| Limpopoking (The Parish of St. Alfonzo) | Posted: Mar 31, 2013 - 03:40 My favorite Santana album. Awesome, thanks Bill. |
| michaele (A2 MI) | Posted: Feb 27, 2013 - 16:47 Santana never sounds like Santana. Eclectic. |

| toomanyollys (43.360368,77.020855) | Posted: May 25, 2012 - 06:50 This sounds a heck of a lot like this, just not as good... http://www.radioparadise.com/rp_2.php?#name=songinfo&song_id=38879 |
| leonswiatek (The Greater Northeast) | Posted: May 25, 2012 - 06:46 interesting ,but not something I'd listen to on a rerular basis, just a bit too long. |
| max_p | Posted: May 25, 2012 - 06:44 Nice to hear once again. Had this LP with a record player that auto shut off when the side was done. This album set me to sleep many times. |
| DeeCee1109 (People's Republic of A2) | Posted: Apr 23, 2012 - 13:15 Latin fusion jazz .... Bueno!

| jagdriver (Just a nod and a wink south of Paradise) | Posted: Apr 23, 2012 - 13:09 Great stuff! |
| Foot (NorCal / Wine) | Posted: Mar 22, 2012 - 20:02 Sorry, no thanks > PSD here I come but only for the 1st time! |
| Soodonym | Posted: Feb 15, 2012 - 10:23 Heard Caravan Serai as soon as RY and Manuel began prior to this... powerful association with a past desert musical event, hearing this is as evocative as a scent can be in triggering memories. Love the ritards, pacing and flexibility in time... |

Because you are prob. young :) This record was near of the Jazz rock fusion sounds like Return of forever ( C. Corea ), Mahavishnu Orchestra and Larry Corryel band and some more that I got to know and see in the middle of 70's :) |

| Kahoona | Posted: Dec 18, 2011 - 15:49 Fantastic! I have been testing these Big Theil speakers and I just finished listening to Welcome. Then this comes on. Hope the neighborhood likes it as much as I do! I saw Carlos Santana when he was playing with Buddy Miles ans it was fantastic. His records around this time had nearly religious significances to us. Or maybe it was the drugs. |
| BobbyCat (Beyond) | Posted: Dec 13, 2011 - 22:06 Probably one of the best albums ever made, I would say... |

| kingart (Brooklyn NY) | Posted: Aug 09, 2011 - 19:35 Santana was born in 1947, was 25 when this record was cut, only the 4th of his recording career. Incredible, youthful passion to All the Love of the Universe, Every Step of the Way, and the album as a whole. Borboletta should be on the playlist too. Flor de Canela/Promise of a Fisherman. and Practice What You Preach. Some people, hooked on Beck, Hendrix, or Vaughn, can't get into Santana's groove, but I can't get too much of it. Thanks, Bill, for playing this amazing guitarist regularly. |
| beasty7 (Ellsworth, Maine) | Posted: Jun 12, 2011 - 10:11 Beautiful record! Yet another example of how much creativity was pouring out of musicians during that time. And yet this record didn't show up on many people's radar at that time. Thanks for remembering and including it, Bill!!! |
| ncollingridge (Knebworth, UK) | Posted: Jun 12, 2011 - 10:04 Great track from a superb and under-appreciated album. |

| nagsheadlocal (North Carolina, the new New Jersey) | Posted: Apr 05, 2011 - 13:26 Oh, gosh, first year at college and this comes out, confusing millions of Santana fans who expected another Abraxis. But it was one of the heralds of fusion. And unfortunately fusion turned out to be an evolutionary dead end music-wise, but for about a decade we got a lot of very good music. |
| haretic (toward Abad, just south of Maitri) | Posted: Mar 09, 2011 - 16:49 You don't see too many songs with this ratings distribution: 35 "2's" and 37 "9's"! I don't think it's that good or that bad. 7 Back in '72, I would never have had the patience to listen to this... |
| Propayne (Richmond VA) | Posted: Mar 09, 2011 - 16:38 Peepers! Spring is coming |
| mandolin (...drifting...) | Posted: Mar 09, 2011 - 16:38 ...well-played segue through the last four tracks, bill...  |
| SmileOnADog (Arizona) | Posted: Jan 08, 2010 - 10:29 Saw Santana at a university arena show around 1978, what an incredible incandescent performance. I took my kids to see him last year, my 14 year old daughter practically had to be dragged. She stood and screamed/snapped cell phone shots for two+ hours, was totally blown away. Maybe there's hope for the younger generation. |
| shutter (You can't get here from there) | Posted: Jan 08, 2010 - 10:20 Saw John McLaughlin at a college gig in 1972 on his Birds of Fire tour. That show is responsible for at least 10% of my hearing loss. A couple King Crimson concerts did additional damage. But I do remember the shows, though  |
| jagdriver (Just a tad south of Paradise) | Posted: Jan 08, 2010 - 10:18  I've loved this ever since it was first released way back when. |

| Jungle_Jim (Brighton UK) | Posted: Apr 30, 2009 - 20:44 Add Borboletta to your list of great jazz odyssey Santana albums. RedGuitar wrote: I also like "Welcome" and "Love, Devotion, & Surrender" in addition to this. Yes, different from the first three, but fine nonetheless. |
| Jungle_Jim (Brighton UK) | Posted: Apr 30, 2009 - 20:41 One of the greatest albums of all time, bar none.
