Loved him in the day, but the only thing he's done the past 25 years that fully works for me is the reunion with the original group.  And this sure ain't that.  But 'Caravanserai' will always be a desert Island disc for me.

I have never been a Santana fan, but don't most rock acts simply lack the compositional talent to keep releasing new popular material on a consistent level? They have only a handful of great albums in them, but keep on releasing shit and touring for decades on end. I was fed up with this mediocrity by the time I switched focus to jazz permanently around 1998.

Which was written by neither Percy Faith nor Carlos Santana.   Nice paychecks for Peter Green and the estate of Gabor Szabo.

Do we blame them?  I also report to work every day, as I have for decades on end.   I really like the part where they pay me every two weeks, and reasonably enjoy my work, even though I will have no more career breakthroughs coming.   Also, rock artists can still be a great live experience long after they are not consistently pumping out meaningful new compositions.  This is one of the most moving musical experiences for me (especially the DVD), recorded (ca. 1999) 15 years after I had ceased to much care about new Springsteen studio albums (I do like 'Lucky Town').  And part of the thrill of it was BECAUSE they were decades into the journey.  This concert convinced me that being 50 would be just fine.  A Neil Young concert I attended in the mid-2000's convinced me that being 60 would be just fine.  There's value in that, at least for me.

The difference is the fruits of Felser's labour are not deemed newsworthy by the media. I resent beeing bomarded with all this mediocre shit on televison and radio. The real low point came in the nineties when every moron had to have his booming monotonic house beats to enjoy himself in his car, his appartment, etc. These days most people seem too distracted by smartphones with earbuds and flatscreens to care about 'making boom boom'. Progress!

A good friend with great taste in music (and an ever increasing album collection of 25,000+) saw Santana at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival this spring. My friend is difficult to impress. He said that Santana's performance was excellent, even inspiring. He said that it was one of the highlights of the entire festival.

Oh yeah, he can definitely still bring it when he wants to.  The reunion concert with the original group is fabulous.
