I was on the concert in Stockholm Sweden 1981 with this line up - Graham Lear on drums and Richard Baker on keyboard both ex Gino Vannelli are just amazing!!
.....And ya GOTTA LOVE THAT YAMAHA 175 B... it was the precurser to the production model SG 2000, he also had a green one with a hindi woman on the front .....!!.
That's correct. And the overrated Paul Reed Smith doesn't hold a proverbial candle to what Yamaha did. Yamaha worked with Carlos Santana which resulted in the dramatic culmination known as SG2000.
agreed. Sweetest tone Santana ever had. For ballads the Yamaha and the boogie were unbeatable. Carlos was already playing PRS at this time but brought out the Yamaha for Europa, Samba Pa Ti and Incident at Neshabur
That lick that he plays @ 7:11 is from Let Us Go Into the House of the Lord from Love Devotion and Surrender. That was the album he did with John McLaughlin. I always liked that particular lick.
He was already working with Yamaha at this point?! Even before his famous coalition with Tom Coster, and their famous up tempo version (classic) performance of the Peter Green song?! I did not know this!?
if there any bass players out there, can you play this isong without your hands killing you? hahaha This is my all-time favorite Santana recording, bar none...i love the different moods of the whole thing, the dark jazz arrangements on piano, the slow ending...this song is like sex, minus the foreplay ;o)

Agreed - Armando was the best. Is that Greg Rolie on keyboard? Looks like him but I thought he'd left by then and replaced by Tom Coster. Incident is my favourite rock song ever. So many changes of rhythm and beat.
you're right! Plus I can't really tell, but is that a PRS? PRS has that "under a pillow"sound you're talking about...even though they are great guitars!
Yamaha's SG-175. Carlos and Yamaha working together, developed the mother lode of guitars afterward. That would be the SG2000 model. The guitar he played on the absolutely SPECTACULAR, never before or since heard, performance on stage with Tom Coster.
Yamaha's earlier version, this one being the SG-175. When Carlos Santana wanted something more, Yamaha delivered the next gen spectacular instrument! NOT Gibson. That would be the SG2000 he used during the famous performance with Tom Coster on stage.
Man, where and how can I get this concert? I definetely want to get this whole set. You have Santana here playing the classics in the Zebop era, this is unique stuff! From the remaining lineup today appears Raul rekow, Vilato and Peraza were at the percussion, and Chester Thomson was not there yet in keyboards
oh people people people...!!....... Graham Lear is the drummer and the best drummer that carlos has had and David Margen is on bass also his best .....stand up runnin bass solo from marathon was brilliant live !!
@@curiousgeorge555 Get a clue, dimwit, and tell your guitar genius buddies while yer at it. So the note sustains a little sharp or flat. SO WHAT?? Pay attention, won't you? Carlos Santana is using the Yamaha SG-175 in this video. Make a note, pun intended,.. of it, and stick the note on your head so you don't forget. The coalition Carlos had with Yamaha doesn't stop here. He didn't like the weight or feel of the guitar. Unlike most of you guitar wizards who think you know about guitar, which you don't and never have, Yamaha paid attention to what he said. That culminated in an evolution of this instrument to an entirely different design. It is famously called the Yamaha SG2000. The company Yamaha, delivered FLAWLESSLY. Again, be sure and tell your punk buddies. This resulted, therefore, in the absolutely ICONIC performance on stage with the fast tempo version of Santana's hit Peter Green tune. Tom Coster was on keyboards, obviously,.. the band performing the famous composition by Tom Coster as well. There was, and is, absolutely NOTHING like that performance. Again, Carlos using the very much upgraded SG2000. Again, make a note, pun intended, .. of it, and stick the note on your head, and on the collective heads of your ignorant buddies as well. Got it?
And Josef Zawinul was in Africa as well. It's a big continent with a great deal of history. Josef's drummer at the time was also from the coast of east Africa.
No, it isn't. The guitar Carlos is using in this video is a Yamaha SG-175. Make a note, pun intended,.. of it, and stick it on your head so you don't forget. lol
Sounds like he was having equipment problems! The last few times I saw him it pissed me off. It seems like he always has problems with his equipment when I show up! LOL! Notice how he starts out with a rich reverb when his solo comes in at 1:39! Then all of a sudden the reverb is gone and his tone goes thin and dry! Doesn't explain him going sharp but suggests that maybe he was a little off his game because of frustration.
Carlos even said that his approach to music was not, and is not, inspired by any latin, or so-called latin, influences. Just because you incorporate certain elements of things in music, doesn't mean you can define it. Again, as usual, people, the land of the ignorant people, attempt to slap a label on music. And EVERY single time, you people fail. Miserably. Larry Coryell, and his music, who also influenced Carlos Santana, had to set a music critic straight on that subject once before.
You mean, like Herbert Hancock? You mean like George Benson who also inspired Carlos? You guess the most phenomenal musicians in the world had to go on this commercial radio dirge? Umm, ya freakin' think?! Whatever gave you that idea?
Not really! The Yamaha was too bright. It sounded tinny and metallic to my ears. Or maybe it was just the EQ that Carlos was using at the time. But the Les Paul was more fat and warm than his Yamaha. Although the Yamaha did do a good job at times. Tunes like Europa and Tunes on the Swing of Delight LP sounded really nice on the Yamaha! But Santana's signature sound will always be from the period when he played the Les Paul.
That's because Yamaha didn't produce the SG2000 at the time, dimwit. This is the SG-175. Get a clue, make a note, pun intended,.. of it, and stick it on your head. Carlos told them about the problem and Yamaha did something about it. Hence, the guitar sound on the most famous and incredible up tempo version of the Peter Green tune in history! Yamaha made that phenomenal guitar, dimwit. NOT Gibson.
My best Santana song thanx for the post
Thanks so much. I love this song!!!
This is opne of the BEST jams EVER!!! Aw, it would have been amazing to be there :P

Carlos make that guitar cry. Always a great latin beat with feeling. A living guitar legend. aka Classic Bob

This piano is phenomenal!
thanks
Love Graham Lear's Toronto Maple Leaf jersey! That's my Ontario boy!
Fantastic

What a bloody show off! Wonderful! Elisa
i only knewed the live in Japan version from a triple elpee great to sea it on a video

Superb musicianship.

Thanx for this. Incident At Neshubar is hard to find. So thrilling. I love it.
Hard to find? What? .. how? Are you handicapped or something, nitwit?

Richard Baker.
he played in the band '80~'82
It's Graham Lear playing drums...circa 1981-1982...during the Zebop, Shango albums...
thats a nice performance right there...Abraxas was the best album Santana has ever put out...way better than "supernatural"

Who is on keyboards?
¿Quien toca el piano?
That's what I asked this guy. You're the FIRST one out of these clueless idiots that has even asked!
Holy shit! That was AMAZING!!! AAAAH!!!! Love it!!!!
I love the closing, the post peak of the jam...wish it could go on forever.i don't smoke, but anyone got a cig ?
Agreed - Armando was the best. Is that Greg Rolie on keyboard? Looks like him but I thought he'd left by then and replaced by Tom Coster. Incident is my favourite rock song ever. So many changes of rhythm and beat.
my dad is playing drums in this~!
Brian Lear your dad is awesome..saw him play the Moonflower tour....great drummer! You should be proud of him!
Thanks man. I will be sure to pass along the compliment!
hello brian i give to your dad a 10 on my book as far i know you dad play with gino vanelli before but tell me who he got with carlos do you know?
Mike Shrive is your dad? wow great drummer
niceeee
❤
Viva el Santana.. forever..
Gibson???
you're right! Plus I can't really tell, but is that a PRS? PRS has that "under a pillow"sound you're talking about...even though they are great guitars!

was he playin a Yamaha SG2000?or is that a Paul Reed Smith?
Neither one. It's a Yamaha SG-175.
any information on that guitar?
Yamaha's earlier version, this one being the SG-175. When Carlos Santana wanted something more, Yamaha delivered the next gen spectacular instrument! NOT Gibson. That would be the SG2000 he used during the famous performance with Tom Coster on stage.

By the way ...! Carlos had his Les Paul pickups put in the Yamaha.
Which Yamaha? Every one he's played?
and no srv??
Well, i guess it was
the most inspired years of Santana.
The years between 1976 and 1985.
Greets from germany Mike.
Where can I get this video..?
You're lucky you're even seeing it now, let alone getting the video.
oh people people people...!!.......
Graham Lear is the drummer and the best drummer that carlos has had and David Margen is on bass also his best .....stand up runnin bass solo from marathon was brilliant live !!
The sustained note at 3:35 was sharp but i'd bet Carlos wanted it that way for a little tension. ~cg5
So what?

... with a Bob Marley t-shirt...!
@gooneybird47 I'm sure Carlos was counting on that.
Graham Lear looked a little like Mike Shrieve...that's where the confusion happens.
Its a Yamaha Sg2000
No, it isn't. The guitar Carlos is using in this video is a Yamaha SG-175. Make a note, pun intended,.. of it, and stick it on your head so you don't forget. lol
16 years later.... :o)
It’s so cool seeing how 16 years later you’re still here enjoying this masterpiece

ARMANDO ! 6:17
I believe that is a Yamaha SG2000.
I love the tone he gets from this guitar, I personaly think it is better than the Paul Reed Smith Santana models.
No, it isn't. It's an SG-175. Make a note, .. pun intended, of it. And then stick the note, pun intended again,.. and stick it on your head.. lol
shot
Cold and stiff compared to the pre-Amigos line-ups.
Michael Shrieve was the best drummer Santana had. Read a little history of the band.
who's on keyboard?
Martin Power that’s Richard Baker 🎹🎹🎹🔥🔥🔥
I love Carlos but his more recent stuff seems to have lost some of the magic, I guess he's been forced down the commercial road.
You mean, like Herbert Hancock? You mean like George Benson who also inspired Carlos? You guess the most phenomenal musicians in the world had to go on this commercial radio dirge? Umm, ya freakin' think?! Whatever gave you that idea?
still going with the original Satana line up..was such a better version, not that this isn't good
Santana had a lot of accomplished bass players, but David Margen was not one of them. Listen to Doug Rauch, David Brown.
I guess Denis Chambers doesn't count for shit huh?
Not really! The Yamaha was too bright. It sounded tinny and metallic to my ears. Or maybe it was just the EQ that Carlos was using at the time. But the Les Paul was more fat and warm than his Yamaha.
