Live Santana...


Looking at live with BUddy miles, Lotus, and Moonflower...of the 3 which one is the best recording...and which one the best performance...have heard Lotus has slightly inferior sound...looking at vinyl...for Lotus could go CD if remaster is up to snuff...

I have a copy of the Lotus album that was origianlly done in SQ quad and has been transferred to DVD-Audio. It sounds terrific. I also have Caravanserai done this way as well as Santana III. If you ever get the chance to hear these in surround sound, you will never again be satisifed with plain old stereo renditions.

Caravanserai sounds especially good and is my favorite Santana album. BTW, Abraxas is also available in surround sound but it sounds *awful*. The best version of that album is the SACD closely follwed by the Sony MasterSound Super Bit Map (2 channel) version. The SBM sounds excellent, a very good use of that technology.
