An early show from Santana’s 1972 European tour, held on December 4 at the Olympia in Paris, is now available via a newly discovered stereo soundboard recording! Although there are some cuts, this newly unearthed recording captures nearly the entire concert, offering a longer runtime and higher quality than previously known recordings. Don’t miss the setlist, which closely resembles that of their legendary Japanese tour the following year—including tracks from the then-unreleased album "Welcome".
