I feel this song every time I say the 23rd Psalm

[@endofanera1983]

My favorite santana tunes are the ones with just him and Chester. Blues for Salvador, goodness and mercy, wings of grace.

Totally agree! One time I went to a Santana concert and I took my Live and In Living Color album and when Chester was setting up I ran up to the stage and asked if he would sign it. He looked at the album, shakes his head with a smile and signs it! One of my treasures hanging on my wall and in my memory. Yes! Please come back to TOP, Chester, we miss you.

When I found out Chester played music with Carlos I knew I wanted to hear it and this is the first and it's Excellent 😊😊👍👍

I saw one of the last gigs Santana played with Chester, a concert in Salzburg in '08. I was in the front row and you could see that Chester gave it a 110%. I haven't yet heard Freddie Ravel (the new guy) play. But Chester + Santana = pure magic.

They made the same thing with Tony Lindsay when he was working on his new album they put his name on past players, on the website says that chester is going to have a long absence due to his family, he wants to spend some time with them...Santana is not so stupid to let him go..he is an important part of the band.

The force is strong in this one Obi Wan. If there is no god who does he love so much. Atheists are such fools.

I think Chester Thompson has left Santana after 26 years!!! Can anyone confirm? He is/was the fundamental part of the Santana sound!!! :o( Looks like Freddie Ravel is in the new seat...

[@funkfize]

Chester, please go back to Tower of Power!!
