Takes me back to my student days - great! Audience performed at my college in 1972. I still have the vinyl.

Samba pa ti - Santana

Great Comment.  To this day when I hear a Santana song like this one, I think:  Is there any other guitarist who can always play the exact right note, with the exact right tone for the exact amount of time like Carlos Santana?  Maybe.  But no one comes to mind.

 
I saw Santana at the UK Birmingham NEC (good acoustics BTW) some four years ago and he blew me away - kept up a salsa beat for more than an hour and my heart was beating...

I remember Santana from my student days in the '70s and NEVER expected to be so impressed when I heard him live recently.

I DO know why he wears a hat ;-)

Man, this has aged well.

Manzanera on that linear melodic guitar line, MacKay without his usual abrasive honking but still managing to contribute that pretty little interlude. And Ferry in his Italian shoes, the party over, he's so tired.

 
:-) Takes me back to student days with a smile!

Tuesday Afternoon - The Moody Blues

this is the musical equivalent of eating unsalted mashed potatoes.  I guess some people like it 

 
Compared with other (UK) compositions of its era, it's pretty poor - I like your analogy.

We used to call them The Pseudy Blues...

Who Feels Love - Oasis
Posted 5 years ago by Pete-the-Nete:
oasis were quite a good pub band, but they really shouldn't have released any albums or likened themselves to The Beatles.

Legend of a Mind - The Moody Blues

Ah - the Pseudy Blues. Never a favourite band of mine. Each to his own, eh?
