Black Magic Woman transcribed from latin feel to reaggae. It is Kolors, but does anyone know where or when that might be from?

Wasn't Kolors around the early 80's?? 1981?

This is from Markthalle, Hamburg,
December 4 1982.
It's a cool version.

She quite obviously did!

I am glad that there is film footage from this period, but I am not keen on the music. Not that I don't like reggae, but I think the rigid rhythm undermines the usual sophistication of Peter Greens music. It's a bit like he is trying to destroy his own legacy and doesn't care about it (though off course "the tone" is intact - as usual).

Thanks to Dino for the date and place.
