Santana Concert at Shoreline, Mountain View

It was my first ever Rock Concert, man.. how cool is that? It was a really cold night but Santana, was electrifying, his guitar riffs were spell binding and once he was on stage the heat is on.

To prepare for the concert, my parents let me listen to Santana songs in the car for the past couple of months since they bought the tickets to the concert. My favourite Santana song is Maria Maria and when Santana finally played my fave song midway to the concert I was stunned. So stunned I just sat in my seat listening to the song. Before that I was happily jumping around and swaying to the other songs.

When the song ended, I promptly asked my parents “Can we go home now ?” . Yes, to me Maria Maria was the encore.. it didn’t matter that the concert is still not over yet and my parents didn’t get to hear Santana classics like Samba Pati and Oye Como Va. We stayed a while longer but my parents finally gave up when they saw me slumping in the chair and falling asleep. 9pm was a little bit way past my bedtime..
