Customer Reviews Santana at his best! It captures the mood and energy of seeing Santana live very well. This is a "must have" cd for any Santana fan. In fact, I would consider it the best live album I've ever heard. It's got the dialog (in spanish) between songs and at the beginning of the show. I find the words and music to be very inspiring. I could go on and on but to put it simply, this is one of my all time favorite cds. An amazing performance by an amazing band. Just buy it!! . By far his best This truly shows he is by far the greatest guitarist of all time. I have all the old vinyls and all the new cds, but non touch the live performance of Carlos on this album. Hendrix was great, but he's dead!. Oh yeah, and shame on anyone who doesn't aggree that Santana live is better than any studio recording. And if this his his best live album, then this is his best album of all. I highly recomend. This is comming from a Carlos fan who's been listening to him since the beginning. Trust me you won't be dissapointed. Good but not great The sound quality is first-rate. Sacred Fire: Santana Live in South America is a nice recording of an early 90's Santana concert. The musicians, while very good, are no match for the Santana band of the late 60's and early 70's. Of course, Carlos Santana's fiery guitar still has the power to carry the show. I didn't particularly care for a few of songs on this album (like Esperando and Make Someone Happy) but the renditions of their earlier works like "Black Magic Woman/Gypsy Queen" and "Toussaint L'Overture" are fantastic. Overall a rewarding musical experience but for the best live recording of a Santana performance I'll stick to "Lotus". .
