Santana/London,UK 1976 Japanese Broadcast Edition Best Quality

SANTANA in 1976, who sent “AMIGOS” to the top 10 in the US and had a big hit in Japan with the single “Melancholy Europe”. The longest and highest peak version of the classic professional shot that represents that time is here. This work features the “December 15, 1976 Hammersmith Odeon performance”. It is a multi-camera professional shot. Speaking of 1976, “AMIGOS” and “FESTIVAL” were released consecutively. First, let’s review the activity overview with the schedule at that time.・February 1st-16th: Oceania (7 shows) ・February 20th-March 17th: Japan (21 shows) ・March 20th: Tempe show {“AMIGOS” released on March 26th} ・April 6th-August 25th: North America (36 shows) ・November 5th-December 15th: Europe (33 shows) ←★here★ {“FESTIVAL” released in December} ・December 31st: Daly City show This is SANTANA in 1976. “AMIGOS” was released in the spring, and the tour lasted for nine months. The London show of this work is the last day of the final “Europe” part of the tour. “FESTIVAL” was released in North America in January 1977, but in other countries it was released at the end of 1976. This work is thought to have been released around that time. [The longest and highest quality Japanese broadcast version] Such a show is known above all for the professional shots that were left behind, and the famous program “Sight And Sound” version in particular has been rebroadcast many times, and has become a major staple among the classics that have produced countless existing groups. However, that “Sight And Sound” was about 30 minutes long, but this video is actually much longer. This work is a DVD version of the best version, which is a long version and also has the highest quality. The true identity of that best version is actually a Japanese broadcast. It is the broadcast version of “Golden Western Music Live”, which is familiar to our shop. Our shop archives many music programs by the best masters provided by record enthusiasts, and this work is one of those collections. In particular, the 2007 broadcast version, which is the basis of this work, is highly praised by enthusiasts all over the world as the “highest quality version”. It is completely official without question, and the visual beauty of the broadcasting station master can be made into a DVD without any deterioration. So, what kind of songs can be enjoyed with such longest video? The above “European” leg is also included in the official “MOONFLOWER” album, so let’s compare and organize it. Festival: Carnaval/Let The Children Play/Jugando/Revelations (★)/Maria Caracoles (★) Others: Santana: Soul Sacrifice Heavenly Guardian: Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen/Oye Como Va (★) Amigo: Dance Sister Dance (Baila Mi Hermana)/Europa (Earth’s Cry, Heaven’s Smile) *Note: The “★” mark indicates songs that were not heard on the official “MOONFLOWER” album. …And so on. The “Sight and Sound” version only included “Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen”, “Revelations”, “Oye Como Va” and “Soul Sacrifice”, so it’s about twice as big. Moreover, many of the additional songs are new songs from “FESTIVAL” that have not yet been released. Although this work is from 1976, it can actually be enjoyed as an extended/video version of “MOONFLOWER”. [Even more program-specific corners] Such a long set alone is enough to fill you up, but this work is even more than that. You can also enjoy plenty of delicious “bonuses” unique to “Golden Western Music Live”. There are many “bonuses”, but the first one is the Japanese subtitles. Not only the usual MC between songs, but also the song titles, credits, and mini-explanations of each song are included. The person in charge of the set seems to be a fan of SANTANA, and he also keeps a close eye on the points of the medley arrangement. The second “bonus” is the commentary corner, which is a feature of this program. Every time, a famous person is invited to talk about the background and feelings of the show, but the guide for this work is an unexpected choice of a deadly braid maker. In fact, the braid maker’s Ryu is also a guitarist, and the content of what he talks about is not strange, but he never breaks the angle of the camera, and his strangely theatrical tone is fun. In addition, this work also features the “after” of the main concert. From the 1980s to 2007, when it was broadcast, the representative songs are traced in chronological order. Although it is a rush with only four songs, “I Love You Much Too Much” and “Hold On” from the 1980s, “Smooth” from “SUPERNATURAL”, and “Just Feel Better” sung by Steven Tyler, it is a stylish project that connects the 30 years from the main “1976” to “2007”. And the finale is a special video of “Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen”. It is a unique edit that patches the performances of each era, and the glorious history is condensed into one song. Even up to this point, there is no doubt about the love of SANTANA by the program staff, but the momentum explodes at the very end. The 1976 Hammersmith Pro Shot, which is also the video version of “MOONFLOWER”. This work is the longest and highest peak version. A best-of-breed reprint of the best broadcast that even overseas enthusiasts envied. A multi-camera pro shot of the “December 15, 1976 Hammersmith Odeon performance”. This is a very popular video at the time, but this is the longest and highest quality version of the Japanese broadcast version. In addition to the main live performance of about an hour, which is about twice as long as the famous “Sight And Sound” version, it also includes a special version of “Black Magic Woman / Gypsy Queen” that combines Japan’s unique PV collection and past footage. In addition, it is complete with a commentary corner by Ryu the braid maker and Japanese subtitles during the live performance. It is a major decision board with a total length of 75 minutes.
