Santana's mega-hit album Supernatural was so ubiquitous that one might ask why he or she would need the DVD? Firstly, Supernatural Live is a live concert version of Carlos Santana's collaboration with artists such as Dave Matthews, Everlast, Lauren Hill, Wayne Shorter, Rob Thomas, and Sarah McLachlan, different from the released record. The sound quality is excellent, as are the performances. In fact, Supernatural Live is so entertaining that it might be the best firstRolling Stone (7/8-22, p.144) - 3 1/2 Stars (out of 5) - "...Eclectic, lively and only occasionally goofy, SUPERNATURAL offers a glossy but winning context of musical fusion that highlights Santana's unique ability to make that guitar of his cry expressively..."
Entertainment Weekly (6/18/99, p.79) - "...Whether he's spraying lyrical notes over a soulful Lauryn Hill composition, trading molten licks with Clapton, or playing spacey blues with Everlast, Santana still has that old 'Black Magic Woman' thing goin' on..." - Rating: B+
CMJ (1/10/00, p.23) - Included in CMJ's "Triple A '99 Top 5" - "...proves in 1999 that veteran rockers don't have to burn out or fade away....utilizing his unique salsa-blues-rock approach..."
Mojo (Publisher) (9/99, p.103) - "...easily the best place to hear this pleasantly inconsequential noise would be at a barbecue on a hot summer night, especially if you didn't want to disturb the neighbors."
