Ram\u00f3n\u00a0Ayala fans don’t like to wait.<\/p>\n

Doors opened at 7 p.m. for his Saturday night show at Toyota Center, part of the Historia De Un Final Tour, a farewell for the 79-year-old norte\u00f1o icon.\u00a0Just 10 minutes\u00a0past the advertised 8:30 p.m. start time, the crowd was already restless.<\/p>\n

A man in the lower section stood up, clapped his hands loudly and repeatedly shouted, “Let’s go!” Another seated next to me asked if I knew when Ayala was starting.<\/p>\n

“I took a nap for this,” he said.<\/p>\n

When the venue began playing Ayala’s prerecorded music, the anticipation only grew. Just after 9 p.m., the stage came to life,\u00a0a series of connected LED screens that morphed from a castle to a recounting of Ayala’s career of more\u00a0than six decades, from Cornelio Reyna and Los Rel\u00e1mpagos del Norte to Los Bravos del Norte.<\/p>\n

Ayala was walked out, waved to the crowd, then took a seat center stage, where he remained for the show’s roughly 90 minutes. He was in good spirits, his energy buoyed by the crowd’s nonstop enthusiasm. The show was far from a sell out, and the uppermost sections were closed off by black curtains. But the crowd roared along to “Un Pu\u00f1o de Tierra” and “Baraja de Oro,” making the venue sound entirely full. The LED animation was an explosion of bright colors and added to the vibe.<\/p>\n
