Carlos Santana has written an open letter to Super Bowl bosses, criticizing them for not including iconic San Francisco acts in the half-time spectacular in nearly Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday.

The Latino guitar great provided music for the CBS telecast of the big game, but he was disappointed with Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars’ performances at Levi’s Stadium.

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you both (CBS and NFL officials) for including me as a part of your Super Bowl entertainment,” Carlos wrote on his Facebook.com page on Tuesday. “I do feel compelled to point out to you that the halftime show should have included some of the local iconic bands that the world would have loved to see perform.

“Bands like Metallica, Steve Miller, Journey and yours truly. We would have rocked the halftime show and done the S.F. Bay Area proud. This is just an invitation for you to consider iconic bands as part of your halftime entertainment. Real live music, real live vocals, and give the audience real live chills.”

The members of Journey agreed with Santana, sharing his post and adding, “Thank you, Carlos, and yes we would have all rocked it!”
