      Couldn’t agree more. Nobody lets a song “breathe” anymore. (Well, I am sure some artists do, but it’s woefully lacking in today’s world of auto tune, click tracks, and “Pro Tools.”) Grateful I came of age in the 60’s and 70’s.

      Santana is the best soloists of all time ,bar none , specially if you consider the melodic emotional and lyrical aspect of playing , tons of people can play great runs and do technical wizardry but the emotion in his playing is unsurpassed, the crazy thing is a lot of his best solos are not generally known to even some of his big fans .

But he changed, had A SPIRITUAL AWAKENING and his most beautiful works were from that point on. They were his awesome compilations on CARAVANSERI, BORBOLETTA, and WELCOME for starters. Europa is a taste of that.

    I am so impressed that this song was recommended and that these two listened to it. Europa (Earth's Cry, Heaven's Smile) is, in my opinion, the only perfect song ever written. Not a note out of place. No moments of self-indulgence. No stray notes artificially added as a means to get to another note. This song is absolutely perfect. Obviously, my favorite song of all time. Saw Santana play it a couple of years ago when he came to my town. I jumped from my seat and screamed when those first immediately identifiable notes transported me out of my body as I floated on the music. And I was sober. Yeah. It was that good.

    What can be said? Carlos Santana is another level. From his acid induced legendary Woodstock performance to his collaboration with the world’s finest, Miles Davis and Eric Clapton to name a few, we are fortunate to live in a time with Carlos. He survived many tragedies and lost famous peers along the way only to re-emerge and revive the music industry.
    Santana evolved over time in various genres from jazz to classic rock, blues and guitar instrumentals. No matter what sound, Santana offers a relaxing voyage, a romantic mood or some dancing . It’s all there.

    Every time I hear this, I'm filled with such a sense of longing that it's almost painful. I have loved this exceptional guitarist, songwriter, and composer since I saw his performance at Woodstock 69. That was completely new territory, for a young man from New Hampshire, and I will never forget it
    If you want to hear some more, check out his music with Gato Barbieri, a sax player from Argentina. He played with Carlos in several live performances, and Carlos guests on a few of Gato's albums... Caliente and Tropico come to mind. Songs like Europa, Latin Lady, She is Michelle, Poinciana... Just beautiful. I urge you to check out this great Latin Jazz maestro, you won't be disappointed, I promise.

    Santana played at the Greek Theater in LA a number of years back, maybe 15 years ago. As it was in my younger days, I didn’t have money for shows always, so at times we would hike into the hills behind the amphitheater, and this is how I saw Santana … (also Al Green and 1/2 a Radiohead show).
    At one point in the show during a song break, blue lights shot out from the stage and into the hills where we were. We were not the only ones up there, but the lights shown directly on a friend and I, and Carlos himself saluted with a dedication, “This one is for the people in the hills!”
    I can’t remember what song it was he played then, but I do remember he finished with a killer cover of John Coltrane’s “A Love Supreme”.

    Actually, the full title of the song is "Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile)". Which might just be the best subtitle of any song, ever. And also: GREAT PICK! Jay, you should lose bets more often! jk Finally, Please give Joe Satriani a try. He's been doing guitar-led instrumentals for the better part of his four-decade career. He's one of the GOATs as far as guitarists go. Try "Flying In a Blue Dream", "Time", "One Big Rush" or "Surfing With the Alien" to see what I mean.

    Carlos played this at Bill Grahams furneal in San Francisco 1991. It just brings quiet tears every time l hear it.

    Carlos absolutely killed it in this track, if you get a chance, check out Gato Barbieri's version of "Europa", he slays it with the sax. Great reaction Jay & Amber.

    Y’all need to check out Gary Moore Parisienne Walkways for starters followed by Still Got the Blues and about 20 more.

    He is a Master. Whenever you hear his guitar, you know it's Carlos. I got the goose bumps.

    It amazes me how there are many lead guitar players that as soon as you hear it, you know exactly who it is.
    Carlos Santana is one of those fabulous people. ❤

    Santana is one of the greatest, and they do have such a distinctive sound that you know exactly who it is when a song you've never even heard comes on. It would be great if you added one of my Santana favorites "Winning". It's another one that really showcases the guitar talent (link below). Thanks so much for this reaction! ✌💙✌

    When the cost of losing a bet is to hear Santana, That's not a loss! Your Friend was pretty cool to make THIS the cost of losing a bet!

    Rob Squad has been sadly negligent vis a vis Santana. More please!! "Oye Como Va" and "Samba Pa Ti" and "Smooth" or "Maria Maria."

    Santana's greatest hits... We would play that cassette tape consistently at the lake, fishing back in the day !

    The live version on "MoonFlower" is THE version to hear first. As good as this is the live is SO much better. In fact, everything on Moonflower is phenomenal.
