Santana – North Sea Jazz Festival 2004
A Night That Echoes Through Time
The North Sea Jazz Festival is legendary — a melting pot of genres and an annual pilgrimage for music lovers across the globe. But in 2004, Santana took the stage and delivered a performance that transcended genre, language, and even time itself.
Backed by his airtight band of virtuosos, Carlos Santana didn’t just play music — he summoned the spirit of every street corner jam, every Latin rhythm, every blues lick and psychedelic swirl that shaped his iconic sound.
From smoldering renditions of classics like “Black Magic Woman” and “Oye Como Va” to the spiritually charged energy of deeper cuts and extended jams, this set is Santana doing what he does best: channeling the divine through six strings and soul.
Why This Show?
We’ve handpicked this gem for Live Nuggets not just because it’s Santana — but because this show captures what JamFest is all about.
- The improv is wild – no two versions of these songs ever sound the same, and on this night, the band stretched out like never before.
- The crowd is electric – you can feel the energy pulsing from the Dutch faithful, locked in and loving every note.
- The mix is pristine – the live recording quality puts you right in the venue, from the first snare snap to the final guitar wail.
- The lineup is fire – featuring some of Santana’s finest collaborators, this 2004 crew brought the full arsenal of Afro-Latin fusion, rock thunder, and jazz finesse.
For the Heads, the Seekers, and the Groove-Addicted
Live Nuggets isn’t just a time slot — it’s a state of mind. We dig deep, we go wide, and we spin the sets that never got the love they deserved or the exposure they earned. Every Tuesday night, we air one full, uncut concert pulled from the treasure chest of live music history.
Tonight, it’s all about Santana at North Sea — a performance soaked in sunlight, rhythm, and the kind of raw expression that’s becoming harder to find in the modern world.
So whether you’re a Santana superfan, a jazz-festival veteran, or just someone who knows good music when you feel it, this one’s for you.
