The song was written by Tito Puente. The shock for me was hearing Tito Puente perform it and noticing how similar they actually are. Santana just took the song did a great performance.
The first concert I ever went to (with my Dad) was a double bill of Chicago and Santana. Santana was the "warm up band" that nobody had heard of at that time but they blew the roof off of the place.
My *most recent* concert was Santana with the Doobie Brothers and even though they're all older it was still amazing. And even though I usually am not that big on the musicians talking much at shows (I know, I'm weird), Santana is just another breed man. That dude has so much wisdom and I loved listening to him just talk about life and going through things. He's not bad at playing music either haha.
Santana is my paisano. He was born in the same town in Jalisco, Mexico: Autlán. Thanks Jamal, for having an open mind and enjoying music from all over the world. I love your channel, bro. You’re awesome!
Santana says he’s not from Mexico. He’s a citizen of the World. He doesn’t need country boundaries to define him. He would definitely himself as a “Paisano” of the world. Paisano means neighbor or friend.
you should think of Brownsville Station Brownsville Station they got a song that's called The Martian Boogie. Martian cigarettes their deeds I'm think I'm going to go on over to each myself all right
I follow several reaction channels and Santana doesn't get anywhere near the exposure as he deserves. He's got a HUGE catalog and is an absolute icon in the world🌏❗😎
The music makes your soul dance. There is something about the salsa beat that is so life affirming. Thanks for playing this. You may be interested in checking out The Buena Vista Social Club. They are Cuban gold.
1991 - saw him in concert with Steve Winwood. My fiance (now husband) is lucky I didn't leave him right then and there. " When are they gonna play something good?" (He knows better now!!)
RIP Raul Rekow, a sweet soul, a humble man, a monster conga virtuoso, an amazing singer, an awesome human being. Thanks, Jamal, for reminding us of this 1992/93 performance of this Santana line up in Mexico. Awesome Soul Sacrifice tour.
I've seen him live three times, every show was spectacular! hope to see him again. He did a version of "Tequila" with lyrics in Spanish, there's nothing like being part of 10,000 people yelling "Tequila" at the same time.
I've seen him three times too. When I saw him in 1981 the entire audience (maybe 16,000 people) was up dancing and singing from about the second song all the way through the encores. One of the most memorable concerts I've ever seen, and I've seen a few. Genius songwriting, genius lead guitar and genius musicians (especially the percussion). What more can you ask for?
Ive seen him 2x, the first time with the original band. 😎👍 The second time, he was touring with BB King! It was one of two GOAT concerts out of the many I've attended. Second was Allman Bros with Duane. That concert was 🔥! 👊😎 *@Jamel* There's never enough Santana .. and your reactions are the best out there. Thanx!

@@carlosvazquez7437 Wow dude, you took a totally misunderstood comment on your part and ran with it, didn't ya hun? smh lol I was pointing out the obvious for fun. Shoot I was stoned back then too. Kay? You're forgiven. 😉
A little FYI, the other guitarist with the red pants is his brother George Santana, ( R.I.P. ) an exceptional guitarist himself, also the man on the key boards is Chester Thompson of Tower of Power fame. He played for ten years with Tower of Power, and then joined Santana for about 26 years
in 1976 our High School Spanish Class had audio record and playback to learn the language. The teacher had to leave the room unexpectedly, she didn't return for quite some time & the students were getting restless. I popped-in Santana's Oye Como Va cassette and Turned It UP! We were boogy'ing 'till the bell rang!!
I had the pleasure of attending two Santana concerts. 1979 in Hollywood, Florida, and 1981 in Anaheim, California. Love the Cuban percussionists that played with Santana. 🇺🇸😊🇨🇺
Did you see Santana at the Hollywood Sportatorium? I saw him there, for the first time, right after Abraxas was released. You could barely see the stage because the pot smoke was so heavy; it was like the movie Casablanca. I didn't care; Carlos Santana was my hero, the music was phenomenal, & I had a blast.
I met Carlos on Kapiolani Blvd. in Waikiki when I was stationed at Pearl Harbor. He was checking out, and helping, a street artist painting with spray aresol on poster board. Always into arts and the spirit of giving back....Senor Carlos!
Part of what makes your channel great is your musicality. Like when you picked up how they quoted “owner of a lonely heart” for a few seconds there. It really makes me feel like we are sharing the music together.
I love Carlos Santana and his music and have since Woodstock. He is a gentleman and a great humanitarian. Thank you God for his music and genorosity if spirit
Yes I was at a Santana concert... live! ...in my youth...15 times over the years....even have one of my favorite pictures... me meeting him having a moment one on one and getting his autograph....my boyhood hero.
One of my favorites from Santana is "Dance, Sister, Dance". That's one song that shows the talent of the entire band. Journey btw was a Santana spinoff.
Jamel, Perhaps You know this Tune, was originally done by Tito Puente, a famous Percussionist & Musician in, the Latin Scene. Plus the Lyrics in this quasi - medley - "I'll Never Go Back to Georgia", was from another Latin Artist - Joe Cuba's "El Pito". Anyway, Everyone was happy. As it extended the popularity of those tunes & Latin Music, in general. Besides, it proved to be a Profitable Payday, for all concerned. ;-)
My dad’s from DR and Tito was always part of his party collection playlist, and boy did we have parties. As a kid, we would look out our bedroom windows and watch everyone dancing in the backyard . Such great memories.
Santana "Abraxas" was the first album I bought with my own money. I was 9yrs old. The diversity of music I was drawn too..all very instrumentals. Hence my love of progressive music. When I look back now. I started real young.
Apparently this was already a classic Latin song long before this band recorded it. Never knew that previously. LOVE Carlos Santana! He's one of those guitar gods! Your reaction shows that you dig REAL music. The appreciation is appreciated.
Live in Latin America. One of Carlos’ greatest bands ever. Including Jorge Santana brother of Carlos who passed on last year. Thank you Carlos and Jamel. Alex Ligertwood from Scotland on vocals and Tony Lindsay also on vocals. What a great band.
It's cool that you caught "Owner of a lonely heart." Carlos is always doing little quotes of all kinds of songs. It's like a game trying to name all the songs he quotes in a single solo.
Love your reactions! You are appreciating and feeling this song with your whole body! I was fortunate to see Santana twice. I haven’t been to many concerts. I don’t know why but I’ve seen him twice. So fun!! Thanks for bringing back great memories!!
Lived near Shoreline Amphitheater and went to almost every Santana concert. Everybody was out of their seats dancing. It was an electric experience. I was at this concert and love to see and experience again and again with the video. My favorite all these years. Santana fan forever!!!!
I love how Santana is a mentor for upcoming artists as well. He played a show at The House of Blues and had Seal join him and this 10 year old guitar prodigy named Taj Farrant. It was great to see. I have seen Santana live and it's a fantastic experience. A terrific artists.
Its amazing how so many talented , how do they all play it so tight , the 70s were the best , im honored to have grown up in that era , blessed be 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Saw Santana play several times over the last several decades. Always an amazing show. Thanks for this Jamal - it brings back so many great memories. It is the kind of show where you never sit the whole time - you just dance!
I saw Santana perform at the soccer field at Humboldt State when I was 17. Very few top level acts bother to to come to Humboldt County and I appreciated the hell out of them for coming. As a budding electric guitar player at the time, he blew my socks off. Soooo good.
My absolute favorite Santana song!! I always thought the studio version was way too short because I got into it so much. Thanks Jamel, for doing the live version! It was a great ride! I’ve never heard this version before because unfortunately for me I’ve never had the privilege to see Santana live. THIS WAS GREAT! I’m going to TH-cam the crap out of this and play it over and over! Impossible to get tired of Carlos Santana! Try out the live Woodstock version of Soul Sacrifice. Before many knew who Santana even was! It made him a household name and I think he was only 19 at the time! EFFING AMAZING!! Much love Jamel. Sub since day one ☝️ Thanks for helping keep great music ALIVE!!👍🤜🏾🤛🏾✌️
Seen him many times. During the 80s he played a "Rock the Vote" show, if you registered or had voter id it was free admission, he played 3 and 1/2 hrs, non stop. He makes that guitar speak and in my opinion there is no greater guitarist. He's a darn good human as well. Love the never go back to Georgia story.
Jamal There's a great song from Santana's brother, the name of the band is called Malo the song "suavecito", it is a very chill song loved by all the old-school low Rider Chicano's
This version smokes the original studio recording! The audience brings out the best in the talented musicians! The Hammond B3 organ and Carlos Santana's guitar, great combo!
absolutely love what u do. Don't know how to describe this group, but as a Cherokee woman, hard core backpacker, woodswoman, back in the "70s hippie, hanging in with the guys driving off-road when people didn't know what that was, there was a rough sounding group "Black Oak Arkansas" with the song "Gravel Roads", which was right up our alley. They had some other ones we id'd with, but that was a great one for us. Keep up with the meaning of your shirt - it's beautiful. Thx for all you do!
💥Saw them on a double bill with the Funkadelics in 1978. The place was literally jumping! I swear Santana must have been 25 ppl on the stage. And that was when the Funkadelics had the space ship.
I saw Santana at the 94.1 WYSP Be-In back in the early 90s. They played at Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. Tie died shirts, weed, beer, and great music. It was an outdoor concert and it rained that day. The percussionist started playing the bongos in the rain and the rain was bouncing off the drums as he played. It was fantastic!
I’ve seen Carlos/Santana twice and all I can say is “WOWSER”🎉✨🎉 No sitting down while they’re playing. While Carlos is strumming it’s as if heaven comes down and brings you a sound like no other
I wasn't at that concert, but I've seen Santana live. A concert in Las Vegas was maybe the best concert I've ever seen! Yes the music talks!!! Love you, Jamel.
OMG I was a kid and I remember this song was ALL OVER my neighborhood. I remember the lowriders cruising on the Blvd playing this song and I COULDN'T WAIT to grow up and drive my own lowrider. I thought those guys were SO COOL and this song is FOREVER a part of my soul.
Love your Chanel. I honestly feel that people are connected to each other through music. It breaks all boundaries and crosses all cultures and makes all of us one big musical family. Keep spreading the love my friend.
I've worn out a couple of copies of Abraxas, bought all their LPs back then (including the doubles and triples) seen e'm at their best in the late 70s; This was new to me and pretty glorious too.
Viva SANTANA......Latino love 💯. He is a master but so so humble. Love him grew up with my mom dancing around the house with this song cooking yucca rice black beans tortillas and meat stewing in the big pots for whoever and I mean whoever stopped over. It was anyone she fed everyone mailmen to the men who were shutting off the water so they left it on and all I remember is my mom's beauty wow what beauty and my dad is Italian and he had a Latin beauty who dressed cooked and danced for him daily. They are still together 50 something years later and despite her beginnings of dementia she still does the same she hears this song and says where's my "MAKE-UP BAG". Santana made my mama feel energetic and wanted to move. Thanks for reacting to this J.

Man that was excellent. When I hear Carlos Santana play it reminds me of summer. This is a great lick.
The song was written by Tito Puente. The shock for me was hearing Tito Puente perform it and noticing how similar they actually are. Santana just took the song did a great performance.
I know Santana since 1970 , now 51 years later you react to this wonderful Latin Rockmusic, this music never loose the magic.
Santana is always a thumbs up ! 👍

Santana was my very first concert, with school at the age of 16. Saw them in Mannheim 1983, Germany, Havannah Moon, impressed for live.

Pretty good documentary about them as well by the same name.
Oh yeah seen them before on TH-cam
Headed there now, thanks for the suggestion! Always looking for some new Latin music.
Killer players!!!! So good

Santana, Cheech & Chong, and Pee Wee Herman should be brought together to do this song!
I wasn’t THERE but I did see Santana at the Fillmore in SF. Stood about 10 ft from the man. I was hypnotized
Their sounds seems to be timeless. I still enjoy it.
Absolutely !
Amen 💃🏽🕺🏼💃🏽🕺🏼

I saw Santana and Fleetwood Mac (and loads of other bands) at a mega concert in Sydney in the 70s. Amazing!
Would've been cool if Peter Green joined Santana onstage for Black Magic Woman, since he wrote it.
Apparently this was already a classic Latin song long before this band recorded it. Never knew that previously. LOVE Carlos Santana! He's one of those guitar gods! Your reaction shows that you dig REAL music. The appreciation is appreciated.
Yes, written by the king, Tito Puente. There are multiple videos on youtube with Tito on stage with Santana, playing this very song together.
@@rmbjr60 Tito, eh? Of course! Thanks 4 the tip.
Such happy music; from Woodstock era to the present.
Saw him in Houston, TX in I think 1979. It was one of the best I've seen. He's amazing. Thank you for the memories.
NO! You didn't! We have ARRIVED. This song says "Santana" more than any of their other hits.
Let the music play!
Live in Latin America. One of Carlos’ greatest bands ever. Including Jorge Santana brother of Carlos who passed on last year. Thank you Carlos and Jamel. Alex Ligertwood from Scotland on vocals and Tony Lindsay also on vocals. What a great band.
The man is a musical living legend!
I watched his Congo player go the Entire Two and a half hour concert.....never stopped!!!!
Love it when you play the music of my youth. Nothing better to my ears!
Love that you picked out YES in the middle there dude, hahahah that rocks.
Say hey Jamel. I saw Santana numerous times back in the day and they were smokin' hot every time I saw them, NEVER disappointing!
It's cool that you caught "Owner of a lonely heart." Carlos is always doing little quotes of all kinds of songs. It's like a game trying to name all the songs he quotes in a single solo.
I have said this several times already, but I've seen them in concert at least twice before. One of the few that I would see again and again
Abraxas is w/out a doubt one of my all time favorite albums from start to finish.
Love your reactions! You are appreciating and feeling this song with your whole body! I was fortunate to see Santana twice. I haven’t been to many concerts. I don’t know why but I’ve seen him twice. So fun!! Thanks for bringing back great memories!!
I saw Santana back in the mid 90s and hands down one of the best concerts I've ever been to.
Lived near Shoreline Amphitheater and went to almost every Santana concert.

Taj Farrant is incredible, what a tremendous treat to play with Carlos.
Thanks! Carlos Santana has provided part of the soundtrack of my life for more than 50 years. I grew up in the BayArea in a Golden age of music.
I was blessed to see this lineup a few times. 5 shows, 5 yrs in a row in the 90s.
Not there,but have seen Santana about a dozen times over close to 40 years. Always a great show.
Its amazing how so many talented , how do they all play it so tight , the 70s were the best , im honored to have grown up in that era , blessed be 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Love it when jam sessions include riffs from other songs. Always puts a smile on my face.
Saw Santana play several times over the last several decades. Always an amazing show. Thanks for this Jamal - it brings back so many great memories. It is the kind of show where you never sit the whole time - you just dance!

This is what guitarists call "noodling".
Just play whatever notes fell right, and keep in time to the rhythm.
Santana's noodles are always cooked to perfection.
Ohhhhh man does this song take me back to my college days!!!! If you can stay still during this play, you are dead. One of this greatest!!
The great Chester Thompson (CT) on keyboards, formerly with Tower of Power.
He was amazing !
Just saw him in concert a few years ago. Crazy good - the drummer (his wife) was beyond belief.

Jamel - You MUST HEAR "Samba Pa Ti" --- VERY VERY MELLOW and RELAXING INSTRUMENTAL by Santana!!! You will ENJOY IT!! REEELAAX
I have had the extreme good fortune to have seen SANTANA LIVE 4 times from 1971 - 2009.....AWESOME every time.
This version smokes the original studio recording! The audience brings out the best in the talented musicians! The Hammond B3 organ and Carlos Santana's guitar, great combo!
A Santana concert is a one of a kind experience. You see people from 80yrs down to 5 yrs old. Awesome
I have loved Santana since I saw them at Woodstock. When Carlos plays the guitar, the guitar sings...Love this and Carlos
Absolutely right in the middle "Owner of a Lonely Heart" (YES). Many musicians compliment each other in this manner. Thank you for your reaction!
And the chair dancing award goes to...
absolutely love what u do. Don't know how to describe this group, but as a Cherokee woman, hard core backpacker, woodswoman, back in the "70s hippie, hanging in with the guys driving off-road when people didn't know what that was, there was a rough sounding group "Black Oak Arkansas" with the song "Gravel Roads", which was right up our alley. They had some other ones we id'd with, but that was a great one for us. Keep up with the meaning of your shirt - it's beautiful. Thx for all you do!
People on (SF CA) Mission Street say that they spot him shopping now and then. He still likes the Mission no matter how successful he is.
💥Saw them on a double bill with the Funkadelics in 1978. The place was literally jumping! I swear Santana must have been 25 ppl on the stage. And that was when the Funkadelics had the space ship.
Plays it every night (has too), and tears it up every time.
A Summer in 72, I play Congo drums in a pickup group in Coconut Grove city park, Many of the Santana sounds was preformed.
I saw Santana at the 94.1 WYSP Be-In back in the early 90s. They played at Fairmount Park in Philadelphia. Tie died shirts, weed, beer, and great music. It was an outdoor concert and it rained that day. The percussionist started playing the bongos in the rain and the rain was bouncing off the drums as he played. It was fantastic!
That’s some good music! I saw him at the mall a couple of years ago - all by himself, just enjoying a nice day (it’s an open air mall).
Way back in the day, I went to see Santana in Southampton, U.K.... their SUPPORT band...? Earth, Wind and Fire!! Oh, what a night!
'Greatness' - Appreciations to you for the one word that encompasses this band. =)
I’ve seen Carlos/Santana twice and all I can say is “WOWSER”🎉✨🎉 No sitting down while they’re playing. While Carlos is strumming it’s as if heaven comes down and brings you a sound like no other
Love the keyboard solo. As usual, Santana was great. The entire band working together was stupendous.
I wasn't at that concert, but I've seen Santana live. A concert in Las Vegas was maybe the best concert I've ever seen! Yes the music talks!!! Love you, Jamel.
Excited for this one here
She's Not There by Santana is such a great song. Killer track. Full of pure energy.
The whole Moonflower album is pretty good
I don't speak a lick of spanish, but this has always been my favorite Santana song. A great song goes beyond the language barrier.
JMAN, Santana's ' Hope you're feeling better ' is a must listen. Their best IMO.
"Mean-ass" riff on that one, my fave too!
OMG I was a kid and I remember this song was ALL OVER my neighborhood. I remember the lowriders cruising on the Blvd playing this song and I COULDN'T WAIT to grow up and drive my own lowrider. I thought those guys were SO COOL and this song is FOREVER a part of my soul.
I had the pleasure to see Him live .I love the delegated solos by other band members . Jingo always brings the house down .
Love your Chanel. I honestly feel that people are connected to each other through music. It breaks all boundaries and crosses all cultures and makes all of us one big musical family. Keep spreading the love my friend.
Saw him playing this live at Kezar Stadium in The City. 1975. He was in a world of his own.
I always almost forget that Santana was at the original Woodstock
I've worn out a couple of copies of Abraxas, bought all their LPs back then (including the doubles and triples) seen e'm at their best in the late 70s; This was new to me and pretty glorious too.
ABRAXAS! Yes! Dude, that album should always be listened from start to finish. Wonder if Jamal would be allowed to do that? 🤔🎸
You should hear the quadraphonic version!
Love their sound. Thanks Jamel. 👍🎶
Viva SANTANA......Latino love 💯. He is a master but so so humble. Love him grew up with my mom dancing around the house with this song cooking yucca rice black beans tortillas and meat stewing in the big pots for whoever and I mean whoever stopped over. It was anyone she fed everyone mailmen to the men who were shutting off the water so they left it on and all I remember is my mom's beauty wow what beauty and my dad is Italian and he had a Latin beauty who dressed cooked and danced for him daily. They are still together 50 something years later and despite her beginnings of dementia she still does the same she hears this song and says where's my "MAKE-UP BAG". Santana made my mama feel energetic and wanted to move. Thanks for reacting to this J.
Great song! Sheila E's dad also recorded this. Jamel is awesome!
Well given that Pete Escovedo (Sheila E's father - the E is for Escovedo) was a member of Santana for quite a few years - it's not surprising.
Oh yeah. This is my favorite Santana song. Thanks for reacting.
