Los Lonely Boys - Texican Style (Live from Austin)

This is a fantastic concert by Grammy Award winning, Los Lonely Boys. This is a band of brothers: Henry Garza, Jojo Garza, & Ringo Garza. This concert was filmed live at Auditorium Shores, Austin, Texas, U.S.A., on March 20, 2004. It has an approximate running time of 96 minutes.Henry Garza, the lead electric,guitar player must have been influenced by the late/great Stevie Ray Vaughan. This guitar playing style sounds kinda like Stevie Ray, plus, he performs "tricks" with his guitar, like Stevie Ray did, like playing it behind his back. Plus, he and one of his brothers, Jo Jo, both play the guitar together like Stevie Ray & his brother Jimmy Vaughan did. Jo Jo sings most, but not all of the lead vocals.Overall, you get Henry on lead electric guitar, another brother, Jo Jo on electric bass guitar, (and he has some "tricks" of his own with his bass guitar, he sings most of the vocals), and then you get the other brother, Ringo on drums. So, you get a "Power Trio". These guys play their hearts out!!!There are times when they just improvise, and jam on and on, spontaneously. The crowd loves it!!!!Also, the packed crowd is really, really into this one. These guys played on the last day of the New Orleans Jazz Fest back in 2005, but I missed their performance.However, this concert dvd certainly makes up for it. This concert is totally "awesome", just look at all the 5 stars ratings they have recreived.The song set:1.Intro of the Los Lonely Boys2.Crazy Dream3.Dime Mi Amor4.Nobody Else5.Velvet Sky6.Man to Beat7.Onda8.Supper Time9.Hollywood10.Real Emotions11.Senorita12.Heaven (This was their biggest hit, Henry sings this one, their live performace of it, is totally awesome, it sounds like the studio version, & the version that was played extensively on CMT, back when it was a hit, and in this live concert, it sounds even better, you get an extended version of it. Henry's electric guitar playing is phenonmenal.)Encore Performance: (The Crowd just won't let them leave.)13.An Outstanding Extended Instrumental, with all kinds of guitar "tricks", bass guitar "tricks", spontaneous improvisions, Henry plays the guitar behind his back, like the late/great Stevie Ray did. It's totally awesome!!!! Words just don't do it justice.Bonus Material: Behind the Scences & Documentaries.This is a Great One, and I highly recommend it. Thanks!!!!

The above quote is from a music critic who attended LLB's concert at the 2004 SXSW annual MusicFest, where the band swept the awards given. The quote has become the unofficial anthem of Texans, who've known about LLB for a long time and are now thrilled to share this unique sound with the world. This sound is from 3 brothes in their 20's. They seem much older and more mature than their ages, undoubtedly from being on the road doing gigs with their family since they were 8 yrs. old. You will be convinced that you are hearing 10+ musicians! They aptly proclaim their sound as "Texican Rock 'n Roll."Several CD's of their music are out now, all available at Amazon, which showcases this Band's talents. The DVD is icing on the cake, because it's like a viewer is right there on the front row of an LLB concert. In fact, I have been on the front row of their live concerts. Once you are there, you will want to attend again and again! The crowds are massive, always, so be sure to get there very early for good viewing. It is well worth the wait!Los Lonely Boys have the combined sound of the really great ones we've heard and bought records by for many years: Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Jimi Hendrix, ZZ Top, War, the Beatles, Elvis, the Stones, Waylon and Willie, plus some soul, R&B, Texas blues, hard rock, new country, and old-fashioned rock and roll mixed in--all the sounds which made musical history because there was simply no one else that good at the time. And of course, LLB adds the Latino sound just so we know they'll never forget their roots and original fan base. LLB has named this delicious salad of sounds "the Musical Burrito Theory." So accurate! In their own words, they've taken the sounds of the greats they were raised on all their lives, mixed those sounds together with their own style, and have created a Musical Burrito. One they hope the world will hear, enjoy and want more of.If you can attend a concert anywhere in the US, do it! You will never regret or forget it. Until then, buy this DVD and their other CD's to learn about and know their sound whenever you hear it, even if you can't see their faces. Like Elvis, Buddy, Richie, Stevie Ray, Hendrix, the Beatles, and all the other greats, LLB has the "IT" factor. You know they're the music of the Melinnium we've been waiting for, and there is no one else that good.

Discovered by Willie Nelson, these amazing brothers were all under the age of 26 when this video was shot. They won numerous awards during SXSW including band of the year. The video was shot the last day of SXSW when the band of the year traditionally plays the concluding concert on Saturday.They are without a doubt my favorite band and Henry's incredible talent has helped smooth over the early loss of my all time hero Stevie Ray Vaughan. It's almost like SRV is being channeled through him.Their new CD 'Unforgiven' will be out in July. Henry, the oldest is only 29 now so these brothers have a lot of 'blues' left to pump out. Jo Jo is an amazing (6 string) bass player and plays an incredible guitar as well.Get everything they have on CD or Video and most importantly go see them live. They have fun on stage and leave you yearning for more. They have an amazing fan club 'La Onda' with a huge following. They're humble, spiritual and family oriented.Be sure and check out some of the Austin area bands that warm up for them, like Del Castillo and The Tex Mex Experience. Also check out Vallejo, another Austin favorite. You won't be disappointed! They all have MySpace Pages, including Los Lonely Boys!

excellent dvd

主にアルバムCD『Los Lonely Boys』の曲目ですがライヴではアレンジをし、よりバンド感が増しています！CDでは３つの楽器＋αの音が入っていますが、このライヴでは３つの楽器のみ、それでこの完成度は素晴らしい！これを見るとCDが頼りなく感じてしまうくらいで、やはり彼らはライヴバンドです！

四谷荒木町のHard-Rock-Bar「TEXAS　FLOOD」でこのDVDを見るまでは”LosLonelyBoysの存在もHit曲に”Heaven”があることも知りませんでした。聴きすすむうちにハマッてしまいました。兄弟３人のみ（ギター、ベース、ドラム）とは思えない音の厚みとテクニックの高さ。シンプルかつストロークの効いた南部系ロックをベースにサンタナ風あり、キャッチーな”Heaven”あり、昔ギターを少しかじった当方44才のオヤジに熱いものがこみ上げてきました。ラストのアンコールの曲弾きは圧巻です。American-Rock好きは買いの一枚です！

These guys are great. It's simple uncomplicated music presented with tremendous skills and great showmanship. And a good sense of humor. This is the kind of DVD that's guaranteed to pick you up if you're feeeling low!!
