"Revelations" is a real revelation for everyone who loves that kind of music, for everyone who loves Santana! The dynamic process of this song from the beginning to the end is really unique!!!
+Ramsés Pérez Pinzón It is the Humbucker + using of the Volume knob all the time. He picks and then increases the volume. That makes the picking silent.
The Yamaha SG (played here) is by far his best tone, he said he stopped playing them because they are heavy and hurt his back and shoulder. But they are THE best sound he ever had.
@BluesLicks101 I absolutely agree. Never was bowled over by his PRS tones. It's still Carlos beautiful melodic playing, but the Yamaha years as well as his Gibson SG years , were tone that was golden in it's godlike beauty.
This is my favorite track by Santana. It starts slow and builds to the crescendo. I even used this track to wake up to for several years. By the time it was over, I was wide awake! And ready to start my day.
From the days when Carlos felt his music deeply. Sensational. I agree with with many above... The Yamaha guitar had the tone; not too muddy, not too distorted, not too many effects, just clear and pure soulfulness. Carlos uses too many effects since then.
Carlos at the peak of his powers. And yet he gets better!! This a powerful performance which reminds me of his work with John McLaughlin. Just wailing!
That is one of my favorite amongst many of his instrumentals His music is universal Thank you Carlos for being my teacher in music and spiritually in tune It great growing up with you all these years Never stop Playing 🙏❤️👍
1977 después de llegar de la escuela ponía este disco en mi estéreo y pretendía ser Carlos Santana tocando con una guitarra imaginaria este tema y los otros del album Festival y soñando en aquella pequeña sala de mi casa. Gracias Carlos Santana.
Splendida bellissima stupenda canzone dei grandissimi Santana poco conosciuta ma per me veramente eccezionale con il grandissimo eccezionale bravissimo Carlos in Splendida forma ❤❤❤sono gasatissimo visti 3 volte a roma molti anni fa concerti di mitico Carlos!!!!!
It's actually an early model of the SG2000 called the Yamaha SG-175B. Carlos basically created the SG2000 with Yamaha as he was searching for a certain sound and better sustain.
Beginning in 1973 w/ caravanserai till 1980, Santana introduced us to early years of fusion 🎵🎧,welcome...borboletta...love, devotion and surrender...amigos...🕯️🙏🕯️
Ensamblaje perfecto entre la balada y la descarga rítmica mediante el aumento progresivo de la intensidad y el tempo. Como su nombre lo indica una auténtica revelación de lo que se puede hacer con el sonido. Sublime e insuperable
Wonderful... Carlos Santana and Jimmy Page my greatests heroes of the strings. I love this song and I think it seems to Stairway to Heaven because it starts like a balad and finishes as rock... Kind!
It must have been the early 1970’s when I first listened to Samba Pa Ti and bought Greatest’ Hits. My first Santana album, many to follow. Revelations is one of my many favorites that inspired me to finally learn to play the guitar at age 59 (about 50 years too late). I have a long way to go, I know I’ll never get there, but I already have lots of fun trying. Thanks Carlos!
The Samba Pa Ti off Carlos's 1974 live album Lotus is a personal favourite of that song. Good luck with your playing and it sure is a lot of fun, Cheers
Louis Armstrong, Ray Charles, Elvis, and Carlos Santana. They transformed their musical roots into new genres and higher art that crossed all musical boundaries. Geniuses, each and everyone.
This is one of the best Santana videos I've ever seen! Amazing. It seems like so many of Santana's cd's evoke vivid memories of certain periods in my life. I'll never forget when I first bought "Festival" in the mid 90's. I sat in my little apartment and listened to it over and over. What a remarkable album. This is an awesome video! Give thanks for sharing it!
I see a couple of Yamaha sponsors making all sorts of insane comments. Glasses don't bring knowledge. Yours might because you're a salesman. Guess what them Gibson guys have to say about their piece of wood and strings?!! Carlos santana has been one of the pillars of universal Rock n Roll ever since Woodstock 1969. He was a legend then and one master legend today. It has nothing to do with his Gibson, Fender, or Yamaha! Its all about his heart and soul.!
Easily 50+ live Santana concerts going back to the mid 70's. 1). The Yamaha was him and he was that guitar. 2) But I only realized this when I first saw him switching guitars in the early 80's. Newer songs got the PRS, his older he still used the SG 2000. What a difference between the two; the PRS couldn't cut through the band, he lost the feedback and frankly, the PRS sounded like shit. thirty years later it still does.
Wrong! I have one of these vintage Yamaha SG's from 1976. I also have Strats, LP's, Tele's and many others. That Yamaha has a ton to do with his sound back then.
From the LP Festival, Santana on Guitar, Tom Coster Keyboards, Graham Lear Drums, the late Raul Rekow Congas, Chepito Areas Timbales, Pablo Tellez Bass. The band also performed Maria Caracoles with the Tower of Power horns on this show; that clip is available on TH-cam.
Jamais égalé. Carlos santana. Pour créer un morceau comme ça faut être un génie. Vous pouvez écouter tous qui ce fait maintenant. rien lui arrive à la cheville.
I hate when some people claim he’s slow. He just holds back. He never sacrifices the beauty of melody for the sake of speed. But he can be fast as hell when he wants to.
That sustain and incredible tone come in large part from his MESA/Boogie Mark I amp. I use Boogies, and you don't need pedals. The preamp and cascading gain are just awesome; better and more "organic" than any pedal could ever give. Search "Santana, MESA/Boogie". The story of how Randall Smith (MESA's founder) and Santana found each other is really cool. Santana helped put MESA on the map as much as the amp helped Carlos get his signature sound.
Santana gets his sustain from turning the volume of his amp up and walking to different parts of the stage near the amplifier and marks which notes feedback at which spots with tape then he cuts the guitar volume back. This is how he gets a really clean tone at the same time. It has a lot to do with the separation pre/power section of the Mesa Boogie that makes this easier for him. The other big factor in how he gets his tone is the speaker he uses. I forget which one but you can see it had an aluminum dome in that Boogie cabinet. Also the way he holds that giant triangle shaped pick makes a big tonal difference.
No hay mayor perfección, maravilla y mejor vibración modulada que el canto de muchas aves, capaces de trasmitir autentica felicidad mediante ondas sonoras por el aire. Los humanos las hemos encarcelado, atrapado y en muchas ocasiones también las hemos destruido mediante nuestras catastróficas acciones medioambientales… no bastante muchos otros las han protegido y salvaguardado, estudiando y conservando sus hábitats y territorios, respetándolas como parte clave de la madre naturaleza. Nadie, ni nada, puede cantar como un pájaro. No obstante, quizás y solo quizás, Carlos Santana haya sido la única persona del planeta capaz de acercarse, mediante los sonidos de sus guitarras, a lo que los pájaros se dicen entre sí. Gracias Carlos, la ecología del planeta te debe mucho. There is no greater perfection, wonder and better modulated vibration than the song of many birds, capable of transmitting authentic happiness through sound waves through the air. Humans have imprisoned, trapped and on many occasions we have also destroyed them through our catastrophic environmental actions... not many others have protected and safeguarded them, studying and conserving their habitats and territories, respecting them as a key part of Mother Nature. No one, and nothing, can sing like a bird. However, perhaps and only perhaps, Carlos Santana has been the only person on the planet capable of approaching, through the sounds of his guitars, what the birds say to each other. Thank you Carlos, the ecology of the planet owes you a lot.
There is no one else in the world, past or present, who who could play a guitar like that. Carlos is a true genius and master.
This is why we love Santana music. It touches the soul instantly
GARY MOORE, of Ireland.
There’s loads but he is a wizard
@@anothercomment3451Santana's voice is stronger than Gary Moore's. You know immediately, after one note that it's Carlos. Can't say the same for Gary Moore.
One of the Santana best song, not very known from the public, but the best ones they know that it is a masterpiece...
I love the way the song slowly picks up and reaches the climax. It is an amazing piece of music
@@delBUBAN I totally agree with you!
Its a gospel song real beautie..
Indeed it is!
Согласно.
"Revelations" is a real revelation for everyone who loves that kind of music, for everyone who loves Santana! The dynamic process of this song from the beginning to the end is really unique!!!
Я нашла эту музыку и не могу атарватся.Сантана звезда!!!
Amazing tone!!...It sounds like a flute, a sax and a violin at the same time...Santana is the Master of Tone.
+Ramsés Pérez Pinzón It is the Humbucker + using of the Volume knob all the time. He picks and then increases the volume. That makes the picking silent.
yep.....stil got to do it...... :)

Ha! I used to use Song of the Wind 😁
This is Peak Carlos. At the height of his creative genius. Along with his best sound on that Yamaha!
Amen
Loved him on the Yamaha. Never sounded better.
Carlos at his best!!!! VIVA CARLOS SANTANA!!!!!
possibly the most underrated song of all time. A timeless masterpiece.. Santana is incredible.
From the days when Carlos felt his music deeply. Sensational. I agree with with many above... The Yamaha guitar had the tone; not too muddy, not too distorted, not too many effects, just clear and pure soulfulness. Carlos uses too many effects since then.
OMG what a treat, this band so together brings tears to the eyes.
That happens to me too!!
Pure Pure Musical Glory.... and May God's Pure Love Bless Us All....
Carlos at the peak of his powers. And yet he gets better!! This a powerful performance which reminds me of his work with John McLaughlin. Just wailing!
That is one of my favorite amongst many of his instrumentals
His music is universal
Thank you Carlos for being my teacher in music and spiritually in tune
It great growing up with you all these years
Never stop
Playing 🙏❤️👍

Brasil Rio de Janeiro
Sou de 1972
Até hoje faço isto. Toco minha 🎸 guitarra imaginária ao som do Santana...
One of the best guitar solo ever. The melody, the dynamic of the arrangement is amazing. The best electric guitar player ever.
It was composed by Tom Coster.
Splendida bellissima stupenda canzone dei grandissimi Santana poco conosciuta ma per me veramente eccezionale con il grandissimo eccezionale bravissimo Carlos in Splendida forma ❤❤❤sono gasatissimo visti 3 volte a roma molti anni fa concerti di mitico Carlos!!!!!
this song touches my soul
I've listened to this guy for more than 45 years now, saw some concerts, got all of his lp's, but I still think that 1977 was the magic year.
I remember this concert, it was played on PBS in the 70s. They play it exactly as on the record, Carnival, this is my favorite song ever!!!
Festival
Sensacional performance with a beautifull and powerfull melody.
The guitar is a Yamaha SG 2000. I feel Santana's best sound was with this guitar
Agree with you 100%,that Yamaha brings tears to my eyes when he sustains a note. I wonder where that guitar is now?
ABSOLUTELY! Glad others realize that too!
It's actually an early model of the SG2000 called the Yamaha SG-175B. Carlos basically created the SG2000 with Yamaha as he was searching for a certain sound and better sustain.
Of course, simple and well said.
Santana's sound is Santana's sound even with tooth floss on a broomstick attached to a tin can....

Mom passed on Feb. 22, 2018. My father died a month after this was recorded in 1977. The week she died she told me she still missed him. That's love.
The word "awesome" should be reserved for a musician like Carlos Santana.
still timeless, to the future and beyond. incredible. beautiful.
Absolutely incredible!
Wow!!!Amazing! Thank for the share!
My favorite one.

Festival was an AWESOME album and done during a great time to be a Santana fan.
Probablt the most perfect noise EVER created by a human being!
...minus the first 16 seconds of cymbals.

The mid 70's with that Yamaha was clearly his best tone ever!
Yes exactly. The combo of the Yamaha and Mesa Boogie Mk 1
Santana at his best, this song is pure genius - the first time I Have heard it but it certainly wont be the last ( I Am Awestruck ! )
INCREDIBLE artist, album, performance.
I love Santana on the Yamaha SG2000. Superb tone. Which guitar he plays his music voice still shines through.
Yamaha sg forever!

Wow!
life long companion that still makes my heart rush
Hahaha it’s not the Yamaha or Prs it’s HIM and his talent, Amen.
Its him AND the Yamaha.
Exactly.
FANTASTIC SONG. SAW HIM AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES IN VEGAS.SMALL VENUE AND DOING HIS GREATEST HITS .A MUST SEE.

Essa música, esse som é espiritual. Santana e banda na alma.
Atemporal y siempre impecable ¡¡¡
AMAZING PERFORMANCE!!!!
From the LP Festival, Santana on Guitar, Tom Coster Keyboards, Graham Lear Drums, the late Raul Rekow Congas, Chepito Areas Timbales, Pablo Tellez Bass. The band also performed Maria Caracoles with the Tower of Power horns on this show; that clip is available on TH-cam.
Drums Michael Shrieve,I belive
@@antonioduran4227, drummer was Graham Lear in that years. More strong hits, but the same speed than Shrieve
Tom Coster on keyboard just so soulful
The best Line Up. Tom coster is a master in Keyboards.
Sin palabras..
Bravo!!!!!
Genio
Never ceases to amaze.
The first two minutes hit my soul and fill my spirit more than the whole discography from Satriani, Vai and Petrucci together.
Just saw him last week, still awesome at any age
Yeah !!!!! I Hope you Felt that one !!! 😃 🎶
carlos is a legend....and yes this yamaha sg is a tone monster....most undervalued/rated guitar ever.
PRS never has touched the tone and warmth and heat of the Yamaha.
Carlos Santana con la chitarra ne fa quello che vuole,è un vero artista!
Genius is ageless
Heaven on Earth
MESA BOOGIE MARK i, FIRST HIGH GAIN CIRCUIT EVER , AND IN MY OPINION ONE OF THE MOST VOCAL GREAT TONES EVER. TO THIS DAY.
Jamais égalé. Carlos santana. Pour créer un morceau comme ça faut être un génie. Vous pouvez écouter tous qui ce fait maintenant. rien lui arrive à la cheville.
Enjoy this leyend while he still with us.
brano intenso, passionale, come la produzione che tirava fuori negli anni '70 con la sua YAMAHA SG.
Grande ed immenso Carlos!!!!
UN SER MARAVILLOSO.
I hate when some people claim he’s slow. He just holds back. He never sacrifices the beauty of melody for the sake of speed. But he can be fast as hell when he wants to.
He has musicianship
Gracias por compartir este fabuloso video, primera vez que lo veo y eso que soy fanatico de Santana. Santana es todo un Maestro.

Una nota y ya se sabe que es el...el chamán de la guitarra , el único...Carlitos Santana 🙏😊
Lyrical, passionate and burning: that's how I like my Carlos!
Has always been a favorite since it came out

Probablemente su mejor tema.
En el momento que uno la escucha y luego pones otra y digo lo mismo 🤣🤣
Buen viaje, precioso! Una delicia para mis oídos y el alma❤️
AMAZING!!
Just AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )
That Yamaha SG gave Carlos his BEST voice ever. Wish he'd dump that damned PRS, sounds like its covered in dust.
Is it only me? Or you agree this man is Awesome a genius Fron Mexico Si señor !!
