Carlos and Bob Dylan look about the same height here, but Dylan's footwear may be "dodgy":

One of the greatest guitarists ever, and a nice guy. That makes him a giant in some ways.

I met Carlos Santana in the lobby of the Bayerische Hof Hotel in Munich some years ago. I showed him a folding electric guitar which I had invented (it is in Chet Atkins' book "Me and My Guitars"). Carlos was nice but I seem to remember that he was shorter than I am even though I am about 5'9" tall. Roger Field

I met the 2 of them together at some dump Days Inn in N.J. late 96 or early 97.maybe Im totally wrong.cause thats too soon to go back on tour.

Yeah, thinking back now, it was definitely the fall of '95 at Madison Square Garden. They must have toured together more than once.

Glenn says on 6/Aug/06
Sure that wasnt '97? I saw the 2 of them arount that time.

D. Ray Morton says on 6/Aug/06
Barefoot, I'd say that Carlos is about my height, maybe a smidge taller. I met him when he was playing with Jeff Beck and Angelique Kidjo ('95?). A truly amazing man.

Glenn says on 6/Aug/06
thats about right.I wouldve said 5-8.

I met Santana backstage in 2004. He gives the impression of being about 5'10", as I am 5'8.5" and he was definately a bit taller...
I don't recall what kind of shoes he had one, but 5'9.5-5'10" would be pretty much right on.

Ya at The Palms here in Vegas I was able to get a picture with him and I'm 6'3" and he came up to about my chin. I'd say 5'9" is correct.

I saw him perform live back when the Supernatural phenomenom was taking place and got to meet him afterwards. Very, very nice guy and he IS approx. this height.
