In September 2010, Santana was riding high on a wave of renewed popularity, having released his album "Guitar Heaven: The Greatest Guitar Classics of All Time" the previous year. This ambitious project featured classic rock songs reimagined with Santana's signature Latin-tinged guitar work and guest performances from notable artists. The live recording from Zürich captures Santana at a thrilling juncture in his career, blending his iconic sound with the energy of a diverse audience. Notably, Santana was not just revisiting classic tunes, but also electrifying them with fresh interpretations, showcasing his enduring musical evolution. It's a celebration of not just his legacy, but also of how he continues to innovate even after decades in the industry. "Smoke on the Water," played live, highlights his ability to transform even the most familiar songs into something new and exciting.
