A moment over four decades in the making, this electrifying concert from April 16, 2016, captures the historic reunion of the classic Santana lineup at the PPL Center in Allentown, Pennsylvania. For the first time since the early 1970s, guitar legends Carlos Santana and Neal Schon shared the stage alongside original members Gregg Rolie, Michael Shrieve, and Michael Carabello. This performance was not just a nostalgic trip; it was a vibrant celebration marking the release of their reunion album, 'Santana IV,' which had dropped just the day before.
The energy in the arena is palpable as the band tears through a setlist that masterfully blends timeless classics with new material. Fans were treated to iconic hits like 'Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen' and 'Oye cómo va,' delivered with the same fire and passion that first defined their sound. Alongside these beloved anthems, the group showcased tracks from the new album, such as 'Anywhere You Want to Go' and 'Shake It,' proving that their creative chemistry remained as potent as ever. This concert is a powerful document of a legendary band reclaiming its legacy, a rare and triumphant gathering of rock and roll royalty.
