Even if you find their technically impressive acoustic workouts enjoyable, you'd have to admit that Rodrigo y Gabriela are a highly unlikely late night TV guest. It's not like they have backing dancers, a hot new single to promote, or even lyrics. They're just all acoustic workouts, all the time. But I guess since Geore Lopez's show is on TBS, getting Rodrigo y Gabriela is a huge get compared to the dog trainer who was probably going to be on instead. Like I've said before, this is obviously very impressive-I could never, ever do this, ever--but there's something missing here. Maybe I haven't had enough Tecate today.

I don't think there's anything missing at all. I went to a RyG show and felt like I was watching a three-ring circus! The only reason people need backup dancers and other visuals is because the main act isn't enough. Not the case here.
This is cool if you're about to take a nap.
It wasn't their best performance, though it did get better towards the end.
