[ramses1401]

LAS NOTAS QUE TOCA SANTANA,SALEN DE SU CORAZÓN!!!!

[NateParton]

this is santana at his best

[ejc1974]

This song makes me laugh and cry at the same time. Carlos and the band bring that same love with it... great stuff!!! Thanks Carlos... Love is Real... Not Fade Away.

If you listen to the live version of "Whipping Post", by The Allman Brothers from live at the Fillmore East, when they slow down the tempo in the middle of the jam, it sound like they're trying to emulate In A Silent Way by Miles Davis.

[twangville]

@gus4u2c it never crossed my mind - but.....

[RockTheLord]

holy shit! Santana on Strat!!

[69MC97gc]

Yes...and it is so Damn Beautiful.Dig this.

[Pan3405]

though the quality of the video was miserable Everyone who loves music and is passioned, can feel and hear the incredible love of Carlos Santana when he plays!! It sooo much better than the version of John McLaughlin that I just saw on You tube

[fanofprotopic]

this doesn't have the main body of the song.....the version on "Fillmore...the Last Days" has the unedited version.

[69MC97gc]

This version,how distorted the sound is,is the Love is the Fare Theee Well to and for Joe Zawinul...If you knew Joe,he would had laughed and said...Man,your guitar is,and your band is copperheaded.

[l09mcglm]

that friend of his is Joe Zawinul...

[cty01]

I've never heard him playing so emotionally. When he comes up with his trademark latino-blues stuff in the last part he totally makes the tune his own meanwhile transcending it to heaven. This is so beautiful.

[romainlabaye]

He is talking About Joe Zawinul!! Joe Passed away the 11th of september 2007. I miss him very much...

[stewmacman]

different but intriguing...i dont think ihave ever seen carlos play a strat before!!???

[azharkamal]

a very touching rendition. i am also going to post one on my site. check it out asap.

[SANTANAPATI805]

im sorry for the guy who passaways i saw this video today and i was so touch i by it i cried because i felt what mr snatana felt that his friend passways and i can see in his eye that he was about to tear up and cry. its how amazing mr santana is you can feel his emotions on his song

[CREDITS4CARBON]

SANRANPAT, you feel it because it is the love of one talented person for another talented person. Love is the most powerful force in the universe.

[ericlemes]

I really don't know why I like Miles Davis. Joe Zawinul is the composer of this tune, but Miles did it famous. Is really nice to hear Santana doing this tune and the people knowing and loving this. I recommend listening the original Miles "In a Silent Way". Maybe lots of times.

[arroyo284]

I love this tune - Carlos plays it as well as anyone. Anyone here read the recent interview with John McLaughlin, where he said that Miles got him to play this tune this way by asking him to play it as if he was learning to play guitar - slow it down. Carlos captures it perfectly.

[aztlanblues]

Santana does a live version of In a Silent Way with a slightly different arrangement on the soundtrack to Fillmore: The Last Days (1972), a double-CD set taken from recordings made during closing week at Bill Graham's Fillmore West. Those who appreciate this sound over Santana's recent collaborative albums might also like Caravanserai (1972). The sound influenced by Miles and 'Trane hinted at possibilities never realized.

Moody, atmospheric, and haunting--perfect.

[elpachucomiguel]

yeah, I had heard that song before and it's more like a Jam. This is a tribute to a dearly departed friend. Good information for the occasional listener though!!!

[MilesTrane21]

The guy who died was named Joe Zawinul, an amazing keyboardist who wrote several classic compositions. As Santana said, he played with Miles Davis and was one of the founding members of Weather Report. He wrote this while in Vienna looking over a park while it was snowing and his wife was sleeping.

[boiledrootbeer]

@aztlanblues That's right!

[dalung]

Maybe Carlos still knows who he really is deep down when it really matters. And he's from the same brotherhood as Joe.

[elpachucomiguel]

I think he's probably just waiting for the right moment to give us all his hymns of peace; the ones that we have come to love forever.

[dalung]

i hope so. i believe he is still the legend inside. but, other people are keeping him off the path.

[elpachucomiguel]

BEAUTIFUL!!!

[dalung]

exactly.
