Los Lobos Concert....A Trip Down Memory Lane

Yep, that's where we were last night. The Los Lobos Concert at the Avi Casino.

We started the evening off meeting our good firends, Jan and Jerry, at the Saltgrass for drinks and munchies. From there we went to the Gourment Room for their Happy Hour. Then off to the Los Lobos Concert. John saw that this group was going to be playing in Laughlin and wanted to go see them because he says he used to see them play in San Diego, as he puts it, during his "clubbing" days. Well, I enjoyed the concert; however, I had no expectations since I was not familiar with their music. John, on the other hand, was a little disappointed. He was anxious to see them because they were supposed to have an awesome "horn" section, as he recalls. Well, that was not to be. One guy did play the trombone, but you could hardly hear it over the guitars. John and I haven't quite figured out these concerts.....it seems that all you can ever hear is loud, screeching music, and you can never hear the singer or the words over all the guitars. Maybe they just have bad acoustics at the "concert arenas" (and I use the term loosely) here. All in all, they put on a decent show and had people up and dancing in the aisles. This probably just goes to show........sometimes it's better not to screw with your memories!!! After the concert we met up with Jan and Jerry again for a little while. Actually, Jerry saw a portion of the concert, as it appears you could walk right in. They never even collected the tickets at the door..............if I'd only known!!! Later, John and I went back to The Riverside to gamble. It was a good night, we both ended up a bit ahead!!! And, then these party animals left for home at 1:30 A.M. All in all, it was an enjoyable night. Tonight.......I think we are off to see the fireworks in Laughlin!

How was your Friday night?

Ciao, Baby
