Santana is an American rock band, formed in 1966 by the Mexican American guitarist Carlos Santana, which has performed for five decades.
The group's first concert tours were North America, with performances in Europe, where they performed at small and medium-size venues and rock festivals. Following a lineup change in early 1972, they toured the world from 1972 to 1973. During this tour, the band performed at arenas and theaters, while doing several concerts in South America, one of the first tours of the continent by a major American rock act. After a North American tour in 1974, the last remaining members of the group from their famous lineup, Michael Shrieve and José Areas, quit the group, and the band underwent multiple lineup changes during the following years. In the 1970s to the 1980s, the band played at arenas, but mostly theaters and seldom music festivals.
In the 1990s, the group lost their recording contract, but they continued to tour extensively throughout the decade, mostly playing at theaters and amphitheaters. However, the band ended the decade with the Supernatural Tour, a vehicle for their popular 1999 album Supernatural . The 177–date tour was a success with audiences and critics, and the group continued to perform within the 2000s. In the third quarter of 2010, Carlos Santana proposed to drummer Cindy Blackman after her solo on the song "Corazón Espinado", and she became an official member of the band in 2016. The group continues to tour the world to this day.

The Zebop! Tour (also known as The Zebop Concert '81) [12] was the sixteenth concert tour by Santana supporting the Zebop! album.
Santana spent 1981 promoting Zebop! by touring in North America, Europe, and Asia. As well as playing at sporting venues and theaters, the group performed at nightclubs. The group started the year off with a huge 76-show tour of North America, followed by a brief tour of Japan with Masayoshi Takanaka. The band then flew to the United States to do seven concerts in California, and a tour of Europe soon followed. After the European tour concluded, the group opened for the Rolling Stones at the Pontiac Silverdome in Pontiac, Michigan, in December.
During the Japanese tour, after visiting the Zōjō-ji temple in Tokyo, Carlos Santana's wife Deborah confessed to him that in early 1976, their guru Sri Chinmoy asked her to get an abortion. [13] Carlos was saddened by this news, and they both parted ways with Chinmoy. [14] [15] Deborah's sister Kitsaun King also left the guru's path, and Dipti Nivas, a restaurant in San Francisco the Santanas helped create in September 1973, was sold. [16]

The Freedom Tour (also known as The Freedom Concert '87 or The Freedom Concert 1987) was the twenty-first concert tour by Santana, supporting their album Freedom .
In 1987, Santana did a long world tour promoting Freedom, their tenth international tour since 1970. Aside from visiting countries they have never visited before, such as East Berlin, the band did two shows in war-torn Israel on April 29 and 30. The concert at the Sultan's Pool in Jerusalem on the 29th attracted at least 10,000 Jewish and Arab fans. Lead guitarist Carlos Santana's highlight of the tour was on July 4 at the Izmailovo Stadium in Moscow, Russia, where the band, alongside James Taylor, the Doobie Brothers, Bonnie Raitt and more, played to more than 25,000 Russians, the band's first show in Russia. [71]
On the night of September 11, 1987, at the Sunrise Musical Theater in Sunrise, Florida, bass player Jaco Pastorius sneaked onstage before being kicked out by the theater's security team. He then made his way to the Midnight Bottle Club in Wilton Manors, Florida, where he ended up in a fight with Luc Havan, the club's manager, after reportedly kicking in a glass door, having been refused entry to the club. As a result of his injuries, he died on September 21, 1987, at the age of 35 at Broward General Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale. [72]
