A week agp Nancy and I trundled into Toronto to see Los Lobos at Koerner Hall. This was the first time we've seen them live. It was billed as an "acoustic evening" but turned out to be a pretty loud and raucous performance. .

| Los Lobos at Koerner Hall |
I'm not that familiar with their songs but I recognized a few, though given our location behind the stage, it was difficult to hear the vocals. The band came through loud and clear though, especially the drummer, who was outstanding. They finished the set with "Going Down the Road Feelin' Bad" > "Bertha" and an energetic performance of Neil Young's "Cinnamon Girl". The show ended with the entire audience up on their feet and dancing to La Bamba. something I doubt happens often there.
So for this week's musical treat, here's a few videos of Los Lobos performing starting with a six-song set from KCRW-FM followed by a few videos of individual songs. All are pro-shot with excellent sound. Enjoy.
