listen to them. They were fabulous, of course. The way they handled their guitars was fantastic - and as always with extraordinarly people - it looked so easy. They have played together for 40 years and their teamwork is precise and perfect.
Some things that fascinated me about them were their facial expressions, which gave an extra dimension to the music. And of course their "tics", if one could say that. One brother would stroke his forehead in between every piece of music. The other brother would moisten his fingers with his lips just before the first chord of every piece.
From the beginning these gestures did probably have a practical meaning. Now I believe that they are just a way of getting started. So many athletes have similar habits, almost as a trademark.
The brothers were dressed in similar clothes, but yet different. The older brother -living in San Fransisco - had a more traditional shirt, while the younger - living in Brussels - had long hair and a slightly more creative style. They showed their different personalities and at the same time nurtured their common brand in a good way.
Humble and extremely talented. What a nice combination.
