We’re at the White River Amphitheatre for the Santana concert. We did the “green” thing by parking in Auburn and taking the (9 mile) shuttle bus. It’s now 6:25, the concert is scheduled to start at 7, and we’re at the end of a long line that is only just starting to move. This is easily the most incompetently disorganized concert facility I’ve ever been to. I hope the show is better than the venue.
Update: seated and ready to go by 7:15. Opening act was Salvador Santana Band. 6 members: drums, bass, keyboards, sax/vocals, guitar, and a total loser who fancied himself as a rapper and keyboards player. He had no sense of rhythm in either role. If they’d dumped him, the remaining five guys would have made a great act – tight rhythm, good vocals, inventive solos. Oh well….
And now for Santana!

Brilliant. A simply wonderful show.
