Santana

On June 12, 1980, Santana graced the stage at Westfalenhalle in Dortmund, Germany, during a pivotal moment in their career. Just prior to this live recording, the band had released their album 'Zebra' in 1979, a project that showcased their evolving sound with elements of jazz fusion and rock. By 1980, they were blending these styles in live performances, making for an electrifying concert experience. Interestingly, this era saw Santana continuing to redefine his identity, stepping away from the mainstream rock of the late '60s and early '70s. The setlist included tracks like 'Hannibal' and 'All I Ever Wanted,' highlighting their dynamic range and the band's ability to connect with global audiences. This live show not only captures their vibrant energy but also a crucial transition in Santana's artistic journey.
