    PRNewswire-- "The Carlos Santana Universal Tone Tour 2010 gets underway on June 30 with an initial North American leg running through early August.  Carlos and the Santana Band will be joined on the road by special guest Steve Winwood, who will open the dates. Following the kick-off concert at Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, MN, the tour travels through the Midwest and Canada for the first half of July, and then heads to the East coast.

    Highlights along the way include shows at Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, IL (7/9); Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto, ON (7/11); Bell Centre in Montreal, QC (7/15); Nikon at Jones Beach Theater in Wantagh, NY (7/18); Comcast Center in Mansfield, MA (7/23); Verizon Wireless Virginia Beach Amphitheatre in Virginia Beach, VA (7/27), and Cruzan Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, FL (8/1).  

    The Universal Tone Tour 2010 will feature hits from Santana's four-decade-long career, as well as songs from a brand new studio album that Carlos Santana is currently putting finishing touches on. Santana's most recent release was the 2010 reissue of Supernatural as a 2-CD Legacy Edition — featuring 11 previously unissued bonus tracks — in celebration of the classic nine-time GRAMMY-winning album's 10th anniversary."

    Steve Winwood released a multi-disc career retrospective on June 7th entitled “Revolutions – The Very Best Of Steve Winwood”. It is a portrait of one of the most influential British musicians in rock history; a singer-songwriter, peerless vocalist, guitarist and keyboard player. 

    “Revolutions: The Very Best Of Steve Winwood” is available in two high quality formats: a single CD for the casual fan and a four CD deluxe box set including 60 page book for the connoisseur, with sleevenotes by writer Dylan Jones.

    On holiday from the Netherlands in Florida we drove from Orlando to Tampa for the Santana/Winwood show. Swapped tickets in the morning on TM to row 4 centre stage! My son (15)plays some stuff by Santana so he wanted to go to the show. I saw Santana in the 70's (great) and 80's (far from great). We both saw Winwood with Clapton just a couple months ago in Belgium. The show in Tampa was amazing. First Steve for 75 minutes with a great band, then Santana better than I ever heard him, with topclass musicians around him. His sound was as it should be. Back to the roots. Steve (and band) and Carlos went through a long "Right on" by Marvin This was one of my top 10 shows ever (ou t of 100+ by Prince, Clinton Who Stones etc) See you in the autumn in Europe Steve.

    Went to two show, Milwaukee WI and Tinley Park IL. Was disappointed that Steve did not come our with Santana at either of the performances. My wife had her shirt from the Roll With It tour that was exactly 20 years to the day as Tinley Park. Wanted to get it autographed but it didn't happen....We'll keep trying.

    I entered the Santana final tour contest for Miami, and get about 20 spam mails; reminds me of Hendrix's promoters, only in it for the money-not the music

    Santana has a great history of a guitarist. I read on a different site that he has loads of unreleased live performances. He is a talented musician with very good intentions. I don't think getting wasted on marijuana helps out any musician, and to me, that's the image he wants to project. Marijuana is a herb used for healing, which is abused across the world. Let's hope Santana recovers from his drug addiction. It's a sad sight to see Santana being used as a mass marketing peddler of handbags, shoes, and what-have-you. Let's wish the best for Carlos Santana, and cherish his great recordings. Whatever Santana is doing now has no appeal to me, but if making a living on your name, and making a name brand works for him, that's great. I've just seen so many people waste their money on a bad drug habit that puts them 6 feet under financially. Let's hope and pray for his drug addiction recovery.

    Reflecting back on the two concert experiences,,, it truly Showcased Steve Winwood's music from deep inside his soul, with thoughtful lyrics and healing power. His concert reached out to everyone in the audience. Santana's show was geared toward the 20 something audience high on drugs. Could truly see how marijuana messes up music, it then comes some hallucinating ego sound, which Santana would clean up his act, funny how he even played at crossroads. I mean, in the 60's marijuana was used in such small doses, today, everything is supersized. He might as well sniff glue, drug addiction looses your soul and fools you. Thank God for the healing message from Crossroads
