"Tequila" is "the anthem" of Cinco de Mayo?  Seems a worrisome apprehension . . .

Well, Dave does seem to like to knock back a few, if his past blog entries about life around the Morey household are any indication.
Let's get right to it.

BOS to song #2, though I've no idea who it is or what it's called.  Sounds like 1975.

Let the Children Play.

ETA:  and it's from 1977's Festival, also onthe double live Moonflower later that year.

Santana, si?

Wonder if he'll make more than one appearance in this year's set? I think he did last year. Must go look.

Indeed it's Santana. Dave plays it often enough outside of Cinco de Mayo sets.

Santana.  Though it was difficult to tell during the recorder(?) solo...

I guess "Cinco de Mayo" is inevitable, but it's far from War's finest moment.  By 1979 they were capable of little but formula, and by 1982 barely that.

Here's what we heard last year:

Santana - Carnival/Let the Children Play
Los Lonely Boys - Señorita
Concrete Blonde - Bajo La Lune Mexicana
Wall of Voodoo - Mexican Radio (Lo Mejor del Grupo!!)
Ozomatli - (Who Discovered) America
War - Cinco de Mayo
Los Lobos - C'Mon Let's Go
Calexico - Alone Again Or
Los Mocoso - Caliente
Jorge y Carlos - Luz, Amor Y Vida

And only one Santana tune--there's that unimpeachable memory of mine again. Same song as this year too.
Let's get right to it.

Hrm... does Dave dare play Concrete Blonde 2 days in a row?

Agreed with Gaz on War -- not much of a song. But inevitable, unfortunately.
