Your_Lion Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 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.That might be a Santana album worth investigating. Do you own all or most Santana albums?I own them all up to 82's Shango 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I love Santana, particularly the first four albums: Santana, Abraxas, Santana III and Caravanserai. All four are classicsAmen to that. One of my favorite concerts was Santana, sometime in the 80's at U of Michigan's Hill Auditorium, with an epic version of Samba Pa Ti. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Your_Lion Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Another one that I love, but don't think has been mentioned yet, is Love Devotion Surrender, the album he did with John McLaughlin. Though it's much more of a John McLaughlin album, with Carlos following his lead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boots Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 If you thought Santana was a good musician, you should hear his wife on drums. Holy tornado!!!!! :Neil: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I only have Supernatural which I got just as I was about to start college. You couldn't escape Smooth from Summer to years end in 99. That was one big crossover radio hit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorraine Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I heard Santana's Black Magic Woman this morning. I was so sick of hearing it so much when I was growing up, that I never realized what a great song it really is. Hard to believe it came out 51 years ago!!!!!! :codger: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) At the 11:45 mark of this clip below, the drummer from London, ON that's referenced as a member of REO Speedwagon and Santana is Graham Lear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcSzxJG3xBY Lear played drums on Santana's 1982 album 'Shangó, which featured the hit single 'Hold On' (written by another Canadian musician named Ian Thomas from Hamilton, ON posted ). Both Lear and Thomas are referenced in the "As the Years Go By: Conversations with Canada's Folk, Pop & Rock Pioneers" book as well that's discussed in the interview. Also, Santana recorded a cover of by Canadian jazz-rock band Lighthouse, which is on the Supernatural (Deluxe Edition) reissue.

alpha p Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 To be totally honest, I have really tried to like Santana, because I feel that I should, ya know, but struggle a bit.I only have a few albums...Moonflower and Abraxas; and i'll have to give them another try. I'm the same with Jimi Hendrix....sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RushFanForever Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 A few years ago, I was made aware of a tribute album to Santana titled Viva Carlos! A Super Natural Marathon Celebration. This project was put together by the Shrapnel Records label featuring other well known and lesser known guitarists performing Santana songs. I haven't heard the entire album, except Eric Johnson's performance of 'Aqua Marine'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpxZKLEyHxg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YES FOLKS, he is that fooking good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Na na na Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 No, but I have to admit I don't know much about his music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 He's fantastic, saw him last year in his 50th year tour, he can still smoke that guitar. I love his style, very distinctive sound. Santana, Abraxas have a lot of the hits he's known for. One album of his that is a sleeper is Beyond Appearances, love that one. His music makes me want to dance. Here's two of my faves 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Have seen him I believe 5 times. Here's a relatively unknown song of his I love....... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc4gd Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Way underrated and overlooked. Early stuff is groundbreaking. He diversified over the years going from rock to jazz fusion to pop. Host of band members changes over the years. Usually 10-15 musicians on stage. Santana shreds, leaving many a guitarist in the dust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc4gd Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 In junior high, i listened to Zebop! for most one summer. (Had my beat box!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk7_ssVOgoU&list=PLrpyDacBCh7CtlpP7m-vFmXfYgEEQ_XlU 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Hermit Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Not a fan, sorry. Does nothing for me. And I really tried, and I even love Latin influence in music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
