Tower of Power and Santana are friends. This video collection clearly proves that! First, the 2006 Montreux Festival, where Carlos Santana makes a guest appearance at Tower of Power's live performance, playing guitar for almost the entire second half! And Tower of Power at this time is incredible! Chester Thompson, the key keyboardist of their golden age, participates! Furthermore, Bruce Conte, also a member of their golden age, is also present, so this is Tower of Power at their peak! And now, a Santana live performance! This is footage from the Santana Festival held in 1977, when he reached the pinnacle of his career with the mid-period masterpiece Moonflower, and Tower of Power and Gato Barbieri participated! There is some noise due to the master, but it is recorded in the best professional shot! Tower Records in their prime during their Columbia Records era, with Edward McGee on vocals and the incredibly powerful Ronnie Beck on drums. Their performance of the hugely popular song "You Oughta Be Havin' Fun" is a rare treat! The final track, featuring Maria Carcoles, delivers a unified Latin sound that's absolutely breathtaking!
