In 2010 Los Lobos joined the all-star line up for the "Experience Hendrix Tribute Tour". Together with many other respected contemporary rock artists they performed music written and inspired by Jimi Hendrix. 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."

For today's Classic Live Lobos we are taking you to Sesame Street! Los Lobos guest starred on Sesame Street a few times in the early 90s. During one episode they performed "Elmo and the Lavender Moon" helping to demonstrate how music can convey feelings. In another episode Los Lobos did a fun version of "El Canelo". We hope you enjoy these two episodes! Try sharing these videos with the youngsters in your lives and let us know what they think.

Check out today's Classic Live Lobos featuring Los Lobos and Los Lonely Boys in 2011 performing Jimi Hendrix's classic "Hey Joe". Over the years Los Lobos has played with Los Lonely Boys many times, touring together and sitting in for a few songs here and there. 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.

This week's Classic Live Lobos episode is from Los Lobos' recent performance on Austin City Limits Live. On Friday January 18, 2013 Los Lobos was the 1st band to play as a part of the new "PACHANGA PRESENTS” concert series, a Latin music series co-branded by Austin City Limits Live and the Pachanga Latino Music Festival that will take place throughout 2013. On this tune they are joined by Los Texmaniacs and Max Baca and tear the house down!

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".
