Last time I saw Santana was in Indianapolis in November 1990, from front row center. Tickets had
gone onsale a day earlier than advertized, due to a newspaper misprint, so I'd had my pick of the litter.
It took 27 years before I felt like I had an almost-as-good opportunity . . . in this case a 5th row
seat right in front of the PA stack. It was 103� when Carlos took the stage at 8:20 pm. Even though
he's about to turn 70, he didn't take an intermission nor did he make a single dry heat joke. He played
nonstop until 11:05 pm. Micki Free appeared for a few minutes on tracks 16 through 18. Track 17 was
actually a mis-cue . . . Carlos gestured for the piano player to take over, but Micki was already running
to the front of the stage to solo. Carlos just laughed and ran with it. Cell phone photos included.
I'm not 100% sure about track titles 15 to 19. Please post corrections if you have them. Enjoy!
