Yes, Santana Band during the 1970's and 1980's was on FIRE !!! With Raul Rekow and Armanda Peraza on congas and Orestes Vilató on percussion and the great David Margen on bass and Graham Lear on drums and Richard Baker on keys.
Left AXSTV on when I left the house. Came back to this concert playing. WOW! Rewound my DVR and watched it all. I forget how many great songs he has. Hold On is definitely a fav from my Jr. High school days.
You are peace and joy everything that you want will come to you in that perfect time United world marketing Incorporated is the property of their respective owner go Santana go world go
Before all this PCness,you never could pick out the rack from the girls because they were all out and you had no control over your eyes. It was fun while it lasted.
@@downthestretch85 those fucking wannabe hippie professors and the DNC along with MTV. They used enemas to brainwash the youths who are too stupid to think for themselves and now they're in over their heads. The clock is ticking. Judgment day is on the way. Those pontificating sexual intellectuals will be dragged by their manbuns from campuses and dragged by pick up trucks through the streets.
Carlos Santana on Trump: “I want to see Trump’s light. I already know about his darkness, his fear and his greed.” "Frankly, man, as soon as I wake up in the morning I thank Nikola Tesla, because he invented the remote control. I use the remote control to tune Trump right out of my house. So he has no power or no attention span from me. I just turn him off immediately. We should learn that we’re at that point as humans to make the table bigger and not the wall taller."
That's awesome! I just watched this concert on PBS and couldn't believe I found it on here. I miss the days of great concerts and festivals, so many of the great bands aren't around anymore. 🎶💕
I discovered this gem on Directv Go by chance, browsing between streaming providers. The aura that emanates from all of Carlos Santana's concerts is one of peace. There is another concert on UA-cam that is also from the 80's, where children play, there are families gathered around Carlos's music, friends playing... Carlos tells us, in each of his concerts, live in peace.
That percussion section was stellar! Chepito Areas, Raul Rekow, Armando Peraza, Pete Escovedo, and of course the great Graham Lear. I didn't get to see them at the US festival, but I did see them at the Anaheim Convention Center that year. Great show...I like Alex's vocals, but I really liked Greg Walker a bit more. His voice had a little more soul.
I was very much inspired by seeing Santana live in 82 at in Oakland CA. I told myself I was gonna be a guitar player. The very next day I purchased a guitar and amp. The rest is history
The first US Festival set an all-time attendance record with 410,000 attendees on Labor Day weekend September 1982.... This record was broken 8 months later by the US-2 Festival on Memorial Day weekend May 1983 with 670,000 attendees...
@@rajkumarrajamani4811 Oh, it's a cool song, but it's a little weird that they played that song from Inner Secrets (1978) and not a song from Marathon (1979), Zebop! (1981) or even Shangó (1982), I'm saying this because back in the early 80s Santana's most succesful hit was Winning and not Dealer/Spanish Rose but ok.
What a pity Carlos decided to stop playing the Yamaha and went on with PRS. The Yamaha SG he plays halfway Incident at Neshabur sounds 100 times better than the PRS. He never explained why he switched but I read somewhere that the weight of the Yamaha was causing him shoulder and back pain.
A guys it’s because he had just started playing the PRS at about this time and he was absolutely familiar with the Yamaha after years of playing that particular guitar. The Moonflower years and beyond. It’s like an old friend. It really is just him having dialed in whatever pickups he was using in the Yamaha and knowing the fretboard every way possible. The PRS Santana model is not a lightweight guitar so I think it’s more that he felt and knew it was going to be a superior instrument of the future. I bet if he put the pickups from the Yamaha in the PRS you wouldn’t tell much difference. Having 3 PRS USA guitars myself they are superior in stability. I agree that when he put on the Yamaha something changed, but I think it was more his familiarity with all the components of that instrument and that’s it. Plus I think he liked having an American guitar company owned by someone that understood his passion for playing that he could always rely on to provide superior instruments. I bet Paul would fly to wherever Carlos was if for some reason he needed a guitar at this time.
@@AudioAtmos I guess the only person who knows exactly why he switched is Carlos. As for the PRS being superior to the Yamaha SG. I'm pretty sure opinions will differ based on what you play. Owning 3 PRS guitars I'd be surprised if you spoke differently about them. I play a Yamaha SG 2000 in my Santana tribute band. By far the best guitar I've ever owned in terms of tone, sustain, stability and playability....very seldom have to tune it. But as a fanatic Santana fan of course I was very curious about PRS so I went to a huge PRS dealer in Germany and tried out several of the insanely expensive custom shop models they had... including a Santana model ( No not an SE ) And I was definitely open to buying if I found it better than my Yammie. But I honestly wasn't impressed. Of course they were very good instruments and cosmetically beautiful but at those prices I was expecting a " Wow I need this in my life kind of epiphany regarding the playability ". Never happened, not even close. So I'm still playing my SG2000 and still don't understand how Carlos switched to what I ( my personal opinion) perceived as a great looking guitar yet without a soul. I think the strongest point you made was referring to Carlos wanting an American owned Comapany and Paul Reed Smith's craftmanship and passion for building great guitars and serving Carlos like a King. And I would'nt rule out Carlos was having problems with Yamaha around the time Paul approached him......because in interviews Carlos ALWAYS avoids talking about the Yamaha like the plague.
@@santanafan1713 Yeah OK so you’re a PRS hater like so many people with that problem. The Yamaha is a great guitar, but unfortunately they’re not really accessible these days. Your cliché PRS comment is too typical to be taken seriously. Also, there’s no need to play a Private Stock to obtain the superior quality of a PRS. In fact you should have just played a Santana model. That model has some sufficient differences from other PRS models that make it unique. I guess being in Germany being able to play a PRS model like a Santana with a Brazilian Rosewood fretboard and/or neck is not possible. As far as weight being the reason those words may have been spoken, but guys like Santana say lots of stuff that may or may not be 100% accurate. The weight of the PRS Santana model is not any different. In fact I would guess the PRS is heavier. I suppose the way they hang could make a difference which only adds to my claim of a superior instrument. I gave several reasons why he probably went with PRS that are logical and sensible. Also, I went and listened again and there are tones in certain registers the PRS is getting that are definitely different/better and cut through and are more of what came to be Santana’s signature sound. Obviously he finds the PRS to be better. Then again as he said in the interview he will sound like himself no matter what he plays. Bottomline, comparing guitars from that time period and today must be spoken with a lot of qualification because as I’m sure you know it’s a whole different world manufacturing wise. I still maintain what you’re mostly hearing is more due to the pickups and his familiarity with the guitar. Also, the Santana model along with all PRS guitars did not remain static and improvements are always being made.
At 33:00, beginning of Herbie's solo, the bass player - whom I revere - gets a bit off track with the C Maj 7 to F Maj 7 vamp; easy to do - both chords pivot off an E note; he's back on by 33:45. In any case, He played the world's greatest bass solo during this concert ...
set list:
00:00 Searching
06:40 Black magic woman
12:43 Oye como va
19:50 Nowhere to run
27:16 Incident at Neshabur
40:13 Savor
❤ Incident at Neshabur! Herbie Hancock's impeccable mastery on that piece was genius🎉
Alex Ligertwood has a great beautiful voice nice line of musicians of Santana band 👌...Ray Patel
Alex was tops!
This lineup was tight. When he went into My Favorite Things I pritnear passed out. The cameraman almost made me cuss....a couple times.
This diverse line-up of musicians recorded the well-received Marathon, Zebop and Shango albums and were simply tremendous live...
Astounding live performance!
I was there watching this live
This is my favorite Santana lineup. Cheers
Alex Ligertwood , such a Blue-Eyed soul tasty voice.
Alex Ligertwood 80's period was class MARATHON, ZEBOP etc
The best!
Marathon was ‘79
They used to play this on MTV back in the day . Alex sings is ass off on this one
He was the best.
That tremendous voice of Alex Ligertwood..
But Alex and Buddy the best combi.
I was there... Great show !!!
I envy you! I would have loved to have been there.
I was there both years, fantastic!
Santana at its peak! Doesn't get better than this. Down with the "Smooth" stuff.
897-6899 897-6899 877j6uuujy87688687.4u9u7 897-6899 9
SANTANA has surprisingly FEW live albums out....LIVE albums from MARATHON/ZEBOP/SHANGO are LONG overdue....
Wasn't this amazing? Leaves the more recent versions of Santana in the dust.
Yes, Santana Band during the 1970's and 1980's was on FIRE !!! With Raul Rekow and Armanda Peraza on congas and Orestes Vilató on percussion and the great David Margen on bass and Graham Lear on drums and Richard Baker on keys.
@@q2w3bn876 So true!
show everyone during the timbale solo besides the timbale player...... really?
Herbie Hancock sitting in was Magical.
Love Alex's voice.

the kid could sing
Alex Ligertwood
Best singer in rock.
You are peace and joy everything that you want will come to you in that perfect time United world marketing Incorporated is the property of their respective owner go Santana go world go
I think that's Graham Lear on drums. He also recorded with Gino Vanelli. Great drummer.
Yes, the great Graham Lear on drums !
31:41. Carlos hits the magic note that makes a girls clothes disappear
HaHa!! (She actually put Her top back on a few secs later . T'wasa nice moment, tho.
Before all this PCness,you never could pick out the rack from the girls because they were all out and you had no control over your eyes.
It was fun while it lasted.
38 years later the music's over and Seattle's become CHAZ. How'd America's youth take such a wrong turn?
They went left....and destroyed it one radical mayor at a time to brainwash into tyranny.

That version of Nowhere To Run is fantastic!
It is my all-time favorite version. I love it.
gailinflorida Wish I could get this version on Itunes.
@@jallen2305 me too
Tops!
Fuckin Carlos God's glory
Nixon in 1982? Protesting against Vietnam War...in 1982?
It was US FESTIVAL, NOT WOODSTOCK, Carlos!
C.S. he was referring to the journalist's question about his participation in Woodstock and the political context of the time
Esse é realmente um monstro da guitarra, alguém diferenciado. Com seus som cheio de swing, bem latino e envolvente.
Amazing band and Carlos just an absolute MONSTER one of the greatest ever one of my personal favorites💯
Me and a friend wet to this festival, long ago, was great!

Incident at neshabur, seems like Herbie is lost , don't think they rehearsed , just winging it
It happens. Herbie was all over the studio then and his timing was lost. Better that than incompetence.
Its called improv
Yamaha?
Brasil Rio de Janeiro
Nuestro orgullo latino, Viva Santana.
Dealer/Spanish rose missing 😢?
Did they play that song?
@@Man_Hat_Tan. - yes !
damn,I really would like to see Dealer/Spanish rose live version...
