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.

[@dennisdinorcia7407]

The greatest Santana lineup.

[@josemolina959]

I was there! Rode my bike from Southington CT. to see this concert.

[@PeterMayer]

Wow

[@dunebillyofswanbeach4294]

Tanglewood is a great place to see a concert,especially that one. It was worth your peddling.

Amen - many youtube videos of his amazing performances until he passed. In God's hands now and playing - every night!!!@@samisamsam4104

[@twentyonetwentysix]

Proudly from Nicaragua, Chepito Areas put the Latino flavor when Santana was initially doing blues.

[@ianmorton4136]

My favourite guitar player, drummer and keyboard player, all in the one band !!!

[@paulfalconer4988]

Couldn't agree more, Greg, Carlos and Michael Shrieve among the greatest trio in rock history.. Carabello and other percussionists are unbelievable too...

[@carlosmedrano9997]

Epic! The best Santana band in my opinion.

[@perseusrex614]

Not just your opinion, FACT! Even though Santana himself is a mediocre guitar player, he sure knew how to put a group together and put on a show!

[@gustavoreyes7261]

Sencillamente brutal, simple, sin complejos, directa, tremenda actuación de la banda original, sin duda alguna la mejor en toda la trayectoria de Santana.

The best Santana band in my opinion.wish they were still together.

[@btheaztec]

They did get back together and made one album. Also did a few concerts. Soul Sacrifice and Samba Pa Ti, live one youtube I think the concert is in Las Vegas. A couple of years ago

[@jeffwisener1378]

Watch "Journey through time" videos on youtube. Gregg Rolie and Neil Schon doing Santana songs...excellent

[@johnraymondflores]

check out Abraxas Pool ...... original Santana line up without Carlos.. great CD. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6LZZ2qabLJ-hdUsi=v-kTwWI2dssxUQqF

[@prestonburton8504]

the most 'underrated?' David Brown. Bassist that held the ensemble together - each was so independent - but he held it together. God bless him -

Vintage Santana with the original line-up. I still have the first 3 albums from that time and it's good to hear them again. Fond memories from halcyon days.

[@keiferreefer1]

Yeah, this is the original Santana band as far as I'm concerned, Abraxas was the first Santana album I ever heard and it just blew me a way, something totally new and different, but hot,,passionate stuff, tight, the live show is really tight, so close to the feel of that album, but come to life , live and rockin. Got to credit the genius use of percussion, and the players, man they strike up some rhythms and hold em down, the bass just keeping that solid bottom, wild musical transformations. Wonder how Carlos has all those, I think Fender Twin reverbs, like 6 of em, wonder how they're set up, he gets that signature sound ya know

Chepito, in 1970!!!, crushing it, killing it, opening the brains to a fantastic sound from the people of Nicaragua. Should've been there but I was in High School, no internet, so I didn't even know this concert was happening. What a joy, too bad he and Santana could not resolve their differences. Just tragic.

Not many bands did this and not ever ... this is what bands should aspire to do

[@keristly]

The way Carlos describes Chepito's timbales playing in his book sounded so right: he said something like.. it's tall steel reinforcement pillars that hold up sky scrapers and that's what his perfect spot on tempo and whatever the other technical terms is!

[@felixnorman9562]

Chepito was my teacher, here in LA

[@danielemignano6774]

In the words of Miles Davis what a motherfuker CHEPITO is here soloing .... I've always been a firm believer that it doesn't matter how technically brilliant you are or how will you can compose music play within or between the notes and you are an absolute genius makes no difference when your sewing it is got to do with your heart and how you feel in your soul and express it with animalistic Style to me he expresses that style in this solo that's not taking away he's Integrity as a musician but I think it takes a great musician to be able to put money and bit his soul will take him to his destination and rely on it and trust it enough to do so he is with the spirit there brother is with the spirit there there ain't no doubt about that from the very first hit you can tell he means business beautiful absolutely beautiful add powerful
