Santana & Shorter ~Europa (Live at Montrenx 1988)

[@Yapostadodat]

Europa, also known as Gia, is the Earth Mother. THIS is Santana's tribute to the Earth itself! It's so awesome when you consider the feeling he's putting into this song and what he's dedicating it to. Viva Santana y Europa y Gia.

[@louise_rose]

Yes, I really dig this version - and the entire show! (bought the dvd a dozen years ago after having borrowed it from the public library a few times). The musicianship and groove all through the gig, on all hands, is simply spectacular!

[@TChalla90210]

That was soooooo fantastic!

[@marintar]

Very very great..after listening the video of 1980 in Montreux I didn't expect such a superb performance by Carlos....

[@michaelmz]

Que maravilloso toca la guitarra el maestro Carlitos Santana 🎸🎶🌅🌌

[@bammy111]

Got hit by a wave of pure emotion at 1:51 and started crying, haha.... man, Santana is just incredible in how he makes his guitar sing. (Two people were dropped on their heads as babies)

[@andrewmell0r251]

that bit in brackets made me laugh out loud...make it 23 now :)

[@CarlosVelicia]

I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the password. I love any tricks you can offer me!

@London Leighton Instablaster =)

[@boxingin]

It's not how many notes you can play it's all about making people feel. I love shredding but I'll take feeling over shredding any given day. Santana is awsome!

[@MEGAMIGA]

So true! The man is a master! Bring back Abraxas, Borboletta, Welcome, LOTUS!!!

[@ninjajo11]

Carlos has the "milkiest' tone of all time. I love his guitar sound.

[@eliotdaviglus7897]

PRS guitar

[@SRV4evr]

Beautiful!

[@carlosmperez1]

O final desta interpretação de Europa com Santana e Shorter é a música, linda por sinal, Ponta de Areia de Milton Nascimento do Brasil do Álbum MINAS e Native Dance de Wayne Shorter com participação de Milton Nascimento!

[@sirus027]

Carlos is the master of organic guitar - always just a little off meter that makes it a living sound.

[@007jkirk]

I used to love it in the summer when I was outside by the chimnea a late at night just listening to this song I loved it so much :)

[@Pavelziam]

Santana es unico, y el haber nacido en mexico lo hace más unico todavia

[@abatarr]

Thanks for the upload!! Excellent live version!!!

[@boxingin]

Cut him some slack. After decades of being totally over looked the man is finally shining.

[@akuchess]

BRAVO CARLOS SANTANA. UR THE GREATEST

[@redwaldvillanueva]

i like it a lot. viva santana. saludos

[@HuachoPelao365SG]

that's right man...........a classic tone

[@SHEMAMAN]

Santana plays this without much thought for Wayne Shorter and that's a shame, but it's one of the great instrumentals of modern popular music and any playing of it is an entertainment. good stuff.

[@skinnyman1434]

Yeah, I just knew Wayne was about to do a thang, but he was ready.

[@nenad100janovic]

It is tribute to one natural satelite - look in wiki. Santana often says a story about it sub title (Earths cry Heavens smile) but EUROPA - it is a satelite ( like moon to our planet).

[@cadburyenglishman]

In reality, Carlos Santana has done very well for himself over the years, he's really nothing to prove, sad though he divorced his sweetheart Debra, this is never easy... This is a guy who in his early twenties was touring the world, literally 100's of countries, for his talent and gifting were demanded globally by literally millions of people. Santana band chemistry makes all the difference, Chepito Areas, Graham Lear, Armando Peraza, Kermode, Rauch, Koster, Rollie...are all sorely missed!

[@cadburyenglishman]

My friend you should check out Lotus, it features live renditions of pieces from the albums you've mentioned in exception to Borboletta! I've never tired of Lotus, always something new in that album each time I hear it; also recorded live in Japan!!!

[@Tubz1990]

Wayne Shorter and Sanata so sick nuff said.

[@chilangostyle]

Santana es la onda....

[@samyeksam4242]

it's both!

[@wisesatyr72]

the perfect humbucker tone

[@aditzulu]

VIVA CARLOS DEVADIP - EL MAS FANTASTICO GUITARRISTA ELECTRICO DEL MUNDO.

[@DGuitarbite]

@Rrrrobert808 i didn sleep nor eat for 2 days till i got what he did at 1:51, he has beautifully used the feedback(excess treble sound) and controlled it to give out the beauty.....;)

[@ragyps]

The best album of Santana are : Abraxas, 3rd, Caravanserail, Welcome, Borboletta

[@skinnyman1434]

There's a Pori Jazz performance, "Elegant People". Magnificent and Patrice is on keyboards. Wayne paid him back or vice versa.

[@ВиталийШмаргуненко]

Карлос сантана!

[@franarmando]

buena version

[@blakevickrey]

Hey Carlos, is that a pick or a Dorito?

[@mondosolorzano]

As good as santana is Wayne Shorter is a legend and carlos is a good enough band leader that he should know to let wayne play a little bit

[@louise_rose]

This was the very last song of the night, the final encore, and Wayne had pulled off a long, blistering solo on the track just before, "Deeper,. Dig Deeper" (solos by nearly everyone in the band on that one). I have the dvd of this spectacular show...you can clearly see that they are dripping with sweat as they walk off the stage at the end of "Deeper" after something like 2½ hours of ferocious playing on stage.

[@turnaroundphraseNY]

@moooot2015 yes,it's true

[@rayoll]

the bassist is alphonso johnson.

[@alucardae86]

3:30 LOL:P

[@ragyps]

@cadburyenglishman Yes I agree,

[@Reezer83]

well most off the times they sort out some tracks for the guest to solo.

[@ShredTheGnarz]

@Rrrrobert808 Shred can have soul. Its just at a faster tempo

[@alantranphysio]

thats a big ass pick

[@temorello]

any cheap amp can feedback, you don´t need a top line amplification,.

[@nuclearboy2]

@Neidhardt84 like going back wiht javier batiz

[@boxingin]

I think it's home made or something.

[@74jailbreaker]

@tybolini2 haha soul baby, soul.

[@pretorious700]

@Rrrrobert808 without a PRS and top of the line amplification that note dies like a wounded bird... I love Carlos, but 50% of his style is equipment

[@lukemagiera3356]

pretorious700 I have a line 6 amp and a squire strat. Style is style. Equipment is equipment. Music is neither of those, it’s your soul.

[@chazzy968]

Did you see the expression in Wayne Shorter's face? He's like; "Dude, did you invite me here to play or what". Carlos is just playing all over the place. Out of respect to the great Wayne Shorter, Carlos should have stepped back and comped behind Wayne to let him jam a little more here. Then he could have traded solos back and forth as the song progressed. It would have been appropriate.

[@tybolini2]

Looks like that sustain note really hurt !! LOL

[@lvperalta]

LOL! A tortilla chip? So that he can have something to eat on while playing

[@nthsieh928]

i totally agree. wayne is also sooo out of his league its ridiculous (mainly in his knowledge of theory and whatnot) santana is not responsive and doesn't really change his comping style to fit the solo either.

[@yorgovalirakis6786]

wtf didn't let Wayne play, too bad, guess he didn't like the alto, should have used his tenor, anyway, great tune

[@scottandrews3878]

+Yorgo Valirakis Wayne was playing tenor, did you miss 2:30? He just doesn't lay into the way Gato Barbieri does, and the soundtrack is off on this...

[@CHIMIRIS]

is that a pick .. or a dorito .. ;)

[@metamorphosis67]

Cheesiest keyboard sounds ever

[@StevenCharlesJazz]

Wow, how disappointing.... he left Wayne out to dry on this one, what's up with that?

[@chopsuey187]
