ROIO of the Week [Recordings
of Indeterminate Origin]
Santana
MK II
Santana
Live in
Seattle 1972 [no label, 2CD]
Live at Edmundson Pavilion, University of Washington, Seattle, October
15, 1972.
With Coke Escovedo,
David Brown, Michael Carabello, Neal Schon and Greg Rolie gone, Santana
were a new band in 1972 when they toured the West Coast of America and
Canada. Carlos was reportedly sick at heart and depressed. It was during
this time that he was turned on to Sri Chinmoy and became a devotee.
His music however
remained positive as evidenced by the classic Caravanserai and the collaboration
with John McLaughlin on Love, Devotion And Surrender. Santana kept himself
busy with new projects but never lost touch with the band and his classic
tunes.
This concert in Seattle
was recorded by fan Don Amick, who hoisted two microphones on poles 20
feet apart directly in front of the soundboard to capture a stereo image
of the band. A nice spot with hardly any echo in the audience recording.
Everything is clear and sharp.
We have to thank
the hard working Doc Tinker for assembling this recording from the best
source, a first generation copy, which has no tape speed problems.
From the few recordings
that survived from this tour, Santana bravely dropped Black Magic Woman,
Gypsy Queen, Evil Ways and Oye Como Va from the setlist as if to say the
band was bigger than the original musicians who had left.
Latin rock may never
be as influential as it was in the '70s, so be thankful that back then
a guy with a tape deck, two poles with mics attached could get into a
concert hall and archive this show for all to hear 35 years later.

The Little Chicken 
Thanks to Philip Cohen for this comment:
The reason most of the hits were omitted from the show on "Santana - Live in Seattle 1972" is because the group was temporarily without a lead singer, following the exit of singer/keyboardist Gregg Rolie and the arrival of singer/ percussionist Leon Thomas. The very few vocals in this show are by Carlos Santana himself. Reviewer criticisms of Santana's vocals prompted him to hire Leon Thomas, and then many of the hits were reinstated into the show, and the shows became much longer (as on the official "Santana-Lotus".

By 1972, Carlos Santana
was showing signs he didn't want to be just a Latin rocker. His Caravanserai album was still cooking in the studio [finally released Nov 11, 1972].
This would be his most experimental work from the period. The live album
with Buddy Miles was released in August and on the horizon was work with
John McLaughlin on the underrated Love, Devotion And Surrender album.
But the best album of this period remains his lovely Caravanserai with
its multiple personalities to be admired with every fresh listen. Click on the link to order the album.
