Post-Santana
Doug Rauch played his last show with Santana on New Year's Eve 1973-1974. He was replaced by returning original bassist David Brown. Later that year Rauch teamed up with David Bowie for his Diamond Dogs tour for a month in September 1974. He also did studio session-work for Japanese singer / guitarist Shigeru Suzuki's album "Bandwagon". In July–August 1975 Rauch performed and recorded with Lenny White on his solo release fusion jazz classic "Venusian Summer". The same year Rauch joined the Cobham & Duke Band. However, this collaboration was short-lived due to Rauch's increasing substance abuse problems. His later collaboration with the Jan Hammer Band was also short-lived and he was replaced by Fernando Saunders in late 1975.
