George Benson & Carlos Santana Midnight Special 1976 BREEZIN

[@davegreen4236]

Absolutely hands down one of the greatest live improv performances anytime anywhere

[@matthewworthington6573]

Two guitar masters jamming and having fun. George Benson and Carlos Santana are amazing.

[@tonymoreno1416]

Well said

[@Plateaudweller]

Just imagine if Gabor Szabo had been a 3rd guitar in this.

This is how you make music . True artists at work .

[@marytaylor2381]

My first concert without my parents I was 16. I ran up the bleachers to where George was walking to the stage to get a glimpse of him. He gave me the biggest most beautiful smile I will never forget! I loved his music I listened endlessly as a teen ❤️

[@IntercontinentalArmy]

Playing Guitar and Touring with Santana was nuts. I am a talented classically trained musician and I still found myself in awe of his abilities!

[@newphone4474]

If that is true sometime we just have to recognize the honor and privilege to be on the boat and enjoy the ride

[@Barbara-jd5lb]

After losing the Comedy for a year in Montreal, hope fully and heartfelt The Jazz fest does not take the same road...ugh...one year? Too long to handle...😢

[@greatunz67]

Yeah.. that never happened dude lol

[@IntercontinentalArmy]

@@greatunz67 You don't anything about me. What I have done or what I am going to do. You neighsayers are a dime a dozen. You neighsayers only project your ignorance. You have never played with anyone. I most definitely have. You probably have ties to The Inbred Hoover Family.

[@IntercontinentalArmy]

@@newphone4474 Yup, it was so much fun. Santana and Rob Thomas are really great people. I served in multiple foreign wars to earn such though. It really wasn't worth incurring the permanent injuries I have to my feet and legs just to play with those two though! The Navy refuses to pay me at this point. Nobody should serve in The US Military.

[@colinweir1501]

When you're life hits a bad time just listen to these two and you can rise above it,Thank you George and Carlos

[@hectorgarcia-zv1wi]

Tht right

[@DJ-kq5of]

Wow. Just peak musicianship. Goosebumps. Clearly unrehearsed and interesting how they took a little while to figure the interaction, then just tore it up when they did. Carlos looking for the line, George giving him room, then magic. Wow.

[@superdavico]

+David Johnston yes, then the magic appears

[@kitzsimon]

Wow! George is oneof my all time favorite singer-guitarist plus the awesome Santana. Superb performance. Love it!

[@AnDrEaF079]

Santana è come il vento del deserto, come la brezza della sera in un calda giornata d'estate. Come i colori di un tramonto infuocato. La sua è una musica eterna che ti fa accendere immagini, luoghi, persone e profumi.

[@kelvinhall1698]

2 guitar legends on the stage together is a once in a lifetime occasion!!! The goal of the guitar player is no doubt greatly inspired by viewing this classic clip!!!!

[@Salsavieja76]

Queda demostrado que la música une a los pueblos. Esta versión nos conmueve. Que Dios los bendiga.

[@ricrica2012]

the whole idea of guys playing together, for the joy of it, without the egos, is what made these times the best in music history. just having fun together, & playing their asses off. what more can you ask for??

[@ricnrolle]

saw santana open for clapton during the ocean boulevard tour at seattle center when i was in the army. one of the best concerts i ever attended.

[@jehm7681]

Hermosa época que aunque no volverá, la podemos disfrutar gracias a youtube. Viva Santana, viva Benson.

[@thewayneduke]

Carlos Santana and George Benson. Love it!

[@koolkatfelix9500]

Both are my favourite guitarist & singers! Im a small not so famous musician, but I've enjoyed them for years!

[@alundavies6705]

This music and George Bensons Breezin album got me playing the drums after over 20 years without that joy, this is pure musicianship at its finest. Both drummer and bassist are possibly my favourite too. Just fantastic at feeling music.

[@daveallan4627]

I'll take Harvey Mason every time :)

[@tv2109]

wow- glad I found this- as both of these guys are legends. I wish music today was even close to being this good. Thank god we still have access to music from the 70's forward.

[@tribeshift]

George Benson is a true master musician. At no time whatsoever is he ever trying to "outdo" Carlos Santana, despite having more than enough technical superiority to do so. Instead so, he is fully supportive of Carlos's playing, leaving lots of space for him to shine. Likewise, Carlos is humble yet comfortable enough in his own playing to do what he does, together with a bonafide jazz legend.

[@notimetowaste1254]

I heard the opposite.

[@Yourbankaccount]

Ugh, technical superiority? 70s Santana was technical as fuck. Maybe you meant that Benson has more varied vocabulary than Santana thanks to his jazz upbringing...

[@Yette]

Technical superiority? No

[@garyhart4646]

Both great players but George is on another level from Santana.. watch some of his playing from from the late sixties and Also the late 80’s with earl klugh live, his playing is mind blowing..

[@randykline1266]

The best! I was fourteen when this came out - never aloud to stay up that late Just Wonderful!

[@brendajstevens3719]

Love this so much. Real music, I was so very lucky I was to have lived through this incredible era. Watching Carlos playing guitar reminds me so much of Prince. 💜

[@TheRivensongInitiative]

YES! They compliment each other SO well.

[@albertaspeakman5135]

Double Awesome👏

[@stephentubbs]

George Benson is one of the all time greats!

[@nathanadams3132]

stephen tubbs

[@gilly2bad]

Brilliant! Love Santana's soul and expression.. as for George he makes everything look soooo easy!! They are both AWESOME!

[@eddymasao1]

You know what? He is giving sign to his band when Santana plays his guitar. I love it. I need it. I should do this. Thanks Mr. Geroge Benson.

[@josephdixon]

🤯 Mind blown. Jazz-guitar heaven....

[@mqblues]

Carlos played violin for a half dozen years in Mexico in his father's bands. A very melodic and underrated guitarist. George started out as a child singer before he ever picked up a guitar. Two of the most inspirational musicians I can think of. They make this Gabor Szabo song work very well.

[@AbrahamVandenberg]

👍

[@floodo1]

George Benson, The MAN just drippin swagu everywhere

[@rustydj]

Two great guitarists complementing each other's style all the way!

[@dwightchildress3474]

A great lesson for martial arts.

[@quamegutema6730]

De Jesus great comment great like your name.

[@marioramirez7269]

This is what i love about Santana he can take you to a better place, and all you have to do is close your eyes.

[@marilynzabilski739]

Love it!!!! George Benson and Carlos Santana "Breezin" on the Midnight Special 1976!

[@EarlLee01]

This is SWEET!!

[@SR-pn5ks]

Simply wonderful. This is music and these are Journeymen of their craft! Marvelous.

[@Henryjr133]

Increiblemente una de las mejores intrepretaciones que he escuchado y una de mis piezas predilectas por muchos años.

[@BillCompo]

These were the days when we were entertained by real entertainers. Many thank's for posting a quality performance like this one.

[@medellin7145]

Ahhhh....true music is refreshing to hear. 2 legends 🙌🏽🙏🏽

[@NorwegianAnne]

So together and yet so much themselves - wow who could not love it! A treat to watch and a treat to just enjoy listening to. Thank you for posting.

[@davidnelson5958]

two of the best in the business of music....... it take me back to the good times in my life thanks for posting this

[@jorgewashington2981]

What a treat! Two of the best guitarists in the world playing side by side. Viva Carlos y que viva George.

[@johnquiles5348]

Magic before our 👀

[@c.c.7687]

No matter what guitar he's played over the years, Santana has always had that very easily recognizable signature sound. I guess tone really is in the fingers.

[@troubleondemand7703]

Fingers and a cranked Mesa Boogie.

[@okish02]

Love both .....but Carlos takes this song to a higher level as he always does ,he is a master of feel and simply is outstanding in this duet,Benson was great butin aww of Carlos.

[@TicoRosenberg]

omer kishanov so true. Carlos plays so melodic so beautiful and his sound os so astonishing. Makes Benson sound puny and weak. Benson knows this deep inside.

[@biografiasdelsmoothjazzces8290]

2 LEYENDAS VIVAS QUE REVOLUCIONARON LA MUSICA Y QUE A DIOS GRACIAS EXISTEN HACEN MUSICA QUE SE ADELANTÓ A SU ÉPOCA Y QUE NUNCA PASARÁ DE MODA, PASAN A LA HISTORIA

Wow, look at those two gents having a wonderful conversation though their guitars!

[@Kathy20102010]

Nice! What a find! Two legends! : )

[@AllenPinchloaf]

They blend well.They are having fun!How cool to have 2 legends together.

[@titoc.t.1078]

Santana to George : You complete Me . George to Santana , you had me at the Hello ..😅

[@christophersimmins3181]

Exquisite ...near perfect tonal expressions and voicing's. These artists complement each other beautifully...magic

[@1Shao_]

this is....amazing.

[@TheSYmPHONICNV]

I used to play George Benson vinyl records at weddings back in the 80's. lol I was fortunate to see Santana perform live.

[@jackieherriot3272]

amazing carlos is the greatest!

[@EricHarlandFan]

George Benson = Joyous music, very uplifting.

[@santinhoneto5393]

Dois monstros sagrados da música numa performance única. Thank you, TakeSixAdrian!

[@mariaeugeniacoteroche3196]

Diosss Que recuerdos, Excelente interpretación de ambos.

[@simewn]

What I like the best is that they are enjoying playing together

[@NellioStyle]

These guys speak with their guitar, awesome.

[@davidlhonelrps8764]

Wow, this is good. I just don't have enough years left to listen to all the good stuff....

[@annagil1]

Excellent this is good music - a gift to your ears!!!

[@annagil1]

nice-glad you like good music also!

[@danh9031]

To this day I remember seeing these two on the Midnight Special together, absolutely blew me away! I was only 12 at the time.

[@jkennedy3121]

I LOVE this! Two fantastic guitarists enjoying the hell out of one another and trading the most beautiful licks ever!

[@cliffimages1785]

2 great legendary guitarist on the same stage!!!!! They both have there own style, and play awesomely!!!!!!

[@okish02]

Incredible...Carlos is amazing and clearly shines

[@sapiscnn]

pleasant to see world class talent come together like this. when george benson would come to the sahara high sierra theater there was a groove in the club. those were once in a lifetime events for me , i miss that. pat

[@JozefZemla]

no one had it expected but mr.Santana killed so much ...respect to both of them..they are supermen

[@notimetowaste1254]

That's because you guys think that Santana us just a little rock guitar player. But the man is Way so much more than that!

[@carlbowden4712]

I remember seeing this on TV at age 17 and it's just as amazing today as it was then!! They so jam out from the 5:30 mark on!!!

[@michaelpowell2475]

two fellas who purely and quite beautifully make those guitars sing... thanks for the upload.. :-)

[@francesco4504]

No lessons here unless they are both giving them to us. I love it.

[@lionzion2981]

My house is by the sea just 30 meters away so I am breezin..............Awesome! What a warm beautifull feeling..........

[@Jj-ty7qh]

Too much greatness for one stage. I’m surprised the stage is not collapsing under the weight of such greatness.

[@smugglersrun7779]

This gives me chills absolutely incredible two of my favorites together

[@Clairebearthegoodfinder]

A visual and musical feast. Wow that’s some good stuff.

[@mrgreeneye656]

George brings out the best in Carlos!

[@notimetowaste1254]

And vice versa!

[@Pakos154]

There are just a few people who can make Mexico's name shine... Santana you are one of these

[@ChicagoBeaver]

Wow! This really made my day! They're both just having fun and look at George just smiling! Great jam song. I wish I could have been there front row baby!

[@jerryj920]

Absolutely beautiful...Dynamic Duo....blessings

[@yutub8712]

beautiful how they play so close to each other without playing any of the same notes/riffs. very jamming:)

[@aarongomez5196]

This left me breathless....beyond my expectations!

[@raymondtorales5810]

Awesome guitar players. Awesome song!

[@izwatchinu]

Love .. I actually remember watching this on the Midnight Special xxxxx

[@StereoSpace]

Wow, great rescue of a fascinating performance here. I owned albums by both these guys when I was a young man. I even had good taste back then.

[@jlr022159]

I've never seen this one before... pretty cool mashup! I remember when Breezin' was a HUGE hit! I love GB's chops... that guy has such an amazing touch... but both were great. really enjoyed listening to this!

[@Chuichupachichi]

When I first read the title with these men's names within it, I knew they would click together. Scattered here and there, all over Santana's lifetime discography, you'll find plenty of instrumentals with this type of flavoring It was "right up his alley" to groove with George Benson

[@DorianCleveland]

to the haters: Shhh, they are playing music, trading licks and having fun! I would LOVE a tv show in 2015 that had LIVE music with great guitarists crossing genres! Who cares "they dont mix well", "not a good pairing." Shush, 40 years later, you have something to say to a guy that played WOODSTOCK and one of the best jazz musicians on the planet! ugh...

[@paulobastos1774]

Shush tonto.

[@guygagnon4627]

Jenny rogers

[@abrahamjackson6019]

Rock meets Jazz, they made it work. Amazing

[@NesconProductions]

two master chefs carving it up & dishing it out... :D

[@tarellb]

PURE GOLD and this is way before my time

[@Sophisticated8]

First time I have seen young Carlos Santana &young George benson

[@matteoscozzi5043]

The drummer in the background is in heaven.

[@stevenjones881]

just an unbelievable beautiful collaboration. just complimenting each other in every way. an unreal piece of music.

[@vincehernandez8465]

Two masters. A wonderful thing to behold. Awesomeness!

[@benjamminbrown1161]

Two of my heroes playing together and off of each other! I had no idea this happened, what a performance! They both play exactly what needs to be played with taste and their styles work so well together

[@fredstuckmann]

A couple of long time favorites Breezin' through one of Jazz's great tunes. Very cool.

[@canadawithay813]

Benson and Santana are great. Benson has the best road trip music especially when driving to the keys

[@japanesesen]

Beautiful Classic Music! I do love...

[@sudha4128]

An amazing collaboration, what a treat!

[@SJHR2]

Beyond classic! Great performance!

[@superswiftest]

These two masters are in a league of their own !! love the Carlos young look without his hat haha cheers

[@theressamurphy2996]

What sweetness to our ears, listening these gifted musicians play their magnificent magic music🎶🎶🎸🎸🎶🎶

Carlos Santana and George Benson on a great show The Midnight Special muy bueno excelente ( very good excellent ) huh???...I don't know much Spanish wish I knew more this is terrific..when this came out I was 7
