Carlos Santana & Rob Thomas - Smooth (1999 Live) | REACTION 

when this came out it blew everyone away. Rob brought sensuality and Santana brought the heat and the band brought the rhythm, what more could you ask for.

The music video release with Rob Thomas' wife dancing in front of Carlos is priceless!

They played this song almost on repeat, and I never got tired of it.

Only Rob Thomas could sing this. Best collaboration I've ever heard in 65 years. My #1 favorite.

One of the best collaborations in rock history.

I strongly recommend that you view the official music video of this song. Total FIRE

Rob Thomas is one of the best singers I have seen live.

Written by Rob Thomas who was not originally meant to be the singer, this huge hit meant a big resurgence of popularity for Carlos (who actually said that Rob should be the vocalist!)

Grammies 1999. Everyone thought the Backstreet Boys had it in the bag with I Want It That Way, and their Millenium album. And it WAS good, but along came this song and that album and blew them out of the water, lol!!!

Carlos Santana is a great guitarist ❤

If this song doesn’t get you up dancing then you’re probably not alive, it’s a jam

THAT WAS F🙀CKING AMAZING!!! I've only seen the the official video and I thought That was awesome. But this was off the charts. ❤

This song had such far-reaching impact. For Carlos and Rob, and for Latin music in general. I think it really brought Latino/Chicano into the pop spectrum. There's a whole new genre of music that enjoys pop success now because of Carlos, and this song. Rob brought his pop/rock style into it (such a distinctive voice, you should do some MB20 if you haven't listened. That first album is a classic) and Carlos brought Carlos 😂 I don't think anybody expected what it blew up into, you'll never forget this song as long as you live. It's just that good.

I truly didn't think it was possible to love this song more than I already did. It's soooooooo sensual! Moves every fiber of my being. But THIS version- WOW. The vibe in that crowd is 🔥! I would have given almost ANYTHING to see thar performance live! 🤩🤩🤩 We were at a concert just last weekend....there's nothing I enjoy more than being part of a huge crowd of happy people drawn together by music!

I love that Santana stays current by inviting other musicians to contribute in a meaningful way.

Love this song! The album was huge with special guests featured in each song. Carlos Santana is a GOAT rock guitar GOD dating all the way back to the 1960s. Rob Thomas is also an amazing song writer & had several solo hits that would be great for you to react to.

This song is such an amazing combination of musical genres and screams perfection!! A GREAT JAM!!

Love the song and performance. Love Rob Thomas's voice

The Official Music Video is worth checking out ❤

Carlos brings an energy like no other.

This song was in every club every weekend, in every car on every trip, and on almost every radio station every day. And right now, it holds a pretty high spot on my 90s playlist. I could never get burned out on this song. Never heard or saw it live, though, that was incredible! I could be wrong, but I believe the beginning of the song is intended for Rob to be a bit more subdued.

Just saw Carlos Santana in concert last week, he's still got it! This song was the closer and he sounded amazing.

SANTANA for the first time?? WOW!! I have seen them live several times over the year and they WOW each and every time! Carlos is king on that guitar!!

Santana did a whole album collaboration of a bunch of 90s bands and singers from rock to hip hop worth hearing!!! ❤😊

Part of me was baffled that you hadn’t heard this before. It was such a jam growing up. Even 24 years later, I still remember the words. And theres a reason they say Santana is one of the best

OMG, I am SO glad you did this version. This is one of my favorite songs of all time, and this is absolutely my favorite performance of it. THANK YOU~~~Check out those red leather pants!!!! OOOO this was a HOT performance. Gets me EVERY time. I love the obvious adoration in Rob's eyes. You can tell he was blown away that he was having this awesome performance and crown with the great Carols Santana

Rob Thomas has no problem being comfortable on stage. :D This is a perfect song!

Rob Thomas was performing with the greatest guitarist and his band, and it was damn well intimidating. The reaction that Santana band received that Rob Thomas’s voice reflected his intimidation about working with a legend. But once he got comfortable and vibe off of the audience, he forgot to be intimidated and just enjoyed the ride.

Oh man, never seen this live version...but this album and this song in particular DEFINED my summers in 99 and 00

His album Supernatural is sublime. From various Latin beats, pop, rock, hip hop, he went all out, and it paid off. This song is a jam. 🎉

Have absolutely LOVED Carlos since 1974...this is a beautiful reimagining and a way to bring his awesome music to a broader audience. Just fabulous

I was a server/ bartender when this came on our muzak we would all dance and sing around the restaurant as we did our jobs customers would join in. Damn loved that job love this song, video is awesome

Rob Thomas said he and Carlos bonded over them both being involved with Hispanic women. The line about 'changing your life to suit her mood'? Thomas mentioned that as the linchpin of the song as far as he and Carlos were concerned. The whole album just bangs.

I remember clearly watching them perform this at the Grammys. I’d liked the other performances… boy bands and the like if I recall… lots of choreography with singing on the side if you know what I mean. Then Smooth happened and I found myself thinking I hope everyone else in the building is taking notes 😂

Wow! Time flies!!! I can’t believe how old this song is! 😳😳😳. Its a great song and collaboration. I’ve never seen this performance of it. It’s awesome!!!! Anyway if you get a chance, check out the original video! Very very cool!!!!

I love this song. You can't sit still when this song is on!

Do you know how old Carlos Santana is. Yes,he was making hits in the 60's! He was,and is, and always a Rock God! ❤❤❤❤

Omg I went crazy about this song. This was in 1999. I was at a New Year’s Eve party. Loved it ever since. ❤

Have seen Santana live over a dozen times and always leave with such a great feeling. Always an extremely diverse crowd with everyone enjoying some great music and each others fellowship. You can see what I mean when you look at this awesome performance. Beautiful stage packed with talent. Rob Thomas brings some energy that is hard to match. RIP to long time band member and bongos player Raul Rekow!

Yeah. Music with high spirits. Great collaboration.Such a jam session.

Have loved Santana since the 70's. Evil ways. Love Rob Thomas. Such a wonderful song. Thank you for playing this! Great✌️

I've not seen this performance! AWESOME!!!💜💖💜

I'm hearing this song performed live here for the first time and it's awesome! I have this song on my ipod and love it everytime it comes on my shuffle selection. The horns backing Rob and Carlos up are so tight. I'm dancing in my seat!

This was my first time to see the live performance! I loved this song, and initially worried that the live performance was not going to be worthy of the amazing studio version. Man, it did not take too long for those fears to fade, and like you said, it just got better as it went along. Man, this is one of those concerts that is on my "I want a time machine" list. Great reaction to an amazing show.

This is a top 5 song for me, any decade, any genre. Carlos Santana, Ron Thomas, what’s not to love?! Thanks so much for reacting to it!

I liked the offical video, but this live one... wow! Everything, the music, the vocals, Carlos on guitar, and the artistic setting. The energy in the place is incredible just watching the video. Absolutely, my favorite live performance and watching the audience was one of my favorite parts.

Such an amazing song, and performance! According to rock legend, when Carlos approached Rob regarding this song, it was so instinctively organic as it was about the woman Rob was married to who was the very epitome of the song.

I was late to the Santana party but I love him now. This song is just terrific. I had a ticket to see Santana at the O2 in London, spring 2020. So looking forward to it, March 27 was the date. Then you know-what-happened and he's never been back since. Carlos! It's okay now! Come back!

Santana and Rob along with American Authors teamed up again in 2021 with the song “Move” which is also excellent

Loved this collab! Thanks for the reaction.

This is my favorite song of the entire decade

Rob did what Rob does...draws you in slowly and gets intense by the end. That was perfect. Love both Rob and Santana. Rob was in the band called Matchbox 20. You should check it out!

Absolutely took my breath away , I wish I could have been there !

I ABSOFUKNLUTELY LOVE THIS SONG!!!! TIMELESS!!!!

Carlos Santana…BRILLIANT!!!

I have always loved Carlos Santana, saw him in concert around 1972, the best concert I've ever been to. I had never seen this performance, it was awesome! Thank you!

I almost wrecked the car the first time I heard this on the radio. I KNEW it was going to be huge. Every cut on the Supernatural album is a real banger. Next up, listen to Maria.

this has always been a favorite song of mine. The video is so rockin with Thomas' wife in it playing his unrequited love. Both the song and the video shot out of this world when they came out. And I think it was the #1 song of 2000 (or maybe 1999). This was a great video. I agree that Rob Thomas seemed a little stiff at first but, once he warmed up it was a celebration for all.

Thanks for bringing this to me, I never saw this performance and now I want to see it again! Usually, it's us bringing new music to you, but I appreciate when you show me something new. My thanks again!!!

I saw this tour in Pittsburgh, and yes Carlos always puts on a show. He makes the guitar sing.

I've seen Carlos Santana 2 times. The man is phenomenal. He will play everything he can in those 3 hrs or so he gives you. I absolutely love and respect his music. Thomas sounds great here.

I grew up on Carlos Santana & when this was released it blew my mind.

Man I have loved this song forever... Loved to dance to it!

Rob's voice is SO unique!

As perfect as it gets. I am chair-dancing my heart out!

WOW! He must have been THRILLED to get to sing with Santana! They are a legend. I hope you'll do more Santana songs.

Timeless and fabulous!❤

This win a Grammy for song of the year.

This whole album is just one piece of fire after another. No filler.

This song is multi cultural Fiesta!!

I absolutely have all ways loved Santana!! Just can't help but move when he starts to playing! One of the greatest guitarists in my opinion! The Supernatural album has a lot of great songs! I love the song Maria! Maria! also, but this song is one of my all time favorites!

So many moving parts in perfect harmony!

This whole album (Supernatural) is full of Santana collabs with different vocalists... deserves a deep-dive.

I heard this for the first time over a pop radio station on a long car trip with my family. I thought “that guitarist is ripping off Santana.” He hadn’t had a hit since the 70s, so it couldn’t be him, right? Great surprising collaboration.

Brilliant, Top knotch..Santana just timeless.

Santana effin hell one of the best guitarists on this earth ..

SalvoG, I love your reactions lol! Your expressions remind me of Edward Norton ❤

LOVE this song .. great album..

Santana is the best guitarist in the world. I was privileged to see him introduced by Bill Graham at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco during the 60s.

Any Santana is good Santana and great music.

Santana, one of the best concerts I have ever been to ❤ Rob Thomas, awesome performer and love his voice, would love to see MB20 live ❤

The love interest in the video is Rob’s wife. I love both of these guys so this was an absolute win! There is a new collaboration with these 2, I’ve forgotten the name but it’s a winner!!!

Carlos Santana is an absolute god!

Carlos Santana - everything he does is amazing.

My God I can so remember just dancing like crazy to this song! It was so good and still is❤

I remember when this came out too, it really was amazing! I’m a newbie to your channel, and I’m older and sure appreciate you are bringing attention & appreciation to these great tunes from back in the day! Every musician is top notch , it’s soo well done ! Every gal back then had a thing for Rob too!And of course Carlos was as great as he always is!

Never ever ever ever gets old.

Carlos is so rich. He doesn't need to do this. He just loves his craft so much, he can't stop.

Another great reaction. Always fun to see how much you enjoy great music, SG!

A masterpiece collaboration! Carlos Santana is legendary!

I just about wore this album out I played it so much... In summer of 1969 I went to the Fillmore West to see the WHO. The opening band was some group we'd never heard of called Santana.

There is NO substitute for talent.

Santana is one of the coolest people on the planet

I had this album on repeat when it came out 🔥

Santana- one of the best !

Oh my goodness that’s was amazing!

Heyyy WOWWWW.... I've never seen this live, SalvoG, THANK YOU!

Santana has been an entertainer since the 1960s

A very good rendition!

Loved your reaction. That was sick.
