I don't know where I read that Prince and Santana had once preformed together. I cannot find any info that confirms that. Does anyone know? If so when was that?

I know it was a windy day.

They've performed a couple of times together. Once on the Jam Of The Year Tour (10/10/97 Moutainview), and once on the One Nite Alone Tour also (date/city escapes me). Probably a couple of other times as well, but I can't recall off the top of my head.

I remember reading on here (I think Michael B told the story) about something Prince did with Santana and did Santana better than Santana. I hope that makes sense. Prince was supposedly bragging about it in rehearsal the next day and had a tape of it and everything.

yeah, that Warner Theater show was cool

we were literally leaving the building and the lights went off

crowd started cheering

out walked Santana and they jammed for a bit

very cool

I think it's interesting that Santana has an album called "Lotus" and another collaboration called "Lotus Gems".

Inspiration for LotusFlow3r?

I always thought Graffiti Bridge was a mashup title of Physical Graffiti and Rainbow Bridge too (Zeppelin/Hendrix).

i saw 1nce in Rolling Stone magazine that Prince played bass in 1 Santana concert in Minni. it was quite a while ago and it had a picture of it. i think that it was around the gold era.

Thank you so much for the answers. It doesn't surprise me that prince would "out-do" Santana. I think music is pretty much his world. He his talent is a truly organic gift that many artists must work hard to try to achieve. Most artists never will.

.."Helllllooo...(irritated tone) NEWMAN!"


Sorry..had to say it.

I love Carlos Santana.
