1975 LP Columbia 66325
1973 CD Columbia C2K-46764
1973 CS Columbia C2T-46764

Recorded Live at Osaka Koseinenkin Hall, Japan, July 3-4 1973.



Recorded in Japan in July 1973, this massive live album, originally on three LPs and now on two compact discs, was available outside the United States in 1974 but held back from domestic release until long into the CD age. It features the same "New Santana Band" that recorded Welcome and combines that group's jazz and spiritual influences with performances of earlier Latin rock favorites like "Oye Como Va."

Long held as a talisman by Santana fans, who had to buy it as a triple-LP Japanese import before Columbia finally issued it on CD in 1991, Lotus is a live album that finds Carlos Santana and his octet (a.k.a. the New Santana Band) at a nexus between rock, Latin music, jazz fusion, and spiritually driven communiqués to the gods. Some of the early hits are performed, such as "Black Magic Woman" and "Oye Como Va," but long, intense instrumentals are the order of the day, as on the breathtaking "Incident at Neshabur," "Every Step of the Way," and "Toussaint L'Overture."

Daniel Durchholz, Amazon.com essential recording



Santana Fans, die diese Sammlung lange Zeit wie einen Talisman betrachteten, mußten diese 3 LPs als japanischen Import kaufen, bevor 1991 endlich von Columbia eine CD veröffentlicht wurde. Lotus ist ein Live-Album, auf dem wir Carlos Santana und sein Oktett (auch bekannt unter dem Namen "New Santana Band") an einer Schnittstelle finden zwischen Rock, lateinamerikanischer Musik, Jazzvarianten und spirituell motivierten Mitteilungen an die Götter. Einige seiner früheren Hits werden dargeboten wie z.B. "Black Magic Woman" und "Oye Como Va", aber lange intensive Instrumentalstücke stehen auf der Tagesordnung wie das atemberaubende "Incident at Neshabur", "Every Step of the Way" und "Toussaint L'Overture".

Daniel Durchholz, Amazon.de



Anno 1973 wähnte sich Carlos Santana bereits Guru-mäßig erleuchtet - doch was der Gitarrist und seine Backing-Giroup seinerzeit in Kyoto auf drei LPs mitschneiden ließen, war alles andere als lasches Gedudel. In langen, teilweise psychedelisch angehauchten Sound-Ausflügen bliesen die Latino- Rocker überwiegend Volldampf, selbst bei Hits wie Black Magic Woman oder Samba Pa Ti. 100prozentig sauber intoniert Don Carlos allerdings nicht immer, dafür stimmt die digitale Sound-Aufbereitung auf Doppel-CD.
