Santana

In the summer of 1970, Santana was riding high on the success of their third studio album, 'Abraxas,' released just months earlier. This album, which famously features the iconic track 'Black Magic Woman,' helped cement the band's fusion of Latin rock and blues, captivating audiences worldwide. The live recording from the Tanglewood concert, held on July 3, showcases the energy and spontaneity that marked their performances during this vibrant period in their career. With Carlos Santana's soulful guitar riffs and the powerful vocals of Gregg Rolie, this concert is a fantastic snapshot of a band at their peak. Interestingly, 'Abraxas' reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts and has since been recognized as one of the greatest albums of all time, making this live performance not just a concert but a pivotal moment in rock history.
