“I started writing this song in 1966 or ’67, but didn’t finish it until ’75 when we were on tour with Earth, Wind and Fire, in Manchester, England. We were backstage while they were on stage playing. And we were just warming up, tuning up. I started playing it and [keyboardist] Tom Coster and I completed it right there on the spot. It immediately became a crowd favorite; it is one of those songs that, whether it’s played in Japan or in Jerusalem or in South America, it just fits right in with everything.” - Carlos Santana
( Love this song, Santana gets some beautiful tone from his YAMAHA SG2000 and nice use of a wah pedal in the middle to change it up. What's up with the chef's uniform though??!! I guess he is cooking up some nice tone! - Ed)
