Santana Woodstock"True hippies believe only two things: love and peace!" With these words, Latin-rock legend Carlos Santana at the start of his tour in Germany good old virtues recalls.

40 years after the legendary Woodstock Festival, he played on Saturday evening in Mainz at the beginning and the end of his concert before about 8000 fans those songs, which he then helped to break through.

In addition, there were many classic hits from his successful album "Supernatural" from 1999. The mix of "handmade" music, and world a better place was the best rhetoric and also feared the rain did not happen. Many spectators left the open-air area with a smile on your face.

Shortly before its 62nd Anniversary of this Monday was Santana with a T-shirt on stage, on which the imprint "Woodstock Festival 1969" was read. First piece of the evening was "Soul Sacrifice", as the last encore, after more than two hours of live music played to the native Mexicans "Jingo," Santana, the first song that it had made the charts. With "Evil Ways" and "Black Magic Woman" was to hear more oldies in 1969 as a sensation was. They laid the groundwork for Santana mix of rock, African and Latin American rhythms.

They danced or even listened reverently remember the quieter instrumental pieces. At least from the second piece, "Into the Night" clapping and the audience almost hopped on acclamation.

Santana had last week against the naïve computer music today gewettert. In Mainz, he showed that a good band and imaginative songs can still inspire. It proved to be the virtuoso guitar solos in long strings even more than acrobat.

In the middle of the concert reminded Santana in a small speech to John Lennon's song "Imagine" and Nelson Mandela, who had birthday on Saturday. His audience, he called to "build bridges for a better world to build - full of harmony, forgiveness and equality. The Old Hippie got that kind of applause.
