Santana and Wayne Shorter Perform Deeper, Dig Deepe Live at Montreux

Date: July 15, 1988

In July 1988, the legendary band Santana, fronted by Carlos Santana, showcased a mesmerizing live performance of "Deeper, Dig Deeper" at the Montreux Jazz Festival. Just a year prior, Santana released the album "Beyond Appearances" (1985), which featured a blend of rock, jazz, and Latin elements, true to their iconic sound. This live recording captures a critical moment in Santana's career, as the band was navigating a musical landscape that was evolving rapidly. It was a period marked by experimentation and collaboration, evidenced by the presence of jazz saxophonist Wayne Shorter, adding a unique layer to their performance. Additionally, this era highlighted Santana's resilience and creativity as they continued to redefine their artistry and reach new audiences post-"Supernatural," which would come later in the '90s, reinvigorating their legendary status once again.
