Hey mike,
is that "great shite" as in "good shit" ? or as in "you great big shite" ?
Just curious.
It means I enjoyed your posts - the notes and the tunes. So I guess I meant "good shit."
Only kidding! Its one of these weird things over (up) here: "shit" generally means good, whereas "shite" is as the strict dictionary definition applies...
I liked the Santna any which way!
Yeah, if you can get through the first 3:30 or so, I like the guitar work from then on quite a bit. I saw Santana recently at the Fillmore West and was very impressed by how much energy the old man had in him. He rocked Open Invitation so hard that I saw some of the Hell's Angels in attendance putting in ear plugs.
Hee hee on those Angels, Mike ...
The deleted comment was me -- the too-long Relix URL busted.
Here's the Relix review of the Santana gig, tiny-style:

richard: your review was so evocative, i almost needn't have been there to get a handle on it. Shit. I take that back; i'm heartily jealous. Now I grasp where Mike stopped off on his week-long Californian trip!
Killer review. You captured it.
This is a fine review, too -- and KILLER pics:

Scrolling my RSS, seeing you guys on the 60's and 70's tip lately. I think it's the summer thing...brings out the "lay in the grass hippie" in everybody. The band I played drums for in high school did this tune...it was one of the easier Santana tunes...along with Black Magic Woman. Great, um, shhh, um,...ite?
