Summary:
Recorded just over a year after Santana played its historic Woodstock Music & Art Fair performance, the band was fast becoming one of the biggest in the world. They were about to release their second album, Abraxas, and were riding high on the heels of three hit songs from their debut album and a new Top 10 hit, a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Black Magic Woman."
A year earlier - in fact only a few days before the Woodstock Festival - Bill Graham staged the first of several concerts billed as "The Fillmore at Tanglewood." Tanglewood is the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, and the storied venue had just begun to experiment with staging contemporary concerts on their grounds. Staging a rock concert in a classical venue had yet to be done, so of course the concept of doing so excited Graham. He brought the full-scale Fillmore East production team in, including the Joshua Light Show, and booked a great lineup. This first concert featured B.B King, Jefferson Airplane and The Who, and drew the largest crowd that Tanglewood had ever seen by far.
Buoyed by the event's success, Tanglewood and Graham agreed to stage three similar dates in 1970. The last of these is this show, when Santana headlined after The Voices of East Harlem and the legendary Miles Davis had played (you can hear Mile's set here).
This historic and beautifully recorded performance features a smoking performance by Santana in the last year of their classic lineup, before a young Neal Schon joined the band. We think you'll agree it's an incredible performance by a great band in their prime.

The best Latin rock music ever played in this planet

[@johnanderson8096]

[@gregm3406]

When a band would come out on a small stage and let it all hang out. When the crowd was totally into the music and not wasting time trying to film it with cell phones. The whole building was rocking in unison. A different kind of experience that is, unfortunately, long gone.

[@B4NDllKOOT_]

yes fucking sucks man i wanna be with these people right now

[@mdlsvensson]

Just pure energy. One of the greatest live sets of all time!

[@janote641]

[@ALAINBOISSEAU]

pure gold Santana music

[@drstihl2007]

As a little kid i was spinning the best of vinyl of my father without end. Then the years came by and my musical taste shifted and sometimes i wonder how i came from stuff like Santana do a die hard death metal fan. Well, that's because i forgot how the old Santana stuff was like, after being reminded again what Persuasion sounds like, my journey towards death metal does not surprise that much anymore.

[@karimemiranda6136]

[@bird-fan]

Super cool, Carlos! The night of August 18,1970 at Tanglewood would be the most exciting moments than ever. To Santana members ...from Japan with love.♡

[@scottdebnam9390]

Never in this day could a band match the enthusiasm and intensity shown by Santana and his band. He is definitely the bar that any band needs to reach to truly be on a level of his magnitude. Nothing we have experienced can match.

[@ThirdEye105]

The Power of Persuasion: All kinds of people feel, and claim that they have different kinds of powers and charms  and strengths, but one of the most important and the most noteworthy is the power of persuasion, the person who has the power of persuasion is a very very powerful person.

[@salvadorsevita6128]

OMG, so POWERFUL!

[@toddvanderheyden9774]

Yes

[@mtadams2009]

What a show this one must have been. On top of the great band Tanglewood is an incredible venue to attend a concert, just perfect.

[@davidmccall4776]

All that fringe reminded me of Sly a year earlier, at Woodstock. Good times!

[@thiseasathens]

a fantastic powerful performance.

[@kamala8883]

Always liked this song

[@dikbozo]

I had heard the audio of this before. The visuals show just how cramped and likely hot it was in the room. Packed, absolutely packed. The band kickin' it Old School, but it was New School. Smokin'. Just smokin', Start to finish and yeah, left them wanting more. Here after 54 years almost, I find I want more too. The visuals really reveal how the band played off each other, they interacted and fed each other to keep the groove. Oh and such grooves! The hottest rock band of the day. The hottest guitarist. Greg Rollie. That rhythm section that was irresistible. We are lucky to have this vital high quality recording of this band in their prime IMO. Their absolute best. Added to the archive. This one must be rewatched every August. Thanks, OP.

KZbin es un sitio web en el cual los usuarios pueden subir y compartir vídeos. Aloja una variedad de clips de películas, programas de televisión y vídeos musicales, así como contenidos amateur como videoblogs. Pero no me gusta que autofiltren contenidos comerciales y luego los "liberen", hundiendo así a los guevaristas que se rompen el o*to dando a luz secretos mínimamente molestos para quienes se pretenden llamar dueños y señores. Y tampoco me gusta que me obliguen a ver los spots de cualquier analfabeto político que no es banca de nada ni nadie.
