"The Mutants" known as Os Mutantes had a concert in the Stern Grove park about a 2 miles away from me. So I went with other people- snuck in on a really steep hill; pressed arms against people with stamps for the concert and we were in! 
These guys were great on improvisation!
Quote:The late 60's in Brazil produced an explosion of creativity that is still reverberating throughout the world. And Os Mutantes... were the most outrageous band of that period. Their creative cannabalism produced psychadelic gems unlike anything else, and they sound as relevant today as anything else anywhere. They were exactly what their name implies-- a mutant genetic recombination of elements of John Cage, The Beatles, and Bossa Nova. A creature that was too strange and beautiful to live for very long, but too strong to ever fade away.
It lives again. Be prepared. -- David Byrne
Too bad I had to go to the bathroom every 10 minutes due to a bet that I couldn't drink a gallon of milk in an hour; which I flawlessly won in 40 minutes.
The percussionists were hardcore, the lead guitars were amazing, and even the tambarine was doing it for me-- just maybe a little 'too' 60's for me. But it was a lot of fun no less.
