Product: Santana - Live by Request (2005)
Rating: 3.0
Needed/Wanted More.....
In general, I thought this concert venue and song selection "by request" was pretty good. Unlike some other reviewers, I loved seeing and hearing the band play "Evil Ways","Soul Sacrifice", "Adouma",and "Yaleo"..great arrangements.. I do agree that "Maria, Maria" is way too much about the Product G&B..they; are distracting, and usually their lead singer is slightly off-key.What I missed was the "extras" which you got a hint of when the show was broadcast on A&E...For; example, a great Blues/Rock Jam, started before the commercial, with CT( after FOO FOO), and ended after the commercial with Carlos and Chester really jamming!(you don't see that as often as we all would like). Why wasn't that on the DVD? On Carlos' website, it's actually listed on the track listing...what happened?Overall though, good music, great band..leaving us all with wanting more Santana, and only Santana,music.
