Santana - Sacred Fire

Rating:
Summary: Great music, great footage, great people
Review: Maybe my rewiew is biased as I am a Santana fan for many many years. But as a music collector, I have a good judgment about what is quality musicianship, music, sound, and interpretation. From that point of view, the Sacred Fire dvd is all about that.
If you like Santana's music, you will enjoy that prestation which will energize your life each time you will play the dvd. I totally agree with a precedent review : Peoples in there, both the crowd and musicians, are making a celebration of music and life. I already had the music cd for many years, but I can't resist to buy that great concert. Enjoy, smile, trip, boogie, as long as you wish...

Summary: simply mind blowing
Review: SANTANA SACRED FIRE, IS ONE OF THE BEST DVDS I HAVE SEEN.ITS FAST PACE, AND THE AUDIENCE EVEN MAKES IT FASTER.CONSIDERING IT WAS MADE IN 1993,THE SOUND MIX WAS SUPERB ESPECIALLY IN DTS,WHERE THE SEPARATION OF THE FRONT AND SURROUND CHANNELS WAS OUTSTANDING,BASS TO WAS CLEAN AND VERY CONTROLLED.SUPERNATURALWAS VERY GOOD BUT THIS WAS EVEN BETTER.YOU COULD SEE THE YOUNGER SANTANA HERE AT HIS VERY BEST WITH FINGER TIP PRECISSION WHILE PLAYING THE GUITAR.ALL IN ALL A GREAT DVD,IF YOU SEE THIS ONE BUY IT NOW AND DONT LET IT SLIP OUT OF YOUR HANDS ONE OF THE VERY BEST.

Summary: On fire
Review: The music performed on this DVD is top notch. The band is great and are clearly having fun playing together. There's some really nice conga-playing here. However, this DVD is not in 5.1 surround sound. There are two options under audio setup, PCM Stereo and Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo. I originally bought this DVD because I thought it had 5.1 Dolby and/or DTS. But the 2-channel audio is excellent. I prefer the Dolby Digital 2.0 to the PCM stereo, but then that's just me.
If you like Santana or then Sacred Fire is a must-have. Even if you just like good percussion-playing, then this DVD is worth a look. I don't think you'll be dissappointed.

Summary: AWESOME !!
Review: This DVD really rocks! The solos are incredible! If you have been waiting for more "classic" Carlos on DVD, here it is. Hopefully they will come out with even older stuff, but this is absolutely worth it!

Summary: more than a concert
Review: This is more than a concert -- it's a celebration of music. Santana purists might whine, but I loved the interpolation of all kinds of tunes into Carlos' solos. He throws in all kinds of riffs - "Owner of a Lonely Heart" and "Light My Fire" are just a few -- and you have to pay attention or you miss them. The end result is a whole lot of new life put into some old songs. This is one of the best concerts I've ever seen or heard, and it blows away the Supernatural Live DVD. If you liked the Sacred Fire CD, you'll love this DVD: it has more tracks and some of the tracks are longer.
