Coming to a Native American casino near you.
All a friend can say is ain't it a shame.
Saw Santana live in Denver, the old Rainbow Music Hall around 1980. Learned what “contact buzz” meant

This will probably suck worse than the original.
The people who played Woodstock didn’t always wind up so great down the road.
One of Johnny Winter’s band mates tried to convince his fellow prison inmates that he’d played Woodstock. It had to sound like a hell of a boast/lie to the other prisoners.

Seems like Santana did him a solid.
He’s on the album (which means royalties), and he’s going to tour with the band next year.
Certainly seems like a chance for Malone to get his life back on track.
They need to change their evil ways.
Which did he like better: Woodstock or prison?
The food was about the same.
The bathroom and shower facilities were better in the prison.
lol.
It reminds me of the recording of Love’s “Forever Changes.”
The band members were strung out, so Arthur Lee went into the studio with studio musicians (”even a female bassist,” the liner notes say, not mentioning Carol Kaye), which shocked the band members into pulling themselves together.
Santana, the Che Guerva t-shirt-wearing commie punk.
It wouldn’t be FR if someone didn’t point it out.

I did lighting on his first tour, in Milwaukee and Chicago. He was a boring player then, and he’s still playing the same boring stuff now. He’s got a hook, and he’s not capable of going beyond it. BORING!
I’d say that was probably the “Distance” Malone mentioned.
Santana told him he had to get clean for this chance.
Addicts never see themselves at fault for anything.

I watched the documentary about “The Wrecking Crew” last week on NetFlix. Lots of interview time with Carol Kaye. She was (and is) really remarkable. I had no idea that they did the studio work for Santana.
The eponymous “Santana” album came out in Aug ‘69 just as this young freshman was heading off to college. Was my first exposure to Latin / Jazz / Rock fusion. Great memories of that first effort by Sr. Santana.
I have a question: If the guitar player is boring, what do you as a lighting guy have to do to save the show?
