Jim Walsh reports on Santana gig

Jim Walsh has reviewed the Santana concert in which PRN and Larry Graham guested.



Excerpt:



"At the halfway point of Santana's two-hour and 15-minute performance,
guitar icon Carlos Santana invited two Twin Cities residents up on stage:
Larry Graham, and the artist formerly known as Prince.



The two musicians strapped on their bass and guitar, respectively, and
launched into a nasty, ad-libbed funk-fusion number (whose chorus-chant
went 'One Love'). In the context of the concert, the 10-minute jam didn't
stand out especially as a musical highlight, but when you stepped back for
a moment to consider just what was happening on stage, it was nothing short
of extraordinary:



There was Santana, the man who has been credited with launching Latin rock
in the late '60s, and one of rock's most influential guitarists, firing off
leads with the former Prince, the man who brought a nation's libido to its
knees in the '80s, and who remains one of the few true musical iconoclasts
of the '90s, bumping off the slap-bass of Graham, the man who acted as the
midwife, if not inventor, of funk in the early '70s with Sly and the Family
Stone. Time warp, baby."
