This sounds like it could actually work, first 4 Santana lp's were a very special time, Abraxas start to finish is a gem. Throw in 2 songs from the first Journey album as a surprise in the middle of the set....just dreaming.......
You can buy both sets of the Sunrise Florida show at Wolfgang's Vault in FLAC no less. And that was one smokin' night! Definitely buy both sets because the set list is different and even on the songs that are duplicated, they have been jammed out so much they sound entirely different! I'm looking forward to a true Santana reunion. I saw them last year with the Allmans opening and Santana was absolutely awful, particularly his keyboard player was so mediocre, even Richard Baker from the Zebop/Shango era sounded better! The only awful show I ever saw Santana do in the 5 or 6 times I've seen his band since 1981.

How can this not be good news? i want to see the tour too.
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
I would love to see this! Hope it happens... and that it's not too expensive.
Also, I just recently read (but forget where) McLaughlin say he'd like to reunite with Carlos in honor of the 40th anniversary of the release of Love, Devotion, Surrender. How cool would that be?

Sounds good- much better than the elevator music Carlos has been doing.
Thanks. I'll be having nightmares tonight.
I was on the fence with Shape Shifter. On one hand I enjoyed the fact that he did something with a less comercial theme to it and I liked alot of the music, BUT....on the other hand, it seemed very sterile and lacking emotion with modern day brick walled production and synthetic keyboards. I feel as though it could have been much much better, but then much much worse also.
