We continue our journey of releases featuring the archives of a dedicated West Coast taper and collector who passed away a few years ago. Prior to his passing, he meticulously transferred his extensive archive onto CDR's and entrusted them to a close friend. This friend, a stalwart of the Bay Area music scene for over five decades, understands the importance of sharing these historic shows with the collector's community.

We continue the Santana hit parade with a previously uncirculated in general trading circles, the September 24th Las Cruces show. The setlist mirrors the previous nights Albuquerque but as with all 1974 shows there is plenty of improvisation.

Speaking of improvisation thanks to Goody's sharp ears for identifying Carlos giving us a little bit of "Boogie Woogie Waltz" during the opening number.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the anonymous collector (may he rest in peace) and his motivated friend, who recognized the importance of preserving these historically significant shows before they were lost forever. A special thanks also goes to dime member "davmar77" for facilitating the connection, and to Goody, our pitch master, for his unwavering support of all our historic releases.

Lastly, a big thanks to https://www.santanamigos.com/ for the wealth of information it provides.

Collectors, don't wait until it's too late. Together, we can ensure these invaluable archives reach all who will appreciate their magic, myself and others are here to assist...no tape left behind!

Artwork and newspaper review are included.
