Carlos Santana "Searchin'" 1981 Live

[@bsmooth2u]

Alex Lighterwood is one of the most underrated singers in music. Great range and lots of soul. The album Zebop was a marker of my youth. Cool songs.

[@santyrush]

Absolutely, is a great singer and Zebop is a masterpiece album. I discovered in 1982 I think.. I love and Festival album too.

[@davidsmothers6307]

You bet

[@regaltip8A]

Marathon is also an album that he shines on. I had the chance to tell Alex that he was the voice of Santana and he gave me a hug. Never forget it.

[@ramongonzalez2112]

Alex is amazing. Zebop was the first album my brother bought in eighth grade.🤗😎

[@ramongonzalez2112]

@@regaltip8A Sweet!

[@12groney]

Best percussion section in any rock band in history and I got to hang out with them one day, I will never forget! Graham Lear one of the top 10 drummers ever! Armando RIP, Orestes hope all is good!

[@pedrotamarit5646]

12groney the best percussionist is Alfredo and good singer: Waiting for my baby

[@buickmonte]

RIP Raul Rekow....

[@robertcrabtree4843]

Me and my wife went to denny's after a santana concert in Tampa the whole band went there also they sat in one of the corner wrap around booths every one but Carlos they said he never goes out in public after a concert

[@hemalpatel6138]

Great song well sang Alex....Great 👍

[@jackpenfold2648]

One of the most underrated vocalists and song writers ever. Saw him with Brian Auger's Oblivion Express too and his range and precision is just incredible. Probably the best opening number I've ever seen for a live show was when they (Santana) came out and began with Primera Invasion and then right into Searching---couldn't believe what i was hearing!

[@luismarceloinostrozabidart922]

He is John Liggertwood....A great voice....

[@stellaercolani3810]

These dudes and this song ROCKS, just love it!!

[@gouduleme2]

As a big fan of Santana I was studying one night of 1982, then I wanted to listen some Santana but there was only a TV in this room... So I turned on this old TV and saw directly THAT song from that rockpalast concert... I just went crazy ! I’ve yet saw the zebop tour This was the best Carlos lineup with the addition of Tom Coster and Greg Walker... Dave Margen is clearly my best bass player, each of those guys are GENIUS !

[@willmercury]

Carlos gets off so sincerely here! Conviction second to none! Killer line-up. Rhythm section extraordinaire.

[@jimlucas897]

Thank you to the googleplex power for posting this, Brings back so many great memories of the summer of 81!!!

[@aaronrenning1846]

I saw Santana during the Zebop tour at Plattsburgh State University in NY and it blew the whole audience away. We were pinching ourselves cause we couldn’t believe what we were experiencing. Up close and personal in a small field house.

[@joannewest-morton4955]

Absolutely priceless😍

[@RaulDiaz-kf3fr]

The best Latin rock music ever played in this planet

[@ramongonzalez2112]

Wow! Grew up with Santana and never saw this. Incredible live band. Awesome energy!👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@stellaercolani3810]

Music is the purest, most intense drug high that's free yeah!

[@martinarriolacastillo1889]

Un rolonazo, qué bateria, ritmo, melodía, percusión, feelin' ... No se puede pedir más, qué música Dios mío.

[@JavierGonzalez-oe1qq]

Carlos Santana assembled some of the best musicians in the world...I don’t know if Santana was the best live band ever...But certainly top 3.

[@ramongonzalez2112]

Powerful live band. Everyone moving on stage. Hurricane moving through.😅

[@sportsguy2891]

In the early 80's, despite the record company's pressure to produce radio-friendly music, Santana managed to stay true for quite a while. All of their records from this era had a few gems on them. The lineup was stellar. And Carlos was brandishing the PRS.

[@greatunz67]

And they were incredible live, which is where they really flourished, despite the loss of Tom Coster on keys the earily through mid 80's Santana had the best lineup of their career.

[@niclasforslund2847]

Giving this a thumb down...what kind of people can do that, 6 in the whole world obviously...this is pure love, what a live performance of maybe the most talented line ups, ever!!!❤❤❤

[@benhogan41]

Michael Shrieve is one bad ass drummer!!!

[@johnlopez7494]

[@corysmith5228]

Alex Ligertwood Vocals

[@riff1able]

Fy fan, va skönt,

[@stephenmr2]

Still searching for my beloved angel she is in California and I am stuck in Houston.

[@catchmeifyucan1]

Darryl Sittler is beating the chit outta those drums

[@valuecalc]

This song does need "Primera Invasión" to work its way into it. I did miss the harmonies as found on the studio release, though.

[@heythomasj]

Carlos Santana doesn't play music. He isn't even really a musician. He simply IS the music. And since I share a birthday with him, that means I'm ALSO...well...I guess it makes me another guy born on July 20th. NEVERTHELESS, he is the music.

[@yvespons1376]

PRIMERA INVASION / SEARCHIN ...... SO GOOOOOOD ..

[@Wolfhagener01]

Ich war dabei :-)

[@Mr01081960]

Great Alex lighterwood on vocals and guitar

[@mackermaldrill2656]

This has to be later than 1981. Carlos is playing a PRS Santana model, which didn't come to the market until the 90s. Does anyone know the date?

[@f1993zappa]

Hi, it's really in 1981. Rockpop on zdf, german tv.

[@robertwhitcomb6105]

Macker Maldrill PRS was making guitars before the 1985 company founding. Likely a prototype, like the mk1 boogie he has played for decades

[@loogarth]

Bop on carlos!

[@eliotdaviglus7897]

Orestes Vilató!

[@jerryboilard2494]

Is that the same drummer from Woodstock?

[@kenster007]

What's not to like about that?

[@lostchord702]

PLEASE, what is the line up here ?

[@robsac9578]

This is the best Santana line up ever.

[@Man_Hat_Tan.]

The early 80's santana line up Alex Ligertwood - lead vocals, rhythm guitar Carlos Santana - lead guitar, vocals Richard Baker - keyboards David Margen - bass guitar Graham Lear - drums Armando Peraza - congas, percussion, vocals Raul Rekow - congas, bongos, percussion, vocals Orestes Vilató - timbales, percussion

[@blairmacewancrosbie8646]

closest Carlos ever came to having a beard.......

[@CTRADER77]

WTF is wrondg with this audioence in 1981.

[@greatunz67]

It's a German tv variety show which featured multiple artists on the same bill, they were probably all there to see someone else like Abba or someone and Santana was on earlier in the program.

[@stellaercolani3810]

Just look at the ecstsy on their faces.
