Format:Audio CD
Catching the band on the cusp of their two finest phases, one as the tour de force extended jam of Latin infused blues rock, the other as a smooth, well produced soul/funk, tight song oriented band, this album is a classic.

The Latin infused blues rock era is caught live on tour in Europe in 1976, while the soul/funk tight song oriented direction is heard for the 1st time with all new studio cuts. Both styles are scattered across all 4 sides and melded together seamlessly.

"Dawn/Go within" starts the album, a studio cut which fades in beautifully and then funks along nicely until the huge roar from the crowd makes it obvious that we're been transported to the start of the live show. "Carnaval/Let the children play/Jugando" are delivered en suite, with the high point being the very 1st time we hear Carlos play the guitar on Carnaval; deliberatley held off for as long as poss. for maximum effect.

Even before the crowd stop cheering "I'll be waiting" has begun, and we're back in the San Francisco studio for one of Carlos' finest love songs ever. The guitar solo is fab too, with some deliciously seductive picking. "Zulu" is a platform for bassist David Margden.

Side 2 (yes, I have this on vinyl!) contains the legendary "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen" and "Europa", both live, and, I believe, better than their studio originals for it. Carlos uses his trademark feedback sustain on both expertly, and you can hear him toying with it and making sure it's there when he needs it.

Side 3, and we're back in the studio with (what was until recently) the bands biggest hit; "She's not there". This is proof that covers can be better than originals (sorry Zombies, your's was great, this is awesome). The title track "Flor d'luna" follows, a medlodic Latin instumental and great for playing along to; both lead & ryhthm parts. "Soul sacrifice" takes us back into the concert arena for the bands percussion showcase. Skin up and get yer bongos out.

Side 4 wraps things up with a perfect balance of half live & half studio tracks. Highlights are "Transcendance" (studio), an excercise in crescendo, featuring possibly the best solo on the album with some stunning right hand technique, and "Toussaint L'overture" (live) which is the perfect climax to this classic album.

Carlos has never bettered this before or since, and this is one album you simply can't live without.

Format:Audio CD
I originally bought this album in the late 70's as a 2 disc LP, but as my record player became redundant I transferred to MP3. If I had to own just one Santana album then this would be the one!
It was an interesting concept to mix new studio recordings with more established live tracks - and it works wonderfully! There is still a freshness listening to the studio tracks of which Transcendance & Zulu are my favourites. However, the live versions of Dance Sister Dance & Europa are stunning and I've never heard better versions of these tracks since.
O.K. so I'm a Santana fan but it was listening to this album that made me a fan in the first place and one of main reasons that I learned to play drums, bongos & percussion. Enjoy!

F;lora de luna ! 17 Dec 2004
By Dreams beyond the Rainbow VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
On tour with two mighty albums at the time, Amigos and Festival. Here we have the best from those two albums trunked over Europe and Uk.Truely great tracks. However, hold tight, be prepared to be completely blown out of your seat with the best drum solo ever performed by a young Raul Rekow !! beyond breathtaking, and Carlos sweeping, almost, weeping guitar, sends shivvers into areas you didn't know you had !
Listen to the fantasic crescendo voice on just the opening of Transcendance(by Greg Walker) this song lifts you byond that Moonflower! Wonderful Album,simply take you to moon & back!

Great Album
A really, really great album. This used to be one of my favourite albums on vinal and probably my favourite Santana album. Great to have it on disc now.

Like they say. Brilliant, Fantastic, Beautiful.
What else to say that hasn't been said by the other reviewers. I'll just add my voice to those who say: 'Don't even think about it. Get the best deal you can and then buy ! Read more

Not much to add really except to endorse the other reviews saying this is Santana's best guitar playing. Certainly his most awesome guitar tone! Read more
