Santana

In August 1985, during a vibrant era for Santana, the band performed live at the Pacific Amphitheatre in Costa Mesa, California. Just prior to this show, in 1985, they released the album 'Beyond Appearances,' which showcased their distinctive blend of rock and Latin influences. At this point in their career, Santana was reestablishing their presence in the music scene after the commercial success of the late '70s and early '80s. This performance of 'Now That You Know' highlights their ongoing evolution, as it differs from the version on 'Blues for Salvador,' a project that would come out later in 1987. Fans of Santana often note that the band's live shows during this time were electric, mixing improvisation with their well-known hits, capturing the spirit of a band that thrived on the energy of live audiences, making each show a unique experience.
