Santana: 1971-05-01 Montreux, Switzerland (Pro Shot DVD)

This is a very rare Santana concert from the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland in 1971.  I've only seen this video available once, and I grabbed it when I did.  There was not much information on it but it has some very good video of three of Journey's original members in it.  Neal Schon, who was 17 years old then, Gregg Rolie, and even Journey's manager, Herbie Herbet (through the Steve Perry years and before that) are in this video a lot.  Personally, I like Neal Schon's guitar playing the best.

This is a great video of the show too.  It starts out with some tape tracking issues but cleans up very quickly.  And the video even gets better very soon too.  It almost looks as if there were two video sources but I doubt it.  I wish I knew the lineage of this DVD, but unfortunately, I never got that.  I'm not sure where it came from or where to find it again (other than here and on my hard drives).  The sound is great and the video is great.  It's not excellent or superb, but it is definitely very good and very watchable.  I'm surprised at how good it is.

One other thing I find interesting in this show is how often members of the band, besides Carlos Santana, are shown.  In other "Schon & Rolie era" Santana videos I have, they barely show other band members.
I hope you enjoy this show from 42 years and 2 weeks ago...
