You need to hear the 3 minute longer version of this‼️. Why anyone would cut out the longer version of the drummer out? You owe it to yourself to watch on your own so you can appreciate just how great Michael is. I saw Santana in San Francisco at the Avalon Ballroom about 3 months after this. The stage was so low and so many people in front of me I could not see the drummer as no seating and everyone standing. I couldn't get over the drummer and never knew who he was until I saw this video! For a super groovy and hot live performance watch Santana and Rob Thomas perform Smooth live! It will knock your socks off. 🎶🎸💯

This is the "short" version of this Video. The longer version has the full drum solo. Shrieve played one of the greatest drum solos ever filmed, totally interesting and tasty.

Woodstock was incredibly disorganized, and the schedule went out the window early on. Santana arrived with their gear and were told they had about 8 hours to go before they went on. They decided that was a good excuse to drop some acid and watch the other bands perform. Maybe an hour or two later, they were suddenly told that they were on next. Carlos Santana was in the middle of an intense acid trip, and he played the whole set while hallucinating (as did the rest of the band). During his solo in Soul Sacrifice, he thought the neck of his guitar had turned into a snake that was trying to bite him, and he was wrestling with the "snake", trying to strangle it while playing the solo, which is pretty visible here.

Everyone was coming down from being high on acid during this performance, and it appears it made them play even better! "Before its release on their album, Santana, then a largely unknown band, performed "Soul Sacrifice" as their closing number at Woodstock. "They were the only act to play without a record; it was unparalleled. Santana went from Woodstock to being in global demand almost overnight". In several interviews, Santana recalled experiencing the effects of psychedelics during the performance, but got it together for the finale. "By the time we got to 'Soul Sacrifice', I had come back from a pretty intense journey. Ultimately, I felt we had plugged in to a whole lot of hearts at Woodstock"."

This was the final song of their introduction to the public, essentially. They were a local San Francisco band that had played gigs at Bill Graham's Fillmore West in SF--when Graham (one of the major promoters of the time and a real character, Holocaust survivor) was asked to help organize Woodstock, he recommended them to the promoter. So this was their national debut and they were legends instantly. I was at the show and when their record came out a few months later, I was stunned to realize they hadn't been around for years.

Somehow our older sister talked them into letting us go and drove us down from VT in her classic VW van. Anyway so glad you're discovering the raw radical vibe of the musical explosion that happened in the 60's! The Woodstock Festival was like the pinnacle summation of that whole era. And this performance does an excellent job of capturing the essence!!! I suppose it helped that Carlos, thinking they were scheduled to go on much later decided to drop acid (or according to some sources mescaline which has a very similar effect) only to be told a little later that they had to go on next. So he was just peaking during this performance!!! WOW! You can see it in his face when he's ripping that unbelievable solo. I'm still in awe how he was able to pull that off in front of a half a million people while tripping his brains out! However another performance I'd recommend would be Sly and the Family Stone. I was a huge fan of them back then and somehow managed to work my way down to about a quarter of the way back from the stage (no easy feat in a wall to wall croud of 500,000!) One of the defining moments of my life was when during a break-down of "I Want to Take You Higher" Sly got the entire half million people chanting HIGHER... HIGHER... HIGHER!!!!

That is the definition of a tight band! Especially during that ending!

The movie for this came out in 1970, I was 13, I so looked forward to it. I still have the vinyl 3 album set. This is a stand out performance. As others have said listen to the full version. I have seen Santana live several times. Always such a big rhythm section, to make that sound oh yeah. And that wonderful bass underlying it all. Yes there is heaps more to watch from Woodstock. Hendrix, 10 years after, Richie Havens. Etc etc

Micheal Shrive was the youngest performer at wood stock. He was 19!! I was so blessed to have been there up front at the stage. I was tripping like they were.

John Fogerty has at times introduced one of his guitar amplifiers as having been at Woodstock. 😊

There is a Woodstock move which is excellent Gives you a real feeling of being there. I was 20 years old back the living in Chicago and saw great bands all the time not knowing they most of them would become legends. So happy you enjoy it too!! Peace Janet Planet

They had their LSD that morning! There's an interview with Carlos out there where he talks about that set, it's amazing that they were able to play on that level. Thanks for doing what you're doing, I'm lovin' it😊
