More depth to the Floyd I'd say. Oh yes, but as I said it was a stepping stone for me. I think at the moment there is nothing to touch "Brit Floyd". Lots of their playing of Floyd's tracks is much better than the originals. I would sell a kidney to see them play live. (but that ain't gonna happen, I don't think.)

Shake me up Judy Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Stu Lowe wasn't at Manx Radio in the early 70's Dilli. Early 80's perhaps ? (The live version of Samba Pa Ti from Lotus is worth checking out too if you like Santana). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justr turn on the TV for any of these awards ceremonies or something and you'll see Emily playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The live version of Samba Pa Ti from Lotus is worth checking out too if you like Santana). I'll have to check that out, maybe my memory is worse, but it was definitely early- mid '70s at the very latest '76. Just had a look and "linked in" tells me Stu was at Manx Radio 1976-2001, Could have sworn it was a couple of years before that. Well I can't be right all the time.

This is not the thread for this but no guitar player has more depth than Carlos Santana. Dave Gilmour is a master of his instrument but I'm sure even he would acknowledge that.

Uhtred Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Let me clarify - I did say the Floyd, not Gilmour. I find more depth to the music of the Floyd as a whole, than the music of Santana. I don't dispute Santana's individual mastery of the instrument. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dilligaf Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Maybe more appropriate, I reckon one of the best guitar solos too. ( especially live ) Edited June 24, 2017 by dilligaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
