Santana Live in 1979

[@samjones1262]

In seventy three I was thirteen just an artist wanting to doing comicbooks, just a singer in my brother in law's band ,he played bass wanting me to take over the mantle my ability to accuired any skill allowed me to manifest a musical quest playing an actual instrument,those late nights laying listening to every body yet had to go to school the next morning,Santana's and many more paid off ,seeing such perfection changed me into some one that god can use,thank you Carlos Santana,

[@prajnachan333]

I've met half of the band (!) 🎉 Carlos in Marin at Sweetwater bar when he came to jam with John Lee Hooker. So cool- hey Carlos! Raul Rekow at a place he was playing with other people in Marin also; he was the nicest down to earth guy; shared some laughs. Chris Solberg and David Margen both in Berkeley. I talked to Chris downtown where he was giving guitar lessons. David at a bakery there. Both nice guys too. I met Graham Lear at their 1977-78 New Years Eve show backstage at the Cow Palace in S.F. Honored to have met musicians that have given us all so much joy. 🕉

[@SparkyonWheelz]

I had a similar experience when meeting the Detroit Red Wings a few days after their 2002 Stanley Cup win.Partied with half the team at the Town Pump in downtown Detroit. If only Santana were in town that night.

[@peterhosking2705]

I met Alex in 1994. Knowing he was from Glasgow I immediately asked him if he was green or blue. His face completely lit up and we spent about 40 mins talking about football (soccer). I sensed he was pleased to discuss something other than music. He was blue btw

[@joserdiazalmodovar1898]

My brother was at this gig. Alex Ligertwood the voice of santana.

c'est vraiment un très grand !

[@newstuger]

My first Santana concert (at age 19), held in Adelaide in a basketball stadium. I still remember the sound and energy. I've seen them a number of times over the years, but this line up was damn good and with great rhythms and great songs you could sing along to.

[@Motorcitymints]

Got to meet Raul in Detroit years ago, around 1999 at a Guitar Center jam session with him and Karl Perazzo. I've seen Santana live many times and Raul was truly amazing every single time ... and he always had that genuine smile when playing. He will always be missed.

[@tarynciccarelloo57]

Love this but can't remember who the band name playin with him

[@jesusrivera743]

When Armando and Raul left us a big piece of the Santana Bands soul went with them. RIP brothers…

[@SparkyonWheelz]

I was living in Harper Woods in 1999. I had no idea Raul and Karl were in Detroit.

[@mikeschmelzer9733]

Alex Ligertwood is one of the most overlooked singers in rock. He's great! The Marathon album is my favorite. Carlos has an iconic style and sound. There are only a handful of players who have achieved that. What a great band!!

[@luisacardet5907]

I agree

[@davidhill1062]

Alex is one of my very favorites, and yes, he has been overlooked. I loved him way back when he was with Brian Auger's Oblivion Express. Check out "Truth" and "Freedom Jazz Dance"!

[@bradleyevans2637]

Is that who the vocalist is? Yes, he is really good AND overlooked. He has that Stevie Winwood, high tenor voice. This is a great, smokin', Santana band! :)

[@32powerof3]

Originally...Alex Ligertwood was going to replace Rod Stewart in Jeff Beck's new group...but I'm told the record company intervened ..and instead Jeff Beck hooked up with Bobby Tench, more photogenic or more heavier ...I don't know.

[@RockChick]

He is my all time favorite.... sings pitch perfect live 🥰👍🏼💥❤

Fabulous, including rarely heard gems off Marathon and Inner Secrets albums, among my favourites

[@paulzatorski527]

I'm not sure but the last 2 songs may have been from a Chicago concert on the tour. Carlos wearing a Blackhawks sweater while jamming out on She's Not There and Evil Ways. In any case, thanks so much for posting and R.I.P. Raul Rekow. Thanks so much for the joy you brought to my life.

[@berneroberland]

I'm a Santana's music fan from about 50 years when I discovered Abraxas, and the First and Third LP's , that for me always will be the best ...I have see Santana in concert the first time in 1979 in Wien and then two other times in Italy.. This is a beautiful concert with great version of Evil ways, thanks to post it..

Man Carlos was really in his pocket in the mid to late 70s. The absolute top of his game.

[@prajnachan333]

Don't fool yourself- he was on the top of his game starting in 1971. On through the years. Listen to the 80's and 90's live- absolutely 💯 on fire 🔥

The year Marathon came out, right after Inner Secrets. I saw them at the Greek Theater in Berkeley around this time. Carlos played his white Gibson SG on Lightning in the Sky just like here. Then Al Di Meola who was on the bill too, came out and jammed with them. Lightning strikes twice! 🎉

ALEX LIGERTWOOD , RICHRAD BAKER, GRAHAN LEAR, DAVID MARGEN, RAUL REKOW, ARMANDO PERAZA, GREG ROYLE, ORESTES VILATO. En vivo sonaban igual que en estudio. Muy talentosos y profesionles todos!!

8:35-9:37 Heaven meets earth. Angels weep with joy. The greatest sustained note in the history of rock. One minute of pure ecstasy. It's as if Carlos has gotten a hold of God's ear and doesn't want to let go.

During the sound check Carlos looks for the sweet spot where the note sustains and puts an x marks the spot. He can just hold that note forever if the room is right. It is the sound of the universe ✨️ 🕉

its Allan Pasqua on keyboards and this concert was filmed in Sydney Australia in 1979 from the Marathon tour

[@robjontay5052]

I saw this show at Madison Square Garden in New York. It was totally sold out. They were pushing a new LP. Well Alright was my fav off it. I didnt know until many years later it was a Buddy Holly composition! Santana is more than a GROUP-more than a guitar player. He is....UNBELIEVABLE! YOU MUST SEE HIM LIVE!

[@jesusheals2]

My first of 20 Santana concerts was March 1st of '79."Inner Secret's" Tour.I did not know at the time it was a cover either or "She's Not There".Greg Walker was singing at my show.When he did "Move On",a feeling went into me I could not explain,but I realized it was due to God.It was The Holy Spirit.Carlos would,and still does pray for Jesus to touch and heal people through his music,through his actual tone rather than words and most of the band pray before every show.A lot of Christian's complain because he is a channeler but so are Christian's and just don't know it.Very few people can discern good from bad angels-the important thing with Carlos he has Love and his heart is in the right place.He gives God Glory every concert and travels the world with a picture of Jesus on his main amp.Not 1 other major guitar player does or ever did that.God Bless Santana!

[@larryevola2631]

Blind Faith covered it as well

[@rodrigocastillobuendia2167]

Éste deber ser de los pocos vídeos donde se puede ver al maestro Armando Peraza desde los timbales. Magistral su interpretación en el clásico solo de timbales en ''Gypsy Queen'' (24:51).

I sure wish Carlos would bring out the old Yamaha SG 175B he's playing here. So much better-sounding than he's ever been on a PRS.

[@jesusheals2]

Man I've been telling everyone that for so many years! So many people love that PRS,it must be easy on the fingers comparatively.The Yamaha sounded so clean and he used to lick his fingers to make them slide easier!

[@chrisoberst3531]

@@jesusheals2 I'm guessing Carlos liked his original PRS because its mid-range projected more like a horn. To me, it's a mushy mess, but each to their own, I guess. His Yamaha is a prototype that is different from the the production version they made in the 70s and 80s.

[@danekurnhart4121]

I remember when he changed to the PRS. Suddenly he didn’t project, couldn’t hear him anymore and excuse me, I still go see him forty years later but his sound sucks compared to this.
