Friday, September 5, 1969 was night two of Santana's stand at the Fillmore West, with Sea Train and Yusef Lateef, under David Singer's orange BG-190.

The image deserves describing accurately, and this chronicle previously got it wrong. A hand reaches down into a field of grass and gently places a crystal sphere with a child inside it onto the ground; superimposed on the front of the sphere is the silhouette of a horse. It is a smaller collage than Singer usually made, which leaves an unusual amount of the sheet to the band's name — a design decision that reads, in hindsight, like an acknowledgement of what had happened to Santana that summer.

Because they had been third-billed at this hall almost exactly a year earlier, under Lee Conklin's lion, listed in the venue records under one word. Woodstock happened in between, and a debut album carrying a redrawn version of that same lion. By September they were the name in the largest type on the poster.

Yusef Lateef, third on this card, is the booking that makes it a Fillmore bill rather than a rock bill: a multi-instrumentalist recording since the 1950s, playing tenor, flute, oboe and the Middle Eastern reeds he had studied seriously, placed under a Latin-rock band in front of an audience that had come for Santana.
