Santana - 1974-09-18 - Las Vegas, NV (SBD)

In the mid 1970s, Carlos Santana, his band, and his music all underwent dramatic changes. He married Deborah King, he daughter of the late blues singer and guitarist, Saunders King. Santana also became a fan of fusion guitarist John McLaughlin, recording an album with him entitled Love, Devotion, Surrender. McLaughlin also introduced Santana to his guru, Sri Chimmoy, an Indian spiritualist, who accepted Carlos as a disciple and christened him as Devadip, meaning "The lamp, light and eye of God." In addition, Carlos recruited a new band, as he had to replace Greg Rolle and Neil Schon who left after recording the album Caravanserai. Through all this change, one thing remained constant, Santana's ability to light up a concert arena, as evidence in this soundboard recording from Las Vegas on September 18, 1974, 4 decades ago today. Download this one to hear Carlos and his new backing band play a more jazz/fusion inspired set of classics, the come back on 9/23 and 9/27 for parts 2 and 3 of this Same Tour, Different Show” entry.
