Recorded live in Dortmund for WDR's Rockpalast.

The Concert for the Americas was a music festival held on August 20, 1982 in the Dominican Republic at the Altos de Chavón Amphitheater, a 5,000-seat, open-air Greek-style venue located approximately two hours east of Santo Domingo It was the amphitheater's inaugural event, with performers including Frank Sinatra with Buddy Rich, Heart, and Santana. Santana's set was cut short due to inclement weather. Songs performed: "All I Ever Wanted", "Primera Invasion" / "Searchin'" and "Black Magic Woman" / "Gypsy Queen".

Mexican Carlos Santana revolutionized pop music. After he fused the Latin sound with the rock vibe, the music scene was never the same. The guitarist and his band can be seen here in an unmissable show recorded in Australia, in the late 70's. Santana, accompanied by top musicians, plays several of his classics ("Black Magic Woman", "Evil Ways") and still covers Buddy Holly ("Well, All Right") and The Zombies ("She's Not There").
