These guys get better and better all the time. The latest in a string of self-released treats for the fans, hot on the heals of "Chuy's Tape Box" and "Acoustic En Vivo".

This is a very diverse selection of live tunes that feature the tasty licks of a top-notch group of musicians. If you've never seen them live, this is a VERY nice representation of the Los Lobos live experience. Buy it now!

Taste and opinion are all relative. I love this band and the sound they produce. Los Lobos digging into the archives is a plus. This is nice hot live set. Enjoy it, if I had to campare to live at the fillmore and chuys tape box, I'd say not as good as Fillmore only because Fillmore has a bit of hard edge and I that's m preference only. I like more than Chuy's but for different reasons. Chuys is great historical Los Lobos but the songs clock a bit fast for me. So this is right in the middle.
All 3 are great choices.

It's easy with today's technology to do all sorts of studio tricks like overdubbing or fixing mistakes and spending hours on effects to make any hack musician or vocalist sound great. The sign of a REAL good band is a band that can put all the pieces together live at the same time and sound great.
Los Lobos shows in this great, sometimes raw (like Mas y Mas) CD that they really know how to tear a stage up!
Los Lobos has been rocking out for over twenty years and their experience shows in this recording.
This CD really captures the energy The Wolves radiate from the stage during their shows!

It's sometimes hard to forget that aside from David Hildago's crisp and beautiful vocals and Cesar Rosas' more bluesy and deep vocal sound that this band can really play. They are much more than a band that records great records but a classic group of techically superior musicians who can really play and jam. This live album catches them not just with their excellent vocal abilities but includes long sections of intrumental where the band just jams with soulful passion and the sound quality is just fantastic. If you are looking for just songs dominated by the vocals of Hildago and Perez, you may be intially disappointed but if you want to hear a great band play, jam musically 'with" great vocals you won't be disappointed. The most familar song from this 1997 tour collection is Evangeline but the more you play the CD,you will appreciate all the tunes. If you are going on a long drive, plug it in, enjoy the total band, you'll have a nice ride. Now if they would just tour more on the east coast.

Mostly stuff from the superb Colossal Head album, this live CD self-released by Los Lobos is excellent all the way through. Live at Fillmore is good also, don't choose, get both.

This set is absolutely blistering! An incredible collection that displays the electric side of the band, with major nods to Jimi as well as many other brilliant artists of the last 60 years. These guys roots are so deep it's scary. On top of it all, they are some of the greatest songwriters around. Sorry to hold back on the praise but this is a set I didn't know I was waiting for.

ITS LIKE ONE GUY SAID TO ME AFTER A CONCERT IN BALTIMORE A FEW YEARS AGO...'NOW THATS WHAT ROCK IS SUPPOSED TO SOUND LIKE'. AND HE WAS CORRECT. AFTER,WHAT, 36 YEARS ?, WITH THE SAME GUYS, THEY CAN DO NO WRONG. THIS CD, WITH GREAT SELECTIONS FROM BEGINNING TO END, SHOWS THEM THE WAY THEY ARE, HOT ! ! DELICATE STUFF LIKE 'JUST A MAN', CRAZY STUFF LIKE 'MAS Y MAS', AND TWO OF THE BEST ROCK NUMBERS ON EARTH, 'I WALK ALONE' AND 'DON'T WORRY BABY' . THE LAST TIME I SAW THEM, ON THE ONCOURES, THEY INVITED EVERYONE TO COME ON STAGE WITH THEM, AND MANY DID. THE JOINT WAS JUMPING. SO BUY THIS, YOU'LL LIKE IT, I PROMISE.
