Oct 26 Mon: Release of "Abraxas"

Dec:
Santana #5 (Left to Right):
Neal Schon (g)
Michael Shrieve (ds)
David Brown (b)
Carlos Santana (g/perc/vo)
Gregg Rolie (kbd/vo)
Jose "Chepito" Areas (perc)
Michael Carabello (perc)
Note: Neal Schon accepts to be the 7th official member of Santana after declining an offer to be part of Eric Clapton’s Derek And The Dominos.
Quote from Neal Schon (When did you officially join Santana?): The night after I played with Derek and the Dominos at the Berkeley Community Theater (Nov 19, 1970), and Eric Clapton asked me to join that band. The Santana guys found out about it, and asked me to join them right after that so I wouldn’t join Eric's band. I was really excited about playing with Eric, because he’d taught me so much through his records about improvising. I’d spent hours listening to the live record in Wheels of Fire, learning how he’d twist rhythms and play cross-rhythms over the top of drum, it completely openend my mind up to the possibilities of improvisational guitar-playing. I first played on Santana’s third album, after Abraxas. The Tower of Power horns were on there. I also played on Caravanserai, and the last project I did with Carlos was the live album with Buddy Miles recorded in Hawaii at the Crater Festival.
