Santana

In 1998, just before this electrifying live recording at the Paolo Soleri Amphitheatre in Santa Fe, Santana had released "Supernatural" in 1999, which was a massive hit and marked a significant turning point in his career. This album featured collaborations with artists like Rob Thomas and became a cultural phenomenon, reviving his presence in the mainstream music scene. During this live performance, one could feel the energy and vibrant spirit that defined Santana's music—melding rock, blues, and Latin influences into an unforgettable experience. Interestingly, this concert also highlighted Santana's seamless ability to engage with the crowd, a trait that has characterized his performances throughout his career. It was around this period that Santana was rediscovering his love for live music, and you can hear that passion radiating in this recording.
