Esau Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Hmmm,theres a possiblity I may want to hit this one up also.Although its going depend on finances (doesn't it always) I really want to hit Winnipeg for the folk festival,which is my primary objective. Think the last show I caught Santana at was Kingswood July 22nd '94 CSN played the next night.Great double header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see Santana for the first time until the year later with Jeff Beck and Keb 'Mo on the bill as well. I would definitely try and get to the Winnipeg Folk Festival if I were you Esau, I now can't wait to see the Gourds at bonnaroo this year! Tomorrow I'll be looking for their CD's in Toronto.

That's funny, I went to both of those shows too. Didn't Fleetwood Mac open up for CSN that night? I always used to get a season's pass for Wonderland, and I used to see a crapload of cheap shows there for years on end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fleetwood Mac lineup was Mick Fleetwood and John McVie with Dave Mason on guitar and vocals, Delany & Bonnie Bramlett's daughter on vocals and somebody else that I don't recall. But no Lindsey, Stevie or Christine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Hey hamilton, I just looked it up and the others in Fleetwood Mac in 1994 were Billy Burnette on guitar and vocals (which makes sense as he was a member in the eighties as well) and Steve Thoma on keyboards. Also Delaney and Bonnie's kids name is Bekka. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elemeno Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 ya the csn 94 show's i seen had fleetwood mac opening.csn was weak and fleetwouldbemac was surprisingly good, the acid was better back then. i think esau must have been popping hits and everything he heard that night sounded like black magic woman!!!

CyberHippie Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Before Supernatural Santana was a great band to see live. Maybe enough time has passed since the pop phase for the band to have gotten back to their roots... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Nope. Saw them two years ago, was the only show i've ever walked out of...Rusted Root opening put on a better show... But, each to his own. I still can't believe i passed up Bob Dylan (playing a few nights later) to see Santana (could only afford to see one, and i hadn't seen Santana, and had seen bob twice....mistake) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Evil_Mouse Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 That's a shame - caught that Kingswood show in 94 too, having been blown away at their show in Montreal at La Ronde in 90 - I'd hate to think that he's pandering to schmaltz (of course he is), but then he does seem have a kind of dialectic in his career. Maybe he needs to slip back into obsurity again before the magic starts again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamH Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Who is Santana playing with these days? I caught a bit of a duet with him and Wayne Shorter on PBS a while ago and he was so respectful to Wayne. He'd play a nice little bit and then just stop entirely and give Wayne all the room he wanted. Of course my dream of hearing disc two of Lotus is pretty much dead in the water now. Still one of the best albums I've ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondtube Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 i saw that too... carlo's expression while watching Shorter was priceless... i couldn't even imagine sharing the stage with a legend like Wayne Shorter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Carlos Santana is nothing if not humble. Oh yeah, and Lotus is a fu©king great album. I think I'll put it on right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
