Best band in the Country . Been calling them "my Beatles" for 25 years.

great to hear this band, who generally let their music speak for them, reflect on their music...

These guys are the epitome of integrity and dedication to their musical and artistic ideals. The deepest roots, the highest levels of creative innovation, the sharpest of musical chops, one fantastic record after another. They are absolutely one of the finest bands America has ever had. Also I don't understand why a lot of people seem to think that being interviewed, particularly in front of a live audience, is something that most people would find natural and be comfortable with. Plus, I'm sure over the course of 42 years, they've already answered most of these questions over and over, and whatever excitement a young band might feel about people wanting to hear what they have to say has long since worn off. So yeah, they're not super into it, but are gracious enough to do it, probably mostly just to satisfy their label's desire for promotion that in fact they probably don't really need and from which they won't particularly benefit.

These talented cats drew alot of smiles in all their miles

I saw these Guys at Calvert Marine Museum in Solomon's Island Maryland, The hosted a Meet and great ! It was AMAZING, the closed with Cinnamon girl and blew everyone away ! Epic show !

Best band in America? Best damn band on the planet!!!

What i get from this...they really does not like to do intterviews, not just this one but others as well.I got the feeling that they were a bit uncomfortable doing this...still a humble group of friends.I have always thought of them as the american equivalent like The Beatles.Every album was different from the last.Great to see them live never a disappointment !!! Kiko was a game changer for them, great album.

Cool interview!!

One of my top 5 favorite bands of all time. Discovered them in the mid-80's while a DJ for my college radio station, West Georgia College. They've been heroes of mine ever since. As a musician, they cover so many of my bullet points of greatness. Interesting political take, too. In response to their opinion of the wall, Mexicans would build a door. Excellent answer! That would be great! A door through which people can enter and leave Mexico and the US each providing the required paperwork, the way it has been for decades until Mexico became so corrupt and at least partially run by cartels. I hate Mexico has become that way, as it is such a beautiful place with so much to offer and hard working brilliant people and culture. So awesome these guys are kind of a liaison of the two nations and cultures. They are more heroes to me, now, after this interview 35 years after my discovery. I hope to see them one day before we all start falling apart, physically... haha!

Were they sad here? Or they just don't like to be interviewed? Or tired? I love 'em. I hate to think of them as being downcast -- sad..... They've done so much for all of us. Sacrificed so much family/home time to be with us -- to share their gifts with us.

Great band. Too bad they didn’t have better interviewers for this event.

So cool to watch this interview. It is an honest account of their roots. I was fortunate enough to meet them at Garfield high school. Frank Gonzalez ( the original bass player) David Hidalgo, and Louie Perez were cool to hang with during "nutrition", on the steps of the cafeteria . At the time their band was called "BOOJUM SNARK", Featuing Dave, Louie and Frank. Ceaser and Conrad had graduated the previous year . Frank lived just off olympic blvd. Ceaser lived one house away and rehearsals were held at Dave's house just down the street. Ceaser was leading a soul band called "Firesign" . Conrad was in the power trio " Euphoria" and Also the "Allen Webster's chocolate banana mystery band". Each of them multi-talented, and hard working .Grateful for everything, they never let fame go to thier heads. They remain friendly and humble and still the best live show in circulation. The Pride of East L.A. and my friends, LOS LOBOS.

I went to college with Frank Gonzalez but have lost touch with him...Can anyone connect me with Frank "Francisco" Gonzalez? Please!

I sensed tension

what?

Jim DeRogatis makes a lame attempt to get the band to get political ... they did not . Open Borders Liberal DeRogatis in doing so only embarrassed himself.
