Summary: Santana - power and grace
Review: This really is a must buy for anybody who is into Santana. Right from the opening 'Spritis dancing in the flesh' to the Encore 'Jingo', Carlos and co will have you dancing all over the place. The musicianship is fine, the quality of the disc is very good indeed. Highly recommended entertainment! So what you waiting for? I guarantee you won't be dissapointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Santana DVD On The Market Today!
Review: Until Santana's older performances are released on DVD, this one-and-a-half-hour concert production easily rates as the best that is available on the market today.

No one that has ever enjoyed Santana's music can fail to relish this DVD. And that probably includes you, since that is likely why you are reading this review.

The song selection represents an even mix of nine vintage and nine modern Santana tunes offering an excellent retrospective of Santana's long and illustrious career.

The DVD offers amazingly authentic renditions of the following nine classics: "Jingo" and "Soul Sacrifice" from the self-titled debut album, "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen," "Oye Como Va," and "Samba Pa Ti" from the second album "Abraxas," and "Batuka," "No One To Depend On," "Toussaint L'Overture," and "Guajira" from the third album "Santana III."

This superbly produced DVD of Santana's 1993 live performance, on home turf in Mexico City, features old hands such as Carlos Santana (lead guitar), Chester Thompson (keyboards), Alex Ligertwood (lead vocals), Raul Rekow (bongos and congas), Karl Perazzo (timbales & cow bell), and a flawless cast of newer Santana members on drums and bass. The performance also features Jorge Santana, the youngest of the three Santana brothers, on guitar.

The filming is competent and includes superb footage of each musician as well as the audience, which clearly appears to be having a wonderful time.
