Drummer reacts to "Soul Sacrifice" (Woodstock) by Santana

I hope this video gets up! I had to redo this ( a year later ) since I had done the shortened version BY ACCIDENT... and that didn't go over well. So, I waited a year basically, and here we are. This is for Y'ALL! Enjoy the party!!

Santana was not due to perform until about 10 hours later at night, but they were thrust into performing that afternoon because another artist couldn't get to the venue on time. All of the Highways were closed because of all the people and cars driving to the festival. All of the Band members took LSD to get high and enjoy the concert, but when they unexpectedly were asked to go on immediately, they were all loaded out of their minds and hallucinating. Carlos Santana later said in an interview, that his guitar was turning into a long slithering snake, and it was "Blowing his mind." Same for the others in the Band. In the end, it turned out to be a fantastic piece of Rock History.

Indeed. I went to the 25th anniversary Woodstock event and got a small taste of the original - CSN and Joe Cocker performing, a sea of mud, the difficulty of navigating an enormous crowd of people. Whatever might have been the same about it, it still couldn't be the same. I stayed for about 15 hours and had had enough.

[@827dusty]

One of the greatest Rock performances ever recorded on video. The drummer is a guy I went tto High school with in Seattle. He was only 19 yrs old in this. Just a kid on the world stage.

[@jaycorby]

As you well know I'm sure, Michael Shreve is still living 55 years after this performance (he is 74 now), and looks nothing like this cute 19 year old 'kid on the world stage', as you put it. As with all of us, time - the great leveler and equalizer, has robbed us of our outer beauty. Fortunately, we may still retain that pure and youthful spirit within, uncorrupted by years of slugging it out in this putrid arena called the 'earth plane'.

[@richardmartin9565]

A couple of weeks before Woodstock, I went to the Boston Tea Party to see Savoy Brown. The 2nd performance was some unheard of band named Santana. Barely remember Savoy Brown. The Boston Tea Party was across the street from Fenway Park and only held a couple of hundred people. They had 2 stages. We sat on the floor and shifted on our butts when the bands changed. Santana was phenomenal that night.

[@jasonralph4286]

This is one of my favorite live performances. How could it not be? I was 16 and almost but not quite old enough for my parents to let me attend the festival. We lived across the Hudson River not far from where the three days of peace, love and music went down. One of my good friends who was a year older went. He was an even cooler cat when he came back . Those were heady times with all the famous groups hanging out and recording in and around the Hudson Valley, the Catskill Mountains and Woodstock. We were growing our own, avoiding the draft and trying to figure out what our futures were going to look like. A couple years later I fixed up my van, took a six thousand mile toad trip and ended up in Oregon for a few years following my friends rock group then went back to nature in Jackson Hole for Forty years. I've never forgotten how fortumate I was growing up. To be surrounded by amazing music and the super cool people who played it. It was a blessing.

Mike finally gets his due. Finesse and killer chops. One story goes that he had to get a note from his parents to skip school so he could play at Woodstock. I've seen varying accounts of his age, 18, 19, 20. For some reason he is rarely mentioned in the pantheon of super-drummers

You'll love this, that's for sure! One of the standout moments of this great movie/festival! 💗The heavy Latin Swing groove and all the percussion was, I figure, near revolutionary at the time.

Micheal Shrieve lives in Seattle, where I live and is a regular around town and drum shops. So young these drumming prodigies as was the other young drum prodigy, Jeff Porcaro. At 18 playing with Sonny and Cher and 19 with Steely Dan, Night by Night. His first recording was at 17 double drumming with Jim Keltner. He was still in high school.

[@louise_rose]

The short-lived jazz/rock/salsa band he had together with Wayne Shorter in 1988 is worth checking out too. It was launched half as a joke at a time when both his own and Shorter's recording careers were in a trough, although they had lost nothing as musicians - they decided to bring together several earlier/recent members of the Santana band and Weather Report (which Wayne had co-fronted up till 1985) plus Patrice Rushen, who played keyboards, along with Chester G. Thmposon, and helped re.arrange some of the tracks. Drumming by Ndugu Chancler and percusson by Armando Peraza and Chepito Areas. They never did a studio record, it was a live band only but what a band!! They are preserved on a superb gig filmed at the Montreux festival in July 1988 (dvd, , Santana/Shorter: Live at Montreux 1988), a gem of a show.
