An awesome show by one of the most gifted guitar players of my time.
This is the first time I see Santana Live, and it is the best music concert I have seen in many years. He makes immediate contact with the audience, and surrounds himself with a group of excellent musicians and singers, to offer two hours that pass all too quickly. They played ALL of my favourite songs, like Maria Maria, Jingo, Oye Como Va, Black Magic Woman, Evil Ways, to mention a few. An event to remember!
What a wonderful night of music- Michael Franti and Spearhead opening for Carlos Santana! The sounds of peace, love, sunshine and joy .... I left the show with songs in my heart and a smile on my face!
The energy and lyrics and gorgeous bod of Michael Franti was to die for. Santana was Santana ie everything you'd expect!
The most awe inspiring concert that I have ever been blessed to attend. Santana is a GOD!!!
The show was great. Everything from the starting act to the finish was smooth. It had a great deal of energy and left all feeling good.
The show was entertaing and was better than watchin another rerun on the boob tube:)
THE concert of a lifetime not to be missed. Michael Franti & Spearhead wowed the crowd and Santana's excellence was superb. A memorable evening of music and sound. Entertainment at it's best.
Tremendous show, and Michael Franti was terific as well. Santana continues to inspire with his positive message.
The only way you can sit still at a SANTANA concert,is, if you are heavily medicated. His gifted band consists of FOUR percussionists, an exceptionaly talented bassist, 2 horns,a rythm guitarist and 2 excellent vocalists. Together with Carlos Santana's flawless guitar playing, the band played 2 1/2 high energy flawless hours. If Santana is playing a concert near you, don't hessitate, GET A TICKET, it will be a performance you'll never forget.
Carlos Santana with opener Michael Franti and Spearhead was simply AMAZING! Second only to Pink Floyd on my favourite concert list. Oye Como Va, Black Magic Woman, Evil Ways... even AC/DC's Back in Black, Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit and Cream's Sunshine of Your Love were included in the setlist. Carlos took a few breaks during playtime to give his band a break and speak to the audience about the importance of Love and everyone's significance. Lovely man! This is one concert where you will be on your feet and dancing to the electrifying beat all night!
phenomenal! Amazing. I had no idea a guitar could sound like that. What a great show. And I was blown away by Michael Franti!! What a privilege to have been entertained by him as well. The sound was perfect! The sound of the bass made my pant legs pulsate, just the way loud, clean bass should. I would go again in a heartbeat. It was worth the 7 hours of driving time.
Loved the whole show including opening michael zanti.
This was a fantastic concert! One of the best I've seen in a long time. I would go see him every day if it was possible! Anyone that gets the chance should go see Carlos Santana! Dennis Chambers on drums, how could it not groove!
It was an amazing evening, mystical, energetic....Carlos Santana is the best
Micheal Franti was amazing! He interacted with the audience and had us moving. My wife and I thought that he was absolutely wonderful as an musician. Santana, what can you say about Carlos Santana? He is a music icon with class, emotion and delivers his passion with sincerity.
The start of the show was a bit of a shock- the music sounded like the musicians were all playing what ever they wanted to play but it did get better. I don't know if that opening was planned or if the sound and the musicians were not on their mark. Some great musicianship from the entire band. A definite show to see.
Sound was far TOO loud & distorted. Opening Act too long when you pay to see Santana. Santana and band truly dedicated artists, always a great pleasure to watch and listen to musicians of this caliber.
Santana was amazing. This show is in the top 3 best concerts that I have been to in my life. Right up there with The Eagles and The Stones!!! The precussion was out of this world. He made playing a guitar look so easy yet sound so complex. I was mezmerizied!! The opening act was suprising as well. I had never heard of Micheal Fanti and Spearhead before. Wasnt to sure about him at the start but became a fan by the end of his set, bare feet and all.
Excellent show. Great entertainer. "Extremely poor acoustics" Sound quality was the worst I've ever heard at any concert, and that's a lot of concerts
