Santana - Balboa Stadium, San Diego 1974

Santana at the Balboa Stadium in San Diego, a band whose inspired musicianship transpires throughout the performance.
Most of the material is from Abraxas, the rightly praised Santana album released in 1970.



I made some tweaks to this recording: 
- Applied high frequencies equalization to the right channel in order to make it a bit closer to the left that sounds excellent.
- Corrected, as possible, the balance between left and right channels.
- Removed several noise peaks, probably introduced in the CD ripping process as shown in the graphic.


Sound Quality: 9.5-

Source: FM Broadcast

Track List:
1 - Going Home
2 - Incident At Neshabur
3 - Black Magic Woman
4 - Gypsy Queen
5 - Oye Como Va
6 - Samba Pa Ti
7 - Toussaint L'Overture 
8 - Soul Sacrifice

I still have Abraxas on vinyl, played it a few times :)
Titus, those were unique peaks but now are lost, sorry.

I'm with you...kill those pesky peaks. How was Large BTW? too big? (just for future reference)

AtticRock said...

Yes, unfortunately this L is too large for me.
