Santana - 1978-02-09 - The Palladium, NY (Early Show) (SBD)

Earlier this month, we brought you the first part of a 1981 Same Tour Different Show entry from Santana (the 2nd part will be posted on February 21), which was near the end of Santana's transition to a more AOR sound.  Over the next 2 days, we'll bring you 4 shows from 1978, right before that start of that transition.  The first true AOR album from Carlos, entitled Inner Secrets, would be released in October 1978.  The Moonflower disc, however, which had been released in late 1978, despite its fusion of styles, may have hinted at the forthcoming change with the inclusion of a remake of the Zombies hit, She's Not There.  Inner Secrets and the albums which followed in the late 1970s and early 1980s sounded far more like She's Not There than the earlier Latin infused tunes of earlier Santana discs.  This soundboard  recording captures the early show from The Palladium in New York from February 9, 1978, 3 dozen years ago today. Just as Santana's music was changing at this time, so was the day and ago of performers playing 2 shows in one night.  By the early 1980s, that practice would be all be dead.  In any event, download this one now, then come back later today for the late show from February 9th and tomorrow for both shows from February 10.
