Carlos Santana collapses on stage tonight. This doesn't look good.

Seeing fans that were in attendance saying it was really hot and really humid.  Hopefully, he just got dehydrated and overheated.

Santana III, aka “The Man with the Outstretched Hand” is a desert island album for me. Get well, Carlos.

Oye, como va?

Be well, Carlos.

Bill Graham was once the promoter for Santana. He recounts in his autobiography how he first met the teenage Carlos sneaking into the Fillmore through an upstairs window.

I’ve probably told this story before so I’ll give the short version. It was a relatively small theater and Carlos was in the middle of a guitar solo. The stage was dark except for a spotlight on him. Some woman had the nerve to hold up a pad and pen, seeking an autograph. Carlos looked at her, looked up with his eyes closed, almost like he was in prayer. Then he stopped playing. The band vamped on while he took the pad and pen and gave the woman his autograph. Then he returned to his solo. I couldn’t believe the nerve of that woman nor the grace of that man.

“Manager Michael Vrionis in a statement that Santana was taken to an emergency room for observation and that he was "doing well."”

Hopefully he's OK.  Extremely underappreciated guitarist, IMO.

are we sure that @jimmyjazz's hatred of all things PRS didn't lead to a terrorist plot?

Busted.

Did I ever mention what I think of Santana's tone?  Probably not the right thread.

It was a hot one. Like seven inches from the midday sun.

Not a huge fan, but don't dislike him, either. I will say he put on one of the worst shows I've ever seen. Just mailed it in.

I don’t know. I’ve never seen a bad Santana show.

Well, he's okay, but he's no Jorge Santana:

I first saw Santana live in 1975. 
 

That’s 47 freaking years ago. 🤯

This thread needs more Santana.

And Carlos was tripping balls at Woodstock.

abraxas is a great album, and this song seems appropriate...
