Praise and Passion: An Evening with Santana at the Fillmore

In a band like Santana, there are multiple drummers, multiple lead singers but only ONE lead guitarist. Of course, like everyone else in the place, I was mesmerized by Mr. Santana. His hands and fingers touch that fretboard ever so lightly and just the littlest bend in his finger elicits a wail from that instrument that sounds like a soaring eagle.

How The Steve Miller Band Kept On a Rockin’ Me BABY!

In 2008, during a quiet period without new studio albums, Steve Miller performed in San Francisco, joined by notable musicians like Al Jardine. There, inspired, he planned his cover album 'Bingo.' Remembering harmonica player Norton Buffalo, who died in 2009, and recounting buying a sitar-guitar in 1965, Miller's show was complemented by a Scrojo poster, capturing the concert's essence.

That’s where I stood with Steve Miller, he was a hitmaker with a sweet guitar sound. I think I learned a lot more about Mr. Miller on this night at the Fillmore. A new appreciation of the man as he worked through hits as well as wowing the crowd with his guitar work.

Just Like Ronnie Sang: Take This Poster Home Tonight

During this time Eddie was mostly keeping to his greatest hits with just a few songs from his latest album, ”Love and Money” . Those greatest hits, however, can fill a whole show. Even a casual fan (of a certain age) will recognize all of the songs.
