works for me but a segue to the zombies would work too

Yeah!  Normally can't abide Santana but this is bearable, apart from the self indulgent guitar bit

Do not like this. Too much guitar show-off devalues this song. The original is way better!

It's on his "Simplicity" album with a lot of other covers (and his minor hit, "Working on my Tan").  I rate it a "6". It's ok. He's got better.

It's an awkward album as much of it sounds like theatre acting and technical vocal exercises. For example, he does an interesting version of "Summer in the City" but it has little passion and none of the spontaneity of the original.

I do like Santana's version, but I also like the original too.. and then this one... by Neko Case and Nick Cave ... http://bit.ly/k9IQiH

Agreed, except I only gave this an 8 instead of 9.  It's a fantastic cover, but I'm frustrated that Bill doesn't play more of the Zombies, so my protest at not playing the Zombies original is 9 —> 8

thanks. Not sure I know who that is...
Also: isn't that photo on the cover just lovely?

This is a most excellent album from the 70's.  {#Music}

Carlos had his guitar licks and they were awfully good ... but his percussionists were what really drove the band.  Perhaps that's why they're still played 35 years after the fact.

I also suggest Malcolm McLarens Ripoff "About her". Completely different but still recognizable to its original.

Moonflower (1978), a hybrid of studio and live tracks. If you're really a fan, it's worth buying. It features Carlos at his incendiary best. {#Bananajam}

This oft-covered song is wonderful. This version seems mostly like an opportunity for ol' Devadip to play some solos. Of the covers, I think I'd take the one by Vanilla Fudge.
