This is a reissue of a rare title from a handmade label by collectors for collectors, which was distributed only in very limited quantities. While copies quickly circulate these days, this item is an officially licensed reissue from a newly acquired master.

This recording features a remastered version of Santana's July 20, 2010 live performance from a high-quality audience master. This day was Carlos Santana's 63rd birthday, and a birthday song was sung during the concert. The guest appearances are also impressive, with Cindy Blackman delivering a powerful drum solo and Steve Winwood participating on keyboards and vocals. From percussive early classics like "Zingo" to brilliant covers of John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" and Cream's "Sunshine of Your Love," the album is full of great songs. Santana's trademark long tones from his humbuckers just keep going and going.
