Great venue and Sanatana did not disappoint. Super guitarista.
Just as I read him say, he truly plays because he enjoys it. Over 2 and a half hours of great music, super talent including his wife on the drums!
This was an excellent show, extended beyond the 2 hour usual concert Carlos puts out to a full 3 hour show. Carlos was awesome as usual and then some!! The energy was all there for all the players. It was a treat to see Cindy Blackman come out and join the band on Corazon Espinado and then jam with Benny! I had missed Orianthi who played a couple of night before with them but the closing celebration made up for that. With the extended concert, confeti and balloons thrown down on the crowd also made it special. The band was handed pie's to throw at each other and at one point Carlos threw one out to the crowd. The only sad note to play is that Chester Thompson has either taken an extended vacation or has retired. Hopefully he will be back soon!! All around a classic show to remember for years to come!
Last show of Santana's run in Vegas. Awesome three hour show that included all the hits. The only negative I have was Santana voicing his political opinions during the show. I payed to hear his music not listen to his political viewas.
The mix was awful, the audio mixer should learn how to balance the music, was he even awake.I felt like going back to to board and give him a hand since I mix music for a living. Couldn't hear one of the singers(even when Carlos sang into his mic) and the other one was so distorted it hurt to listen to him(made him seem like a bad singer which he isn't). WHAT WAS THE FIRST SONG they played, was this to test out the amps and speakers. We enjoyed some of the orig. songs by Santana but thought they fell short on a few. We also thought that 4 drum solos were too much, how about only 2, came here to listen to the songs not just one band member.
Nothing short of stupendous. Carlos played almost three hours. Words can notdescribe how good he was.
This show was full of energy from start to finish. Everyone was standing up dancing for most of the night.
Carlos was amazing. So was his band. The guys doing the vocals could have been better but overall it is a great show. My kids in their 20's loved it and so did we. He is so genuine.
The concert was 100% better than expected. Fantastic
Awesome show, lots of music and lights and good vibrations, Latin flare with lots of guitar and percussion
I can't put into words how amazing Santana sounded, looked, felt! He was so full of energy, so was the whole night.
Carlos Santana was AMAZINGGGGGGG!!!!!! Everyone needs to see him in concert! This will not be my last.......
Santana and his band were in fine form Friday night at the Joint! His band is like a family (his wife played a MEAN drum solo!) and he gives the feeling of being at a gathering of family and friends. And to hear him play a couple of hard rock tunes (AC/DC and Cream) just blew me away, the icing on the cake!!
3 hours of dancing, singing and all-around LOVE FEST!!! Music was crisp and latin jazz beat was so so fun - impossible to stay in your chair. The soul cannot take in so much love and sit still when Santana is playing. BEST CONCERT I have ever been to!!!! Oh my god I hope Santana continues performing concerts for many more years to come.
After over 40 years of playing, one would suspect Carlos Santana and his gang would just phone it in, but the show we saw was aces from top to bottom. Santana himself is the cleanest player out there. Every note is crisp. He's a master at what he does and doesn't have to show off to prove how good he is. The show was, indeed, a journey through the hits. He served up every favorite of ours and then some. The show itself was over two hours long and worth every penny. His back up band is fantastic! This one was well worth the money.
This was one of the best concerts I have ever seen. First of all, the venue is perfect. Carlos was amazingly wonderful and he shared his love generously. I even enjoyed the pies in the faces, because it just looked like they were having fun. The best part though was the incredible music and the movies and pictures accompanying each song. Can't say enough. I will be back to this place.
I was lucky enough to see Santana 4 times at the Joint and always sat in the middle section within the first 5 rows. What a great venue. The show was incredible! Carlos was engaging, energetic, and looked so happy! and the Band awesome as always! I only sat down for one song! I hope there is a DVD of this show and I'm already dreaming he comes back to the Joint!
Love Carlos Santana. Had never seen him before LIVE! Gave audience three hours of entertainment that was filled with music from the past and present and highlighted the individual musicians who were fantastic. Santana was COOL and SMOOTH!!!!
A great musician and a fantastic guitar player. I totally enjoyed the show.
Started playing and 8:15 and finished just after 11. Remarkable talent, great sound, nice venue, well worth the price. Truly an artist that has gotten better with age....simply amazing. The band as a whole was very talented and seemed to have a great time.
