I am almost 70, loved this song when it first came out, and am singing along with it watching this video. Have always been a serious fan of Santana, and absolutely love Rob Thomas...
I had heard Matchbox 20 when this came out but never imagined Rob Thomas having that latin vibe (well bayou, but you get the point) to make the song work. This will always be a classic
Wow, thank you for your amazing comment, Teresa! It's fans like you who make all the hard work worth it. Your support means everything to me and I'm grateful for it every day.
Wow, thank you for your amazing comment, Lisabeth! It's fans like you who make all the hard work worth it. Your support means everything to me and I'm grateful for it every day.
I love the finale to this. The whole band jumps into unrestricted party mode, without walking all over each other's jams. Carlos' whole band is seriously tight.
Yes.....my deceased husband used to call me his "Spanish Harlem Senorita" while we danced in our kitchen. Miss my guy so much but will always love this mix.
I tried a little experiment today. I pulled up to the drive thru window for breakfast this morning with this song blasting and the girl at the window immediately smiled and started vibing. Made my day and I hope it made hers.
Been grooving with Santana since. the 70s, even had his poster on my bedroom wall. Now I am 85, had a Stroke but do my daily exercises to "Smooth" sure makes it easier. Keep going.
@@amartyasingh6295 Thank you for your good wishes and concern. Much appreciated. Just thought you would like to know, I am a female. Mother of 2, Grandmother of 5. Easy to be fooled with a name like Pat. Stay well.
Not the first not probably be the last re: my name. No problem I , like you, have 2 children and 5 Grandchildren. Sadly I lost my son my baby of 62 years last year of Cancer. Most difficult thing I have ever had to go through, but we match on. Hope u are in good health and have all the joy and happiness coming to you Thank you for your post. Deeply appreciated. Stay well
@@patsinasac2541 well, it amazes me, that I’m 20 and you are 85, and this artist delivered to both of us the same way. My 10 year old cousins love this song. Have a nice and healthy life.
Incredible! This is what happens when great musicians and singers are having fun! It’s like when an athlete talks about being “in the zone”. It’s magic.
Carlos and Rob are powerful kindred spirits during this 25 year old performance. As of 2024, Carlos is 77 and Rob 52. They gave us an ageless musical gift: SMOOTH ~ pure cosmic energy.
What a combination of raspy voice and pure gold flowing from Santana's guitar. I hear that when Santana plays in Southern California that the Latino crowd shows him the respect reserved for Quetzalcoatl by the Aztec. Love this song. Such good musicality and great lyrics. Rob you were superb with Carlos.
Wow, thank you for your amazing comment, Sue! It's fans like you who make all the hard work worth it. Your support means everything to me and I'm grateful for it every day.
How could anyone not be a Santana fan after hearing this! Greatest guitarist ever. Knopfler, Hendrix, and Clapton have to look up to this guy! And he is timeless! He did Woodstock and he Still is Performing!! Old guys rule! 🤘
Saw Santana at Woodstock in 1969. He blew me and about a million others away that day. Saw him again two or three years ago in Michigan. The man still cooks after all these years!
Wow, thank you for your amazing comment, Teresa! It's fans like you who make all the hard work worth it. Your support means everything to me and I'm grateful for it every day.
Teresa; I'm 73 years old and have CS's 1st 3 releases on vinyl. And he has not lost any of his creativity and prowess on the guitar. Unfortunately, I was in the service during his early tours and missed his performances in Pittsburgh, PA. However, my buddy told me about his performances, and he dug out a VCR tape and threw it in for a bunch of our friends, and we blazed and watched live performances with his TV hooked up to his Sansui quad system. Great shows and sounds, anyway, take care and be safe young lady✌️
@CarlosSantanaaaa I just finished sending a reply to Teresa. I'm 73 and have your 1st 3 releases on vinyl and told her that I missed your early Pittsburgh PA shows while in the service. A friend of mine tried to explain how great your performances were and couldn't. So a few of our friends got together and he dug out a VCR tape of some of your live music. And he played the audio through his Sansui quad system as we blazed✌️take care and be safe young man👍
The energy of this live performance is incredible. Every performer is outstanding, and outstanding together. The drums, percussion, horns, Carlos Santana’s incredible guitar, Rob and back up singers, bass, everything. (Great cha-cha dance song.) If you’re tired, this song will wake you right up. At Thanksgiving 1999, when this song came on, my high school age niece and I spontaneously broke out into the chorus, complete with Santana air guitar.
Santana Conga player Raul Rekow would have turned 68. 06-10-54 San Francisco -🙏 11-01-15 San Francisco. He was with Santana 36 years.He was also in the band Malo. His musical presence is still here and he is missed by so many longtime Santana fans.
63 year old Texan...when I see a blending of cultures like this, ahhhh, takes me home! Thank you Carlos, thank you Rob! Your music is sweet, and it heals the heart, cause it joins us together in its rhythm! Enjoy the vibe my friends....peace and love.
We were lucky enough to see Carlos Santana in the '70s at Durham North Carolina. He stayed for three plus hours. On the stage One of the top concerts of all times. Thanks
@Miguel_2112 one time on q flatbed trailer. Pretty sure it was 420 Pueblo Colorado . Liberation Celebration. Tommy Chong. 0 .19 USD. VETERAN'S daily special . YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE THERE.
It’s true. The music itself makes your body and mind resonate. It gives an intense feeling of well-being. Or maybe it’s because Carlos Santana reminds me of childhood.
On the other hand, listen to Santana’s performance of Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock, where he dropped acid thinking he wasn’t going on stage for another eight hours. The promoters then told him that his band had to go on immediately or lose the gig. Can’t say LSD helped, but it sure didn’t hurt.
Wow, thank you for your amazing comment, Linda! It's fans like you who make all the hard work worth it. Your support means everything to me and I'm grateful for it every day.

Carlos Santana is one of our historically great guitar players. Amazing! Rob Thomas is amazing and the passion in this song makes you just want to smile and dance!!
I remember when i first heard this song, i was driving and had to pull into a parking lot to hear the rest of it... i was blown away... had to go by the CD and was NOT disappointed - every song was AMAZING !!!!
That crowd is grooving, Santana Murdering the Guitar and Rob on the pipes. Absolutely killing that stage. What a performance. And imagine how they feel. Fucking amazing.
Thanks for your sincere comments and love. I'm not complete without you as my 🎶fan, I have you to be most thankful for and I hope you never stop following my career?
This song is sheer perfection, in every way, the guitar, percussion, keyboards, lyrics, vocals. I particularly love how three different rhythms are overlaid on top of one another & yet it works perfectly. Very complex song.

@@MichaelGiordano777 Yes it is bro, the Latin rhythms is very contagious and complicated too, but mixes and playing different musicals instruments making a party of sounds that make happy to everybody.
I remember how popular this was when i was a kid. Every store was playing this and you would hear it all the time on the radio. So thankful I was born in ‘92.
Carlos, you still amaze me! I'm dancing to your music at 66. Rob Thomas' intense voice makes this song so strong, I'm gonna melt! Play that guitar, Carlos, don't ever stop making us as happy as you are on this video!
What, Carlos underrated, are you kidding me. He's been a legend for 50 years. Back in 1970 he was already a guitar god. Eric Clapton said Carlos plays like the rest of us breathe. Man was this song named right, Carlos guitar is as smooth as it gets on this one.
Underrated for sure. I remember watching this back in the day. My music heros and legends. Back in the day in NY this was a every week thing with the greatest in my opinion.

CARINISSIMA , PER DAVVERO !!!!! Carlos sappiam chi e' , mai si smentisce , immenso , e quel giovinotto ha cantato bene sul serio . Brano gradevolissimo tornato di recente alla ribalta !
Two stars sharing the stage at the same time. Carlos Santana is the GOAT. He's literally making that guitar sing. You are looking at a live legend, enjoy him while he's still here.✌️
@@nylanelson8660I don't think you know what being called a GOAT means. It is the highest compliment meaning - greatest of all time! G O A T. I hope you understand now. I love Carlos Santana and his style
@@FrankRomero-n9s , I just Googled it as goat acronym means. In some Spanish languages like Brazil for example it is the Worst Insult you can give someone
@@nylanelson8660 but this is why it's all capital letters and capital letters are abbreviation for a word so there's no comparison if you are still trying to justify your first response. You do understand now don't you?
@@FrankRomero-n9s , usually when people are yelling at someone through text to make a point they Capitalized letters which is what I thought you were doing. Santana is an Amazing artist & I was trying to understand why you called him a goat which can mean different things to different cultures, etc. Yes you have explained & I understand now 🤣
Crazy to realize this song turns 20 this year. One of my absolute favorite songs ever. Never will I tire of it. Just amazing how much talent came together such a perfect beautiful song.
I was there with you at Woodstock and I'm with you now brother. I thought for sure you were gonna blow it. I think that day the acid made you a superstar. May the music never be forgotten. Peace.
Not much chance of that happening fellow Canadian. I'm a young lady of 85. No doubt be listening to your music till I can no longer do so. Love pretty much all music but "Smooth" has to be one of the best I've ever heard. Thank you.

@@jsuriel55 For sure. One of the musical Gods of the 60's.Still a great Musician and performer. Am going to see him in August, in Toronto. On top of his great musical talent he is a genuine, down to earth, good guy. I can't wait to see him in August. Go Well!

@@maryalicekelly8814 .. I highly recommend you watch and listen to Corazon Espinado. Even though it's in Spanish with Mexican band Mana, it's a masterpiece.
I love this song 🎵 ❤️, and it sounds phenomenal live. Santana, latin cool and Rob Thomas ,cool swag. They should most definitely collaborate again. That's what you get when you put these 2 musicians together, it's so freaking "Smooth".
love the extended live version....first listened to this song on the radio when i was about 16, 22 years later and it still gives me that feeling of joy!
![Santana IV - Black Magic Woman [2016]](/img/n.gif)
I am almost 70, loved this song when it first came out, and am singing along with it watching this video. Have always been a serious fan of Santana, and absolutely love Rob Thomas...
Yeah I love the song

This collaboration was magic! Rob totally in the sway and heart of Carlos’s vibe…. Still get chills hearing this years later!
I had heard Matchbox 20 when this came out but never imagined Rob Thomas having that latin vibe (well bayou, but you get the point) to make the song work. This will always be a classic
@@stereomoisRob has been long married to a gorgeous Latin woman.
❤
Carlos at a concert I saw in Michigan said Rob came to record and sang one take and this is it. Perfect out of the box.
Shades of Eric Burton with war...
2 guys just making beautiful music together....does it get any better??
There where more than 2 guys... It was magic....
OMG Brilliant!!!!! I danced a slow chacha w my broinlaw at my wedding. Santana rules man, since i first bought ABRAXAS
Seriously, one of the most perfect songs ever made. No matter what kinda music your into, everyone vibes with this song. It’s timeless.

Latina music is. The music ever played❤🎉😊
24 years ago, this is ageless
Amazing ❤❤❤❤❤🎉
Lucky to live when Renaissance began 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Indeed!
Hard to stand still once you hear this song. Santana rocks.
No one could sing this song better than Rob Thomas. It was made for him. Perfect marriage of talent on every level.
Rob wrote the song
I would like a young Tom Jones to have a go at this one ❤
@@Stumpybear7640 I'd like to hear that myself.
@danachristinebagares8322 I didn't know that- makes the tune more outstanding in my mind.
I agree one of my favorites I'm 65 remember when it came out big hit also likee slide by the goo goo dolls
This song is timeless. The great Carlos Santana with Rob Thomas. Magical pairing of musicians.

Carlos Santana never fails. Rob Thomas is hot as hell. What a dual.

Rob Thomas has a very unique style and voice. And With Santana it’s pure magic.
I love the finale to this. The whole band jumps into unrestricted party mode, without walking all over each other's jams. Carlos' whole band is seriously tight.
Racoons and forget about it😊
Santana is one the most talented of our generation. Rob Thomas can sing and I heard he met and married one of dancers. How could you not LOl
The hug !
i LOVE ROB'S PANTS
Love Santa - have for 30 years or more...
What a great musician..one of the finest guitar players ever!!!
I have loved that song since it came out. Both Carlos Santana and Rob Thomas knocked it out of the park!
If I was 29 years younger, I would give Rob Thomas more than half an hour of my time. 😝
@@dianawilliams4319 He gets better looking every year!
absolutely!!!
100 % ❤
Yes.....my deceased husband used to call me his "Spanish Harlem Senorita" while we danced in our kitchen. Miss my guy so much but will always love this mix.
I tried a little experiment today. I pulled up to the drive thru window for breakfast this morning with this song blasting and the girl at the window immediately smiled and started vibing. Made my day and I hope it made hers.
Been grooving with Santana since. the 70s, even had his poster on my bedroom wall. Now I am 85, had a Stroke but do my daily exercises to "Smooth" sure makes it easier. Keep going.

That is great I am 73 and still lovin Satanna saw him in san francisco in 1979 lots of great energy
Carlos Santana is one of the best guitarists in the history of music, PERIOD !
Cannot argue with that 👍
John Frusciante is another :)
I could agree more sir 👍👏
Without question. One of the more unique guitar sounds out there. He's phenomenal here.
TRUTH!!!
Incredible! This is what happens when great musicians and singers are having fun! It’s like when an athlete talks about being “in the zone”. It’s magic.
Absolutely
Carlos and Rob are powerful kindred spirits during this 25 year old performance. As of 2024, Carlos is 77 and Rob 52. They gave us an ageless musical gift: SMOOTH ~ pure cosmic energy.
What a combination of raspy voice and pure gold flowing from Santana's guitar. I hear that when Santana plays in Southern California that the Latino crowd shows him the respect reserved for Quetzalcoatl by the Aztec. Love this song. Such good musicality and great lyrics. Rob you were superb with Carlos.
Props to Rob Thomas for still nailing the vocals from another planet.
have you ever heard about "Ronnie James Dio" ?
That's what I call real jam. I'm 62, and friend of Nazareth's drummer. A musician myself. That's JAM.,.
Absolutely Awesome. Santana and Thomas made for each other.
@@HellBrYnger I think they’re saying he was fucked up pretty badly during the performance. No one is comparing him to a metal god like Dio😂

How could anyone not be a Santana fan after hearing this! Greatest guitarist ever. Knopfler, Hendrix, and Clapton have to look up to this guy! And he is timeless! He did Woodstock and he Still is Performing!! Old guys rule! 🤘
Got it …G
Carlos doesn't play the guitar, he Is the guitar!❤
Well said.. that's how the great ones are - seems like the guitar is an extension of their being..
Absolutely! The song is one of the best ever written. Robs voice is perfect.. And Carlos? A Master!
Hook up with Stevie wonder Crew
This is by far the best version of this song. Carlos you and Rob nailed it!
I happen to agree with You 🙂 🎶🎵🎶
🔥🔥🔥
Yes, it is!
I think I like this song better today than I did when it came out. The void of quality music today makes you really appreciate this kind of talent.
It's kind of like looking at the Mona Lisa next to a Hunter Biden painting lol
Seriously
They set the bar high for others, Carlos is bad to the bone!

24 years later and I’ve been listening to this song for the fifth time today ! Absolutely golden
The energy of this live performance is incredible. Every performer is outstanding, and outstanding together. The drums, percussion, horns, Carlos Santana’s incredible guitar, Rob and back up singers, bass, everything. (Great cha-cha dance song.) If you’re tired, this song will wake you right up.

makes it a lot better though

In these times, I circle back to this song more and more. It never fails to lift my spirits and just helps so much to keep going!
the WHOLE band is going off in this live version, absolute spectacle
2023 and still sic. Weird but I always feel privileged in the presence of Carlos Santana 🔥

Hell yeah
Yes, phenomenal talent.
Wow! I feel so lucky to have witnessed the best era of musicians! Incredible the talent that was out there then! Santana is a legend!
One of the best songs released in the last 20 years.
so true ✌
+Mitch Farkas not best song, but best live performance for sure
+Mitch Farkas I read "Madonna" first - I always had problem with this :)
I don't know of "ANY" good songs in the last 10 years.
Jerry Collins you're not looking in the right places
Are you kidding me, Santana and Rob Thomas. A match made in heaven. So great!!!
Love that Carlos jams with so many different musicians and singers!!!
❤Thanks for your sincere comments and love. I'm not complete without you as my 🎶fan, I have you to be most thankful for and I hope you never stop following my career?
CARINISSIMA , PER DAVVERO !!!!! Carlos sappiam chi e' , mai si smentisce , immenso , e quel giovinotto ha cantato bene sul serio . Brano gradevolissimo tornato di recente alla ribalta !
Two stars sharing the stage at the same time. Carlos Santana is the GOAT. He's literally making that guitar sing. You are looking at a live legend, enjoy him while he's still here.✌️
Calling him a goat is an insult
@@nylanelson8660I don't think you know what being called a GOAT means. It is the highest compliment meaning - greatest of all time! G O A T. I hope you understand now. I love Carlos Santana and his style
@@FrankRomero-n9s , I just Googled it as goat acronym means. In some Spanish languages like Brazil for example it is the Worst Insult you can give someone
@@nylanelson8660 but this is why it's all capital letters and capital letters are abbreviation for a word so there's no comparison if you are still trying to justify your first response. You do understand now don't you?
@@FrankRomero-n9s , usually when people are yelling at someone through text to make a point they Capitalized letters which is what I thought you were doing. Santana is an Amazing artist & I was trying to understand why you called him a goat which can mean different things to different cultures, etc. Yes you have explained & I understand now 🤣
Crazy to realize this song turns 20 this year. One of my absolute favorite songs ever. Never will I tire of it. Just amazing how much talent came together such a perfect beautiful song.
Darcy George this song makes me filled with emotion every time ! It makes me cry for the good old days!
One of the best "live" performances I have ever seen! Carlos was at his amazing best! Rob Thomas too! Carlos knows how to rock a place!
I’m so jealous!
I was there with you at Woodstock and I'm with you now brother. I thought for sure you were gonna blow it. I think that day the acid made you a superstar. May the music never be forgotten. Peace.
Dear God, I could listen to Carlos Santana all day (and night).
After 15 yrs still smooth as smooth as it can be...love this song!!
Only word to describe this performance is 'perfect'
November 2024 anyone?
Oh yeah!!!
I'm right here with ya man!
Yep
Final is the Best 🔥
I'm right here with you! This is still a badass song.
No one makes a guitar sing quite like Carlos Santana.
Van halen
@@vincesimione974 nope
@@vancabrera8833 Si

Eric Clapton, anyone?
This song still hits the way it did at the turn of the century. Takes me back to better times.
This is one of the most perfect songs ever made. It was a fucking masterpiece. Robs voice and Santana's guitar playing. PERFECTION!!
Not much chance of that happening fellow Canadian. I'm a young lady of 85. No doubt be listening to your music till I can no longer do so. Love pretty much all music but "Smooth" has to be one of the best I've ever heard. Thank you.
I agree. I just love Rob and Santana.
@@patsinasac2541 it keeps us going eh Pat?
@@catewalton6204 sure does. Old bones be useless if I ever stopped.
@@patsinasac2541 yes Pat, daily living room dancing keeps me sane. 🤣
Carlos Santana is such an awesome guitarist... The best!
This song still gives me shivers...hmm...Rob's vocals and Santana's guitar and, in this case, also the live percussionist etc...wow!!!!
You and me both 👍🏾🌻
Thats a BIG AMEN SISTER IN ROCK
Gets better and better each time I listen!
Have to listen to this at least twice a week , have it in my faves ❤️❤️❤️
Exactly!!! 💕
I will never ever get tired of this song
Lovely ❤

Hello Angela!
How're you doing?
Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Your fan love for me warms my heart, Thank you!
Love, CARLOS SANTANA
What happens with this amazing singer?
The 60's, 70's were phenomenal with great music, people just enjoying each other and life in general. Wish we could have all that now.
True but Rob Thomas became famous in the 90s. It only seems like a long time ago.
Unbelievable.carlos and rob blend so great together.doesnt matter how old you are.it will always be great.
people are dancing... the band including Santana himself is playing so well and happily on the stage.. absolute beauty!
Yes..without holding any phone on their hand..
All the love 💕 Santana has always spread the love and the groove
And the most important is nobody filmed with a fcking phone

Carlos Santana….. excellence, impeccability, and wholeness all wrapped up ina beautiful package,
Tied up to perfection with”Rob Thomas”.
Rob Thomas just nails this!
True story one hat on used be in paper lace
🔥 🔥 🔥
Yup…Rob Thomas’ vocal just make this song so attractive !! I could watch and listen again and again tirelessly❤❤❤❤❤
He is such a good live singer!! Killer vocals 🤘
What an amazing treat to see them perform THAT song together. FABULOUS!
That crowd is actually a total vibe. They are all just vibing without caring how they look.
Amazing
Vibing? Is that modern for having a good time?
Not a cellphone in sight
That’s how we did sh#%t in the 80’s,and especially the 90’s. Life was great!
@@mike2462 yeah
Carlos makes that guitar SING ! Awesomeness
Thank you, Isabella! I'm honored that my music has touched you in some way. Keep on sharing the love and spreading good vibes!
Two epic performers that are unparalleled on sooo many levels!!! I could watch this thousands of times and never tire of it! Much respect to both!
Hello You seem so amazing thanks for being a friend here on TH-cam. I was actually so amazed to see your profile photo, you remind me of an old friend. Normally, I don't text on TH-cam though it's my official TH-cam for chatting. How're you? And hope you're enjoying your day.
@@CarlosSantana-zc7hy I am doing well and enjoying your beautiful music. Smooth with Rob Thomas is one of my personal favorites of yours, though I have many! Your music sounds incredible on our Bose :-))
@@joycedickens8321 Thanks so much for your love and support from onset, it's a thing of joy that am blessed with the best fans, thank you so much, I do appreciate you and everyone out there.
@Rob Thomas Music Lovers LOL, No chance of that Rob; you both have a warm spot in my HeArt!!!
It's been 6 months since i watched this. I am 73 years young and love this.
Live to the fullest maam!
Yes I'm with you!
I despise you
You do not know me. How can you despise one you do not know?
@@maryalicekelly8814 .. I highly recommend you watch and listen to Corazon Espinado. Even though it's in Spanish with Mexican band Mana, it's a masterpiece.
I had always like how both Carlos and Rob can mix their music so good. Rob has a unique voice.
I love this song 🎵 ❤️, and it sounds phenomenal live. Santana, latin cool and Rob Thomas ,cool swag. They should most definitely collaborate again. That's what you get when you put these 2 musicians together, it's so freaking "Smooth".
I just turned 75 and I still Love Santana!!! Rob Thomas is great too ! That was so good! Got these old to movin!
I still think this is one of the best music collaborations ever , EVER Rob Thomas....amazing writing wow wow wow Santana this never gets old!!!
love the extended live version....first listened to this song on the radio when i was about 16, 22 years later and it still gives me that feeling of joy!
its hard to believe its been that long, my god where did the time go?
Santana’s guitar could be recognized in any song, this is a rare trait.
