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 Breath-Taking, Ecstatic, Torrents of Guitar Precision
The subdued Japanese audience must have been spinning with joy, as Carlos unleashed his Les Paul into spheres of mind-blowing, super-charged mental landscapes. The numerous band members created lush backdrops for Carlos to go into incredibly extended solos, filled with encyclopedic phrasing subtleties, intermingled with heart-stopping thunderclaps of raw energy. Never strictly jazz, but ever on the brink of free-improvisation, one is left feeling as if the guitar solos melded the spontaneity of a loose jam with ultra-precise and perfectly ordered melodic exploration. I can remember my first listen to Oye Como Va, and being transported into a magical and trancendent place as one phrase after another almost imperceptibly grew in intensity, exploding with energy, but with Carlos never being out of control. For me now, the crowning achievement from Lotus is Incident At Neshabur, with Carlos' genious in full blosson. It is a barrage of musical energy, with one ingenious phrase after another. I would recommend this for anyone who would like to hear Carlos at the height of his virtuosity and creativity.
