*You can support the channel with TH-cam Channel Memberships or through Buy Me a Coffee. Never expected, but always appreciated.❤Links in Description!* This song is straight fire!! The hook is on point and Carlos is bringing it!!
As soon as Carlos starts playing those licks, you know who is holding that guitar. Unique sound and a legend. Thanks for the hard work and great music.
In 2000 this song won a few Grammy awards..... Best Pop Collaboration, Record of the Year Song of the Year Also winning an ALMA award for Outstanding Music Video Porin award for Best Foreign Video No matter how many times I hear/see this song & video it lifts me up, gets my feet tapping & puts a huge smile on my face. Thanks for reacting to this Steven and yes.....absolute banger! Cheers & Merry Christmas to all!
Rob Thomas's wife, Madison Maldonado, has Lyme Disease and has become an advocate for helping people that are also suffering from tic borne illnesses. She was at one time a very big model but because of the Lyme Disease, there are days when can't even get out of bed.
Fabulous song in every way and the video elevates it. Carlos deserves every superlative. Sorry you have never seen it! Classic to many of us 🔥 Some Matchbox Twenty songs would be fun to do too-but this is peak Rob
This song came at a time when Santana's career hit a lull. Someone came up with the idea of pairing up Carlos with modern vocalists. This included "Maria, Maria". It worked so well, they tried it again with "The Game of Love" (Michelle Branch).
I'm so amazed that you haven't heard this! It's one of those songs you couldn't escape. It always seemed to be playing somewhere. Rob Thomas is from a band called Matchbox 20. This song came out in 1999.
Good morning. I’m writing this before I see your reaction, but I cannot believe you have not heard this tune 1000 times. It was number one for like three months and played every hour for about a year on most pop radio stations. It’s a great catchy tune the vocals And the guitar playing are top shelf. Love watching your reactions, keep it up and have a great holiday.
It was never later in Carlos Santana‘s career. He never stopped working and having hits he is the collaborator to end all collaborators! He never stopped performing. 77 years old and he is still touring exclamation
You can NEVER go wrong with Rob Thomas, but add in Santana, and you have an instant smash! “Matchbox 20” (Robs band), and Counting Crows are my absolute favorite 90’s bands! Update: Check out Matchbox 20 “Bright Lights”, and Santana “Winning”
Let's Gooo! Man as soon as I heard this song I went to buy the LP. Santana was brilliant IMO. He basically looked at all the top artists at the time and collaborated with many to make the Supernatural LP. He won so many Grammy awards for this. Matchbox 20 has some great tunes too. 3am and Unwell are a couple. Please check out Tragically Hip New Orleans is sinking studio version 🙏 Merry Christmas to you and your family 🙏🎅🎄Great reaction and Peace out Steven 🙏 ☮️ ✌️
Such a great collaboration between these two. Everybody looks so happy and energetic on what would other wise be just a hot, sticky summer day in the inner city. It makes you want to go to a street party. You probably know Rob as a singer from Matchbox Twenty. BTW, Rob already had the hot girl. She is his real life wife and super model, Madisol Maldonado. They have been married since 1999.
One of my favourite songs! It never fails to make me want to dance. I believe it was 1999, Santana brought an album called Supernatural with collaborations with various artists including Eric Clapton, Dave Matthew’s and it also included this song. Fantastic album, if you haven’t heard it I recommend you stick the whole thing on a playlist 😊
Rob Thomas wrote the tune about the Girl in the Window--presented it to Santana to do for him--Carlos said "you perform this" I'll play-----the girl became his Wife!!!
He also has an album of songs called Guitar Heaven, of re-released songs like "Photogragh" with Chris Daughtry, duets with popular vocalists, including India.Arie, Joe Cocker, Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Audioslave, Scott Stapp of Creed and Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty, Pat Monahan of Train and rapper Nas. Check out the whole album.
Thanks, Steven. This is the last thing i will watch before driving north. It was the perfect vibe as I am about to drive up to NYC, through Spanish Harlem to the Bronx, for my first set of holiday visits. I wish everyone safe travels and a happy holiday week as we greet 2025. May it be a fruitful year.
This was the last number one song of the 20th century and the first number one of the 21st! I had to step away from it for a number of years. This song was sooo overplayed.
Its my b-day tomorrow (dec 24 Christmas eve in sweden). I wish you react to KISS live detroit 1984 eric carrs drum solo and the song after that he is singing ”young and wasted” 😁😁🤘🤘and check out avatar and ghost. Awesome swedish bands.
I made a stop in Jersey and realized i didn't recommend a beautiful holiday video: john legend/carrie underwood original Hallelujah th-cam.com/video/4KiFSKLTj0U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CmjQ4l9pNI46UQ9Z
Sadly, one of the worst live shows I ever went to. Santana phoned it in and looked like he was annoyed to be there. Ruined it completely for me. Only plus was his touring singer, who tackled this song effortlessly. Rob Thomas is the lead vocalist for Matchbox Twenty and is also an accomplished solo artist.

I saw Santana back in the 1900s and just no words on how great he is
As soon as Carlos starts playing those licks, you know who is holding that guitar. Unique sound and a legend. Thanks for the hard work and great
music.
4:33 Matchbox 20 is the band Rob T. was in. The Live version is beyond 🔥 😍
Just so good
What a great combination
Carlos has always had impeccable taste.
This is just like you said a groove
so good !!!!
I love this song and have from Day One.
Rob Thomas is the lead singer for the group Matchbox Twenty.
This was huge on the radio when it came out 😊
What a song to wake up to, ALLRIGHT! Get it
It's like introducing an awesome song to a new friend.
Rob Thomas Matchbox 20...peace...MHK
In 2000 this song won a few Grammy awards.....
Best Pop Collaboration,
Record of the Year
Song of the Year
Also winning an ALMA award for Outstanding Music Video
Porin award for Best Foreign Video
No matter how many times I hear/see this song & video it lifts me up, gets my feet tapping & puts a huge smile on my face.
Thanks for reacting to this Steven and yes.....absolute banger!
Cheers & Merry Christmas to all!
The lady giving Rob Thomas the eyes is his wife. :)
Why is she in a car with another man?🤔🤔
Rob Thomas's wife, Madison Maldonado, has Lyme Disease and has become an advocate for helping people that are also suffering from tic borne illnesses. She was at one time a very big model but because of the Lyme Disease, there are days when can't even get out of bed.
Marisol, not Madison. Gotta love that auto correct, even when you're right!
@@snakeinthegrass7443wife in real life...not in the video
Fun!
And there is a great live version of this as well
The beauty in the window is actually Rob Thomas's wife. One of the greatest songs ever!! Salsa x 10!!
I love that move of Carlos genuflecting over the hotness of that dancer lol😂
Fabulous song in every way and the video elevates it. Carlos deserves every superlative. Sorry you have never seen it! Classic to many of us 🔥 Some Matchbox Twenty songs would be fun to do too-but this is peak Rob
Around this time Santana also did a song with Everlast called Put Your Lights On, thats real good.
Savage. Plain & simple.
Maria Maria...next...peace...MHK
Autograph - Turn up the Radio!
There is a live concert version of this song somewhere and you get treated to a lot more guitar licks from the amazing Santana! Love this song! 🥰🙌🥰
I came to comment about the live version🔥💯‼️
Great reaction🙌👏. As great as this video version is and it is, there is a live version that takes it even higher‼️💯🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶

A master class.
You probably recognize him from the band Matchbox 20. More from Rob Thomas: "Unwell" (with Matchbox 20), "Someday", "Pieces", and "Lonely No More".
Carlos Santana ask Rob Thomas to write him a song the song was written by Rob Thomas and Santana asked him the same lead
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Rob Thomas and Matchbox 20 wrote this song for Santana
Good morning. I’m writing this before I see your reaction, but I cannot believe you have not heard this tune 1000 times.

They still play it in the grocery and hardware store. It's so ubiquitous it is literally elevator music at this point.
His cover of While My Guitar Gently Weeps in my opinion is the best ever. Rod's from Matchbox 20.
Santana has a very distinctive sound. You know a Santana song as soon you hear it.
If I remember correctly, this was #1 on the charts for a looong time. Seems like it came out late 1999 and carried over into 2000
:) I've heard this song many, many times but have never seen this video. :D Great song. "I'd change my life to better suit your mood"...
Great song. Another Santana song is Maria Maria. Rob Thomas with Matchbox 20 song Unwell
At 77 Carlos is still going strong! Go see him at the House of Blues in Vegas before he retires! He sounds as good if not better now than he ever has.
Unreal!! 🔥🔥
Nice n smooth
It was never later in Carlos Santana‘s career. He never stopped working and having hits he is the collaborator to end all collaborators! He never stopped performing.
77 years old and he is still touring exclamation
That’s so awesome! What a legend!! 🔥
Man this song. Every time I hear it I'm at the pool side cabana with a drink in my hand
You can NEVER go wrong with Rob Thomas, but add in Santana, and you have an instant smash!
“Matchbox 20” (Robs band), and Counting Crows are my absolute favorite 90’s bands!
Update:
Check out Matchbox 20 “Bright Lights”, and Santana “Winning”
Let's Gooo! Man as soon as I heard this song I went to buy the LP. Santana was brilliant IMO.

Rob is a fantastic artist. Please, please, please check out his video for Bright Lights. It's a phenomenal song and performance.
"Cool"
Wife!
Awesome song😊
"Let's go!!" (20x).... where are we going and who's driving??..🤣🤣
Haha 😂 Wherever if you’re down to go with me!! 🤘🏻
Rob wrote this for his wife (the girl in the car at the beginning of the video) and revitalised Santana's career by asking him to play.
Such a great collaboration between these two. Everybody looks so happy and energetic on what would other wise be just a hot, sticky summer day in the inner city. It makes you want to go to a street party.
You probably know Rob as a singer from Matchbox Twenty.
BTW, Rob already had the hot girl. She is his real life wife and super model, Madisol Maldonado. They have been married since 1999.
This was definitely later in Santana's career. Rob Thomas wasn't even born when Santana played Woodstock
One of my favourite songs! It never fails to make me want to dance. I believe it was 1999, Santana brought an album called Supernatural with collaborations with various artists including Eric Clapton, Dave Matthew’s and it also included this song. Fantastic album, if you haven’t heard it I recommend you stick the whole thing on a playlist 😊

Oh wow!! Super cool! 🤯
Matchbox 20 .
You sound a little better today, but take it easy.
We’ll still be here.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Your next stop for what else was playing at this time is, La Vida Loca from Ricky Martin, 😊
He also has an album of songs called Guitar Heaven, of re-released songs like "Photogragh" with Chris Daughtry, duets with popular vocalists, including India.Arie, Joe Cocker, Chris Cornell of Soundgarden and Audioslave, Scott Stapp of Creed and Jacoby Shaddix of Papa Roach, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park and Rob Thomas of Matchbox Twenty, Pat Monahan of Train and rapper Nas. Check out the whole album.
Oh sweet!! I’ll have to look into that! Thanks! 👍🏻

Rob Thomas / Match Box 20
Nice last time I was this early, Kelly Clarkson was still competing on America Idol
This was the last number one song of the 20th century and the first number one of the 21st! I had to step away from it for a number of years. This song was sooo overplayed.
Listen to the entire album. Supernatural.
Rob Thomas. matchbox 20
Rob Thomas was less summer for Matchbox 20
Listen to Maria,Maria.
Its my b-day tomorrow (dec 24 Christmas eve in sweden). I wish you react to KISS live detroit 1984 eric carrs drum solo and the song after that he is singing ”young and wasted” 😁😁🤘🤘and check out avatar and ghost. Awesome swedish bands.
I would love to know why Michael Shrieve left the band as a drummer at Woodstock? Anybody know?
Was it Matchbox 20?
I mainly tune in for your dictation of “channel”!
Haha 😂
I made a stop in Jersey and realized i didn't recommend a beautiful holiday video: john legend/carrie underwood original Hallelujah th-cam.com/video/4KiFSKLTj0U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CmjQ4l9pNI46UQ9Z
