Tell me more: Live At US Festival is a newly-released Blu-ray title that captures guitar master Carlos Santana and his top-tier band at their legendary appearance at the US Festival staged in Southern California on Sept. 4, 1982.

Directed by rockumentarian Glenn Aveni, Santana: Live At Us Festival chronicles one of Santana's most memorable and high-profile performances. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's band is outstanding; singer-rhythm guitarist Alex Ligertwood, keyboardist Richard Baker, bassist David Margen, drummer Graham Lear, percussionists Raul Rekow, Orestas Vilat and Armando Peraza bring a power and enthusiastic touch to all of the material performed here.

The performance features Santana performing powerful versions of classics including "Black Magic Woman," Oye Como Va" and an especially dynamic take on "Nowhere To Run." Other highlights include a cover of the Zombies' "She's Not There" bolstered by Santana's signature lead guitar playing that segues into John McLaughlin's "Marbles," as well as the catchy rocker "Open Invitation." Bonus features on the Blu-ray include interview segments with Santana.
