I saw them in '72 I think, The Charlotte Coliseum They came out, said hello for a minute or so, had a minute of silent prayer and never spoke during the concert! The music said it all.

[@tommarks3726]

I love that Carlos is not out in front of the band. He stays close to the amp in the back That one dude must have won the' play maracas with Santana " contest. He is so enjoying his moment HAHA They are ALL just having fun.

[@melanieredfield9736]

Not trying to knock today's artists because there are some very talented people out there; but... watching this explains why we aren't generally raving over rap, hiphop, and all of the new, digitally-enhanced music coming out today. None of that stuff even comes CLOSE to the artists of the 60's & 70's. Yes, we were spoiled!! But as you young people experience these gems as "new" for the first time, you get to feel exactly the way we did when they were new to all of us. The best part, is that 50 or 60 ywars later, we still get hyped up on this music; its that good! We feel you, Lee!

[@HareDeLune]

Spoiled *rotten!* 😅

[@realbser1956]

This was so good that I really have no words to describe it. Woodstock was iconic, this was otherworldly. 🔥

[@harrietmiller3982]

Totally agree! I love when young people discovering the great music from the past are not only blown away but jealous! Good reason for that🎶

Incredible performance. Pure essential visceral music.

[@damonhines8187]

Damn, I'm glad to come across this after always treasuring the Woodstock version. Several of' em were on acid there and it's to their credit that they held it together, met the occasion as they did. Michael made a huge impact then, just another percussion icon to file. Saw Carlos just once, touring the album he did with Mahavishnu John McLaughlin. Godlike performance by McLaughlin, drummer Billy Cobham, everyone. Great show. 😊🤙🏼🎶🍁❤️✨️🕊

My daughter saw Santana last week near Chicago and he is still going strong. They were all young there. It’s been over 50 years ago!! South American jazz and rock combined to make Santana a treasure in this whole world 🎶🎶 🌍💕🎸🎶🎶

Happy Birthday to Michael Shrieve. Never has so much been achieved with so little kit. The bass lays such a steady Grove. The whole Tanglewood concert was epic, but I love this one for its percussion to match Soul Sacrifice, "Savor/Jingo" kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYXGiaesgMype5Isi=lN6KP7rO5pep93Ef

Bill Graham was a German impresario and legendary rock concert promoter, who in the mid '60s to early '70s owned both The Fillmore and Winterland Arena in San Francisco. These venues became proving grounds for San Francisco Bay area rock bands and acts such as the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, and Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin. Graham also opened The Fillmore East, a companion to the Fillmore Auditorium and its successor, the Fillmore West, in the Lower East Side section of Manhattan, New York. During the summer of 1970, Bill Graham presented an extraordinary series of concerts at Tanglewood, the renowned classical music venue located in the scenic Berkshire Hills of western Massachusetts. At the time, presenting rock music in a classical venue was a surprising and precarious step to take. To many, hearing "The Fillmore" and "Tanglewood" in the same sentence equated to "when worlds collide." Much like his approach at the Fillmores, Graham's "Fillmore at Tanglewood" series presented diverse handpicked triple bills, but with the added advantage of a beautiful open-air venue, plenty of informal lawn seating, and the Fillmore East crew providing technical support. The 1970 Tanglewood concert series delivered outstanding rock performances, beginning with Jethro Tull and The Who (July 7, 1970), and closing with Miles Davis and Santana (August 18, 1970). Bill Graham presented another equally memorable night at Tanglewood right between those two concerts. On the evening of July 21, 1970, Chicago would become the last minute headliner on an impressive triple bill that, in typically diverse Graham style, featured openers, the New Orleans-based Preservation Hall Jazz Band and former Lovin' Spoonful leader, John Sebastian. Joe Cocker and his extravagant Mad Dogs And Englishman revue, literally the biggest rock act touring in 1970, were originally going to be the headline act on July 21, but Cocker was forced to back out just weeks before the gig due to the demanding logistics of his tour and his deteriorating health. In addition, despite Bill Graham's best negotiating efforts, Jimi Hendrix, then in the midst of studio sessions (sadly, his last ever) and immersed in managerial problems, was also unable to work the performance into his schedule. Some claim Hendrix may have suggested Graham contact the band Chicago, who were also living in New York City at the time, recording their third album.

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Never forget, Gregg Rollie, and Neil Schon, left Satanna, later in decade, to form their own band. That band was a little, tiny band , called Journey. Hope they did well. 😂 The Family Tree of music, is amazing.

[@richdiddens4059]

Gregg left Santana over differences in where the band was going and didn't co-found Journey for about a year or two. Neal Schon left and joined Azteka. It was a great band with lots of members but too many couldn't leave their day jobs. He got with Gregg after Azteka to form Journey. He was only 19 when Journey started.

Carlos Santana. Living legend still performing! Always surrounded by great musicians and always puts on a great show.

[@SANPARR1]

It's great to see your enthusiasm friend, Santana is a great show

[@sueprator9314]

Side note from a Carlos fan since we grew up in SF: his finest works are the instrumentals he created after his spiritual awakening. First 3 albums were the hard Latin rock ish stuff which were great. However please check out Caravanseri; Barboletta, Welcome, Moonflower, Blues for Salvador and others. They are intricate, transcendental, mystical and yet rhythmic and still latin-ish in influence. That whole period was his best in my opinion. Bass here: David Brown -went to my high school!

[@kathybwell]

Growing up in the Bay Area in 60-70s was so cool cuz we grew up with many rock legends. Mine was Ross Valory, bass player of Journey. We went to same HS, he graduated years before me but his younger brother and I were buds.

[@joeslish-p1p]

first 3 albums were the best

[@cindyfalstrom7231]

Michael was only 19/20 at this concert. Amazing talented kid.

[@jasonralph4286]

Something about the Hammond Organ with spinning Leslie horns sitting on top and the wild pulsating sound it makes is amazing. It's an organ sound like no other that you can hear in so many of these great late 60's, 70's rock songs. Lee Michaels, Leon Russell, Cactus, Vanilla Fudge, Deep Purple to name a few.

[@goonbelly5841]

It must be humbling for a young musician just getting started in the business to watch this video and realize how high the standard is if you want to be the best.

And the dude dancing around with the maracas is Carlo's brother.

[@IZZY_EDIBLE]

[@johnathanstruble1064]

Dan Rather interviewed Carlos, and went throughout the career, Woodstock, weed, etc ..at the very end Dan asked Carlos..." How would you describe your Music? ..Carlos leaned back and didn't answer quickly, then leaned forward, with a smile, answered...." My music is Delicious! " 😂😂😂😂

[@arizrich]

Great version!

[@harrietmiller3982]

👏🙌👌💯I was so loving your loving Michael's drum solo! Even the band thought this was the better performance over Woodstock‼️. I saw Santana a few months after their Woodstock coming out party. It was in San Francisco at the Avalon Ballroom which was a popular if small venue. No seating, everyone standing and dancing. I could Santana himself but the drummer was hidden from my view. Besides being blown away by Carlos, the percussion section, the drummer was so much more incredible than I had ever experienced and I never knew who he was until KZbin and walking back down the great music highway of my youth. Happy Birthday today to Michael, one of the world's greatest drummers🥁‼️

Ive said this on several of these older videos. There was something about the band all standing together in the center of the stage. It totally focused the energy out to the crowd. For some reason modern bands stand 50ft from each other on a huge stage. Totally kills the energy.

Amazing! This concert was played in 1970, that is 54 years ago next month. These young artists are now 'old' dudes. I can identify, I turned 25 in '70, and will be 79 in September of this year. Time is the great 'leveler' and 'equalizer' - everyone gets a turn at being 'old', the only requirement necessary is to live long enough. We can be grateful that these awesome musical events were taped or filmed, and that we can access them on KZbin anytime. There was no internet back then, or cell phones with cams; the only way to experience a concert like this was to attend in person or see it in a movie (quite rare). I watched a video about Michael Shreve on KZbin, the drumming prodigy who performed at both Woodstock (69) and Tanglewood (70). He turned 75 a few days ago, and you would not recognize him as he appears today.

[@L33Reacts]

He actually turned 75 the day I posted this video! I had no idea either. Just cosmic coincidence. :) thank you for watching! I wish I could have lived in that time. Truly.

Shrieve was a beast.... I loved Santana with Greg Rolie on keys.

[@will-x9c]

Mike was a legit super drummer but he didn't have a 'rock star" persona. He later said this was one of their best and his favorite gig. Chepito was a world-class timbalero. You should do Savor/Jingo from this concert. He owns it. Tanglewood is in Lenox MA. The Berkshires. A drop-dead beautiful spot. I live nearby. The Boston Symphony Orchestra played outdoor concerts there in the 1930's under a tent. One time there was a terrific storm and the tent collapsed and everybody got soaked. The patrons resolved to build an enclosure, took up a collection, and raised 100K which they offered to a famous architect. He was insulted by the low ball figure and said "For 100K you'll get a shed". It stands today, a roof on support beams and no sides. Open air. If you go there the air is permeated with the scent of citronella candles to keep the skeeters at bay. It was named after the famous BSO conductor Serge Kousssevitski but now shortened to The Shed. The name Tanglewood was taken from Nathaniel Hawthornes "Tanglewood Tales". He lived there in a small red cottage, also still there. At some point it was decided that so fine a venue should not be wasted on classical music and post-Woodstock Jefferson Airplane, the Who, Chicago, iron Butterfly and others did concerts there. I imagine that at this gig everybody within a ten mile radius experienced a contact high

[@franksullivan1873]

Talk about a groove,lol.

Was at Tanglewood two nights ago to see James Taylor. Nowhere near this energy, but, Tanglewood has a vibe of its own that feels like magic.

I saw Santana somewhere in Oklahoma around this time period. I can't remember the specifics too well; must have been some good weed.

[@stephenstrudwick8095]

Santana at Tanglewood....just about one year after their career making performance at Woodstock. They were enjoying the success of their debut album with three hit songs, had a new Top 10 hit with a cover of Fleetwood Mac’s “Black Magic Woman” and were about to release their second album, the amazing "Abraxas." This is the classic lineup of Santana, before a young Neal Joseph Schon joined the band. 🤓

[@36karpatoruski]

@@janetcarlson9960 Absolutely. By any objective musical performance measure, this was better. That takes absolutely nothing away from Woodstock which will always be seared in everyone’s memory as an iconic and emotional masterpiece. But the band was unquestionably tighter and more professional at Tanglewood. To state that the only one worth seeing is Woodstock is to limit the band’s greatness, and one’s own exposure.
