I am usually leery of artist “bootleg” or non-official recordings. They typically lack the production results I want. My music collection is 99% official commercial music releases.
My niece gave me a wonderful Christmas gift surprise this year. The vinyl recording, “Santana Rynearson Stadium, Ypsilanti MI, 25-05-75”. I had never seen or heard of this live recording. I was happily stunned 🙂
Klondike Records has done Santana and the listener justice. This recording is based on a King Biscuit Flower Hour radio broadcast. It is Digital Remastered and pressed onto 180 Grade vinyl. It sounds great on my Audio Technica turntable.
Santana was the headline act that day with Special Guest Stars, Peter Frampton’s Camel, and Lynard Skynard.

Like you I’m not into bootlegs! I’m glad its turned out well! I love santana! not obly his music but his standing on world peace and harmony! He’s a good man as well as a great artist!
I appreciate your sentiment, thanks for writing.
Hi, I have a question. What kind of music do you practice?
Do you mean play on an instrument? Piano
That is so cool. I’m actually a piano player too. Can you read music? What are some of your tips to kids that want to explore music?
I can read music to a degree but would like to be more fluent. I trust you can read sheet music. Be open to tonality, ideas, listen with your feelings and emotions, for starters.
I have little knowledge of bootlegs but LOVE Santana. I grew up on Carlos’ music!
Today live concerts can be found on Web sites, fans trade them with each other. Santana is classic Nancy, I have seen him 21 times live but finally drew the line with his shows.
Same.
Are you a fan of Sympathy 5 by Beethoven?
Not much of a classical listener that and opera are my weak spots
I have tried many times to play it.
Enjoyed Santana live at The Night of the Hurricane in Houston 1976. Great musician and inspiring person. King Biscuit Flower Hour brings back memories too 🙂
