This is how you make music . True artists at work .

Absolutely hands down one of the greatest live improv performances anytime anywhere

Two guitar masters jamming and having fun. George Benson and Carlos Santana are amazing.

My first concert without my parents I was 16. I ran up the bleachers to where George was walking to the stage to get a glimpse of him. He gave me the biggest most beautiful smile I will never forget! I loved his music I listened endlessly as a teen ❤️

Wow. Just peak musicianship. Goosebumps. Clearly unrehearsed and interesting how they took a little while to figure the interaction, then just tore it up when they did. Carlos looking for the line, George giving him room, then magic. Wow.

saw santana open for clapton during the ocean boulevard tour at seattle center when i was in the army. one of the best concerts i ever attended.

Santana è come il vento del deserto, come la brezza della sera in un calda giornata d'estate. Come i colori di un tramonto infuocato. La sua è una musica eterna che ti fa accendere immagini, luoghi, persone e profumi.

When you're life hits a bad time just listen to these two and you can rise above it,Thank you George and Carlos

Playing Guitar and Touring with Santana was nuts. I am a talented classically trained musician and I still found myself in awe of his abilities!

2 guitar legends on the stage together is a once in a lifetime occasion!!! The goal of the guitar player is no doubt greatly inspired by viewing this classic clip!!!!

No matter what guitar he's played over the years, Santana has always had that very easily recognizable signature sound. I guess tone really is in the fingers.

Carlos is all signature tone, sound and feel. His notes, his licks are beautiful beyond description. No one cares who the better guitar player is on a technical level ... Carlos Santana alone has touched more people and sold more records, sold out more arenas than George Benson ever has, not to take anything away from the great GB. But it's all about the music not the guitar playing.

Carlos Santana and George Benson. Love it!

George Benson, The MAN just drippin swagu everywhere

Wow! George is oneof my all time favorite singer-guitarist plus the awesome Santana. Superb performance. Love it!

Queda demostrado que la música une a los pueblos. Esta versión nos conmueve. Que Dios los bendiga.

George Benson is one of the all time greats!

YES! They compliment each other SO well.

This is what i love about Santana he can take you to a better place, and all you have to do is close your eyes.

Carlos played violin for a half dozen years in Mexico in his father's bands. A very melodic and underrated guitarist. George started out as a child singer before he ever picked up a guitar. Two of the most inspirational musicians I can think of. They make this Gabor Szabo song work very well.

Brilliant! Love Santana's soul and expression.. as for George he makes everything look soooo easy!! They are both AWESOME!

This music and George Bensons Breezin album got me playing the drums after over 20 years without that joy, this is pure musicianship at its finest. Both drummer and bassist are possibly my favourite too. Just fantastic at feeling music.

There are just a few people who can make Mexico's name shine... Santana you are one of these

Both are my favourite guitarist & singers! Im a small not so famous musician, but I've enjoyed them for years!

What I like the best is that they are enjoying playing together

Two great guitarists complementing each other's style all the way!

Hermosa época que aunque no volverá, la podemos disfrutar gracias a youtube. Viva Santana, viva Benson.

These were the days when we were entertained by real entertainers. Many thank's for posting a quality performance like this one.

Love it!!!! George Benson and Carlos Santana "Breezin" on the Midnight Special 1976!

These guys speak with their guitar, awesome.

No lessons here unless they are both giving them to us. I love it.

George brings out the best in Carlos!

to the haters: Shhh, they are playing music, trading licks and having fun! I would LOVE a tv show in 2015 that had LIVE music with great guitarists crossing genres! Who cares "they dont mix well", "not a good pairing." Shush, 40 years later, you have something to say to a guy that played WOODSTOCK and one of the best jazz musicians on the planet! ugh...

wow- glad I found this- as both of these guys are legends. I wish music today was even close to being this good. Thank god we still have access to music from the 70's forward.

Ahhhh....true music is refreshing to hear. 2 legends 🙌🏽🙏🏽

What a treat! Two of the best guitarists in the world playing side by side. Viva Carlos y que viva George.

You know what? He is giving sign to his band when Santana plays his guitar. I love it. I need it. I should do this. Thanks Mr. Geroge Benson.

George Benson is a true master musician. At no time whatsoever is he ever trying to "outdo" Carlos Santana, despite having more than enough technical superiority to do so. Instead so, he is fully supportive of Carlos's playing, leaving lots of space for him to shine. Likewise, Carlos is humble yet comfortable enough in his own playing to do what he does, together with a bonafide jazz legend.

Great video. Great to watch. Great guitarist combo. Two legends.

So together and yet so much themselves - wow who could not love it! A treat to watch and a treat to just enjoy listening to. Thank you for posting.

Exquisite ...near perfect tonal expressions and voicing's. These artists complement each other beautifully...magic

2 LEYENDAS VIVAS QUE REVOLUCIONARON LA MUSICA Y QUE A DIOS GRACIAS EXISTEN HACEN MUSICA QUE SE ADELANTÓ A SU ÉPOCA Y QUE NUNCA PASARÁ DE MODA, PASAN A LA HISTORIA

Wow, look at those two gents having a wonderful conversation though their guitars!

Carlos Santana also performed this song during his concerts. Bobby Womack has written a masterpiece for all guitarists.

no one had it expected but mr.Santana killed so much ...respect to both of them..they are supermen

like 2 dogs chasing each other around the garden lol lol but the magic is there, I love this type of fun in music.

when singing what you'r playing on your guit........a one of a kind artist

Will always love Carlos. He cannot "not" play from the heart.

Incredible...Carlos is amazing and clearly shines

Increiblemente una de las mejores intrepretaciones que he escuchado y una de mis piezas predilectas por muchos años.

This gives me chills absolutely incredible two of my favorites together

Excellent this is good music - a gift to your ears!!!

I used to play George Benson vinyl records at weddings back in the 80's. lol I was fortunate to see Santana perform live.

two master chefs carving it up & dishing it out... :D

I LOVE this! Two fantastic guitarists enjoying the hell out of one another and trading the most beautiful licks ever!

To this day I remember seeing these two on the Midnight Special together, absolutely blew me away! I was only 12 at the time.

The difference is what makes this an amazing pairing for me... I love each of these guitarist in their own right. So it's a treat to hear them together. I'd have loved to see them each play one of the others hit song like breezin' and maybe 'samba pa ti' ?

beautiful how they play so close to each other without playing any of the same notes/riffs. very jamming:)

Que Dios los Bendiga desde Ayer, hoy, y siempre . Bendiciones para Ambos 🎶🎶

One of my favorite shows .... too bad they don't have shows like this 2016 .....

Dois monstros sagrados da música numa performance única. Thank you, TakeSixAdrian!

They blend well.They are having fun!How cool to have 2 legends together.

This left me breathless....beyond my expectations!

two of the best in the business of music....... it take me back to the good times in my life thanks for posting this

Love both .....but Carlos takes this song to a higher level as he always does ,he is a master of feel and simply is outstanding in this duet,Benson was great butin aww of Carlos.

Wow, this is good. I just don't have enough years left to listen to all the good stuff....

First time I have seen young Carlos Santana &young George benson

2men at the top of their game and people wanna make it a war. look at their expressions. loving every minute of it. it doesn't always need to be a contest. how bout just loving the music.

I thought they mixed very well with great timing neither tried to take over looked like they had great chemistry in that performance beautiful music

Wow, great rescue of a fascinating performance here. I owned albums by both these guys when I was a young man. I even had good taste back then.

I remember seeing this on TV at age 17 and it's just as amazing today as it was then!! They so jam out from the 5:30 mark on!!!

The drummer in the background is in heaven.

Simply wonderful. This is music and these are Journeymen of their craft! Marvelous.

Wow! This really made my day! They're both just having fun and look at George just smiling! Great jam song. I wish I could have been there front row baby!

The sixtees and the seventees after my opinion are the best decades for latin jazz and soul and all kind of instrumenral music. I have always like Benson for his joyful and incredible guitar and Santana foe his inovations in the latin jazz scene. Maybe lots of people have repeated it, but its true, music is very poor today and it reflects the crisis of our days.

I've never seen this one before... pretty cool mashup! I remember when Breezin' was a HUGE hit! I love GB's chops... that guy has such an amazing touch... but both were great. really enjoyed listening to this!

2 great legendary guitarist on the same stage!!!!! They both have there own style, and play awesomely!!!!!!

Beautiful Classic Music! I do love...

When I first read the title with these men's names within it, I knew they would click together. Scattered here and there, all over Santana's lifetime discography, you'll find plenty of instrumentals with this type of flavoring It was "right up his alley" to groove with George Benson

George Benson = Joyous music, very uplifting.

Wow, I tip my hat to Carlos Santana .. I truly thought he would be out of his element, playing alongside George Benson. a great jazz guitar player!! Nice Job indeed!!

The best! I was fourteen when this came out - never aloud to stay up that late Just Wonderful!

A jazz composition that was a mega platinum record, doubt this will ever happen again - gorgeous recording

Two classics workin' a classic! Outta sight! Just don't git no betta!

Rock meets Jazz, they made it work. Amazing

Two of my heroes playing together and off of each other! I had no idea this happened, what a performance! They both play exactly what needs to be played with taste and their styles work so well together

Diosss Que recuerdos, Excelente interpretación de ambos.

Too much greatness for one stage. I’m surprised the stage is not collapsing under the weight of such greatness.

just an unbelievable beautiful collaboration. just complimenting each other in every way. an unreal piece of music.

two fellas who purely and quite beautifully make those guitars sing... thanks for the upload.. :-)

The enigmatic and the energetic George Benson.

the whole idea of guys playing together, for the joy of it, without the egos, is what made these times the best in music history. just having fun together, & playing their asses off. what more can you ask for??

Best of the best...crazy...wow🎧🎵🎶🎸🎸👌

Awesome guitar players. Awesome song!

Let me just pick my jaw UP OFF THE FLOOR and say WOW!!!!! You could see Carlos watching George and absorbing the progression and planning his attack and then YEAH BUDDY!

They both have their own unique sound and style! Play a song you're not familiar with, and you here Santana's sound, you know it's him!!! Same way with George although he borrowed and took the style of Wes Montgomery and brought into the era in which he played! I've seen both indiviually!! Mr Benson twice and Santana at least 6 times, maybe closer to 10 times! 70"s and early 80's, what can I say!

Absolutely beautiful...Dynamic Duo....blessings

Benson and Santana are great. Benson has the best road trip music especially when driving to the keys

Superb , thanks of your existance .

Magic before our 👀
