Bought this album in 77, still plays today. All the Santana you will ever need.
wonderful LP 🕉🕉
I can hear how  REM were inspired, 'Underneath the Bunker' on Life's Rich Pageant!
Extremely corny, one of their worst songs.

Very well stated!
I'll always have a place in my heart from some classic Santana. Had the rare (for me) opportunity to attend his show at the Teatro Greco in Sicily last week - the man still has it and when he started into "Moonflower"... I was in my own little heaven - despite the dumbasses walking in front of me arriving late and leaving early — WTF! {#Arghhh} Anyway, back to my bliss....{#Meditate}

Worked in a record store when this came out.  Listened to it a lot.  Loved the part in the live "Europa" (I think that's the tune) where Carlos hits a note that sustains for a long time.  We used to time it!


 



I no right

A jem. An 8.
Calypsus_1, thank you for your wonderful artistic contributions here. You add beauty, and I know I am not the only one who appreciates your gifts to us in these pages.
Oh yes, and this is a lovely piece by Carlos!

De volta ao estúdio, a guitarra de Carlos Santana!
O disco "Guitar Heaven", reuni clássicos da música, é o primeiro gravado em estúdio desde "All That I Am", de 2005.
O lançamento do álbum foi feito no cassino Hard Rock Hotel (Las Vegas), e o músico promete mais 16 apresentações em um local intimista, entre janeiro e maio de 2011.
Em "Guitar Heaven" Santana conduz com as notas de sua guitarra um time eclético de músicos e estilos, onde sons extremamente opostos se unem em nome de algo valioso, a música.
No time de convidados que participam do CD estão a cantora americana de soul India Arie, Gavin Rossdale, do Bush, que cantou "Bang A Gong" (T. Rex),( destaque para o ritmo inusitado em que foi revisitado o som, meio latino tropical), Scott Weiland em "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" (Rolling Stones), Joe Cocker, que também lançou um disco recentemente, está em "Little Wing" (Jimi Hendrix) e Ray Manzarek participa de "Riders On the Storm" (The Doors). A lista segue ainda com a pegada rock de Cornell em "Whole Lotta Love" (Led Zeppelin), o rapper Nas,que deixou suas rimas em "Back in Black" (AC/DC), e o violoncelista Yo-Yo Ma.
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (The Beatles), foi a faixa que foi escolhida para divulgar o novo trabalho de guitarrista nas rádios brasileiras. Ainda sobre o som de "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", Santana afirmou, "E para você sentir que você é importante, tem um significado, você faz a diferença no mundo".
Vale conferir!

Can recognize a Santana instrumental from two towns over.
A cracking number from a classic album, part live, part studio, that has aged surprisingly well
He is just sooooooo good.. his guitar just sings to me.
Lounge music. Not in a good way.

Santana's instrumentals always make me want to have a tropical drink on the beach. Ahhhh...
