Santana Performs A Love Supreme Live at Montreux 2004

Venue: Auditorium Stravinski Location: Montreux, Vaud, Switzerland Date: July 15, 2004

In 2004, Santana delivered a stunning performance of 'A Love Supreme' at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Festival, a highlight of their tour following the release of their album 'Shaman' just a year earlier. 'Shaman' featured collaborations with various artists, showcasing Santana's unique ability to blend rock, jazz, and Latin music. This live recording is particularly notable not just for the star-studded lineup, including the legendary John McLaughlin and Herbie Hancock, but also for its spiritual essence, resonating with the themes of Coltrane's original piece. It was a moment where Santana, known for his virtuosic guitar work and passionate performances, was experiencing a resurgence in popularity after the success of 'Supernatural' in the late '90s. The Montreux show encapsulated Santana's dedication to peace and celebration through music, creating an unforgettable experience.
