Los Lobos - 1984-01-14 - Santa Barbara, CA (SBD)

In 1984, Los Lobos made their major record label debut with the album How Will The Wolf Survive. While the disc did not  achieve significant commercial success,  critics loved it.  For example, Robert Christgau wrote that the album "makes it sound as if they invented the style. Who did the original of that one, you wonder, only to discover that you're listening to the original." This soundboard recording captures the band right before the release of the disc, in Santa Barbara,  on January 14, 1984, 32 years ago today.  A glance at the set list, by the way, reveals 2 tunes that were critical to the band's commercial breakthrough in 1987 - a cover of La Bamba and the original tune, My Baby's Gone, which would appear on their landmark 2nd disc, By The Light Of The Moon.
