Notes: In October 1970 Eric Clapton and the Dominoes arrived in Berkeley.
Eric had heard about a young teenage kid called Neil Schon, who was creating
quite a stir on the local scene. He was recording with Santana down at the Village
recorder in San Francisco and Eric and some Dominoes went down to check him out.
Before long the Santana band and Eric and co were jamming away. Those jams
are the result of that informal meeting. Eric was certainly impressed and invited young
Neil to play with him and the Dominoes at the Berkeley shows. The shows were so
good that Eric asked him to join the band. He declined and went on to be a key
member in Santana and later formed Journey.

Comment: Above notes, taken from internet has some incorrect
information It was not October, but November.
Santana was definitely doing studio sessions at the Wally Heider
Studios in November 1970. Why this was given the name Village Recorder Tapes
is anyone’s guess.
