Throwback Concert: Santana at Dillon Stadium 1973

99.1 PLR celebrates 50 years! This week we are celebrating another great year in our history: 1973!

That year PLR welcomed Santana to Hartford’s Dillon Stadium. Santana hit the road in 1972-73 for its massive “Caravanserai Tour,” which made stops in North and South America, Europe, Asia and Australia. The band was supporting its fourth studio album, “Caravanserai.”

Today we revisit Santana’s 1973 concert in Hartford…
