Saw Santana a couple years ago at CMAC, maybe it was the LSD but I definitely felt Miles' spirit that evening. Carlos said some stuff in between songs that'd be inspiring when sober, needless to say it changed my life lol.
it's funny, alot of people claimed that Miles Davis sold out towards the end of his performing/recording career---this piece to me is proof the exact opposite is true. The man never stopped evolving, adapting, and moving forward.
@kai two different kinds of music. This has nothing to do with 50’s Miles and vice versa. 50’s Miles will always be there for those who don’t like this and this will always be there for those who dig it.
na na na he completely rebuilt them from ground zero from about 1981 onwards, prior to that he didn't touch a trumpet for 6 years, that makes his later achievements even more spectacular :-)
That's the Magic!! of Miles.brings the best out of Everyone sets their Souls free on a Journey of Discovery Below,High and Beyonder!!! The Band is Jamming Maaan!!!!
We love you Miles! You cannot replace him! Ever- period. Believe dat! there will be never be anyone like him. he is 'not of this world'. Massive 'ghost' Respect
My biggest regret ever was when Miles came to D.C and I missed it. Said to myself I will definitely catch him next time and shortly after he sadly passed away! You can never replace Miles!
In the early '80's, I went to both a Miles Davis concert and a Maynard Ferguson concert respectively! Miles was indeed a legend, but I had more fun at the Maynard show, because his focus was to entertain as well as perform. Miles was in his own orbit and did not give a damn that you were even out there. He always performed for himself. ;-)

Robbin playing a Strat Elite - classic. I used to have one and sold it years ago. Miles later years recordings sound better with every passing year. so ahead of his time...
Miles lite a Torch and held it for so long , Its sets a bar for any musicians or groups to even challenge or change with another 5 decades .He also made alot of great muscians known .
From the humble Jazz Clubs of New York to playing Fusion in front of thousands in an arena. Miles was an absolute Musical entity in the flesh. Funk, Jazz, Rock, Black, Brown, White HE MADE IT ALL COME TOGETHER...always an Artist first Miles, then the women and cars. The word GENIUS is often misused in Music, Miles always scouted the best players and made them famous by them innovating, from Kind of Blue, to Bitches Brew to Toto, Miles would've dropped Hendrix in a matter of years as innovative as Hendrix was, Miles was an Alien in creativity a butterfly in innovation. He also was a band master, composer and had perfect pitch and never bragged about it but let his work speak for himself. The first Rock Star Punk Rocker the best musical mind since Beethoven himself. Some loved him some hated him he didn't care, he knew exactly what he was doing, the last of the Gods [Ellington, Coltrane, Gillespie, Bach] This was Miles Davis and ''Co'' it was never the other way around.
@@sohooded Would like to add Toto. Miles liked Jeff Porcaro's paintings and played on the song "Don't stop me now" of their album "Fahrenheit". I read an interview with Jeff Porcaro about this story. Miles saw his paintings, wanted one of them and asked, "what do you want for it?" Finally Miles "payed" by playing on that song, which was quite extraordinary because Miles did not play on other artist's records usually. Also heard Miles playing this song with his own band 1987 in Mannheim, Germany. Great memories! Also heard this song played by Toto during their Fahrenheit-tour 1986. Back then Toto was touring with a small horn-section (sax+tp). Totally different versions, very inspiring. Jeff Porcaro live on stage, one of my heroes! 🎯 Miles also had Michael Jackson's "Human Nature" on his setlists for a while, which is written by Toto 's keyboarder Steve Porcaro. Miss Miles and Jeff. Wish they rest in peace and have some great jams in heaven. ❤👌
Dear Ludwig, it would be great to check before sending a message: it's Tutu (do you even know what that title refers to?). Toto was a great band that Miles also played with on several occasions.
Holy sweet jeezuz. I can't believe you posted this. I saw it once around 1987, never knew what it was, but was absolutely blown away. (Obviously knew it was Miles and Santana ... didn't learn about Robben much later). Interesting that the performance is even better than I remember. Unreal! Thanks for posting this. :D
Robben always kills with the diminished line. You saw it in Carlos' face at 6:01. Great jam. People who are making condescending remarks about Carlos not playing in this usual context don't listen to enough Santana albums.
WHen you think about how there has been no one to do this since Miles passed, you get a full realization of the void that he left in jazz and music in general.
Hahahahaaha right on!!! Santana keeps interrupting other peoples solo theoughout the song also has no sense of solo trading. He is a novice among those musicians.
Thank you Miles . For letting this section of your performance be something for Carlos Santana, the other guitarist?! percussionist, sax player, etc that is right up there with Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock .
This is when everyone got a beer or went to pee. A friend was there that day. The lines up the aisles during his set had people by the hundreds. Hahaha!!!!!!
I saw him play live with his back to the audience the entire show. Apparently, it was quite common. Hello, and goodbye. The only time you saw his face.
Yeah, the CTI music format was often music ... Arranged and Orchestrated by ... even as early as 1970. Don Sebesky, David Mathews, Bob James, remember those names? That string stuff is real dated for me. There are however, some great CTI albums, where the cello's and violins stayed home. :-)
This was an Amnesty a international concert. That was Miles Davis’s band. Carlos just sat in with them for the last song of their set. Robben Ford (guitar), Bob Berg (saxophone), Robert Irving IIII and Adam Holzman (keyboards), Felton Crews (bass), Steve Thornton (percussion) and Vince Wilburn Jr (drums)
