Santana Tickets

This was the worst concert we have ever been to. Santana has been a favourite for years but this concert was a major diappointment. The percusion drowned out all of Carlos' fantastic guitar playing and the keyboard. The volume was way too high and we are still feeling the effects 2 days later. We left early as did many others and we could hear them complaining about the poor sound and extreme volume.

I thoroughly enjoyed Carlos Santana as well as Michael Franti & Spearhead. Amazing. Would totally recommend the concert to everyone.

Both of the shows were really good but Santana was simply Amazing!!!! Seeing this very talented musician and realize how skilled he is with the guitars, the sense of the music, the sound, the rhythm, the old songs, the memories,... everything together to create an incredible and unforgettable evening.

People go to a show like Santana because they appreciate virtuosity in musicianship and to reconnect with all the feelings aroused by 40 + years of creativity. Of course he didn't disappoint. The familiar brings a tear to the eye - the unfamiliar delivers the WOW factor. There has always been an element of jazz in Santana's Latin Rock, but on this night he wasn't shy about taking you deep into that realm and back again. The Latin rhythms were upheld by three of the best drummers on the planet - but then, who would expect less? But ultimately, what made the night most memorable was the unexpected. God knows Carlos has enough material to do several concerts without repetition, but he chose to pay homage to other guitar greats like Hendrix and Clapton and bands like the Beatles and Led Zeplin by rendering their most identifiable riffs with an infusion of his energy.

The best. The best night in years, definitely he is the best

If you didn't go to see Santana, you missed out a great deal! ...Everything was beyond words beautiful!!!! I not only enjoyed hearing Santana himself, but also the other singers and musicians... They are all geniuses! Santana better come back to Calgary!

Great show - definately covered off what tunes I wanted to hear. Very good value for the money.

With the Saddledome only 2/3rds full, it would have been easy for them to slack off a bit, but they played unbelieveable. Great sound quality and terrific renditions of their big songs. The warm-up band Franti, was also very entertaining.

Santana and band - 4/5 Opening Act - Franti /Spearhead - 2/5 for real Santana - magic; one of the best guitar artists in the world; Carlos shares his gifts with the audience; very personable and appreciated his message about unplugging and start living; band was solid but not as tight as other nights; sound mixing issues with lead singers and instruments - for real Opening Act - younger portions of the crowd might have digged and loved this guy and his entourage; however, his songs, sounds, beats and rhythms did not take the rest of the audience anywhere imaginative nor creative enough to elevate this guy to 'sweet' status; the sound technician decided, as per most opening acts, to crank up the bass and volume in hopes of covering up deficiencies and/or jump starting the crowd; this was a mistake as the 'sweet sound' turned out to be nothing more than 'bad vibrations.' if Franti has talent, it was poorly presented and executed on Monday night at the Saddledome. Thumbs up for him sticking around to shoot photos with his groupies after his set in the corner of the dome.

With a mixture of old and new sounds, Santana had something for everyone at the Saddledome. In our row the youngest was 14 and the oldest was 67. We all rocked out. Sound was great, staging and effects awesome and Carlos was amazing

excellent show. The whole band sounded great; Carlos Santana lived up to Rolling Stones placement on top 100 guitar players of all time!!!

I was not expecting such a wonderful show. It was great from beginning to end. SANTANA is a master and in a incredible shape.The song selection was good and I love the way every song is updated. I did enjoy every second of the concert. An unforgettable night!!

I couldn't believe how low the ticket prices were to see Santana but it was worth every penny. Great music with a great band, he was on stage for approx 2 hours and delivered everything I had expected. There were not too many people sitting in their seats during this one! I drove for 7 hours to see this concert and wasn't disappointed.

Carlos Santana is extraordinary, and his band is truly amazing! I've been to a lot of concerts, but these guys are the kings of "making music," in my opinion. What a great experience!

One of the best concerts I 've ever been to! Light & love!

just amazing, more than expectation! I really enjoyed my time,

Venue, staff, sound quality, and crowd were all excellent. Carlos Santana was amazing and a very relaxed performance. The musicians and lead vocals were very talented and obviously enjoyed being there and the Calgary atmosphere.

It was just marvellous, beautiful, and splendid show.

This concert was everything I expected and more. A real surprise was the opening band which I had never heard of - they were AMAZING. Would love a CD. They interacted with the crowd, the music was absolutely terrific. Sanatan was everything I thought they would be and more. A definite don't miss event. Loved it.

We thought the concert was every bit worth the money. Even Michael Franti was entertaining. I am in awe of Santana and his musicians, they are truly talented.
