This is one bad ass performance, for those who love this era of Santana. The band has moved into a very Jazz oriented music mode leaving, for the most part, the Latin Rock behind. The audience response is kind of a little laid back. The local news paper critics (remember those?) all were not impressed. This package must have been put together by Draftervoi (some of you will get the joke) because you get a few of these news articles included with the cover art. Obviously in hind sight the Jazz era of Santana is seen as just another phase of a Great Musicians musical journey...which continues o. If you haven't heard any of the soundboard releases from the Las Vegas Residency you need to seek them out. I have 3 but I do believe they are commercial releases so I can not share them here. Only a one word review needed AWESOME!! So find them.
