Santana - Lotus (SA-CD)

Lotus is a 1974 live album by Santana, recorded at performance in Osaka, Japan in 1973. It was originally released in 1974 as a triple vinyl LP in Japan only. The first U.S. release was in 1991 as a 2-CD set. It features the "New Santana Band" and combines that group's jazz and spiritual influences. Some of the band’s biggest hits are performed, such as "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va" as well as several extended, intense and breathtaking instrumentals. Carlos' super powered guitar is mesmerizing, the entire atmosphere is otherworldly, modern jazzy and most of all, electrifying.
