Synopsis
Dedicated to the life of Mexican labour leader Cesar Chavez, SACRED FIRE features renowned guitarist Carlos Santana performing on May 22nd and 23rd 1993 in Mexico City. Making music since the 1960s, Santana and his band successfully mix blues, Latin music, and psychedelic rock to produce long-standing hits like 'Black Magic Woman'. This remarkable concert is a testament to Santana's brilliant music career.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Supernatural but not bad either, 7 Dec 2002
By Joseph P. Tunney (Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Poland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this DVD about a month ago in Poland - it just demonstrates the wildy different release dates in Europe. I'm not sure why this happens.

Anyway to the DVD. I've been a Santana fan for more years than I care to remember and like almost everybody else, Supernatural blew me away. The DVD of Supernatural is perhaps one of the best examples of Music DVD's around, the DTS sound is fantastic. It was disappointing (But understandable) to see that Sacred Fire is stereo only. However, it still stands as a great example of the exuberance of a Santana live performance.

All of the standards are there for old and new fans alike and it lacks the commercialism of the later DVD. This was also probably one of the better Santana line-ups, especially with Alexander Ligertwood's stormy vocals. Santana's brother Jorge also plays some nice guitar on Black Magic Woman. The star, though, is still Carlos. An instantly recognisable sound that at times makes the hair on your neck stand up. Thoroughly recommended - buy it.

4.0 out of 5 stars SANTANA -SACRED FIRE, 21 Sep 2003
By A Customer
As a fan of Santana since I saw them at a festival at Shepton Mallet, Somerset in 1970, I have followed Carlos through all his different styles some I've liked and others I haven't; his Supernatural phase I hate. I have had the video of Sacred Fire for a few years and it is the best concert yet released of Santana. This is DVD for the purist Santana fans. With some of his best known work from the raw style of the 1969-1970s era to pre-Supernatural, really great. Somehow I have become particularly entranced with Make Somebody Happy, its has great vocals and guitar work, Esparando is also a rapesque type number which stands out. Also listen carefully to the background guitar work behind the introduction speech of Angels All Around Us its so haunting. This concert was recorded live in Mexico in front of a partisan Hispanic audience and the atmosphere is electric. If you want a true sample of Santana at his best forget Supernatural and buy Sacred Fire instead you will not be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is REAL!!! dance music..., 14 Jan 2007
By S. M. Loveland "loveland43" (brighton) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you like electric Afro-Cuban music live, then this will be right up your street. As you would expect, the percussionists, keyboards etc are all of the highest order. Also, whoever did the sound engineering knows what they're doing - Sound is excellent. Carlos' brother Jorge Santana is also plays with the band. The vast majority of guitar solos are done by Carlos, but on a couple of numbers, Jorge starts soloing instead. Interesting to hear the their two styles contrasting. Although they're very similiar in tone, Jorge seems to have more measured, economical style of guitar maybe a bit tidier than Carlos' slightly erratic, but very spontaneous fiery style. The singing is also very good. All in all a good buy(or rent).

4.0 out of 5 stars Shame about the sound balance
This comes very close to being a great concert DVD; the audio-visual quality is excellent, it is atmospheric and the musicianship and singing is impeccable. Read more
