Pete Academy Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 For anyone that's interested, there's a documentary about Santana on BBC4 next Friday at 9pm. Looks like lots of early footage and interviews with band members over the years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balcro Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 Thanks for that. Really something to look forward to. Saw them at the Bath Festival back in whenever, maybe '68. They were just spot on. So here by way of an indulgence is one my favourite youtube clips. Somedays everything just works and this was one of them............

spongebob Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I've already set up Sky+ to record! He had so many great musicians alongside him....great bass players too. For me, he was superb until around 'Inner Secrets', don't think they ever really made it back from the more poppy direction. I can really recommend one of his solo albums - 'Oneness' - up there with his best best work IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4000 Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 I absolutely love the band but strangely don't rate his guitar playing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted June 6, 2011 Share Posted June 6, 2011 Good shout Pete! Abraxas is a classic. Although I do think that Carlos is a bit "out there" but each to their own. Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the actual concert, I told a friend (who also likes them) that I'd be going to see them and he said he had seen them a couple years earlier and thought they were pretty bad. That took the shine off my anticipation, but I really enjoyed the concert and would certainly go to see them again. I guess all bands have good and bad gigs.
