From December 1971 to April 1972, Carlos Santana and several other members
of Santana toured with drummer/vocalist Buddy Miles, a former member of
the Electric Flag, and Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsys. The resulting live
album contained both Santana hits ("Evil Ways") and Buddy Miles
hits ("Changes"), plus a 25-minute, side-long jam. It was not,
perhaps, the live album Santana fans had been waiting for, but at this
point in its career, the band could do no wrong. The album went into the
Top Ten and sold a million copies.
