My favorite album of all time. These guys were so superb. Carlos is still amazing.

ｻﾝﾀナ世紀の傑作"キャラバンサライ""風は歌う"の官能～ｱ­ﾚｱｽ､ﾐﾝｺﾞ･ﾙｲｽそしてﾏｲｸ･ｼｭﾘｰﾌﾞのリズム隊­に乗りカルロスのｷﾞﾀｰが呻く!

I remember when I rode my bike to see my dad . . . the cover was on its side, leaning onto the console(remember . . . the large, wide as a couch consoles?) . . . I asked about the album and he said "It's on the turntable. I just picked it up." I laid the stylus onto the grooves, checked the volume(I miss that era of recording . . . tunes were recorded to be played at high volume, without being loud) . . . and I was taken into the tunes . . . bliss.

This song has gotten to my marrow since 72, goes through me like lightening! Still does.

How is it that I have always liked Santana and I had never heard this song until now? This is great.

My favorite cut from my favorite Carlos album, but I agree that you have to listen to it straight through, as the songs flow together.

[MegaRubbersoul]

This does'nt sound like Carlos's playing?

[Orbitform1]

Agreed - played in on all formats thru the years and still love it.
