Cultural Facts:
-
Journey Splits Off: By Welcome, original Santana keyboardist Gregg Rolie and guitarist Neal Schon had left the group. The two soon became founding members of Journey, meaning one of the biggest arena-rock bands of the next decade grew directly out of Santana's early lineup.
-
Alice Coltrane Connection: Alice Coltrane played piano and organ and arranged the opening piece, āGoing Home.ā Carlos Santana had become deeply interested in spirituality and John Coltrane's music, and working with Alice brought him directly into the musical and spiritual world that was reshaping his life.
-
Jazz Royalty Everywhere: Welcome surrounded Santana with extraordinary guests, including guitarist John McLaughlin, Brazilian singer Flora Purim, jazz vocalist Leon Thomas and flutist Joe Farrell. Rather than trying to remake the band's Woodstock-era hits, Santana was deliberately moving deeper into jazz, spirituality and improvisation.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though itās not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
