So much intensity, and fire, over just 3 chords (sometimes two) with a guitarist, bass, Hammond, drummer (with only two toms and 3 cymbals) and two (three if you count Maraca Man) percussionists. 1970 Santana, Tanglewood; dayam.

And more Angine de Poitrine (this is filmed in HDR, stunning to watch if you have a suitable screen). And for two guys to get a club full of folks to clap along, in 9/4 time (I think) at about the 3/4 mark, is hella cool!

Anyone else listen to the "Professor of Rock" ewetube channel? It's a favorite of mine, he does a deep dive into particular artists and their history, or sometimes a "Greatest Ten whatever" in rock. Here, he counts down his top Eight weirdest songs in history:

I was a Dr. Demento fan in high school, so this was right up my alley. Some interesting things I learned:
- The guy who played Will Robinson on 1960's Lost in Space also recorded that seminal masterpiece, Fish Heads
- Peter Gabriel studied mass murderers for a song
- I need to listen to PF's UmmaGumma
- I didn't know the background of The Shaggs, wow.
