Santana - Oye Como Va (Live 1993)

Yes everyone knows Santana is a guitar god, but Chester "CT" Thompson's keyboard solo's on this one are phenomenal. A very underrated keyboardist.

So awesome, it's a little faster paced than the studio version and has all kinds of really nice solos. I think it's amazing. I've watched it so many times and it's still awesome!
