SANTANA – LIVE BY REQUEST (DVD)

Even though Santana had been famous for his live shows since his performance at Woodstock, this 1977 album was his first live release (be it interspersed with a number of studio recordings). It showcases the best of Santana in the mid-seventies: the Latin infused Blues/Rock, the spiritual Jazz Fusion, the unstoppable energy of Santana on stage. A cover version of the mid-60s song “She’s Not There” by The Zombies was released as a single and it became Santana’s first top-40 hit in over five years
