surfpup Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Also no Mesa Boogie! Reportedly the Woodstock set up was a solid state Gallien Kreuger prototype. It's in the fingers, baby! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimi Mac Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yes Carlos used to play Gibson before PRS... Let's also not forget how tight Neal Schon (of later Journey fame) was with carlos as a 17 y/o phenom when he joined Santana and was the sound of Santana as much as Carlos was during his tenure there... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0e3L2lwax4 Many of those early recordings featured Neal pulling off the leads that we all know as Sanatana classics! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmFYGmTKkR8 But there's no arguing the pinnacle playing that Carlos exhibits! I was especially taken by his "Blues For Salvador" album in my youth when I first saw his work on PRS guitars... I played that cassette until I wore it out falling asleep to it... It was certainly on my mind and in my brain in that period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanHenry Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Santana are still one of the very best live acts. I was lucky enough to see them last year and I wouldn't hesitate to go and watch them again. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky enough to see them last year and I wouldn't hesitate to go and watch them again. Ian Just saw him here about a month ago. We went with another couple and, unfortunately, they were responsible for getting the tickets. We were in the nosebleed section but still an awesome concert and luckily I remembered binoculars. Carlos still has it at 67. I knew it was going to be a great concert when he started with Toussaint L'overture. Santana is on tour with Rod Stewart which still seems like a weird pairing. Fortunately Carlos went on first. I wanted to leave when Stewart came on but the women wanted to stay. But it was definitely worth putting up with Rod Stewart to see Santana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychonaut69 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 To play like that is one thing.........but to play like that while peaking on mescaline is another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badbluesplayer Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I saw them with Tower of Power in about 1976 and it was the most messed up I've ever been at a concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
