Description
Santana live at the Cow Palace, San Francisco on New Year's Eve 1975 broadcast by KSAN-FM. Explosive performance with a rejuvenated Carlos giving the material from the early albums new focus and energy. Newly restored and remastered from newly surfaced broadcast audio. Limited edition digi-pak.
"You can spot his guitar playing within seconds - the warm, quasi-horn tones of saturated overdrive, the conversational phrasing and instinctive modulation between major and minor. African rhythms, Spanish guitar, Miles Davis and John McLaughlin, Hendrix and Beethoven - for Carlos, it is all one continuum. A true artist, he says, takes inspiration from it all.
"As a musician, you have the nutrients and ingredients of many things in one note. In one note, you hear infinity's breath. When I was in the studio, in 1972, with John McLaughlin doing Love Devotion Surrender, it dawned on me that he trusted me, and he saw something in me that I was trying to see in myself. He saw something in me that Miles Davis saw in him. So there is a spirit in you that can complement anything that gets in front of you. It seems that the intangible becomes the tangible around me."
