I came across this the other day… My first concert experience, on September 23rd of 1975, was Santana, with the opening act Earth, Wind & Fire(!!!!). For Christmas that year I received Santana’s 1974 triple LP ‘Lotus’, recorded live in Japan. This is one page of the LP booklet, signed by Carlos in the Fall of 1996, when my band toured with Santana for three months. The red guitar pick was used by Carlos during the Lunar Eclipse at the Phoenix concert on September 26, 1996.
