The golden voice of Alex Ligertwood in the best Santana lineup.
@jonasnyberg46972 жыл бұрын
The best Santana line up. And Alex is the greatest singer Santana ever had.
@Marcus_C51 Жыл бұрын
I think you may be right about Alex being the best singer Santana ever had, I loved him with Brian Auger and the Oblivion Express. However, the best line-up? This band was excellent but the Abraxas original band was pretty much untouchable. They had a vibe that no other Santana band has had, Schon joining for Santana lll added to it. As far as pure talent, the band on the Lotus album was exceptional, but for power and vibe I still have to favor the Abraxas band. IMHO...

@klep28593 жыл бұрын
@@jotenor No question Alex can sing. The issue is that he never really fit in sonically; his singing often seemed too forced. He didn't have the range that Greg had, nor the smooth R&B & gospel chops that made Greg's singing so effortless while at the same time being totally integrated with their overall sound. The band was so comfortable & natural behind him. Alex's other issue was that he had a hard time carrying the older songs which were meant for someone like Leon Patillo, Greg W. or Greg Rolie. A perfect example of this was when Lenny Williams left Tower Of Power & they've never quite found anyone to take his place, so the old songs were lacking; though Hubert Tubbs was pretty good. Alex's voice, the strengths & weaknesses with the Santana catalog, would have been better served with bands like the Allman Brothers, Delaney & Bonnie, The original Fleetwood Mac, Little Feat or a Stax/Volt kind of thing. But that's just my opinion after seeing multiple lineups of the band & having a few hundred hours of soundboard recordings. Santana was heavier with Alex which is what Carlos wanted after the '76-78 era. I preferred the sound of Greg's tenure, though my favorite era was the Lotus era from '72-74 which is only natural since I'm a Coltrane & Miles fanatic. I still think 'Caravanserai' was the greatest thing they ever did. Staggering; & one of the highest albums ever recorded. This is one of my fav performances, from Soundstage. I remember watching this on PBS in high school. Of course the Tower of Power horn section is excellent. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJfdqHivd56nh9E

Hi! Indeed one of the best concerts they have done! Specially the singing part of Alex is exceptional on this take of 'She's not there'.

It can be found here: part 1:kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmGlpGlvmKiijJo part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2jRqnqbqZWXkJo Enjoy!

Moonflower was Greg, not Alex. Alex didn't join the band till '79. The Moonflower recordings, live, live w/vocal overdubs & studio were all recorded from '76 (w/vocalist Leon Patillo) on the Amigos Europe shows, to '77 in San Francisco. Some of Leon's vocals were overdubbed by Greg).

I have had the same problem not being able to find the better original music videos. I think perhaps one of the musicians felt upstaged and had an issue which buried the best reproductions of these videos.
