Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles - Live! - Speakers Corner LP

Gatefold jacket

This album documents a live 1972 get-together of Santana and a grandiose group of musicians together with Jimmy Hendrix’s ex-drummer Buddy Miles at the Sunshine Festival in Hawaii. Inspired by the electrifying atmosphere we hear the smacking sound of an organ in John McLaughlin’s "Marbles", lush rocking Latin grooves in "Lava" and gospel-like vocal artistry in "Evil Ways". After an intensively re-worked version of the old favorite "Them Changes," in which the band certainly lets one know that they can be "heavy" when they want, the musicians let themselves go in 25 improvised minutes in "Free Form Funkafide Filth". Such unleashed power could never be tamed and captured on tape in the studio simply because it can only be created in the freedom of an open-air stage.
