Thats how I felt at the Santana gig last night at the MSG. Me and my friend were the only 2 on the favorable side of 30 in our section of the crowd! Most of them were right out of Woodstock; they had just taken 30 years off to age some. Where were the young'uns?? Has Carlos Santana lost out on favor with them? Don't too many of us youngsters appreciate that kind of music?
The concert itself was phenomenal! The opening act by Los Lonely Boys set the stage (they were really good!) for The Master to thrill the audience with some of his popular numbers (Jingo, Smooth, Maria, Black Magic Woman, etc.) interspersed with some not-too-well known Spanish numbers (which were just as good too). The vocalist, Andy Vargas did a great job and the rest of the ensemble..wow! 3 percussionists, a sax player, trumpet, bass, another guitarist, keyboard, piano - super stuff! Hardly realised 4 hrs passing through - wonderful music!
Song of the night: hmm..Oye Como Va
