In 1993, the era during which the live performance "No One to Depend On, Black Magic Woman & Oye Como Va" was recorded, Santana was experiencing a resurgence in popularity due to the success of their album "Supernatural," which was released later in 1999. However, prior to this live recording, Santana had been actively touring and was focusing on a mix of classic hits and newer material as they worked towards re-establishing their presence in the rock and Latin music scenes. Notably, Santana's unique sound, which blends rock, blues, and Latin influences, had paved the way for his band to gain a diverse audience. During this period, the band's live performances were instrumental in reaffirming their reputation, showcasing Carlos Santana's exceptional guitar skills and the ensemble's tight musicianship. The live performances, including the one captured in "Sacred Fire," highlighted both nostalgic favorites and the evolving sound of Santana's music.
