With its location in Mexico City and a dedication to Cesar Chavez, this live Santana set is clearly rooted in Carlos's Chicano heritage. Of course his heritage has been part of Santana's core sound since he blew crowds away with Latin beats, Spanish vocals, and his unmistakably yearning guitar sound in the late 1960s. But here, Carlos takes viewers back to a spiritual point of reference that gains meaning through the music and offers meaning back to the music. The 1993 vintage of the film naturally centers it on the latest of many, many incarnations of Santana. And even though the familiar faces from eras past are gone, the band still stirs up these tunes. Carlos calls on timeworn standards that should be familiar to any fan of the last generation's rock & roll, and the band dutifully churns out "No One to Depend On," "Black Magic Woman," "Oye Como Va," "Samba Pa Ti," "Guajira," and even the 1970s-era hit "Open Invitation." There are highlights aplenty, not the least of which is show-opener "Angels All Around Us" and "Soul Sacrifice." And the video stays largely focused on the music--save for the travelogue cutaways to sites in Mexico. As for Carlos, he plays as if the year were 1968--which is to say that he launched a career with his sound and vision almost fully formed. There has been development for the great one, but here he sticks with his soulful gospel of stirring, uncategorizable (is it world music? Latin rock?) guitar-driven rock & roll. --Andrew Bartlett

Good Sound but I am not satisfied with the edition, too many camera changes, they don`t focus on anything, they constantly move and the quality of the image is also poor however in terms of santana performance is good I would recomend "live by request" insead of sacred fire.

one of the best live performances I've ever seen. I saw this concert years ago on PBS and I've been unable to find the DVD in stores. A friend told me to try Amazon. A must have for all Santana fans.
Santana's best video! December 3, 2008

I bought this DVD for my pre-teen grandson who plays guitar in a band. He will love this video, which I think is the best collection of Santana's music. Carlos Santana only gets better with time. I will be hanging out with my grandson and I will be watching this with him.
Finally found it! August 7, 2008

I've seen a couple of the videos from this DVD and have looked for it all over. Santana has it on his website but it's back ordered. I first searched for it here and came up with Sacred Fire live in South America? Then I searched again and found the Live in Mexico. Seems to me it's the same dvd but just in case I ordered the Live in Mexico since that's where the clips I've seen were filmed. I can't wait to see the whole concert. The version of "Samba Pa' Ti" is probably the best one I've seen him play. He takes the audience to the edge and just when they are about to fall he picks them back up again. Although I haven't seen the whole show I'm giving it 5 stars just from the four clips I've seen as the music is very high energy and if you've ever been to one of his concerts you know what I mean.
