Studio rehearsals, most probably 1972 Tracks from Abraxas, Third Album, Caravanserai and Lotus
SBD
CD 1 is of excellent soundquality. CD 2 and 3 are of good quality, but the guitar parts on CD 2 are a little at the background CD 4 is a little less.
I think, together with the batch Didnelps upped some days ago all known rehearsals/outtakes from that era will probably be shared with this set. I first got it a year ago as a non-trader. As people perhaps know, I always keep my promise on this matter, but after having received 2 other versions without any restrictions, I decided to share it. Of one those sets came from my dear Dime pal Anthony G. Much obliged!!
Great to hear the band talk and discuss whilst rehearsing. They are having a real good time!! My Spanish is not that brilliant, but you can distinguish several names. The percussionists are very prominent and the COWBELL rules! I only hear one guitar, so perhaps Neal had gone skiing....
1. Rehearsal Jam 2. Se a cabo 3. Incident at Neshabur 4. Jungle strut 5. Jungle strut/Just in time to see the sun(instrumental) 6.

Total time: 60.26
1. Incident at Neshabur 2. All the love of the universe 3. Se a cabo 4. Bambele 5. Stone flower 6. Batucada 7. Xibaba

1. Incident at Neshabur 2. Stone flower 3. Batucada 4. Xibaba 5. La fuente del ritmo 6. Every step of the way
Total time: 28.04
Then a controversial 4th CD. Sent to me in the same batch, but completely different from the other 3. I even doubt if this is Santana. But then again, listen to the start of track 1. Definitely a few notes of Toussaint, so it could be some unorganized jamming.... I've given it the benefit of the doubt; it it appears something else, my sincere apologies.
Please, shine your expert light on these tracks!!!
