Our first LOS LOBOS show!!!

Los Lobos
Del Este Los Angeles
8/3/2006: N.Hampton, MA

Los Lobos were on the loose last night. The pick (Fender Heavy) is Cesar's. It was given to me by a crew guy. Thanks so much for this and the picture. During the hour and a half drive home, all we could do was laugh and smile. The show was absolutely amazing. We really enjoyed the venue. Look Park was very neat and peaceful. We drove through the town and got directions to the venue from the Subway lady. Thanks!

Cesar Rosas rulz! Wow, when I noticed the crew guy motioning me over to him, I was a bit scared. I thought what was I doing wrong. But after a few moments, I noticed his smile as he insisted I walk over to him. Reluctantly, I went and to my surprise he asked me, "Do you want me to take your picture with your girlfriend?" I should have said, "Simon, Ese" but I was shocked and I called Kari over to me. I gave him my camera and we struck a pose, he said, "No come up on stage". We looked at each other and I helped her up on stage. The vato asked me if I wanted to take it with Cesar. What!? Heck yes. So we danced a bit on stage and then Cesar came over and posed with us, during the song. I recall the crowd cheering when the camera flashed. That was truly special. We thank Cesar, the crew guy and the rest of Los Lobos and crew for a memorable evening. The crowd was so pleasant too. Man the kids there are so luck to have seen legends at such a young age. I had to wait 28 years! Well worth the wait.

We stood right infront of Cesar. I got a lot of shots of him. He is the coolest vato alive!


It was a joy hearing Maricela and Cumbia Raza. The crowd was really into the Latin sounds.

Ruth Ungar of the Mammals really tore it up with the boys during the first song of the set. The Mammals were really nice to watch. They mix up Bluegrass with Latin and Folk to make some really good dancing music. Check out their website. The Mammals

Conrad looks like he is having so much fun on stage. I noticed he is a Budweiser man too. As if the picture and guitar pick weren't enough, I got to shake Conrad's hand and tell him, "Gracias for all the great music he has been a part of". He told me, "Thanks for listening". What a classy hombre.

Cougar Estrada was on point. This was during his solo. Real nice jam.

Louie was fun to watch. This vato changes instruments every song. Notice his hand is blurry because he was playing the heck out this song. Simply an amazing musician. He was on drums for a minute too. That picture didn't come out well.



David on acordion. Conjunto at its best. So much fun dancing. Depsite a bum-knee, being barefoot, and dancing on the mud, I had no care in the world. My girlfreind looked to be having a great time too. David knows that chicks dig dancing to the acordion.


The set list was on fire. But during the first couples songs they improvised because David's amp had problems. That jam was real nice.



The evening was well worth the drive. The trip home seemed to fly by as we laughed. Los Lobos put on an amazing show.
