Santana - Soul Sacrifice - 7/2/1977 - Oakland Coliseum Stadium (Official)

[@ricardochavez1244]

Santana had one of the greatest percussion section of his time

[@brianholihan5497]

I think that Yamaha is the best electric guitar Carlos has ever played. More cajones than his earlier SGs and more warmth than his later PRSs.

[@planetmusic11]

Moonflower is one of the 5 best live albums in rock music history

[@klasseact6663]

Couldn't agree more👍👍

[@josephgaxiola219]

For Sure one of the greatest

[@pabloduran8100]

Moonflower's Europa is a jewel

[@homoerectus744]

Oh?!

[@NXDC9]

The live tracks are simply fantastic. Just wish they made it into a full double live album.

[@ArjanBeudeker]

I heard this song, plus(!) dromsolo in 1977 on the radio in th Netherlands; from that moment I thought: I want to be a drummer! I bought several drum sets and I play rather okay but ended up with a lead guitar for soloing. A month ago I found this record and I play it now and then: that drum solo: wow!!! It still imposes me ... !! GREAT!!

[@michaelgreen2283]

Some phenomenal musicians have graced the Santana line up over the years. Keyboards.. Gregg Rolie, Tom Coster, Chester Thompson....Percussion... Raul Rekow, Karl Perazza, the incredible Aramando Peraza, Drums... Michael Shrieve, Graham Lear... Bass David Brown, Dave Margen, Alphonoso Johnson,. Benny Rietveldt, the list goes on and on......

[@gezuz69]

THAT WITHOUT DOUBT SPEAKS BETTER CARLOS, BECAUSE IT WAS SURROUNDED AS A WELL-SAID MUSIC GENIUS, OSEA WAS NOT ENVIRONMENTAL

[@jean-michelbouvier213]

Yes Michael... C'était du très lourd..ce qui se faisait de meilleur dans cette musique fabuleuse ! Chaque fois que j'entends ça.. je cherche immediatement ma bécane..ma vieille basse Peavey Cirrus 5strings.. .. et la frangin... si par bonheur elle traîne à portée de main ✋.. alors c'est la fête et la vie redevient belle..! Et merde quoi...qu'a t'ont fait de mieux depuis...? Sinon grand merci d'avoir rappelé des noms de véritables musiciens bourrés de talent et habités par leur art ! Que vive éternellement la zik, un des seuls vrai moyen de communiquer avec la planète entière et de manière pacifique.. Pourquoi.. parce qu'elle est tout simplement mais fondamentalement UNIVERSELLE ! Du blues et du blues... un cadeau pour l'humanité..un leg dont je n'oublie jamais qu'il vient de la terre africaine.. Que dire de ce précieux don... Il est salvateur parce que nourricier..! Jim..bass player.

[@catelewis7223]

Thankyou for taking the time to honour them all by name. Santanas music takes you somewhere else and the musicians that accompany him are truly amazing.❤

[@johnny4blues]

What an incredible version!! Just a bit too fast, but does it really matter? Outstanding drummer too, Graham Lear: one of his best performances I believe. Michael Shrieve was the drummer who performed the famous, legendary solo at Woodstock. Great drummers both.

[@jonathanandrada1807]

Johnny 4blues funny story is that when I was a kid I thought Michael shrieve and Graham learns were the same person 😂😂 well they both kinda look alike...but that's just me bro ..peace ✌❤

[@johnny4blues]

@@jonathanandrada1807 Well. let's say nowadays it's easier to understand who is who, thanks to youtube... If I couldn't see the video, I'd have a hard time recognizing them too :)

[@jiveassturkey8849]

Wow I thought they were the same person.:: they look so much alike

[@Charlesb88]

At Woodstock, the band was all high on LSD. Maybe this time they were all high on Speed and that’s why this versions tempo is so fast?

[@rong.7768]

Best performance of Soul Sacrifice was in Woodstock and long version in Tanglewood!

[@axla8251]

That Tanglewood version is my all time favorite. Even the crowd was way into it

[@nyterpfan]

The Royal Albert Hall version is also spectacular--(David Brown on bass is PHENOMENAL!!)

[@eduardovillacis432]

For me its the one in the live album Moonflower

[@josecuellar9491]

Santana's music is so potent that those peavey's are on fire! literally 2:40 - 2:45 the amp in the back is on fire

Wow! It's beautiful with a faster tempo too!

[@tatozy]

Pour moi l'une de mes musiques préférées de Santana, c'est cette 2ème partie (qu'on entend à partir de la fin du solo de batterie sur l'album moonflower). C'est un plaisir d'entendre ici cette autre version live. Santana at his best !!

[@RobertVeasquez]

A great performance but equally as great, was the audio production....it’s stellar! The SGs and Yamaha that Carlos used, I miss sooo very much. The PRS guitars just don’t have that bite! IMO

[@florislok]

True!

[@giulianoferrari2278]

This is music!!!

[@adc2327]

Wow. By 1977 no original members. That original line up will always have a place in my heart. The Oakland Coliseum. Over the years it has seen some of the most phenomenal music ever. Both outdoors and indoors. Now it's a mess.

[@michaelsmith2733]

wasn't michael the drummer an original? He was at woodstock, and what a drummer.

[@adc2327]

​@michaelsmith2733 Is that Michael? Looks different to me. Since I am almost as old as these guys, you know I need glasses! 😅 If it's Michael , yes he is part of the original line up.

Good Lord, Graham's solo here is even better then the one he did on Moonflower (and that one was impressive). I'm a drummer and have been listening to that album since '77; but this solo is amazing! And cool how they put in Verao Vermelho after the drum solo (more so on the Moonflower version).

[@santanafan1713]

I can imagine hardly anybody notices Carlos goofing up at 7:59. I only noticed it because we play the Moonfliower album version of SS in my Santana tribute band, which looks a lot like this. Granted Carlos will never play a solo exactly the same twice the mistake lies in him falling out of sync with the chord progression. You see bass player David Margen look to his right a bit surprised and with a slight WTF grin, but then immediately turn the other way and move away from Carlos, rapidly changing his facial expression with a look on his face like " oh fuck I hope he didn't see me laugh ". Which probably is a smart move because in spite of Carlos always coming across very calm and sereen in interviews, he is known to have quite a temper in the band and it didn't take much to piss him off. Well Carlos just keeps pushing forward and it's clear that whenever he makes a mistake he expects the band to adjust to him , which they, as true professionals of course do. Most likely the crowd didn't even notice.

[@andrewmell0r251]

Good spot...very rare he drops a bollock :D

[@santanafan1713]

@@andrewmell0r251 I agree. During the last 5 years I think I've studied pretty much every Santana Live video on youtube just to try and learn how to play and sound like Carlos for my band. i've come across some slip ups but they are few and he masters the art of working his way back in place without the mistakes ruining the song he's playing....and the band anticipates perfectly. Proof of a lot of experience, skill and professionalism. What I also learned from it is that whenever you miss a note or slip up....never show it in your facial expression ....just keep on smiling and playing as if you meant to play it that way....only nitpickers like me will notice LOL.

[@klasseact6663]

Wild Cherry....surely!
