Some die-hard Santana get the shivers when the late 70s and the start of the 80s are mentioned.

I have to be honest.....the albums from that era are not always very good and songs like Winning,

All I ever wanted, Lighting in the sky are not the best the band has given us... )

But the the live shows......far better than the albums.

There have been some memorable moments in those years:

Bottom Line 10-78

Osaka 10-79

Berkeley 05-80

Dortmund 06-80

Old Waldorf 02-81

Tokyo 08-81(with Takanaka)

This FM recordings has some great songs:

- Tales of Kilimanjaro (superb)

- Aquamarine (the only good song from Marathon??), unfortunately the only "problem" in the recording, it fades in.

- Transcendance (great track from Moonflower) with great jazzy interlude.

- The version of Samba Pa Ti is nice as a closer.

Also fine is the guest appearance of Al DiMeola on Shake your moneymaker.

This results in a nice jam!
