    This is a cover of a Fleetwood Mac song (the original band before Stevie, Lindsey, and Christine came aboard), from 1968. With Peter Green on vocal and guitar. Green wrote it and is considered on the same level as a guitarist as Carlos. Peter passed a few years ago.

      At Woodstock they got called up on stage earliwr than expected because another vand was running late and they were there.

      one thousand % the full length live versions of these bands. Santana has a UTube 80 min or so (partial ) concert with the 'Woodstock' band - Tanglewood (Boston ) .superb. also highly recommend - ' White Bird ' from Tanglewood, the band Beautiful day. ' Free Bird'. Oakland, Lynard Skynard band. also Utube highlight , 'Sultans of Swing'. London - Dire Straits.
      OF course the 'Woodstock' film covers a LOT. the Sat. afternoon show - Santana and Canned Heat.

    Carlos Humberto Santana Barragán is an American guitarist, best known as a founding member of the rock band Santana. Born on July 20, 1947 and raised in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, Mexico where he developed his musical background, he rose to fame in the late 1960s and early 1970s in the United States with Santana, which pioneered a fusion of rock and roll and Latin American jazz. Its sound featured his melodic, blues-based lines set against Latin American and African rhythms played on percussion instruments not generally heard in rock, such as timbales and congas. He experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim in the late 1990s. Hes done Latin rock, blues rock, jazz fusion guitar/ vocals.
    In 2015, Rolling Stone magazine listed Santana at No. 20 on their list of the 100 greatest guitarists. In 2023, Rolling Stone named him the 11th greatest guitarist of all time. He has won 10 Grammy Awards and three Latin Grammy Awards, and was inducted along with his namesake band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
    He learned to play the violin at age five and the guitar at age eight, under the tutelage of his father, who was a mariachi musician. His younger brother, Jorge, also became a professional guitarist.
    The family moved from Autlán to Tijuana, on the border with the United States. Carlos' rock and roll career started in the city park: Parque Teniente Guerrero, his mother took him to see the Tj's, the pioneer rock and roll band from the city. TJ (tee jay) is a nickname for Tijuana. They were formed by Javier Bátiz. At the age of 12, Carlos became a roadie and eventually he would join them as a bass player, bass because Bátiz was playing guitar. He later left so he could play guitar in another bar band. The Tj's and Bátiz turned Carlos on to blues music, especially that of T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Howlin' Wolf, and James Brown.
    The Santanas then moved to San Francisco, where his father had steady work. In October 1966, Santana started the Santana Blues Band. By 1968, the band had begun to incorporate different types of influences into their electric blues. Santana later said, "If I would go to some cat's room, he'd be listening to Sly [Stone] and Jimi Hendrix; another guy to the Stones and the Beatles. Another guy'd be listening to Tito Puente and Mongo Santamaría. Another guy'd be listening to Miles [Davis] and [John] Coltrane... To me it was like being at a university."
    Around the age of eight, Santana fell under the influence of blues performers like B.B. King, Javier Bátiz, Mike Bloomfield, and John Lee Hooker. Gábor Szabó's mid-1960s jazz guitar work also strongly influenced Santana's playing. Indeed, Szabó's composition "Gypsy Queen" was used as the second part of Santana's 1970 treatment of Peter Green's composition "Black Magic Woman", almost down to identical guitar licks. Santana's 2012 instrumental album Shape Shifter includes a song called "Mr. Szabo", played in tribute in the style of Szabó. Santana also credits Hendrix, Bloomfield, Hank Marvin, and Peter Green as important influences; he considered Bloomfield a direct mentor, writing of a key meeting with Bloomfield in San Francisco in the foreword he wrote to a 2000 biography of Bloomfield, Michael Bloomfield: If You Love These Blues - An Oral History. Between the ages of 10 and 12, he was sexually abused by an American man who brought him across the border. Santana lived in the Mission District, graduated from James Lick Middle School, and left Mission High School in 1965. He was accepted at California State University, Northridge and Humboldt State University, but chose not to attend college.

King said Peter Green was one of the few people who gave him the chills, and surely that is praise enough to be worth reacting to them.

    On the original Abraxas album, 3 tunes were recorded as a continual trilogy, "Black Magic Woman," then "Gyspy Queen" (which begins at the rhythm break at the end of Black Magic Woman), then, after the guitar "tone break" the band broke into "Oye Como Va." In later iterations, Black Magic Woman referred to the combination of Black Magic Woman and Gypsy Queen. The three tunes were written by three different songwriters: "Black Magic Woman" by Peter Green of Fleetwod Mac, "Gypsy Queen" by jazz guitar artist Gabor Szabo, and "Oye Como Va" by Latin jazz bandleader Tito Puente. Carlos Santana has always been influenced by jazz, especially Latin Jazz. His first drummer ( performing on this recording) was a young Michael Shrieve who was very much a jazz-type drummer. Santana has used jazz drummers periodically in his band, including Dennis Chambers, and Carlos' current wife, Cindy Blackman. Santana has used other jazz musicians, as well, including jazz pianist/keyboardist Alan Pasqua on Santana's "Marathon" album.

    Santana was one of the bands at my first concert; Cal Jam 2 - 1978...I was 15yrs9mos and my older brother lost me and I was there alone until Aerosmith finished. Then had to go to the track tunnel and ask "is anyone going to Berdoo?" Luckily someone spoke up quickly to give me a ride, and they live just around the corner from me. My Bro had an asthma attack, when he went to get us something to drink, and they sent him to the hospital.

    Carlos was such a clean and elegant guitarist and he became one of the most influential musicians of his generation. The original Santana band was characterized as "Latin/acid" with three drummers providing the power source. BTW, the cover art, the naked lady with the strategically placed dove, was by visionary artist Abdul Mati Klarwein

    My wife and I just recently saw him in concert and Santana can still jam out. Legendary guitarist that literally just sits and chews a piece of gum while playing his guitar like it's the easiest thing in the world. I wasn't born when he had first came out and started to get recognized. I was born in the late 80s and started to listening to his music in the 90s. I've been listening to him ever since. If you like this one, I would recommend, Smooth featuring Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20, Maria Maria, Game of Love featuring Michelle Branch, and another song (sorry I can't remember the song) that he did with the lead singer of Nickleback. Anyways, this is such a great song and great reaction y'all. Excited to see more reaction to this legendary guitarist.

    One summer when I was in high school, a bunch of us stoners were out on a road cruise. We came across a sign that said free music ahead. We wound up at a local ski hill called Little Switzerland. There was a stage setup, with people sitting on the ski hill watching the show. When we got there it was the Booze Brothers on stage finishing their set. Up next was Santana. We had an awesome time sitting on the ski hill watching Santana for free, stoned out of our heads! That was 1981. Those were the days

    Santana's sound was one of a kind. If you listen closely you can hear Rock, Jazz, Blues, Soul, Latin Salsa all mixed together in his style. Santana is the Guitar player but doesn't sing. Like others here have said it wasn't Bruno Mars but it was Rob Thomas and The song is Smooth. Also the song from Woodstock 1969 is Soul Sacrifice The hand drums are called congas or Bongos.

    Great reaction, Sam and Phil! Santana is a blend of Latin Rock. They were big in the 60s and 70s and had a large resurgence in the late 90s and 2000s. The Woodstock performance you mentioned is Soul Sacrifice. If you react to it, go with the longer version, not the short one.

    A little Tidbit: In 1973, Santana's former road manager, Herbie Herbert, recruited two of that band's members (Gregg Rolie and Neal Schon) and former Steve Miller Band bassist Ross Valory to form the Golden Gate Rhythm Section-the band that later became Journey.

    Congas, Bongos, Timbales, Cow Bell, Woods and standard Drum kit (Micheal Shrieve) are the back bone of the percussion section, then with the bass guitar you have the complete latin fusion rhythm section. On keys and vocals is Gregg Rollie [who went on to form Journey a few years later]... and Carlos Santana himself on guitar who is still performing to this day and lately back with Micheal and Gregg.

  • @harlanginsberg7269

    It's important to note this is Santana the band not just Carlos Santana. Their drummer Michael Shrieve is one of the best drummers in rock. The lead singer/organist Greg Rolie went on to co-found Journey and Jose "Chepito" Areas was an internationally reknown percussionist. This was a great band and Carlos Santana was a key component but thids whole band rocked

      Oddly they (Santana and Moore) were both big fans of Peter Green who wrote this song and invented Santana's sound years before Santana became famous with his song "Supernatural" on the John Mayall album "A Hard Road". Moore bought Green's Les Paul Greeny which is now owned by Kirk Hammett.

    Carlos Santana is a world-class guitarist and has fused a variety of musical genres over the years. Gregg Rolie is the lead singer here; after leaving Santana he helped form the band Journey. He also sang lead with Santana on the hits "Oye Como Va" and "Evil Ways' among others.
    Wonder if you're thinking of Rob Thomas from Matchbox Twenty, he sang with Santana on the hit "Smooth" in 1998 which was inescapable that year. It was on the album Supernatural which went 15 time platinum, and also featured another hit "Maria, Maria'.
