Santana w/Herbie Hancock, Umbria jazz 2006-07-17, Perugia, Italy, AUD, Commissario Rex series #DD107

I have several recordings made by myself from different concerts I have attended during the last 10 years. The equipment used is a Sony stereo Mic and a Minidisc digital recorder. Recently I have begun to use a Zoom H2 wave recorder. The audio quality is mostly very good and often even excellent, dipending on the quality of sound at the venue of course.
Your feedback and comments will be my reward for all the work involved in this project.

This was the latest concert scheduled for the Umbria jazz Festival 2006. To tell the truth the Festival might had been closed on Sunday, the day before, with the Gary Burton quartet concert (see 'Commissario Rex series #DD106'), but for the first time the festival lasted one day more, till monday, just for this Santana band concert.
The 'Santa Giuliana' Arena was quite full, and part of the people were standing on the terrapin all around but too far from the stage, so I decided to stand half-way from the mixer cage and the stage, at a 20 meters distance from the stage, close to the central cables/wire-connection. Just after half concert Carlos Santana made his congratulations as the Italy team had won the football world cup 10 days before. During 'A love supreme', and at the end of the band introduction, Herbie Hancock joined to the band as a very special guest, performing a long piano improvisation, and then went-on jamming with the band for more than 25 minutes. It was a big surprise for all the audience, especially for me as the day before I missed his evening concert. The audience sang along during all the concert and asked for the encore singing Woodstock rain-chant.
Here you will find some pictures taken from me that night:

Further pictures will be added soon. Any artwork is very welcomed ;-)

Please, note this is an audience recording, about 20 meters distance from the center of the stage, hence the sound quality is not A+.
