Notes In the last couple of years, we've revisited some of Stan's greatest Seattle recordings by making new transfers from the master reels, shows like Led Zeppelin '73, George Harrison '74 and Pink Floyd '75. In the process, I did an audit of all Tandberg master reels released by JEMS on DIME and compared that to the tapes sitting on the shelf just above me as I type this, an exercise I had inexplicably never undertaken.

You can probably guess where this is going (I seem to revisit this narrative thread often): turns out there are at least two dozen Tandberg masters that don't appear to have been torrented or posted. Several of these may not have circulated in any form, even in the analog trading era. I suspect some haven't been played since the day after the show--if at all.

Stan would have been the first to admit he devoted 95% of his energy to capturing these shows and only 5% to listening to them. His legacy of over 100 Tandberg recordings made between 1972-1979 is a truly remarkable archive that, delightfully, has not been fully tapped.

Which brings us to this installment in JEMS Tandberg Masters series, Santana on tour in the spring of 1978 supporting Moonflower. The band's double album mixing studio and live tracks was released in October 1977. The setlist draws heavily from the studio tracks on Moonflower, surrounded by classic and deeper cuts from the catalog.

In the pantheon of Tandberg masters Stan's Santana capture is certainly up the with the best of them, sounding close, full and consistent. Samples provided. It's a high-energy show, too.
