Santana performs Sideways live at Stadthalle Vienna, Austria
In 2003, Santana was riding high on the success of his album "Shaman," which had been released just a year prior. This period marked a significant resurgence for the band, blending their classic rock roots with contemporary sounds. The live recording from Vienna on September 10 captures the electric atmosphere of their performances, showcasing hits like "Smooth" alongside newer material. It was also a time when Carlos Santana was embracing the spirit of collaboration, experimenting with various artists, which added vibrant layers to their sound. Notably, this concert took place during a European tour that celebrated their comeback and solidified Santana's status as a legendary live act, reconnecting with fans old and new in iconic venues like the Wiener Stadthalle.
