In 2010 Los Lobos joined the all-star line up for the "Experience Hendrix Tribute Tour".

In this Classic Live Lobos episode we stretch the rules and let David and Cesar take the stage and play Jimi's famous "Little Wing," helping the song and Jimi Hendrix' legacy to live on!

Jimi Hendrix, as for many, was hugely influential during Los Lobos' early years. Here is an excerpt from an interview with Louis Perez recalling the impact of Jimi Hendrix' presence in his adolescent life.

"I actually went to go see him when I was 14 or 15," says drummer-guitarist and principal lyricist Louie Perez, recalling how he had badgered his widowed mother to spend some of the hard-earned money she made sewing clothes in a sweatshop on a ticket to a Hendrix show.

"I sat right down front," he recalls, his voice rising in excitement. "That experience just sort of rearranged my brain cells."

But no matter the tour, the venue, or the song, the music that Los Lobos and Los Lonely Boys produce when together is always amazing!

As many of you may know Los Lobos toured with the Grateful Dead in the 80s and 90s. For this reason we thought it was only fitting to feature Los Lobos playing with Jerry Garcia for one of our Classic Live Lobos episodes. In this clip from 1989 they play a medley that includes "Down On The Bayou" and "Suzie-Q".

Here is a quick excerpt from a 2010 exclusive article with Steve Berlin in which he discusses the Grateful Dead and Jerry Garcia's support of Los Lobos.

You cover the Grateful Dead’s “West LA Fadeaway” on this album, one of my favorite Dead tunes. You toured with the Dead, and covered “Bertha” on the Deadicated album. Can you talk a little about the intersection of these two bands?

We go back a long way. We played Laguna Seca together, that was the first thing we did I think. Jerry Garcia a huge fan of Los Lobos, and not shy about letting us know that.

The Dead constituency has been very good to us, so accommodating to us over the years. We have noodled around on "West LA" in live shows, but for this record we decided to really learn it and get it down to honor the Dead.

For more from this exclusive interview go to www.www.diablomag.com

Here is an additional video just for fun. We all know this song!

Here is a great clip from Los Lobos' 2004 "Live at the Fillmore" performance. Special guest Robert Randolph joined them during the finale for "Mas Y Mas". One music reviewer commented on the virtuosity of this performance by saying "Randolph's and Hidalgo's blistering guitar wars are complemented by an explosive drum solo by Bisetti and Estrada and superlative playing by all the others".

For our seventh episode we will journey back to 2005 to another wonderful Bridge School Benefit Concert. During their performance Los Lobos was accompanied by Emmylou Harris and Buddy Miller for their song "Little John of God".
