🎸 May 26 Sun: Winterland, San Francisco, CA

Carlos Santana is guest of John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra on: A Love Supreme.

Quote from Jim Deplitch (Jan 2, 2004): While the Winterland crowd cheered on the Mahavishnu Orchestra to come back for an encore, I caught a glimpse of what appeared to be Carlos Santana standing in back of the stage equipment. I grabbed my friend's camera and bolted to an empty seating area slighlty above and behind the stage. While Carlos was warming up with some scales, I yelled something encouraging to him. He turned with a huge smile, and paused just long enough to let me get the pic before going up front. Carlos looked so happy to be there, and the fans greeted him with excitement and warmth. Another memorable night!

Note: Michael Shrieve is replaced by “Ndugu” Leon Chancler.

Quote from Carlos Santana (The Universal Tone 2014): We were almost done with the new album and getting ready for our first tour in six months when Shrieve got very sick and had to go into the hospital with kidney stones. I called Ndugu---he played on one track for Borboletta because it looked like Shrieve needed more time to recover---and I asked him to come on the road with us. (…) I wasn’t thinking of disengaging Michael Shireve from the band when he got sick, but that was what happened. (…) Shrieve leaving Santana was the band’s final step in its evolution from being a collective to being a group with two leaders to finally being a group in which I alone was in charge. Shrieve was the last connection to the old band, the last person whom I would confer with and sometimes defer to. (p368-369)
