EXC AUD

My Japanese friend sure knows how to record a decent show.
In 2011 the very same taper recorded Antibes, which I shared here. Excellent sound!!!
And no, Antibes is definitely NOT in Japan.... :))
Like that one, this Tokyo show could also be used in the workshop "how to record a Santana show".

Listen to the samples and you know what I mean.

Then the show itself......

NO MARIA MARIA AND NO FOO FOO EITHER.......!!!
This particular audience must have been extremely lucky...haha!
I haven't checked when it was the last time those 2 tracks were played, but it must beem a while.
By including songs like Se a Cabo, Everybody's Everything and Sacalao the Forum show might have
given a hint how a possible setlist of reunion tour in 2014 might look like.

Sacalao is the Spanish version of Chill out, the track with John Lee Hooker.That title was an adapted
by the Spanish Vargas Blues Band. Carlos played that tune togetherith them in January 2000 during the promo tour for
Supernatural.

The clip can be found here:

By adding some horns it's become a killer tune!

A bit out of place, but quite well-sung by Tommy Anthony, was the Police cover Message in a bottle. That guy sure sounds like Sting.
