- Src Notes -
Los Lobos performed in a big open space, about the size of an empty city block, with a high stage set up along one side of the space. A small PA was set up on each side, 2 sub cabinets topped by 3 midrange units. The soundboard was about 120\' back, under a ~10x10 pop-up tarp in the sun. Based on the severe wind phasing I heard from that position during the preceding act, I decided not to tape from the board. So I scouted about during the opening act and ended up picking a spot far to Stage Right, directly inline with one of the small PA speakers, ~45\' back. Kinda weird, but the best I thought I could do given the circumstances.
