Texas King Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 How much do you like Santana?Any fave album, fave songs? I know some stuff, really like a couple of tunes and only album that I fully listened to was Abraxas and I like it, a very good album. And Carlos is a great guitarist.http://68.media.tumblr.com/713f619708903c132c3279b91a6ae37b/tumblr_nd8ary83oK1qzdza2o1_500.jpg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your_Lion Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I love Santana, particularly the first four albums: Santana, Abraxas, Santana III and Caravanserai. All four are classics 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) As for favourite songs, the version of Soul Sacrifice from Woodstock is amazinghttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqZceAQSJvc and Europa is beautiful with some nice emotive playing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SVI7ZDDQXKA Edited April 19, 2017 by Your_Lion 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Why did he bring Neal Schon into the band? Why would he need another lead guitar player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Yes, and Caravanserai is probably my favorite record. :guitar: 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Great tone and solid player. A bit nuts upstairs but that's ok. The album he did with the guest singers about 20 years ago was a stroke of genius and really worked to meld his playing with a pop sensibility. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your_Lion Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Why did he bring Neal Schon into the band? Why would he need another lead guitar player?I read that he was influenced by some of the stuff the Allman Brothers were doing with twin lead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 (edited) Santana ( 1970 ) was my first concert. I had 5th row seats at the Felt Forum ( NYC ) and I remember sitting there with my jaw on my lap. I was 15y.o. at the time and had my first " out of body experience " when I heard this song. http://youtu.be/mjWkm3tvrRA Edited April 19, 2017 by custom55 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Yes, I really like Carlos .. Your Lion posted Europa, which is great .. And I'll add the Moonflower album to the conversation - great stuff I saw him live when I was a freshman in high school, and even though I didn't smoke anything, I think I'm still high from all the pot that was smoked by the crowd . .

Mithrandir Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Santana 3 is among my all time favorite albums Abraxas is an awesome album Debut is fantastic. Caravanserai is ok. I love many other songs from Carlos, but have no other albums. I saw them for the Shango tour. Don't remember that much of it though. Just too long ago.

ozzy85 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Yes, and Caravanserai is probably my favorite record. :guitar:A favorite album by any band for me. The first three Santana albums are obvious (and awesome), but they hit a great stretch of acid jazz/funk/latino that is hard to beat. Started getting watered down a bit by '79 (Marathon), but still had some juice. Gotta pick and choose songs out of albums since then. Still has some good stuff. I like Shapeshifter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue J Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I probably need to check out more of his mid and later '70s output. There's a lot that I haven't heard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Moonflower, it's hit-and-miss for me, but definitely check out Lotus and Borboletta! This reminds me I need to revisit Welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Moonflower, it's hit-and-miss for me... Santana is probably my favourite guitarist, and the times I've seen the band perform stand among the best concerts I've been to.Despite being a huge fan I agree about the hit and miss.I think post-Moonflower albums Inner Secrets, Zebop, Shape Shifter and the latest release Santana IV are all very good. But I couldn't get on the bandwagon for Supernatural or the similar releases that followed featuring Santana collaborating with a variety of guest artists. They were very popular releases, I suppose, but I just didn't care for them at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Last years Santana IV is another very good one, featuring the return of most of the original line-up. If you've not heard it, you should.There's also a live album/DVD the Santana IV tour which is fantastic. It's great seeing Shrieve, Rolie, Schon and Carabello playing with Carlos again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mystic Slipperman Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Thanks for the reminder on Santana IV. I have been meaning to check that one out. Also forgot to mention... my GF bought me Havana Moon on LP. Really liked that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
