Late Friday night, this was the text message I received from a friend:

Raphael Saadiq OMG!

Even more interesting than my 40-year-old friend using the term "OMG," was the fact that Friday's Raphael Saadiq show was a pretty special event. Anyone I knew who made it to the Wonder that night, spent the weekend raving about the bumping vintage soul of Saadiq. Even our Minh Tran, who took these excellent snaps, called the show "killer," and he doesn't use that term lightly...

great photos. i had the worst experience at a raphael saadiq concert a few years back. the crowd was, dare i sound like an old lady, riff raffish and i got pushed a lot. maybe i'll give him another chance.
