I really, really enjoy hearing the relatively clean tone Carlos' employs here rather than the overly sustained tones he seems to have relied on more on later recordings. To my ears, this sounds more personal, intimate, and it carries more emotion.

"the carefree 70's"

Whuut?

Cold-war manifestations all over the place; coups, civil wars, upheavals by the dozens; OPEC oil embargo, recessions, stagflation; Watergate; Vietnam chaos; Soviet Union invasion of Afghanistan; Pol Pot genocide in Cambodia; Iranian revolution and hostage crisis; massacre at the Munich Olympics; right-wing dictatorships in South America; bombings and Bloody Sunday in Northern Ireland; millions killed in famines and natural disasters…

Elevator music as usual from Santana.



If elevators actually played this kind of music I'd miss my floor.

I can hear how  REM were inspired, 'Underneath the Bunker' on Life's Rich Pageant!

Extremely corny, one of their worst songs.

Very well stated!

I'll always have a place in my heart from some classic Santana. Had the rare (for me) opportunity to attend his show at the Teatro Greco in Sicily last week - the man still has it and when he started into "Moonflower"... I was in my own little heaven - despite the dumbasses walking in front of me arriving late and leaving early — WTF! {#Arghhh} Anyway, back to my bliss....{#Meditate}

Worked in a record store when this came out.  Listened to it a lot.  Loved the part in the live "Europa" (I think that's the tune) where Carlos hits a note that sustains for a long time.  We used to time it!

De volta ao estúdio, a guitarra de Carlos Santana!
O disco "Guitar Heaven", reuni clássicos da música, é o primeiro gravado em estúdio desde "All That I Am", de 2005.
O lançamento do álbum foi feito no cassino Hard Rock Hotel (Las Vegas), e o músico promete mais 16 apresentações em um local intimista, entre janeiro e maio de 2011.
Em "Guitar Heaven" Santana conduz com as notas de sua guitarra um time eclético de músicos e estilos, onde sons extremamente opostos se unem em nome de algo valioso, a música.
No time de convidados que participam do CD estão a cantora americana de soul India Arie, Gavin Rossdale, do Bush, que cantou "Bang A Gong" (T. Rex),( destaque para o ritmo inusitado em que foi revisitado o som, meio latino tropical), Scott Weiland em "Can't You Hear Me Knockin'" (Rolling Stones), Joe Cocker, que também lançou um disco recentemente, está em "Little Wing" (Jimi Hendrix) e Ray Manzarek participa de "Riders On the Storm" (The Doors). A lista segue ainda com a pegada rock de Cornell em "Whole Lotta Love" (Led Zeppelin), o rapper Nas,que deixou suas rimas em "Back in Black" (AC/DC), e o violoncelista Yo-Yo Ma.
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (The Beatles), foi a faixa que foi escolhida para divulgar o novo trabalho de guitarrista nas rádios brasileiras. Ainda sobre o som de "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", Santana afirmou, "E para você sentir que você é importante, tem um significado, você faz a diferença no mundo".
Vale conferir!

Can recognize a Santana instrumental from two towns over.

A cracking number from a classic album, part live, part studio, that has aged surprisingly well
