Product Description

Blu-ray/Region Free. On March 21st, 2016, a few weeks prior to the release of the Santana IV album, the classic line-up of Santana took to the stage at the House Of Blues in Las Vegas. The show they delivered combined tracks from the new album with the classic hits from the band's first three albums, to which Santana IV is the natural successor. This was a hugely anticipated reunion of a line-up that had not performed and recorded together since the early '70s. It brought back the scintillating combination of rock, Latin, blues, jazz and African rhythms which was the band's trademark and made them truly unique. The concert was a celebration of the chemistry, dynamism and pure musical joy that had made the original band so special and earned them a place in so many fans hearts. It is a show to be enjoyed over and over again. Bonus features: interviews with the band.

This BluRay Concert is like a party from start to finish.
Excellent audio and video. Wonderful musicians. Great playlist.We are rocking a wall of Klipsch speakers with tons of power; this BluRay sounds great at all volume levels; louder is better!Many of these musicians can stand tall on their own. Together, this band makes magic.Great set list. Great performance. Great production quality.I hesitated to purchase the DVD as it is a bit out of my norm - I dig quality blues. However, having watched this performance, I can truly say I should have pulled the trigger much sooner; at least now I can listen to it repeatedly and at my leisure.The Latin influence and heavy bassline is most excellent. The guitarwork is top notch.Carlos Santana is Superb. Neal Schon compliments and contributes quite well.Highly recommended! Sit back with your favorite beverage, crank it up, and enjoy!

Santana is amazing regardless of who is a member of his band. His playing is melodic, distinctive and sublime: two notes on any track by any artist and I can tell you instantly that it's Carlos playing. That is a remarkable level of talent. He'd spent so many years recently exploring collaborations, I was in awe of the fact that Neal Schon convinced him to do this. The first three albums by Santana are the greatest. And even though he's made so many great albums since, I've always longed to see the original iteration of his band. Little could I have imagined they would so easily re-capture, not just the sound, but the MAGIC behind the sound. The new album LITERALLY picks up right where they left off. With all of the growth, and considerable musical journey (Ok, pun intended) of the different members of this band, they've recaptured something special that few bands could come close to doing - and after such a long time. A testament to not only their abilities but what they still share collectively as musicians. This video contains not only all of the early classics you want but the majority of this new material that sounds like it was recorded right with them. One of my other favorite guitarists, Neal Schon, is as amazing as always and it is great hear Gregg Rolie's still amazing (and untarnished) voice singing in front of Santana again. Michael Schrieve and Michael Carabello sound fantastic. Since original bassist David Brown has long since passed, Santana's current Bassist Benny Ritveldt ably fills his shoes, and he is as good or even better. I am so glad Carlos decided he was still the guy in this context. As for the other percussionist, we get current percussionist Karl Perazzo, who is an utterly driving force within the music - what a monster this guy is. Unfortunately, the previous percussionist had to be left out. Not only aged significantly, I read of something really, really bad that he did and I can understand why Carlos has distanced himself from that guy. Karl is at least as good or better anyway.

I was lucky enough to see one of the rare shows by this new re-iteration of the old band in Allentown, PA & it was as amazing as what you see on this video. I really hope Carlos decides to do more shows and maybe even another recording or two with them. I will be first in line for more of this.

My husband and I sat through half of Santana IV at Amazon Prime video - I could tell: I need this DVD! The video simply doesn't do justice to the staging and music delivered in superb quality on the DVD. I also enjoyed reading the booklet that came with the DVD that gives the history of the band, their constant interactions over 45 years, which culminated in Neal Schon getting them all together for the live concert at The House of Blues, Vegas in 2016.

WOW. What a show! As others mention, the new songs are a perfect fit with the same, relentless energy and style of the old favorites. Listen to the percussion: it's like a living, breathing BEAST that plays non-stop throughout the entire concert. Karl Perazzo on his set - human DYNAMO! - his playing is so energetic you will need a break just to exhale! Michael Shrieve - now 70+ - still playing like that wild-haired kid at Woodstock! Michael Carabello, looking like a sweet librarian at the percussion, Gregg Rolie cackling like the Devil on an old Hammond keyboard, Neal Schon, his mile-wide SMILE the entire time he's playing or singing.... And then CARLOS SANTANA! Peerless. He literally writes poetry with his playing, initiating a lively - or soothing - dialogue like no other guitar player I've ever heard. This concert will transport you back in time as if 45 years vanished. The playing is passionate, ENERGETIC, simply memorable! The legend lives ON!

I'm old enough that I first heard Santana I as a 14 year old and always loved the first albums. When I first heard about the Santana reunion with the original lineup I was intrigued but skeptical. The idea of writing, recording, and performing new music after nearly half a century apart and still retain the magical sound of early Santana seemed very unlikely. All too often the music composed decades after the initial sucess results in new material that sadly pales in comparision to the originals. How often do you watch a concert where the artist(s) play new songs that sound nothing like the classics and kill the flow so you reach for the remote to skip to the next track. Not so on this blu-ray.

This concert blu-ray is the happy exception. The new songs from Santana IV are so good and so recognizable, that the new songs made me wonder if some were old songs I'd forgotten rather than new. That's rare, if not unheard of.

If you love the early hits from the Santana, Abraxas, and Santana III albums, I can't imagine you'll not like Santana IV. Even though Carlos Santana, Neil Schon, Greg Rolie, and Michael Shrieve all 65+ years old you'd never know it. Newer members Karl Perazzo and Benny Rietveld are every bit their equals. The performance captured here are of superb musicians still at the top of their game playing great music.

The only disappointment is the blu-ray navigation - slow, clunky, and lacking in ease of use. When selecting a track, the highlighted track color is so subtle that it's hard to see what's really highlighted. Minor quibble.

Overall a must have for Santana fans.
