Santana - II

For Dubai, where hype and hoopla are sometimes the main event, Santana’s performance was a lesson in ‘the real thing.’
No gimmicks, no costume changes, no gyrating dancers, and just when you thought it was as good as it got, the drummer Dennis Chambers unleased his amazing prowess on the crowd. Chambers put on the best solo drum exhibitions I have ever seen.
Santana looked old and at times frail on stage. He spoke little and when he did, it was with an aura of mysticism. He truly makes it really hard not to like him or his music.
