Interesting how people's tastes differ.  The Fleetwood Mas version does nothing for me....perhaps it's because I really love the bass line in the Santana version.

That's about the only original part of the Santana version.  He pretty much copped Peter Green's lead.

I like both versions but if I had to pick it would be Fleetwood Mac without a second thought.

Neal joined Santana after Woodstock. After Neal joined Carlos let Neal do most of the lead guitar work

That is not true. Neal played some leads but didn't do most of the lead work.

He also plays on some of the tracks on "Caravanserai" and there's also Doug Rodrigues and even bassist Doug Rauch playing some guitar but most of the lead work is by Carlos.

This was the greatest Santana band if you ask me:

Maybe it's because I heard the Santana version first and I'm totally partial to the bassline in that as well, but I think the Peter Green version pales to it in comparison like black white TV did to color TV in the late sixties.
