    In case you're wondering, the announcer, whose name I can never nail down, says at the beginning of the album, "Thank you all for waiting so long. The Santana Group will now hold a minute of silence. I think this meditation will lead to a truly wonderful performance today, but I would like to ask for your cooperation. And please enjoy the performance until the end." That they did.

      I have three of this pressing and they sound superb! Japanese know how to do it.

        Lotus > peak Santana. Whole band is firing, locked in and at times transcendental in this live recording. Santana plays with chaotic, ionate and nuanced guitar. What a night of spiritual music. The album art work, composition is the perfect compliment. If Everyone owned this, the world would be a better place.

          It's probably the best sounding live album I've ever heard !
