SANTANA
Rotterdam 1972 [no label, 2CD]
Live at De Doelen, Rotterdam, the Netherlands; December 1, 1972. Very good soundboard.
Santana… circa Caravanserai. Here is a show which has been circulating for a while that’s finally making its appearance here.
wikipedia:
Caravanserai (1972) marked a major turning point in Carlos Santana’s career as it was a sharp departure from his critically acclaimed first three albums. Original bassist David Brown left the group in 1971 and was replaced by Doug Rauch and Tom Rutley, while original percussionist Michael Carabello left and was replaced by Armando Peraza. Keyboardist/vocalist Gregg Rolie, who was having a falling-out with Santana, was replaced by Tom Coster on a few songs…
The sound contrasted greatly with Santana’s trademark fusion of salsa, rock, and jazz, and concentrated mostly on jazz-like instrumental passages. All but three tracks were instrumentals, and consequently the album yielded no hit singles. The album is the first among a series of Santana albums that were known for their increasing musical complexity, marking a move away from the popular rock format of the early Santana albums towards a more contemplative and experimental jazz sound.
