Looking for an interview , here on CZcams, with Chester Thompson and this came up . I swear , Chester Thompson is such an amazing musician, it blows my mind the chemistry he had with Carlos - the subliminal synchronicity they had - just totally Supernatural (pun intended!) . He was the perfect foil for Carlos , the way he embellished the melodies and rhythms. Never get tired of hearing these songs
CT is my favorite musician in the whole wide world!!!! NOBODY plays like him NOBODY, the most soulful, jazzy, R&B player that ever touched that B3. I bow to him and thank God for his magic with Santana and Tower of Power and with his trio before all of it (like I said I'm a serious fan/follower of CT) I bow to him and he brought out the best of Carlos and the Horns too. in Gratitude and Peace Nitram
There were / are few Hammond players in Chester's class - Dr Lonnie Smith, Jimmy Smith, Bill Mason, Jimmy McGriff and from the relatively modern era Joey de Francisco, Cory Henry and Barbara Dennerlein - no doubt I've missed a few but this is an elite club few can ever hope to join. Pure brilliance.
He is amazing! He didn't play the Hammond.... he COMMANDED the Hammond.... he DEMANDED from the Hammond. He tamped that Hammond into submission! Just exciting to watch and hear.
The only other B3 player who could hang with the names you've mentioned would be Roger Smith from Tower of Power. The man is an absolute monster player. What a great list of B3'ers. And to Joey D - RIP.
@@johnnyfannucci Tom Coster wasn‘t a slouch, he just didn‘t fit into the band with his more academic style of playing. Santana needs what I call Latin Rock‘n‘Rollers like Rolie or Thompson.
He's not a vibe killer you cookoo clock. NO SANTANA NO BAND. I've seen santana at least 8 times live, every show was unforgettable. He's just a perfectionist.
how many years after 1970 release and this band digs into this tune - an authoritative version with all sorts of arrangement points & song quotes - compared to vintage Santana |Band, its now an active guitar pickup sound, a way louder kick drum, a lined in Hammond rather than a mic'd one- and still I dig it; CTs hiring, up from the Tower in 1983, was genius
The line up changed over the years but in 1971: Neal Schon, Gregg Rolie, Michael Shrieve, Michael Carabello, David Brown, Carlos Santana, José "Chepito" Areas.

It wasn’t “ease up”. Carlos was trying to get his attention for the upcoming transition. CT was clearly deep in the zone with that solo. Probably would’ve gone on for another 5 minutes. I play organ on this song and it’s really easy to lose track of time. So much fun!
That’s one thing I absolutely hate about Carlos when I’ve seen the band live. He forever points and directs and instructs the other players instead of letting the music flow. He’s a vibe killer on stage. You can see it all throughout the video of the Santana IV reunion a few years back, live in Las Vegas, and you can see it here at 6:06, where he is motioning wildly with his arms for CT to stop and end his solo. (I’d much rather listen to a lengthy CT solo than a typical scripted Carlos solo.) You can’t take anything away from Carlos; he’s a self made man, but that band in those early days should have been called Rolie… as Gregg was the driving force in those days.
@@awaken77 They've practiced, the band know when Chester will finish. There is no way Carlos is telling Chester to finish, he is fanning himself because Chester tops the solo out and it's hot stuff.

Well said ! I feel the same way !
The greatest HAMMOND player of SANTANA. An incredible player.
Santana - one of the premier class bands of the 60's and forward. CT is killing it here!
Saw Santana in Mexico City live, best time I have had.

@@BlondieSL I know, right. SOMEBODY CALL THE FIRE BRIGADE!!

Cory Henry - - overrated.
First class Hammond tamer!
I love that B3 Chester and Santana how much better can it get Just amazing.
Chester is the effin man. Couple moments there was the absolute. He was holding back.
CT is the man!
Chester Thompson: the best thing to ever happen to Carlos Santana.
And vice versa.
What about the guy that started that "other" band. I mean they were pretty smalltime, but ever heard of Journey? lol
@@jimmybuffet4970 I love Journey with Gregg Rolie on keyboard and vocal. Journey was good until Steve Perry ruined the band
Tom Coster was no slouch

На все времена, замечательные музыканты. СПАСИБО, Карлос Батькович!
Owww Yeah.🤘👌🖤
Great Chester Thompson!
You think CT's good *here*? Well then check him out with Tower of Power. Best funk organ player ever. A legend!
Yea, this is not his best side :)
David Matthews,too currently with band was also with Tower,
He's not a vibe killer you cookoo clock. NO SANTANA NO BAND. I've seen santana at least 8 times live, every show was unforgettable. He's just a perfectionist.
Best concert I have ever been too.
famous real legendary HAMMOND amazing sound with Leslie cabinet and great Chester Thompson, an HAMMOND master. The amazing SANTANA sound.
my buddy such a great honor to have been a guest at his redrocks concert !
Those were the days , I lived for his pure spiritual karma , Incredible energy
legend band
CHESTER THOMPSON is the HAMMOND God, an incredible player of this fabulous B3 HAMMOND with tonewheels.
CT is amazing!! & i agree with all the other comments below. the 19 who gave this a thumbs down must all be Justin Bieber, 1 Direction & Kpop fans!
FABULOUS UNRIVALED HAMMOND B3, a legend, the real one, not copy !
Este ritmo pone a todos a bailar... pero oye,, como va?... gracias Santana.
ISRAEL NUFIO Isso é pura verdade.
Ohhh shit!!! This guys...... We Will never see something like this any more.... Oh sshhiiitttt!!!!!
Awesome CT!
Great Hammond solo with a phenominal group Santana!
definitely a hammond player ! notice the expression on his face, when he changes from that silly keyboard to the hammond ! ;-)
Holy crap!!!!
Santana one of the Greatest ever to put hands on a guitar he can make that guitar talk to you check CT out on that organ smoking man
Chester Thompson is insane. You can tell the way that he has been possessed by the music and that he is basically on cruise control.
Chester Thompson feels music and he is very much moved and out of control at the moment of no return
Chester Thompson is moved by music and plays how and wat he feels at that very moment while n the moment. You can tell Luv it Chester.
Carlos always has the best with him❤️❤️❤️
He needed it.
Love CT
Note that facial expression, when Chester glides from Yamaha keyboard to Hammond - that the real thing, not plastic crap 4:29 to 4:33
Chester Thompson rulez! 4:30
Chester Thompson, Bernie Worrell and Billy Preston. The holy trinity of hammond organ.
All incredible players. 😎
Very good
CT can do it....the best
Amazing camerawork of the organ - thank you for posting!
Awsome!!!
Awesome!!!!!

CT 🇩🇰
love how that bass is doing his own thing in his own key ;)
Chester is perfect and the best keyboarder for Santana.
Jürgen Mazerl I though tommy coster was just as cool (Moonflower) album
TC was a better fit for Santana and CT for TOP....
CT is definitely a master but when I hear Santana in my mind I hear Rolie.
Sweet!
chester and the hammond b3 is the greatest ....
this is best
CT is so far off the fuckin hook! All the love! You can feel it! CT has always been ridiculous on a Hammond!
I love the way how he do it. Hi didnt copy Greg Rolie solo, but created his own
Yeah ! Check out Carlos how he had to reel Chester back in from that solo..Chester went 5th dimension on him and Carlos could not follow..LOL
CT IS GOD ON THE B3, OR SHOULD BE!!!
the best Hammond solo I've ever heard!! Amazing
Try Bill Mason's solo on Fireeater by Rusty Bryant.
And, Dennis chamber holding a beat a chewing gum….🎶🎵
Really? WOW thanks for the upload it’s not only electric it’s spiritual. They remember themselves
one word " Whaaaaaooow"
grandissimi!!!
thaqt organ player is "not from this world" good!
Check out the Tower of Power albums with CT
Ebony Jam - In The Slot,.mid 70's.
any body would sound great with this band as a background!
CT sweats out Generator-Oil 😂😂😎👍🔊🎹🎹
Imagine playing Santana every night of the week. For a 9 month tour.
Yah, he probably never had to practice much.
Nice shirt Carlos
Monster on B3!
Someone call an ambulance while I check to see if the organ still has a pulse. Good Lord! I don't think the organ is going to pull through!
I met CT at a Hammond B3 summit
Muy buena
すげえな🎵🎵🎵➰のりのり★★★～～～
サンタナvictory
だいすきよ。、。
🏁🏁🏁🎵🎵🎵➰➰➰
The bassist is really good too
The first percussion instrument before drums is Piano. Go C.T. !
nice
nice solo...with one hand...=)
気分爽快ね
守護神さん
わたしも快感よ～～～333✌🎵🎵🎵➰
Prince always said that his guitar playing took far more from Santana than Hendrix, and I can really hear that here.
thumbs up for the bob marley tshirt (Y)
Hola que me dicen de Billy Preston con quien no ha tocado??
Gregg Rolie is one of the best organists (if not the best) of rock '70s.
6:17 Owner of a lonely heart 🤔
C.T. it is.- David Matthews now.
well done. But, where is Bryan Auger? Jimmy Smith?
さいこうだな♪♪♪′′′のりのり☆☆☆～～～
さいこうです。ね🎵🎵🎵
According to Rick Wakeman this translates to 'Oi, come over'
.we wanted to know the 70s group names and there situation now
The line up changed over the years but in 1971:
Neal Schon, Gregg Rolie, Michael Shrieve, Michael Carabello, David Brown, Carlos Santana, José "Chepito" Areas.
Is that Benny on bass?

This is Chester….
さいこうですね🎵🎵🎵☀➰🍶🍸🍶🏁🏁🏁
is it just me or i see santana waving the guy to easy on the solo on 6:07 or maybe is a reverence sings werever grat solo
6:17 - what it was? kind of a joke? riff from Yes Owner Of A Lonely Hearts
Me GUSTA LATINO.
6:07 Why is he signaling him to ease up on the solo?
It wasn’t “ease up”. Carlos was trying to get his attention for the upcoming transition. CT was clearly deep in the zone with that solo. Probably would’ve gone on for another 5 minutes. I play organ on this song and it’s really easy to lose track of time. So much fun!
There is never too much CT!
He is Carlos Santana……. He doesn’t get his own freaking mic?!
Chester's sick solo start czcams.com/video/p9DJL3aoZnE/video.html.
いいねさいこうね

His waving is to cool down CT's steaming solo . . .
@@tclaessens damn right the guy was on fire he was just coolin him off, complimenting him for sure.
He had to. Or else the rest of the band was ready to bust a nut
they should communicate somehow when to end the solo, because concert have fixed set-list and there's time for other songs and other players' solo
@@awaken77 They've practiced, the band know when Chester will finish. There is no way Carlos is telling Chester to finish, he is fanning himself because Chester tops the solo out and it's hot stuff.
CT is fine!
But the song is played from the others nok
7 years and no one is going to mention how jacked up that bass is? Not even in tune for 98% of the song. Horrible...
Pinta tu madre patria de colores so you can't tell the difference entre los others!
