I have always had the impression that the grin Carlos gives at the end was to Micheal Shrieve. He knew it was magic.
That’s awesome! I can run with that!
The guy pointing out to the audience, to Greg Rolie, as he walks off, is legendary promoter, Bill Graham. He was responsible for getting Santana the gig..He owned both the Fillmores, and was responsible for so many bands successes back then..He was hardcore, and didn't suffer fools, (brought up in an orphanage in the Bronx, after his family escaped the Nazis just before WW2 broke out) but he was able to recognize talent when he saw it.
Yes thank you for pointing that out!
This is the first time I watched your reaction videos. You make a great team.
I was living in the Haight-Ashbury in the great Summer of '67. Santana wasn't
well known then except to other musicians in the Bay Area. A guitarist named
Rob (an alias) told me this story: At either the Avalon or Fillmore none other than
Janis Joplin promoted his band called "The Arc". I never heard of him although
we lived in the same town of Pacifica but went to different high schools. Rob
blew his chance with Bill Graham because they stole some of Santana's
equipment. Although "The Arc" had talent, they were blackballed from playing
in the Bay Area for 20 years! I went to high school with Rob's sister-in-law.
Years later we met up here in Nevada, after his common law wife kicked
him out. By coincidence, my cousin Bill Pahlka was a roadie for Carlos for
three years. I called Bill up and said "Hey, Bill, do you still talk to Carlos?"
"Yea, whenever Carlos and his wife gets into an argument, he calls me."
"I got a guy here who says he stole some of Carlos equipment,"
"Yea, which time was that?"
In another coincidence, a former singer said she knew a guy who stole
Carlos' guitar. He kept it for 20 years then thought, "How can I sell it? It has
his name on it?".
So he found Santana's address and mailed it back with an apology.
My cousin Bill said the hardest part of his job was to make sure the band
members didn't become too drunk or stoned to make the next gig. Everyone
wants to get them stoned or drunk. I watched many bands with good potential
break up because of ego, stealing another member's girl or some silly reason.
Rob told me, the leader of the band told him to sleep with the groupies or
he'd be out of the band. He did and his wife found out when she heard two of them talking in the ladies room.
Rob just had little moral character, he was in it for the wrong reasons. He
was so depressed when he lived at my place, I wanted to tell him the reason
he didn't 'make it' was he didn't have the guts. His original songs were trash
but he could imitate any living guitarist. I was going to write lyrics for him
but he'd probably would have ripped me off. He would help people if he had
a steady income but when he was down on his luck, watch out! In a cut-
throat business like show business, honesty is the best policy.
Should check out the longer (film) version..A lot better..Drum solo is much longer..It's the one that is like 9:38/39 min. long..Believe it, or not, imho their Tanglewood performance from a year later, was even better. But, for the stories, and significance of this one, this is more special..I saw the film when it came out the following summer. I was 13. A neighbor friend, who was an usher, let me and a friend in the side door..It basically changed my life..I always say, there should be a law for everyone to see the film on the big screen..It is a totally different experience..Believe me!..A little trivia: A young Martin Scorsese was part of the film crew.
Thank you for sharing that!!! I agree the tanglewood performance is top notch!
💯 that drum solo is epic 🔥🔥
I was 17 and had the same experience.
I love that you admire, acknowledge, appreciate and respect old rock musicians, being an older person myself. Music connects.
Thank you!
The keyboard player Greg Rolie was founder of rock band Journey along with Neal Schon.
Yesss! Absolute legends!
The full version of this is much longer, this has been heavily edited
Thanks, sad that YT doesn’t have the full version 😞
@@gozaband I've seen the long version on YT. And if you can't find it, there are other reactions out there that use it, so you can see it there.
Santana had the best percussion players in the world back in the day. Aloha!!!!
So true!!! Aloha!! 🤙🏼
I saw them at least 100 times in San Francisco, and they were that good every time.
Wow!!!!!
To put this performance into perspective. The audience reaction is off the chart for a band no one in the audience had ever heard before or even hear about. Their first album wasn't released until a couple of weeks after this gig.
I am 70 but what I would give to be able to play the guitar or the drums just for one day in front of an enormous crowd like this. It must be electrifying.
Absolutely!!! It’s our dream too!
This make your soul elevate out of conciousness level
Every performance at Woodstock was a personal and collective best!
Santana III with Carlos and Neal Schon is one of the finest Latin rock albums of all time!
Agree! We will try to get through all the Woodstock performances eventually!
The night session of Woodstock with Santana was incredible too. Being to technical will destroy the gift of being natural & spiritual musicians, like Yall said they were all in snyc & complimented each other. Too bad for the drugs, but it was a magical performance & perfect timing for Santana to be put on the world stage , loved your reaction & takes
Y'all have made the most powerful take on this amazing performance, yes, primal,hitting on the same page, feeling energy, on the world's greatest stage at the time,it's all about the love of music people, nothing more,feed off this
DE AUTLÁN, JALISCO, MEXICO; PARA EL MUNDO!!!
Santana .. Batuka/ No one to depend on Santiago 1992 , thank you for reacting to the music of my youth it was like a refuge for us .
Thank you for sharing!!!
Unfortunately this is the short version in which most of the drum solo is edited out.
Gosh so unfortunate why would they do that 😭
THank you reacting to my guitar idol!!! VIVA SANTANA!
Thank you for sharing the background. Most of those who react to this performance don't bother to research the background. I have heard Carlos Santana tell the story himself. Every other performer at Woodstock had already released an album, except for Santana. But the organizers of Woodstock needed Bill Graham's help. And Bill would only lend his help if Santana were allowed to play. The rest is history. Yours is the best reaction that I have seen to this legendary performance.
I love that finally, humans are beginning to learn how to play musical instruments and writing music, and as soon as we can combine people that can sing, without electronic Auto-Tune, we will begin to make amazing music again, like back in the 70s
That was a great breakdown! Love you guys
Thank you bro!!
Micheal Shrive was the youngest performer at Woodstock at 19. I was there up front for this outstanding piece of music history. They closed with Fried Neck Bones and some Home Fries. Great song a must listen!!
Wowowow luck you!!! What an experience!
Greatest music video EVER! LISTEN TO THE LONG DRUM SOLO VERSION ❤
I was 17 when the movie came out and when I saw this my life changed and I beat those drums harder than ever.
Yessss still inspiring drummers to this day!!
🇨🇦 This was the last song played in their set ! The set was 11 or 12 songs ! 🇨🇦
Yesss! You can see they walk off stage!!
Nope, their last was after this. It was Fried Neckbones
It was famous San Francisco concert and rock promoter Bill Graham [who you see at the end of the video talking to Gregg Rollie pointing at something over his Leslie speaker] who was the talent coordinator for Woodstock who brought Santana to NY along with all the other Bay Area acts to play at this legendary festival.
Bill was basically chief band manager who guided Santana to write their own music early on after doing covers for so long in the club circuits and gave him a venue (Fillmore West in SF) to work the songs out.
Santana had just finished recording their debut album by this point but release date was set for a couple weeks after the Woodstock weekend. Talk about planning and timing to create a buzz before your first record comes out... Bill knew what he was doing and the rest is History.
FIND THE 9+MIN VERSION ON RUclips .. ALL OTHERS ARE CUT ..
Such sacrilege 😭 😭
Great stuff !!
I really liked how you guys reacts about Santana. I would like to hear your reactions on Taboo and toussaint overture songs from Santana Album #3
Greg Rollie on the Hammond B3 organ would later cofound the band Journey with guitarist Neal Schon who also played for Santana in 71-72.
YESSSS!
Yes, the acid story, snakes and all, is all true. Carlos confirms it himself in multiple interviews. National tv and everywhere.
So crazy!!! Thanks to sharing!
🇨🇦 The Best drummer ever was the 'Professor', Neil Peart ! As evidence, I offer you his Drum Solo from the RUSH Concert in Frankfurt, Germany ! 🇨🇦
Was lucky enough to see him on the last show of their very last tour. Absolute genius
Santana's first guitarist(rhythm) was neil shonn of journey...same as this key board player....he went on to join neil in journey
Hello, you two know the technicalities. I suppose you also know Shrieve's performance is abbreviated in this video. Yesterday found a long version reaction. It can be found in the Woodstock movie taping.
Carlos did an interview which is on Y/T saying that he was supposed to play much later and took acid. Not long after taking it he was told that he had to go on much sooner. He said it looked like the guitar neck was a snake.Im not sure about the other band members. The interview was called Santana's acid trip i believe
As I was told by Carlos himself at another festival Jerry Garcia offered them some LSD 2 which they gladly took. They were not supposed to go on till that night seven hours later and then they were told they would be up next about 45 minutes later. I was at Woodstock, and he asked me if i notice him watching the neck of his guitar a lot. I told him yes, I did and thought it was kind of weird. Carlos told me that it was moving around like a snake, and he was trying to get it under control. He said thank God for muscle memory and God or it would have been a disaster!!!!
Wow!!!!!! 🤩
I don't believe that legend no matter how many times it's repeated. Carlos was right on the money timing wise, as well as not making any wrong note selections. The whole damn band was locked in tight. No way these guys were under the influence of hallucinogens.
@@TheNoncritical1Your opinion. I’ve been touring musician for 50 years. I have played under the influence. Your music gets so ingrained in you that at those times it’s more muscle memory.
Santana is a phenomenal artist. I’m 60 today, and to this date I’ve never seen the full documentary of the 1969 Woodstock Event.
Check out Santana’s 1980 classic “Winning”, a real motivational song. Also, if you check out the film documentary of the 1969 Altamont Speedway Event, you will witness a Hells Angels mc member stab a guy to death for pulling a gun on Mick Jagger.
Not the complete drum solo.
I know 😢 😢 damn RUclips and record labels cutting it short!!!!
@@gozabandthe full video is out there. Just got finished watching another reaction to the full length one.
there was a band called iron butterfly and they did a song in a good da vida and that has a n amazing drum solo. late 60s band. worth checking out
notice carlos is in the back, its not about him, its about the music, no ego
Yessss very true!
Nice observation!!
@@danyelaru489 check woodstock and tanglewood, same thing, in the back
It wasn't a 'make it or break it' moment for Santana - they'd only formed in late 1966 and secured their first record deal in 1968. Their first album was ready but yet to be released. This was their breakthrough - quite fast actually compared to most of their peers.
Thank you!!!
The BAR NONE BEST version of this is at Tanglewood Live!!!!!!
Love the performance too!
You need the loooong version!
They were all tripping on LSD -- not to take anything away from the performance -- but it clearly added to the magic.
This is edited version that cuts out most of Shreve’s drum solo. Idk anyone would do that, but they did.
As others have said....you need to listen to the long version of the drum solo. If your mind is blown now just wait.
Oh, yeah--bongalero Chepito Areas is an admitted child. He's off my Cool List.
Wow that is so disturbing! I did not know that 😞
Every time I watch someone react to this video.... and the camera pans out at the end... I just wish I'd had the chance to be there (18 that year) with those hundreds of thousands of music - loving souls. Yeah, it was a big mess and logistical nightmare and it rained buckets on the 3rd day. Alas, I was 200 miles south of San Fran and could only read about and see news footage of this crazy thing called... Woodstock!
Hmm. I think no one's mentioned it yet, so I'd better mention that organist here Gregg Rolie later went on to form Journey with future Santana member Neal Schon. Schreive is still out there, and still theoretically active as a drummer, though he hasn't recorded in a few years. He liked his Tanglewood performance on this better, too, he says.
Yesss we have to do some Journey next!!!! We’ve been trying to contact Schreive for an interview but no dice 😞
Totally unknown on the west coast. You obviously know about Carlos fighting the snakes ie strings. Great knowledge guys !!!!
Hey ! Guys try the complete version ! This Is small version !!
The best lineup Santana ever had.
Carlos Santana - guitar, vocals, maracas, cowbell.
Gregg Rolie - vocals, keyboards, maracas, tambourine, jingle bells.
Jose "Chepito" Areas - percussion, trumpet.
Mike Carabello - timbales, congas, percussion.
Michael Shrieve - drums.
David Brown - bass.
React to Song of the Wind from the album Caravanserai.
This is the short version. There’s a longer one that’s even better.
Ok we will check it out!!!!
In case anybody's interested, here's a link to the longer version of "Soul Sacrifice" from Woodstock 1969 (includes the longer drum solo):
ruclips.net/video/sSp05euvRNU/видео.html
From the original Woodstock, you may wish to try (if you haven't already done so): Ten Years After "I'm Going Home," Sly and the Family Stone "I Want to Take You Higher" and "Dance to the Music," heck, just watch the movie and pick out your favorites!
Must see the linger version with the MUCH longer drum solo. Will blow your mind!
I agree with the "danger" thought. They're still standing on the cliff but they aren't right at the edge of it now. That being said though, still a damn good performance
Thank you for watching and thank you for your comment!!! Well said!!!
You could at least react to the complete version since you've watched it a thousand times. The drum solo is cut short in this one. Amazing performance!
when your 20 years old playing in front of 300,000 people.
You have the edited version of the drum solo,, too bad maybe next time... Yea the 60s was the time to experiment & who knows where we all may`ve landed, but one thing history knows Carlos and his compadres landed on that stage ready to jam people and they didn`t hold back... practice, practice, practice was whipped into us by my Ma , instructors & we didn`t have the outside influences to distract us perhaps, so keep on rockin & giddyup GOZA
Believe Carlos has said in an interview (findable on RUclips) that he took some psilocybin; trying to control the guitar neck which was occasionally turning into a large, muscular, writhing snake! He didn't freak out, had his brain under control, but was praying to his god to let him play every note perfectly! So glad for the sound engineers at Woodstock who did a masterful job under very raw conditions! I do not mind in the least the bits of feedback and screeches as it reflects the actual environment everybody was experiencing -- almost like I was there.
Yesss! I love your last sentence thank you for sharing!
Lol. The story I've heard is that they had all just taken LSD as they had thought they were going to playing later than evening but got called on early.
My understanding that it was courtesy of Jerry Garcia.
The longer recording is much much much better. The version you had is good but lots was cut out for the movie. Here is a longer version which has a radical massive drum solo - it's the exact same show just more film footage included. So glad you're showing it. Santana always makes everyone happy! Thank you soon much!✌️❤🎵 ruclips.net/video/sSp05euvRNU/видео.htmlsi=wAjw74ov-F5AR75P
Ouch! YT has this performance at various lengths due to terrible edits... Watch the f-ing movie to see the actual live action for this, Hendrix, and so many others.
Richie Havens nailed it on Woodstock with the song Freedom.
Both of you have a very old soul beautiful. Santana was incredible that Band was incredible. If you ever get a chance listen to Jingo. It's an incredible tribal Latin mix.
Thank you so much ! And will definitely listen to it!!! Thank you for sharing!
you know the 1 minute drums solo it was a 3/4 minute drums solo and they cut it... can you imagine?
So disgraceful. We might have to do this again with the long solo
just consider..no computer backup..it was just plug in and play
😎😎😎😎😎
That was a fraction of the performance. The spilt screen full version shows it all. The audience reaction, the drummers, and all the dancers. Way too much video and audio is deleted. Maybe a quarter of the drum solo.
Have a heart for drummers, you said you watched this thousands of times..., watch the full version!!!
It's not as good in quality as this version, but there you have the full drum solo!!! In this version here it is cut to like a tenth of what he actually did.. :( so please, have a heart for drummers ❤ :)
Also if you like primal drums, check out my main man Ginger's catalogue!:) especially live as well 🤟👹❤️
What's the significance of the face paint?
It’s our rock n roll stage paint check out our music it’ll make more sense! ruclips.net/video/OvlhWYCyWIc/видео.htmlsi=iDcAUQM1Knxmq5BK
Drum solo cut short in this video. Watch the longer version
Why would they cut the drum solo short 😭
People, I've subscrbed, I've like every video. Listen, you guys are awesome reactors. please. some of the sharpest comments. It takes more time for many that which might flow from oneself.
No-one who has actually experienced a dose of LSD would have the temerity to suggest the drug wasn't capable of opening up some of the "Doors of Perception", as demonstrated here. Who cares whether the insight was chemical or not?
❤️
Shame that the Drums Solo is cut , in reality it’s much longer than that!
what is the black paint on your faces? And why?
Just rock n roll
@@gozaband Duh, ridiculous.
Rock on! @@gozaband
That was an abbreviated version. They cut out a bunch of the drum solo, as well as other parts. Check out their live version from Tanglewood, 1970. Anyway, great tune, great comments and reaction! Thanks! ✌🏻💀
Aaah the drum solo did feel short!!!! Ugh!!’ Thanks for letting us know!!!
Agreed
Nope there is a version with whole song
Acoustic 360 bass amp
You should watch the full version. Much better!
They cut the drum solo short.
I know many people have pointed this out it’s freaking sad and sacrilege 😡
I believe that was their first song. There's a documentary called Woodstock , Then and Now and this song is discussed in depth. It's worth watching.
Thank you we will definitely check it out! Also at the end of the song you can see them walk off stage
Nope last but this cut most of the drum solo out
What? Carlos Santana has never been underrated. Just for starters...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. His album Abraxas spent six weeks at No.1 on the Billboard chart at the end of 1970. The album remained on the charts for 88 weeks and was certified 4× platinum in 1986. In 2003, the album was ranked number 205 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Thank you for sharing! In guitar circles he can be called underrated, although I disagree.
Damn they cut most of the drum solo....how could you....
It wasn’t us! We didn’t know it was a short version 😔
Short Version
I've been a musician since 1963 and have heard many of the great guitar players live including Jimi Hendrix, BB King, Jeff Beck and many more. IMHO the greatest guitar player that ever lived was GARY MOORE. If you haven't already heard it you can check out the proof of that claim on what I consider to be the best guitar performance ever recorded - his rendition of Roy Buchanan's "THE MESSIAH WILL COME AGAIN" - here's the link - ruclips.net/video/7k07j7LcLqw/видео.html
Yessss! We will do a reaction to this great performance, stay tuned!
👍LSD was safer in the 60's and 70's.
Wish I could have experienced it 😂
I was security there Santana Carlos dropped the tab of acid right where he went on and also that drummer he was 19 years old
Ahh you didn't pick the 9 minute version.
never translate the name of channel for portugese
😂
Why would you talk through out the whole song?
It’s called a reaction video….
@@gozabandOK by
Too bad you got the trimmed version, eliminating 95% of Michael Shrieve's amazing drum solo.
Is there a reason you two have a stripe over your faces?
Yes! We’re a rock band and it’s our thing go check out our music ruclips.net/video/OvlhWYCyWIc/видео.htmlsi=iDcAUQM1Knxmq5BK
@@gozaband Ooh that sounds nice and old school! Black Sabbath anyone?
Underrated ??? Then you realise he plays the same solo to every song. Not a great but definitely unique. Drummer was only 17
Yea he does one thing and does it really well. I think he was actually more versatile in the 60s and 70s than his modern stuff. He knows the right notes to hit id say.
Every guitar solo he does sounds the same though
Why the short version? You missed most of the drum solo and Santana's final solo. Frustrating, guys.
Too much talking during performance
You do know what a reaction video is right?
@@gozaband Ah yes I do and the good ones wait til the end or pause not talk over the video
Wtf is that on their faces?
And no need to sing!
Right?! Carlos’ guitar did all the singing!
That's it talk through it. Dreadfully naff. zzzzzzz
Yea it’s called a reaction video that’s what you do bob.
Yeah, that’s raw that’s before corporate. America took over and started putting out these songs that I don’t know how you might listen to them style to them.
