3.0 out of 5 stars A good Live raw jam, December 30, 1999

It's good to hear the Santana Band in a raw jam featuring Michael Shrieve and Chepito Areas. The latter were absent from the Live at the Fillmore '68 CD. S.F. Mission District is a pretty decent live recording which allows the Santana fan to listen to the same band who played at Woodstock '69. This one is a must for the true Collector.

3.0 out of 5 stars Save your money!, August 12, 2001

This review is from: S.F. Mission District... (Audio CD)

Buy this Italian import CD package only if you are a true Santana fan from way back in the late 60s. If you are not a die-hard fan or serious collector, you will be disappointed in this CD - so, save your money. You would be better off buying their first three albums on CD or simply their hits collections. It is not that the songs are bad on this live recording, they just sound that way. The songs are pure, early Santana. However, the live recordings do not complement the songwriting. Santana was definitely better in the studio. But, it is not the live renditions that are so bad, it is the sound quality. Very poor, indeed! But, then again - they were recorded back in 1969, long before live recordings by great rockers such as Peter Frampton made it imperative that the standards of live recordings be lifted. All of us remember how poorly the Woodstock live recordings sounded. Well, this is much the same - dull, hollow, fuzzy! Good music. Bad recording!

I think the quality of this cd is just fine. After all the songs were played "live" over 40 years ago. I do wish there was a more detailed booklet though explaining where the songs were played live. But then again it's all about the music and this is a nice cd to add to your Santana collection.
