In fantastic shape, especially being on such thin paper stock. A hard to find and a must-have for the hard-core. June 16 Sun: Matrix Benefit. Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco, CA Note: First appearance at this venue since June 17, 1967, when Bill Graham banned the band for showing up late. On the poster, the band’s name is changed from Santana Blues Band to simply Santana. First time as Santana! Quote from Carlos Santana (The Universal Tone 2014): In June we played a benefit for the Matrix at the Fillmore Auditorium---the first time we had played there in a year. Stan and Bill talked, and Stan told him we had a new lineup with new songs. We wanted to play the Fillmore West, and we’d never be late. He also told him the band had a new name---just one word, and it wasn’t blues. (p189)
