Recorded in Japan in July 1973, this massive live album, originally on three LPs and now on two compact discs, was available outside the United States in 1974 but held back from domestic release until long into the CD age. It features the same "New Santana Band" that recorded Welcome, and combines that group's jazz and spiritual influences with performances of earlier Latin rock favorites like "Oye Como Va." ~ William Ruhlmann

2 stars Fantastic recording, but......
I'm a big fan of Santana's Les Paul and Boogie amp. I'm also a big fan of live recordings. Only ocassionally do precious bits shine where the groove and the melody and the tones all come together at once. it wears me out to listen to it. Its like an acid-trip for the band. Like when everyone else has a buzz on and you dont? Annoying- like that.

4 stars Best Santana live performance
This is a good documentation of the last bits of the original Santana Band with only drummer Michael Shrieve, incredible percussionist Jose "Chepito" Areas and Carlos himself left in the line-up. The material pulls from his most experimental work of the early seventies albums "Welcome" and "Caravanserai" with tid-bits from earlier albums like "Black Magic Woman", "Oye Como Va", "Toussaint L'Overture", and "Samba Pa Ti." This version of the Santana Band kicks serious ass. The performances are flawless and they reach peaks no other Santana Band ever came close to. The jams are extensive and guitar solos are indulgent but that only adds to the sensationalism of this performance. This disc was recorded in Japan where they really know the art of live recording so the sound is state-of-the-art for its time. Highly recommended!!!!

5 stars Santana's Best Album
I have had the LP of this for years. I would guess 1975. I once read a review that said "You have not heard Santana play until you have heard this album." I agreed then and have yet to hear better. This is magical to hear.

5 stars Magnificent
This is one of the greatest records ever, and, if you have a copy of the original Japanese TV broadcast (like I have)you will be proved that it is one of the greatest concerts ever. If you do not have this,even if it is only on CD or vinyl then SHAME ON YOU.

Lotus album
CD $15.95  4.4 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
Recorded live at the Fillmore West, San Francisco, California on December 19-22, 1968. Includes liner notes by Alan Di Perna. Eight months prior to their triumphant worldwide debut at Woodstock, Santana played a 4-night set at the Fillmore West on December 19-22, 1968. The resulting 2-disc recording from this fertile developmental period ably demonstrates the remarkably creative path Carlos Santana took to inevitable fame. Utilizing a line-up that included Gregg Rolie, vocals and ...

CD $7.59  4.2 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Following on the heels of Santana's 1970 breakthrough, ABRAXAS, 1971's SANTANA III is teeming with the eclectic mix of rock, blues, jazz, R&B, and Latin rhythms for which the band is known. Though somewhat more jam-oriented than its predecessor, SANTANA III is no less of an achievement. Full of percolating webs of percussion, jazzy keys parts, infectious call-and-response vocals, and the searing twin guitar attacks of Carlos Santana and Neal Schon (who later went on to form Journey), the album is an absorbing sonic experience from back to front. Given Carlos Santana's late-career partnerships with everyone from Rob Thomas to the Black Eyed Peas, it's sometimes hard to remember that his band was a product of San Francisco's late-'60s ...

Ultradiscs are mastered from the original master tapes using Mobile Fidelity's proprietary mastering technique, then plated with 24 karat gold and housed in a stress-resistant lift-lock jewel box. Two years on from the conceptual innovations of THICK AS A BRICK, Tull had learned how to crystallize the creativity of that prog-rock masterpiece and incorporate it into more traditional song structures. Thus, the songs here are full of daunting time signatures and dazzling feats of instrumental derring-do, but all in the context of shorter, more concise composition. There's also a darker edge to things here, as introduced by the tumultuous title cut. The ...

Lotus songs
CD $6.75  4.4 stars Top 100 Audio Samples Definitive Album
A surprise best-seller when it was first released, this mostly improvised pairing of singer/keyboardist/producer Al Kooper with two major guitar heroes of the day sounds fascinating all these years later precisely because of the distance of time--nobody makes records like this any more. The material runs the gamut from folk pop (covers of Donovan and Dylan), to blues ("Albert's Shuffle," "You Don't Love Me"), to heady jams ("His Holy Modal Majesty"), to big-band jazz ("Harvey's Tune"). All the tunes make effective templates for the kind off-the-cuff music-making that in less capable hands might have resulted in simple noodling. In fact, although Bloomfield and Stills don't play together ...

Though there were hints of jazz fusion on Santana's first three albums, 1972's CARAVANSERAI introduced a dramatic shift in the band's sound, away from essentially pop-based music to a freer, more harmonically complex jazz/rock hybrid. In addition, the record marked a splintering of the original Santana lineup (soon to splinter further still with the departure of organist ...
