Blog Review from Rockchicago.net

Here’s a review from Rockchicago.net, of the show in Hammond, IN, with Ringo Starr and his All Starr Band. The review is by Peter Sakas and there are also lots of great photos! Suddenly there was the familiar Evil Ways (which was released as a single in 1969, from Santana’s first album) and the crowd went wild. The whole crowd was singing along, dancing, gyrating to the hypnotic Latin beat, people once again spilling into the aisles dancing. My wife was looking around amazed at the audience response and exclaimed, “This is great!” Gregg Rolie has always been overlooked in Santana, but he was the singer on their big hits in the early days of the band and his distinctive Hammond organ really helped drive the band. He was in great voice, played outstanding keyboards, and gave an enthusiastic performance. I was a bit worried about the guitar in this song because of the legendary Carlos Santana, but Steve Lukather proved to be a masterful guitarist and his playing complimented the song perfectly.
