Los Lobos

• Steve Berlin: % keyboards, baritone saxophone, ^ tenor saxophone, £ flute;
• Enrique ‘Bugs’ Gonzalez (except ): drums; David Hidalgo: guitar, @ accordion, lead and harmony vox;
• Conrad Lozano: bass, harmony vox;
• Louis Perez: guitar, ¤ acoustic guitar, $ jarana, * drums, lead and harmony vox;
• Cesar Rosas: guitar, ‡ percussion, lead and harmony vox.

Wow! Tonight David Hidalgo played like a man possessed! Burning bright and dazzling us with his soulful fretwork. Lots of deep blues runs tonight, but plenty of psychedelia too. Makes me sad that I haven't seen them since last year – how many similar shows did I miss?

The rest of the band were also in fine form, relaxed and joking with each other in between the tunes. Cesar seemed to be suffering from a bit of throat discomfort – many of his lines seemed to be clipped off short – but he soldiered through to the end without complaint. Hopefully it's nothing too serious!
