Thee Midnighters notonly play well ... they continue to stay close to their roots. I don't know how much money they make, but, they never not give a good performance.
The reason it don't sound the same is they're are not the originals. Where's Benny, Roy, Larry George, Danny, Willie, etc. Comm'on now, Don't pretend your the Midnighters. Be original and get a new name and write some songs.
No matter how you slice the Midniters they are bad and a legend in our own times. Williw G still perforsm as the OG Midniters. Just went to one of his concerts at the Gibson Amp at universal Hollywood and they were bad asss. Oldies But Goodies forever Chicano Power !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@G4dg3t625 We/Thee Midniters will be in Santa Monica at The Moose Lodge on Sunday 5/8/2011 for a Mother's Day Champagne Brunch and then return to the Santa Fe Springs Swap Meet on 5/14/2011! It'll be the best show in town for the best price 2 shows with over 2 hours of Midniters... Hope you can join us!
Mi Tia works at that swap meet we get in for free to see the midnighters.Best group ever,and ever will be, they have a sound that can never be replicated. Long live oldies!!!
@ChickenlittleBYB I agree, it is a privilege to see that some of the original key members, even without Willie G (blessed as he is to sing for the Lord), that THEE MIDNITERS found unique new members to carry on those great classics to enjoy today.
@barriobajaj Greg Esparza is the latest member to sing for Thee Midniters. He grew up singing his favorite Chicano oldies bands music in his hometown La Habra and wished he could one day sing with Willie G and Thee Midniters. Greg became known in the East LA circuit and was asked to sing with Cannibal and the Headhunters and perform with them. Today he stands as the lead singer for Thee Midniters.
@mryellowcrown I agree that Willie G was a major force for the Thee Midniters and his voice will always continue to be the original lead singer. However, with Willie's choice to move on and praise God in his ministry, the band performs with an added member Greg Esparza.
@mryellowcrown, thanks for your comments. I appreciate and encourage all to post their opinions.
Also, I am not Greg Esparza, I am Eddie Jr. who goes out to various shows and shoots videos of Chicano/Latino Entertainment to support and share with others who support as well.

Who's the guy signing autographs and shaking hands? He's too young to be an original member. Is he Willie G's stand in?
