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. And after watching the solo, it means more when the drums blast back into playing "Soul Sacrifice". If you loved this, go back and watch the "longer" version.

Hi "Cheezer", totally! I became a "hobby"-Drummer because of Keith Moon, because I love those crazy non-stop fills and manic energy. But watching Michael Shrieve play was my second favorite drumming experience. Drum solos can be boring, but Shrieve made me love the drum solo too, but only when it is done with this kind of love and intensity.@@cheezer57

No they did have a contract. And had actually recorded their first album. It just had not been released yet. (Was in Dec 69) But you are 100% correct about being unknown. They had pretty much not played outside the Bay area by this point. So for the crowd to react the way they did says a lot about just how much energy they had on stage.

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.

L33, you need to see the longer version of this performance. Drummer Michael Shrieve had just turned 20 before this Woodstock appearance yet plays with an experience well beyond his years. The drum solo in the unedited performance has to be seen/heard to be believed. With the other 2 percussionists and the bassist all playing in unison to get that polyrhythmic beat going is simply pure seduction. No other word for it.

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"."

When Carlos and the band first got to the venue they thought they had 10 to 12 hours before they had to go on, so Jerry Garcia offered them some acid and they figured it was safe to take it!! Then they changed up the schedule and Santana had to go on much earlier than they expected and they were at the peak of their acid trip!!! Carlos said the neck of his guitar looked like a snake!!😮😮

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.

And The Who played the hardest version of Sparks I've ever heard.

Yes they were very young. Michael Shrieve was only 19 or 20, the second youngest person to appear on stage during the festival. One of the singers with She Na Na was a couple months younger. As many others have already stated, you really need to see the full length version with Michael's full solo.

Props to you Brother! You respect the music. So cool to be part of this in and all music in'69. You like, it would appear, like "live" input. Not at Woodstock, but a band that is known for one of the best live performances ever is "Grand Funk Railroad with a litfle song "Inside Looking Out" You owe to yourself, and we will be happy to watch! Keep up the good work.

Yo dude I was there! Still can't believe our parents let me and my twin brother go to this when we were only 15 years old. 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!!!! I think it altered my DNA!!

You did a great Jimi react from Woodstock! It was Monday morning concert goers so the crowd was a lot thinner at that point. The Who, Ten Years After, Richie Havens, Sly and the Family Stone. There’s more! Thank you again Lee!!

Saw Santana about 3 months earlier at a small college gym in Monterey, CA. They opened for a band called San Paco. All I remember is this amazing opening band. They blew the roof off.

Santana was working for Bill Grahm at the Fillmore in exchange for free practice time at the venue. They advanced to being the House Band. Bill was working with the Woodstock producers, and he got Santana into the event. The band paid $1.00 to be included in the film, best $1.00 ever spent. Look up the video of Carlos talking about playing at Woodstock.

The rest of the story is the band Chicago (Transit Authority) was invited to Woodstock. Managed by Bill Grahm also he booked them into the Filmore West and booked Santana into their spot at Woodstock. Before trying to make it in the music business find yourself a good lawyer.

My favorite rock tale is getting to accidentlally see them before their first album or Woodstock on October 6, 1968 in a free concert at Provo Park, Berkeley, CA (supporting Youngbloods, with Sons of Champlin & Frumious Bandersnatch) They were introduced as 'The Carlos Santana Blues Band' and had just recorded but not released their first album and my friend and I, extremely stoned, and everyone else there got to hear it all for the first time.

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
