“Abraxas excited our audience with accurate renditions of Santana's best-known hits. Guitarist Ed Antonelli displayed precise tone and feel for every note of every song. The band was spot on with organ, bass, percussion and vocals. I have seen Santana perform live and this performance measures up to that high standard. ”
