Spirits Dancing In The Flesh is one of my personal favorite deep tracks. Carlos and the group always change it up a bit and this is one of the best live versions of the song I have. I was very lucky to hang out with Raul Rekow & Karl Perazzo in my St. Louis days back in 2000. They wanted to go to one of the casinos near Riverport Ampitheatre and we stayed until 5am and I had to teach at 7am. I was on pure adrenaline. In 2002 when they came back into town, I was able to see them again and also met one of my favorite organists/keyboardists of Santana, Chester Thompson and he was such a humble man.
