I must give a shout out to YouTube's auto-programming, which led me to this last night based on my viewing history.  I had NO idea that this footage existed, and it's just SMOKING hot for the entire one hour two minutes.  Stevie Ray, Jimmie and Cesar Rosas (Los Lobos) join the band just after the 38 minute mark.  Nearly an all instrumental show.  Original Santana drummer Michael Shrieve is on board, and as one might expect, the entire percussion section is mind-boggling.  Also interesting that Carlos is using two Hammond B-3 players at this show, both Gregg Rolie and Chester Thompson.  I assume that this was some sort of Santana reunion because I believe that by 1988, Chester Thompson was Carlos' regular organist and Rolie was devoting nearly all of his time to Journey.

ENJOY!!!  I certainly did last night...........

Saw Carlos and Little Feat at this same venue in 1990 just after SRV's unfortunate passing. Carlos walked out on stage, raised his arms and asked that the crowd observe a moment of silence for his dear friend SRV who was now..."In a place where he is bathed by a light that casts no shadow".....not a dry eye in the place after that...

Here's another link with another 41 minutes of footage.  I assume this is the entire show.
