Let me start this review by saying I have never heard
anything I can recollect by Los Lobos but went into
this night with and open mind knowing I would get a
thrill outta seeing Todd again at the least. I was
fortunate enough to get to meet up with Tianne and her
husband before the show, we had a great time, what a
nice couple! Todd fans are the greatest!! Todd's set
was a little rougher than 3 months ago here in Cols, I
blame it on too much travel, too many tour dates and
too many irons in the oven! Only a couple of piano
flubs and by the 3-4th song his voice was loosening
up! Song list was much as the few nights before minus
a few songs and with an abbreviated WAT set. The big
news here is Todd mentioning on stage that the next
time we would see him here he would be playing his new
stuff, now that will be great!! Tianne was kind enough
to include us in some aftershow passes she had but my
expectations of actually getting to meet Todd were low
as we had been told he would be outta there quickly
after his set, my guess is Los Lobos asked Todd to sit
in with them for a song and he stuck around to do just
that with a great rendition of "Rain" by the Beatles.
Luckily because he did hang around we did get to go
back for a quick meet and greet but per my ususal shy
behavior when I do get around Todd, short of making a
fool of myself I was again very reserved and again
blew my chance of telling Todd just how much his music
has meant to me over the many, many years I have
listened to him. So alas [lol] if only he might read
this review he'll know how much he has impacted my
life and what a treasure his music is to me!! We did
stay to hear a few songs by LL and even tho' their
music is "not my thing" thay are a talented bunch. Get
out there to see Todd it's always a thrill!!
