SUPER DRUM SOLO!! | Soul Sacrifice Live At Woodstock - Santana (Reaction)

Great job! You are one of only a few who showed the full version, unedited, un shortened, with full drum solo. This is sooooo good. And of course there is the story that Carlos Santana, on guitar, was hi on acid during this. Check out the full story.

I'm glad you did the "longer" version with the entire drum solo, even if it still isn't the full version. The second organ solo is missing here. The full version is about 12 minutes. You can find it on YT but only as audio without any footage.

Santana's 1st album was still 2 weeks from being released so nobody knew who they were on this day. They did leave with 400,000 new fans tho!! Wonderful performance and reaction. Also need to do Joe Cocker's Woodstock performance of "A Little Help From My Friends". His backup singers couldn't get to the stage on time so his guitar players had to do the backup vocals!

I like it already: You found the proper drum solo one, which few do! Thank you also for getting the volume gain high enough ... sometimes it's low. A super band listening to one another.

[@MotivatingInspiration]

Carlos Santana said most everyone in the band had taken LSD just prior to this performance. Santana said that he was hallucinating that his guitar was turning into a snake and was all he could do to control it! Lucky us....What a Great Live Santana footage. Just great. And yes that Drummer was All Over the Place.,

[@PriestessOfNothing]

You absolutely know Santana when you hear him, there's no mistaking the Latin sound in his playing. He had a huge song in the 90s called "Smooth" with Rob Thomas from the band Matchbox 20 singing on it. Worth checking out for sure.

[@sueprator9314]

But his best music came after his first 3 hard rock albums, when he became spiritually awakened....and way before "Smooth." His albums: Caravanseri, Barboletta, Welcome, Oneness, Moonflower, Festival - especially the instrumentals were his finest works in his career. His music became transendental, intricate fusion, depth of a spiritual journey. Check it out.

[@patrickvecchio8138]

The highlight of the entire festival,in my opinion.

[@cravinbob]

Woodstock Music and Art Fair. The promoters were in over their head and called Bil Graham to come help and he said he was bringing a band he managed to perform in exchange, Santana. Over time Santana has employed 70 different musicians but not all at once.

[@Pamgria]

Thanks for posting/reacting to the entire video. I never tire of watching this performance.

[@jjflash1645]

One of the best from Woodstock. I, unfortunately, just got back home that weekend, after being overseas for 9 months when I was in the Navy, and had no idea what was going on so I missed the whole thing. THANK YOU for play the whole thing without stopping to make some comments (like so many reaction losers do).

The late sixties it became obligatory for the bands drummer to a solo at least once a night.

[@squidkid2]

The "dude on the guitar" is the legendary Carlos Santana, with Greg Rollie on the cosmic Hammond B3 organ and a 20-year-old Mike Shrieve on drums. The fact that Carlos plays guitar solos for the ages here is even more remarkable because he was tripping out at the time on LSD and he said the neck of his guitar looked like a rubber snake!

[@ptrlxc]

They weren’t supposed to be on stage at this time; they were scheduled for later in the day, but other groups that were supposed to be on were stuck in the huge traffic jam that half a million people developed. So they were pushed on the stage. Which at the time their acid trip just kicked in just as they got on stage.

[@AliasMark69]

Your next Santana must be the two songs played Back To Back every time for decades on the radio. the way MILLIONS of us heard it a thousand times.....SANTANA - Black Magic Woman / Oye Como Va...... And Please put all three of your Santana videos in the same Playlist. Thanks

As far as I am concerned this was the best lineup that Santana ever had: Carlos Santana, guitar and cowbell; Greg Rollie, organ and maracas; Dave Brown, bass; Michael Shrieve, drums; Mike Carabello, congas; Jose 'Chepito' Areas, congas and timbales.
