His press team quickly released a statement saying that the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer was overtaken by heat exhaustion and dehydration. "Carlos was taken to the emergency department at McLaren Clarkston for observation and is doing well." Santana’s manager Michael Vrionis said in the press release, “The show for tomorrow, July 6, at The Pavilion at Star Lake (formerly the S&T Bank Music Park) in Burgettstown, PA. will be postponed to a later date. More details to follow thru Live Nation."
Santana later posted a message to his fans on his Facebook page, saying, "to one and all
thank you for your precious prayers
Cindy and I we are good just taking it easy
forgot to eat and drink water
so i dehydrated and passed out
blessings and miracles to you all."
Cindy, of course, is his wife, drummer Cindy Blackman Santana. Santana's next scheduled date is July 8 at the Ruoff Music Center in Noblesville, IN.
The Who’s Live at Leeds was released on May 16, 1970, and it’s one of the greatest live albums of all time.
It saw the band adding heavier guitars to their mod-era classics and to some early rock and roll chesnuts, and it holds up to any of their studio albums. Through the ‘70s, and ever since, rock bands have been releasing live documents of their concerts, and while some of them are little more than “greatest hits” collections with crowd noise, the albums on this list are essential parts of their respective artists’ discographies.
