Carlos Santana often performed "Conquistadores" in concert and an excellent version is captured on the 1997 release of Santana's LIVE AT THE FILLMORE '68 (Columbia Legacy C2K 64860 [CD]) under the title "Conquistadores Rides Again." The altered title is probably the result of a renewed copyright following Chico Hamilton's 1993 performance of the tune on DANCING TO A DIFFERENT DRUMMER (Soul Note 121291 [CD]) which only lists Hamilton as the song's writer.
