Album Review

For their third live album, Santana introduced a new bass player, Myron Dove, and added guitarist Jorge Santana (Carlos Santana's brother), and singer Vorriece Cooper to bring the band up to nine members. Adopting the mantle of Bob Marley, the band played "Esperando," which borrowed Marley's characteristic audience chant. Much of the album is given over to repeating Santana's earliest hits — "No One to Depend On," "Black Magic Woman," "Soul Sacrifice," — which should please the band's new record label (it's always good to have versions of the hits in your catalog).

Customer Reviews

Santana at his best, a must have!

I got this album last March, and I've listened to it now about 1000 times. Never gets old. Not even a tiny bit. The album starts off with a quiet intro, Angels All Around Us. Viva La Vida is an upbeat song with a latino-rock feel. And then the album moves to Esperando, which I can't get enough of. It's a combination of Bob Marley's style with a little reggae-rap at the beginning. No One to Depend on is in english, featuring some sweet guitar and backing music. The song after that is possibly the best song on the album Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen. It starts off like the studio version, and you get an added bonus: 4 minutes of pure magic, with some killer guitar by Santana and sweet percussion. It ends with a dramatic ending, and goes straight into Oye Como Va, which we all know as Santana's greatest. Samba Pa Ti is like Latin Jazz, which builds up a little throughout the song. I liked Guajira, although it wasn't the best song on the album. I gave it four stars. Make Somebody Happy is lame. Don't waste you iPod memory with it. And then the last four songs were beautiful, Ji-Go-Lo-Ba is Jingo, but with the chorus as the name. To sum it up, sweet album, with the exception of Make Somebody Happy.

Great Song

This song is probably Santana's most famous song. The guitar soloing is amazing. I don't think I've met anyone who didn't like this song. Enjoy it because you will find yourself listening to it over and over again. Especially, the guitar solo.

A Must-Have

My father recently got the live show on dvd and i instantly fell in love. Sacred Fire is one of if not the best live performance Santana has graced us with. Just listen to his wailing guitar in Black Magic Woman and you'll be hooked!

Biography

Formed: 1966 in San Francisco, CA

Genre: Rock

Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s

Santana is the primary exponent of Latin-tinged rock, particularly due to its combination of Latin percussion (congas, timbales, etc.) with bandleader Carlos Santana's distinctive, high-pitched lead guitar playing. The group was the last major act to emerge from the psychedelic San Francisco music scene of the 1960s and it enjoyed massive success at the end of the decade and into the early '70s. The musical direction then changed to a more contemplative and jazzy style as the band's early personnel...
