I am a great Santana fan - he shares my birthday so it must be psychic. In my eyes he can do no wrong. People criticise his guitar playing for being too much of a showing off of his prodigious talent, or too samey from one track to the next. I can live with that criticism but I ask you to listen to some of the 'sampling' he does in his albums (listen to Lotus, one of his earliest for an example. Anyway there is some of that here in what otherwise is pretty much standard live album fare - play the hits and numbers that fans want to hear. But he and an excellent band play them really well - well worth the entrance fee!

Wonderful pair of headphones
Fantastic sound - I have had a pair of Sennheisers for many years. These Focals were a special treat for myself and I only wish I had not waited so long. Excellent stereo space. Only issue is the length of the cable - it's too short

Great songs, but...
Not sure why this does not come off for me in the way that it should have, given the choice of great songs (some personal favourites of mine) and some nice, albeit a bit unadventurous, arrangements. Beautifully produced by Richard Perry ( you would expect nothing less)I can only conclude that the problem is Carly Simon's voice, which nice though it is, does not seem entirly suited to these songs, in a way that, for example, Linda Ronstadt's did in her series of classic song albums and ultimately all of the songs have been done better by other artists. Certainly very listenable but it makes me seek out some definitive versions of these classics
