I am posting this with Raphael Saadiq and his singers Erica and B.J. sitting in our trailer cooling off after their set. One of my favorite artists of all-time looking over my shoulder as I write. This is how I define pressure.



A quick look and video going up later today.

Despite nearly suffering heat stroke, Saadiq and his singers rose to the occasion. Here are two video gems for Saadiq fans:


Saadiq performs his Lucy Pearl classic, "Dance Tonight." 


Following their bigger stage set, the band moved to the cozy Sonic Stage where many of the Saadiq diehards followed. Here's a clip from the end of his performance of "Still Ray." Saadiq and Co. did not disappoint today.
