I wish these guys would do another reunion tour. Even if they never record another new track together.
The last time I saw them was on their reunion tour when it came to San Francisco. I was moving to South Africa literally the next morning, and I had a sprained ankle so I couldn't go down in the pit with my two brothers, but I got to sit on an elevated platform for the disabled, and watch the sea of 100,000 people bouncing together in unison to every song. Everyone knew every word, it was spiritual in nature.
At the end of the show, my brothers, drenched in their own and others' sweat, made it back to me, with tales from the pit of not being able to put your hands down because everyone was pressed in so tight, and getting lifted up off their feet by the crowd, and dudes sweeping up the cell phones and wallets and whatever else people had in their pockets that they couldn't stop from jostling to the ground and couldn't pick up when they did.
We poured out into the streets of San Francisco and I remember it being a weird experience because you literally couldn't see a single cop anywhere (smart move, SFPD). We got Taco Bell and a few hours later had to wake up to head to the airport. On the southbound 101 we saw a huge tree off to the side going up in flames.
What a night.

Damn so is Sophia Urista's cover of "Wake Up". Which leads me to suspect...

They are Voice of Baceprot. And, wow, holy crap!

There's also a tribute album of covers en español that's pretty good.
