Some incredible rhythmic shifts in the song, too. While I love the Rumours-era lineup, I think it's clear they try to keep their live shows as simple and as loud and attractive as possible to as many people possible. There isn't a great sense of musical exploration--at least anymore. Maybe with the new album and next year's tour?

Oooo, Black Magic Woman...that's one of my all-time favorite songs. I love Peter Green's raw vocals. But I also like what Santana did to the song. I think it seems simple and straightforward on the surface, but there's so much artistry and style underneath.
