Description:
While one might be tempted to sum up this DVD as a "for Santana completists only" type of affair, it only seems right to point at that even Santana fanatics should pause before shelling out for this modestly priced collection, which despite its attempts at creative packaging essentially features one multi-artist 1971 concert at Royal Albert Hall in London. The concert itself features noteworthy performances by that era's big names in music, including Taj Mahal, Johnny & Edgar Winter, and It's a Beautiful Day. The fact that the producers of this DVD chose to extract the two performances of "Medley" and "Soul Sacrifice" by Santana as the feature of this disc is ironic because it is during these performances that the concert's video and audio quality are at their worst; one is hard pressed to pick out the members of the band as they bounce in and out of grainy shadows and light. Anyone interested in the aforementioned bands or this period in American rock might find this interesting viewing, but Santana fans would be better advised to stick with the group's legendary performance at Woodstock. --Karl Wachter
