More than 55 years after his iconic performance at Woodstock, Carlos Santana returned to historic Bethel Woods last night and electrified a packed house with a passionate, soulful, and spellbinding performance.

He played much of the concert seated—but his artistry remain undiminished.

After the finale, Santana, draped in his signature rainbow colors, raised his arms to a roaring standing ovation, and absorbed the moment. The audience was celebrating not only a remarkable performance, but also the privilege of having witnessed the grace of a living legend.

Oh, the Doobie Brothers were the warmup band!
