SANTANA
San Diego 1973 [no label, 2CD]
Live at the Sports Arena, San Diego, CA; January 30, 1973. Very good soundboard.
Sometimes a song can just take you away, by just sheer familiarity. That’s what Samba Pa Ti (especially in this medley form with snippets from Breezin’, Never Can Say Goodbye and Brazil) will do to you. It may be comfort food for some but it does get you through the day.
Thanks to HermanLR for sharing the show at Dime.
HermanLR noted:
First of all jdbrewer26 made me realize that some SBD shows from early 1973 had never been shared here before. Thanks for reminding me of it! And taking into regard that Santana has had worse spells, these have to be heard… San Diego features a Lotus setlist. Smashing show of a superb band, of course. The SBD quality is good, though I felt the need to run Audition to improve it a bit on the high end.
mrnym1 added: “Free Angela includes a Promise of a Fisherman theme on keyboards. I’ve never heard of live performance of this song with the guitar part, and even the theme itself seems relatively rare. A nice surprise. One of my all time favorite Santana pieces, from the Borboletta album.”
