DVD : Supernatural Live |
- Santana is great, but DVD had problemsWife and I love Santana, so were very disappointed to find that the recording quality of this DVD was poor. Distorted picture and sound at times...maybe we just recieved a bad copy. I would recommend this IF the quality is just an isolated occurance, becuase the content was great.

- Wow - one of the best music dvd's ever made!I have many music dvd's and without a doubt, Santana's Supernatural DVD is a "must have". The sound is incredible and the camera on Carlos's 6 string shows his incredible talent. His band is exceptional. If you can sit through this DVD and not groove - your dead!

- One of the best.Santana has been one of my all time favorite concerts- they know how to put on a show and celebrate life and music. (Just like his live concerts - it unbelievable- the sound quality and perfection that Carlos and his band are able to achieve-Live). I expected all the great old songs and was surprised to hear some new and different and great guest collaborations. This is one that I watched again right away. I consider this a piece of musical history- so many great musicians in one place. My husband had not seen Santana before and was an immediate fan by the 2nd song. (and not just because of the showgirls)

- OK make that 3 1/2 ... It's CARLOS...!Carlos Santana isn't simply a musician. He's become more of a legend in the nearly 4 decades since he stepped onstage at Woodstock wearing a Jesus Christ "crown of thorns" tee shirt and played the living "you know what" out of that red Gibson SG.
Since then, Carlos has become the goodwill ambassador for alot of ideals and spirituality that, whether yer on his trip or not, represent all that is good, kind, generous and (dare I say it without making you hurl ) LOVING in the world today. So let's put everything into a slightly different perspective than a simple concert review. A Santana concert is a celebration of brotherhood and fraternity for people around the world.... Something that we could use alot more of these days. This concert certainly delivers a generous portion of just that.
Rarely is someone going to like all of the diverse guest performers in this concert. In fact, being an old geezer and retired pro musician myself, they aren't really my thing either.... So bloody what? Besides, Carlos and the producers of this concert were smart enough to give the younger crowd all these new stars and die hard old Santana fans plenty of the old numbers too. Pretty smart marketing, eh?
As always, the Santana Band delivers tight music, great arrangements,(for rock-n-roll anyway) killer percussion work and Carlos can still play the doggy dew out of a guitar.... Just like he always has. (.......and while I'm at it, I'd just like to remind all the music snobs who say "Old Carlos has lost his chops", let's see how well you still play guitar in your mid sixties)... So there.... ya cocky little dilettantes.
I haven't bothered to check out the price at which Amazon's dealers are selling this DVD. But hell, I'd pay ten bucks just to see that drop dead gorgeous PRS guitar that Carlos plays with the orange flame maple top. It's so brilliantly figured it looks like it's about catch fire.... just beautiful.
All in all this DVD is worth having. Perhaps for the Santana connoisseur this concert pales in comparison to Sacred Fire in Mexico.... But what the hell........ It's Carlos fricken Santana...!!
How bad could it possibly be....?
