MIND BLOWING, BUT...

"If you're only a Santana fan for his latest commercialized, pop hits, ("Game of Love," "Maria, Maria," etc.) skip it. If you're a Santana fan and have been listening since Woodstock or Abraxas/III and/or have heard Live at the Fillmore '68, this is your record. Blistering solos and jams ("Latin Tropical, "Jam in E, "Everyday I have the Blues") bring back the San Francisco scene of the mid-to-late 60s. This is a great archive of Santana's potential and what was to be. Nevertheless, if long instrumental numbers are not what you like and are looking for another "Black Magic Woman," look elsewhere!
