Santana - Soul Sacrifice - 8/18/1970 - Tanglewood (Official)

[@BBQDad463]

When I am confined to my rocking chair, old and feeble, and compelled to watch my days dwindle down to a precious few, if nothing else, I will be able to say with pride that we rocked out loud in the Sixties and Seventies. Nothing since has equaled what we had. No Autotune, no pitch correction... They did not need it. Just boatloads of raw, pure, unadulterated talent. I wish I had a time machine so I could take you young folks back to witness those days live, real, in person. Then you would know what a real band sounds like. Thank goodness these videos remain to give you some sense---a taste, a feeling---of what it was like.

[@Bill_Jones.]

And just think…today there’s a boatload of auto tuned hip hopsters to entertain the masses. There’s no musical component to it, just look at me ain’t I somethin’ celebrities. Somebody turn the clock back 53 years.

I arrived in San Francisco California 1970, right in there at the mission district where the majority of latinos lived. I felt that there was a strong social movements in the so so called chicano studies and Carlos Santana was our number one representative. His music was so revolutionary or different from anything at that time. We were and are so proud of this music, our music. His band was Hispanics, white, black. I met the timbales/conga player from Nicaragua Chepito Areas, he was awesome with his playing. It was an empowerment for all of us at that time. Thank you, Santana, there is not anything like you ever.

The percussion players drive the song, Santana gets his little portions, shrieve with his drum solo, and even rolie gets a little organ solo while maintaining himself as a backing to the song. Can’t forget David brown also kind of holding up the song together on bass with the percussionists.

Trap drummers can glance the cymbals - I have one cymbal that’s splattered with my blood and it’s still there after decades . We used to play for 8 hours - and if you’re in a band , you should be able to play at least 4 hours straight - don’t want to crap out after a measly couple of hours

Michael Shrieve remains, to this day, the best drummer I've ever enjoyed listening to. A rhythm god. There may be more technically skilled drummers, but they tend to lose the groove (a.k.a. the whole point) of a tune. Shrieve NEVER lost it. EVER. Stunningly in the pocket all the time. And that's just one guy- this was a whole band so in the pocket and so full of talent- Santana, Rolie making magic on the keys, Brown holding it down, and- of course- Chepito and Carabello never get enough credit for being an integral part of the rhythm band.

[@oceansoul421]

Tight playing, crazy intensity and a real crowd igniter, you cannot fail to find the groove and start dancing. The drum solo never fails to excite, the instrumental breaks are nearly a side show. The drummer is something else making more sound out of a relatively small kit than others do with much bigger and more complex sets. However the tune just becomes a musical incendiary when Carlos and Gregg start interplaying in the second half. Why can't modern day players match the skills these guys show?

Musicians today, with all the high technology that lets them record, refine, never see each other as individuals record over earlier tracks, etc. have just lost a lot, I think. The energy BETWEEN the band members, feeding off each other, responding to each other, and the ability to do it LIVE and to perfection...amazing, and it will be hard to get back to these days. I love a lot of modern drummers, but Michael Shrieve's sound with the most basic of drum kits is something to behold.

[@jefffreeman7695]

This song changed my entire view of music when I first heard it in 1969. Still today whenever I listen to it I feel exactly the way I did then. Just amazing.

If I witnessed this live, I would think I'd died and gone to heaven. So incredible and passionate. They don't make music like this anymore. It is a privilege to see such talented musicians. This version is even better than the recording and the drum solo is even better than Woodstock. Early Santana was the best and took Latin music to the mainstream. Love Santana always 🇦🇺

Le meilleur concert du groupe Santana avec le meilleur combo. Pas besoin de se concerter, chaque musicien connaissant parfaitement sa partition et comment être en symbiose avec le groupe, Carlos Santana n'étant plus qu'un membre du groupe. Fantastique concert, inoubliable à tous les points de vue. Nous étions adolescents et ce fut une époque bénie pour la musique pop, quelque chose de spécial était dans l'air et les musiciens n'avaient qu'à le saisir pour donner le meilleur d'eux-mêmes en tant qu'artistes. Je rends hommage à notre grand du quartier Mozart Bafubungi qui nous a montré le chemin du vrai GROOVE et surtout d'être ouvert au monde. Grâce lui soit rendu parce que disparu trop tôt dans un accident d'avion en faisant le métier de sa passion : pilote. Puisse-t-il là où il se trouve se connecter à nous et apprécier ce concert.❤❤❤❤❤❤

This has to be one of the most intense, vibrant jams that ends with a hammer blow. The band is on fire, but I have to give to Michael Shrieve. One of the greatest drummers.
