    Tell me, Lawrence, does she not have the best legs? Makes me think of a freaking race horse the way they flex. Amazing dancer/model they used. WOW

    And of course Santana playing that guitar like it was nothing...

    My daughter and I were talking and what I would not give to get a chance to have a photo shoot with him. What an amazing artist.

    I don't know about the best legs - to be honest I was distracted by Carlos' axe. I have seen Carlos play 3 times live and one day would love to see him play with another favorite of mine Gato Barbieri.

    Reviewed the clip, yeah - quite a set of legs, but once again, I was distracted by the sweet soundz coming off the frets.

    Ok, Lawrence,

    I typed in Gato Barbieri in You Tube and Up popped my all time favorite of Santana's Europa.

    Why is that. Are they connected? I need an education here. If Gato Barbieri had something to do with Europa, I am missing something. As a child, I used to listen to my LP night after night of Europa till I wore it about out. I loved that song. I have a hard time even knowing it without all the scratches..you know? I had a chance to take my daughter to see him at Crossroads with Eric Clapton and BB King at Crossroads a couple of years back. Oh man. What a Birthday it was for me!

    Thanks for this and the link to Europa,sparkplug.

    Samba pa ti ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WzSayxVM_E0) is my favorite Santana, but Europa is really special.

    Thanks again.

    Sparky-

    Carlos wrote Europa (Earth's Cry Heaven's Smile), and Gato covered it. Love all the versions of the tune. Yes, Clapton; saw him twice - once I had a second row seat - I got a call at 5:30 p.m. one evening and a friend of a friend asked what I was doing that night (Miami). With nothing going on that night, he said he had an extra ticket to see Clapton and would I like to go. I said yes, and then he said, "by the way, it's the second row." Phew! Enough said!

    Oh! NVR!!! Crap! I am going to have to shave my legs again. That first note made every Hair on my body stand straight up! I love that song! I am such a Santana Fan. I guess you cannot grow up 30 minutes from Mexico and not love Santana.

    Funny thing tho' is that when I go see my friends that live 2 hours out of Monterey...they have never heard of Santana. lol. Strange.

    I tell you what. Santana and a good bottle of wine...some dancing shoes. and you have a night to remember! OH MY GOODNESS! This song here...Next and I am up dancing all Night!! The energy of this song is amazing! Just fabulous! I love it!

    Holy COW! (Wonder if that phrase came from India) I would have climbed the walls right then! Sparky on the ceiling!!! What a rush! I bet you will never forget that. What I would not give! I would love that. I cannot even imagine! You lucky dog! Now I am going to have to do some research on Gato. Maybe I already know some of him. I am terrible at knowing names. It take a good many years for names to stick with me. That is terrible I know. But ADD and remembering do not go well together. lol Carlos, he made an impact. Thus, I remember.

    And your avatar. Very 60'ish Like a peace train kind of thing...thus I always remember it. Kind of sticks out. Just thought I would throw that in there. Left field thing.
