Disappointing, but not surprising
A hodgepodge collection of performances from Santana from throughout the years. Much of these videos I've seen before, and chances are if you're a fan of Santana, you've seen some of them too. The only difference is, the annoying commentary during songs. It's not that I don't enjoy listening to Carlos talk (he certainly has a way with words), but not in the middle of a song. I'd rather hear him play than talk. This occurs in just about every song. <

>The splicing of about a dozen different performances of Black Magic Woman was definitely bizarre and confusing to the viewer. I wasn't expecting much from this DVD (despite a fantastic track list, I was expecting disappointment) so I'm not too upset. But the commentary during songs irritates me to no end (take a look at my Allman Brothers Live at Great Woods review). I'm still waiting for a really good DVD of Santana performing some of these great songs.
