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 parking was unacceptable. Hundreds of people missed the first act because parking was NOT available. We had to park a half mile away to not miss most of the concert. They over sold and it wasn't fair to those of us that bought early. Awful venue parking wise.
It took over 2hrs to get 3miles miss the first act.
This dude is the best of the best, didn't perform to the public because Santana was in tune with his musical group, that says a lot about the musician. One of a kind! *Santana if you are reading this, "THANK YOU FOR AN AMAZING SHOW"
Santana has NEVER disappointed me. Since I was 17, he was 22 years old in Woodstock. 53 years, seeing him over 15 times in that span of 53 years has always been fulfilling. I hope I see him at least one more time before neither of us can make it, lol!
One of the best concerts I've ever attended. Even though traffic is always bad, considering vast the number of people, I was able able to get out of the parking lot within an hour. So not bad.
I used to come to JL since way back when it was called Nissan Pavilion. There was ZERO traffic control to get into the venue, so we spent over an hour to drive 2 miles into the lot and missed the opening act. Totally unacceptable for a major venue.
Santana concert was absolutely spetacular. So happy to have had the opportunity to see this maestro play or rather make his guitar sing, cry, and move us!!! Truly magnificent...bravo!!!
Earth Wind and Fire and Santana haven’t lost an iota of their fire. One of the best concerts I’ve been to…. And I saw them at Woodstock.
Bought my ticket and waited 2yrs due to covid and 40yrs since I saw him perform and I couldn't go due to one of my children going to the hospital I cried all night as I listened to my favorite song SONG OF THE WIND 😪 I tried to sell my ticket and parking pass but no luck SO....I'm so hurt you can't even imagine 💔 and i couldn't even get my tee shirt I get one at every concert I attend I LOVE YOU CARLOS & EWF 4EVER YOUR BIGGEST FAN 💯❤Cassandra M
Santana was great as usual. Great guitar, drums, keyboards, horns and vocals.
Great concert .. the performance was outstanding Never disrespect nor disregard the legends.
It turned out to be a great night for an outdoor show, and my husband and I are so glad we went! Even though it was a last-minute decision, and we only bought gen'l admission lawn seats (which we never usually do), we purchased the tix that included a chair rental so we didn't have to sit on the ground. In addition to Santana, who were amazing as always, we also had the pleasure of enjoying Earth Wind & Fire in concert for the first time. After listening to their music for so many years, it was wonderful to experience their live show! They tour with very talented horn players.
Our first concert. It was fun. Easy in and easy out.
Santana was excellent as always. His band and singers were phenomenal. Finally his wife Cindy was the bomb.
The show was magnificent, Santana nor Earth Wind and Fire have ever failed. Only note is on the venue, the lawn is pretty dead and there were pieces of broken glass/plastic all over that hadn't been cleaned up from previous shows. Also it would be great if they instituted a policy where if a patron wanted to sit in a lawn chair, they should have to sit past a certain point further back on the hill since they're taller and they block the view of people sitting on blankets.
Neither Santana nor Earth Wind and Fire disappointed! I will prepay for parking next time because it was a hot mess
Both Earth, Wind and Fire and Santana were fantastic. The sound system was great so you could hear fine in the lawn seats. The monitors allowed the people in the lawn seat to see the stage and performers well. The only downfall, was the nightmare in parking. The lines, even early, were bumper to bumper and they charge $40 to park. That is outrageous. You also can't bring your own lawn chairs and have to rent them if you want to sit on a chair.
So much fun from beginning to end. Earth, Wind and Fire got the party started. Santana kept it going. Attended with my sisiters and girlfriend. We had a blast. I did not sit all night.
The concert was fabulous! The venue was excellent. Great place to see a show. The parking was terrible. We paid for VIP parking in advance and it took almost an hour to finally park. There were little to no directions posted. The staff was excellent in helping, but again the directions were terrible. It turned out the VIP parking was adjacent to the regular parking. They could have opened a barrier and had it attended versus sending everyone around the block to find the VIP parking.
1. The open air ampitheater was fantastic for this COVID-weary world. 2. The sound system needs work. Santana was too loud and the bass beat reverberated throughout the seats so it was impossible to get a release. Plus, all the songs were the same beat; there was hardly any variation in the music/songs chosen.
