A found gem
I was introduced to him at Woodstock and although I've seen many great concerts and many great bands, I think the Santana shows I attended were my favorite and most exciting, especially as a drummer. I had this album as an LP long ago, made the mistake of lending it out, and forgot how much I enjoyed Santana live in all his iterations.

the Diamond head crater concert
we climb on the lowest slope of the crater,just to get in free. I was twenty two when I saw santana playing at the diamond head crater festival. that was cool to see them in person. all that weed,etc had it all there. miss those days,hopefully one day,we will see this happen again. Im 58 now,hopefully I can make the climb again. only joking,much Mahalos,to everyone out there peace an happiness may be with you. Aloha!!!!!!!!.


Good Stuff!
It would be great if it were about twice as long but hey. Good stuff, good stuff. It still reminds me of what it's like to see Santana in concert, and that is great.


ONE listen...........and I was hooked!!!
I think that small amount of reviewers who gave this one star were on drugs. . . . . . . BAD drugs!!! I'm a drummer and while Buddy Miles may have not been Buddy Rich he certainly didn't deserve to be called a "bad drummer. " And I'm a real sucker for a Hammond B-3 organ. . . . . the very first note I heard of it and I was hooked. And the jams? INCREDIBLE!!! I was in high school when this album was recorded and wish I had been as fortunate as several of the reviewers were to see in person. Bad reviewers get the wax out of your ears. . . . . . . you're not hearing properly!.


Self-indulgence and over-indulgence go hand-in-hand
In truth, this one was never a favorite of mine, and now the meandering, pointless jamming, slipshod playing, and all-around poor quality of the recording render it a relic. Self-indulgence and over-indulgence go hand-in-hand with this poorly recorded relic "Carlos Santana & Buddy Miles! Live!" Hearing this recording again recently, I winced at how bad it sounds.

Perhaps the musicians enjoyed cranking out some tunes inside a dormant volcano while enjoying some of nature's finest highs, but the novelty does not translate to a pleasant experience for the listener in any setting. I would grant it two stars for historical value but hope I never actually have to listen to this sprawling mess again. .
