US Festival '82, Glen Helen Regional Park, San Bernardino, CA, 9-4-1982 - Day 2, Part 2: Santana

The second act presented here from Day Two of the 1982 US Festival is a set by Santana.

The act I posted right before this one, Dave Edmunds, has one of the worst sounding audience bootleg recordings from this festival. But luckily, the Santana set is one of the best sounding. That's because of a very rare official release from the festival: "Santana: Live at US Festival." Note this was just a video release, not an audio one, so I had to concert the video file into mp3s.

Also, although the audio quality from that source was great, there were problems. The main one was that the concert performance was occasionally interrupted with other things not from the concert, such as interview segments between some songs. I got rid of all of that extraneous stuff. But I had to put "[Edit]" in the titles of three songs. Those are cases were bits of songs were missing due to those other bits included in the video instead, so I had to patch those up.

In the early 1980s, Santana was in more of a hit making mode, with hits like "Open Invitation," "Hold On," and "She's Not There." So some of the set is like that. But at the same time, the band continued to be jammy and jazzy. That also shows up here, especially with the version of "Incident at Neshabur" that prominently featured legendary jazz keyboardist Herbie Hancock as a guest star.

By the way, note that while I said above that the album from the festival I posted before this one was Dave Edmunds, there actually was another act between that one and this one: Eddie Money. Unfortunately, I couldn't find ANY recording of Money's set, not even a crappy audience bootleg. If anyone can find a recording of it, please let me know. The only sets I regret not having from this festival are the Gang of Four and Eddie Money. I believe I got all the other major acts.

This album is an hour and five minutes long.
