Santana in Concert
Few musicians in the history of American popular music inspire the same reverence as Carlos Santana. For more than four decades, he has been one of the music world's most distinctive and exciting guitarists, maintaining his reputation as an artist who continues to revolutionize the form.
Long before listeners knew terms like "fusion" and "world music," Santana was already a master who blended genres and traditions into a sound that was all his own. It's no wonder the young guitarist generated so much excitement as a foremost member of the Bay Area's fertile music community of the late 1960s.
With the release of his debut album Santana and an incendiary set at Woodstock in 1969, Santana established himself as one of the key artists of the era, gaining worldwide fame for his band's combination of Latin, jazz, blues, rock, and R&B. The new star proved his staying power when Santana remained on the Billboard charts and successors Abraxas and Santana III both reached No. 1.
In 1998, Santana was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In addition to racking up career sales of more than 100 million records, he earned another spot in history books when Supernatural — the multiplatinum 1999 album that included such hits as "Smooth" and "Maria Maria" — won nine Grammy Awards, tying the record for most wins by a single project.
In 2014, he published his best-selling memoir, The Universal Tone: Bringing My Story to Light. Among his recent musical endeavors has been Santana IV, a thrilling album that saw him reunite with musicians from his band's early-‘70s lineup; and Power of Peace, a deeply soulful collaboration with The Isley Brothers.
Santana returned with more new music in 2019. In Search of Mona Lisa is an EP featuring three instrumentals inspired by the awe he felt the first time he saw Leonardo da Vinci's painting during a visit to the Louvre. Santana continues to inspire the same reaction at shows by the current incarnation of the band that bears his name. His team of first-tier players includes drummer Cindy Blackman Santana (Lenny Kravitz, Pharoah Sanders), bassist Benny Rietveld (Miles Davis, Sheila E.), keyboardist David K. Mathews (Tower of Power, Etta James), and percussionist Karl Perazzo (Mariah Carey, Tito Puente).

Santana, and his band (which also features Santana's wife, Cindy Blackman Santana) highlight songs from both his Supernatural and Woodstock eras, as well as newer tracks from his 2019 full-length album Africa Speaks and some incredible surprises. Earth, Wind & Fire is one of music's most celebrated musical forces in history with an iconic music catalog that has been the soundtrack of millions of lives around the world.
In 2019, Santana celebrated the 20th anniversary of his revolutionary, multiple Grammy Award-wining album Supernatural, along with the 50th anniversary of his Woodstock performance. Santana's 1999 album Supernatural featured the back-to-back No. 1 singles "Smooth" and "Maria Maria" and sold over 30 million copies worldwide, topping the charts in over a dozen countries and sweeping the 2000 Grammy Awards.

The Carlos Santana concert was amazing! High, High energy non-stop. And give the Drummer some!!!! Mrs. Santana- no words can describe the skill, the talent, and her physical abilities. Loved the show will recommend everyone to see it.
Great concert, everyone in the band were very entertaining. Carlos was great on the guitar.
Santana came out of the gate swinging! Incredible, high energy concert, with (of course, after all, it IS Santana) super-tight percussion. Had a blast! Note: we chose the reserved seating in lieu of the close-up-but-always-standing general seating. Since the house of blues is an intimate setting, we could still see very well. We were about mid section house left. I do wish we could have been a bit closer though.
Great playlist. Excellent sound an mix. Loved the intimacy of the venue.
Carlos Santana still has it! His music, the vocals, the musicians did not disappoint 😍 They played for almost 2 hours straight. This is a must see.
The concert was outstanding. We loved it. The whole ensemble was fantasic and Santana, of course, was still making the guitar sing! We especially enjoyed the House of Blues and the intimate setting for the concert. Concert of a lifetime. Thanks!
Hands down one of the best shows I’ve ever seen! From beginning to end, it was electric!!
This was a concert that we almost didn't go to and I am thrilled that we did! Too many of the 60's and 70's artists are going through the motions and collecting off of all our feel good memories. They don't really care about the music, they play to the audience with long breaks between songs. NOT with Santana! The music was nonstop and the craftsmanship of the entire band showed, they care about the product they are producing and it was a wonderful experience! The House of Blues facility is not the greatest, but the music more than made up for any downside. If yiou can get tickets, I would highly recommend this show!
Saw him the 8.times in my live ! Love his music!!!
WHAT a great show! Carlos played nearly all of my favorite songs and he was very generous with his terrific band! Santana features an amazing drummer - his wife! - who appears to be about 30 but is 63! The venue was great and the staff at HOB was fantastic!
Absolutely amazing experience at the house of blues seeing Santana, really tight performance, great to see a legend still jamming out and giving a all out performance
I've seen the band 3 times at the house of blues in vegas. 5 times in italy. The cheapest place in the U.S. to see carlos. Fantastic concert, even if the setlist was almost the same. The show began a couple of minutes late and finished a bit early. Is 1 hour and 40 of show, with a lot of video material, a speech by Carlos, drum and bass solo. Orianthy and Carlos' nephew as guest...mhh...(i mean i'm there for carlos and not for other that will try to fit in his music somehow...doesn't work...it's boring). Let's say, 1 hour and 25 of real Santana' music. The stage is too high physically. The band was not synchronized for two shows in a row, on soul sacrifice. Problems with the IEM for sure. The mic of Salvador Santana was running through the stage monitors only and the speakers in front of the people didn't work even for half of the show. There's no meet&greet tickets. Was cool when they gave the dvd of the concert and I guess something was signed, for the people who got the table (VIP ticket). It's a cool place if you wanna see the band close and don't wanna pay 250$ or even way more for a first row. That's it. Anyway, as a fan, I've loved it, I've seen it 3 times, two in a row, even if honestly the band got technical issues made by the sound technicians and by his guitar tech (November 4th and 5th and May 17th). It's clear that whoever works for Santana, is not a hard fan, doing their job in a minimal way, just the necessary work, without really thinking or caring about the fans' perspective. That really influenced the show and how much a person could enjoy it. You can do better, and you can even make way more money...but the management should be more open to the fans. I'm not surprised, since Santana's Facebook profile has been hacked at different times, there's no promotion for certain good songs, and even the merchandise proposed outside of the venue was dupe...if you wanna have a cool dancing rock/latin night, that's perfect for any age (such a shame that is for people +21), but even for a hard fan will be cool because you can see close and the main volume is loud as f......neither ac/dc have something like this I guess
Everything was amazing being front row only thing that threw me off was Mr. Santana the legend my respect going from Compasión, kindness, Mercy too Raider nation with bad words.
There was an one hour line to get in Some seats have blocked views Santana is awesome The band is very good
Excellent concert! Santana gets better every time we see him! This is our 3rd time seeing him perform. We also liked the House of Blues venue. Quaint, cozy, and with a great sound! Saw lots of old hippies like us enjoying an evening of great music to remember a great era.
We were terribly disappointed in our seats. We were on the left of the stage, on the second level, in the middle of the section, and Carlos was completely out of view the entire show. He rarely left the left side of the stage. We really only had visibility to one of the keyboard players, a percussion guy, the tambourine guy, and the vocalist, which is fine, but that's not who I paid to see. I was surprised at how bad the seats were, as this is such an intimate venue. There were screens for viewing, but there was never a view of the entire band in one shot, and even our view of the large center screen was compromised.
Being able to watch Santana so close, the sound and intimate venue made it a 10 out of 10 experience.
Santana and his band delivered a great show. Non-stop good time. If you like classic rock this is a show for you. I would go again in a heartbeat
Nothing short of fabulous He was still sooooo good. Drummrr fab too
One wail of a show!!! House of Blues is a serious fun wonderful intimate concert venue. Carlos Santana and his band are always 10 Star strong!!! True professional with decades of classic material to spare!!! Salud!!!
