Concert Review: Santana

Carlos Santana wrapped up his 2008 'Live Your Light' tour in the San Francisco Bay Area on October 11th. He treated fans to a set filled with old and new favorites, and even a brand new song "Shape Shifter". Carlos' son's group, The Salvador Santana band opened the show and warmed up the crowd. As soon as Santana hit the stage, he wasted no time, opening up with the fan favorite "Jingo". Throughout the evening, Carlos spoke of the current economic crisis that is gripping the country. He told the hometown crowd not to 'buy-in' to the fear surrounding us, but fill their lives with love. His music seems to transcend all political and economic problems, and to truly take you somewhere else. Having seen Carlos live many time, it was a treat seeing some of the rarer choices of the even, such as when Tom Coster joined the band onstage for "Europa". I'm sure the 20,000 plus in attendance at the Shoreline Amphitheater would agree, no matter who is in office, Santana will always be there to get us through the tough times.
