Great list!
We saw Santana at Winterland in the late 1960s.
Just last year Santana came to a brand new indoor concert site: The Venue at Thunder Valley Casino. The sound was incredible. For about 10 minutes before Santana walked out, there was a mix of music from around the world. Whoever did the mixing deserves a raise. Then, slowly but surely, it morphed into the Woodstock intro into a live Soul Sacrifice. They played 5-6 more songs without stopping.
