I was 11 years old in ‘71, I didn’t know that Santana existed then, but in 1976 a friend at college recommended them and I have loved them since then. ❤❤❤
I live in Honolulu, and I was at that concert when I was in high school. This was just after Woodstock and I had already purchased their first and only album at the time. Since then I have seen him several times in Honolulu in the 70’s and 80’s. I also saw Carlos alone with Buddy Miles at Diamond Head Crater in 1972, and they released that live album, “Live from a Volcano”. Those were the days!
Neal Schon was only 17 here and was still in High School. He had to get permission from his parents to tour with Carlos and the band..!! Neal Schon grew up in San Mateo, Ca. and went to Aragon High School. Greg Rolie was only 23 and grew in Palo Alto, Ca. Carlos was only 23..!! Best Original lineup. This is pure Magical History..!!
I went to school with Neal. The band would be in the parking lot waiting to pick him up from school to go down to the Pacific Recording Studios in San Mateo. I met him a year or so later at the food court in Hillsdale Mall. He said he wasn't happy being in the band...
What a great rare video clip of Carlos Santana's long career! He was then good, still going strong in 2023, 52 years later. He is a unique icon of melodic pop rock with latin and jazzy flavour. The intensity of the band and his playing is awesome. Thank U for sharing 👍
I was so bummed out when the solo that Michael Shreive was in the middle of cut out and went black out. When it came back on the solo had finished. But still love me some Santana. Man that was 54 years ago. Loved it Thanks Mike
I was looking through the credits and was gonna ask in the comments was that Neil up there with them. I knew he had stood in on several of Santana’s live and maybe even some studio time. Thanks for verifying, wow Neil was born 2/27/54, he’s 17 years old right here. I was 14 when the escape album was released in 1981
Don’t forget about old Herbie Herbert then Mgr of Santana who formed Journey. Didn’t know he had a head full of hair. He can be seen 1:03:45 center screen back stage for about 5 seconds. Pretty cool to see these guys then. Me being 3 years old while all this was happening 2000 miles away, lol
I was senior in high school in the fall of 69 when a friend came by the house with an 8 track tape in hand that featured a black & white sketch of a lion on its cover. I was hooked after hearing it!
Legends - past and present!! Have seen Santana 19 times from 1979-2019. Although his performance is still fantastic and Santana is TIMELESS, I miss the vintage times. I miss the hall-of-fame percussion section Vilato-Rekow-Peraza (RIP - RAUL and ARMANDO). I miss Chester on keyboards. I miss Shrieve and Chambers on drums. I also miss Ligertwood's gospel voice. Santana still has legendary musicians and the show is a MUST - WELL WORTH the time and money. He is MY FAVORITE ARTIST and his music has pulled me out of my darkest times. THANK YOU SANTANA and ALL of the musicians whose wings you have flown and continue to fly on.
I sorely miss Chester on keyboards. His chord voicings and solos were unworldly. I had the pleasure of meeting him once off stage in St. Louis in 2002 and was such a humble man.
I have seen Santana 37 times. First time in Chicago with Muddy Waters and Eric Clapton. I just saw his documentary movie the other day, it is great. However, I wish there was more on the 80's and 90's bands. Those were just stellar performances, second to none.
@@curtismizener5501 I believe the first time they played Chicago was at the Kinetic Playground. I didn't much care for the documentary because it didn't provide me with any new information.
holy! 68 years now. Play guitar. never seen this footage before. practice and play Santana 3 so much!! what a Joy to find this! the other Tony in Montana. joy.
LOVE THE SANTANA BAND SINCE I WAS 12 IN 1969. SINCE THEN, MY LIFE WAS ALWAYS ACCOMPANIED WITH LOVE , COMPASSION AND DEVOTION ; SOMETHING THAT WAS MISSING AROUND THE WORLD. EVEN TODAY , ONLY GOD AND CONQUER HATE!
One of the greatest pieces ever! Santana is among a handful of the greatest guitarists and musicians of his era. Sadly, not too many musicians can match him today.
I love Santana also however you might want to listen to Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Al DiMeola, Pat Metheny, just for starters. Carlos is unique in his sound and style however not the most technical. He plays with feel and emotion. One of the Greats no doubt.
Yes Vicki those were the days that will never return ,sadly to say but we still have those great memories, take care greetings from Puweto Rico ,Merry Christmas ,Happy New Year
And African flavour too..... Santana Sound mix is a unique blend of ingredients. That makest the difference of good band and ever lasting iconiic super star. And his great choice of super talented musicians, from decade to another.
This is simply incredible to see the whole set together!!!! Musically amazing and also a pivotal moment in the band members' musical development. Great to see (hear) Carlos playing a Les Paul! And special shout out to Coke E!!!! Thank you for this upload!
When the hell will this concert be officially released on CD and DVD? What the hell is Carlos thinking? In all respect, Santana from 1969-1972~ Santana '69 ~ Caravanserai '72 was his finest period! "In Search Of Mona Lisa"? Give me break!
Claro chepito es irremplazable no habra otro como el, pero eso de estar hablando de Santana que es un músico mediocre y que el hizo a santana y sin el nada es lo deja mal parado.
Thank you so much for this upload. Hall of Fame talent indeed. Why was MIchael Shrieve's solo cut off? AMAZING, AMAZING drummer! Not to mention Gregg Rolie and Neal Schon, future founding members of Journey 🤘🤘
S.F. native. Grew up in the Mission Dist. during this era of Santana. Neal Schon holding his weight in Santana's band when he was only seventeen. Imagine having permission from your parents to be able to get a passport, travel in play in Montreux, Switzerland back then in '71? Impressive.
Certainly great. I'd have to say, he's one of the most distinctive, and influential rock guitarists, along with Hendrix in the Boomer generation, and forward. Always, a pleasure to hear their music.
Hate to break it to you sweetheart but the best guitarist ever is Jimi Hendrix hands-down can't nobody duplicate what he did talk about other worldly sounds I truly believed he was a voodoo child or really not human......🎛️🎛️😩🎸🔥🎛️🎛️
Props to you, Santanamigos. I can imagine highly creative groups like Earth Wind & Fire, Tower of Power, War, and Santana, can't stand be crowded and bunched up together on such a relatively small stage. Whatever it takes, though. Appreciate the upload :)
Great somewhat rare video of Neil Schon and the original Santana lineup minus chupito Arias but replaced what's another percussionist. We get to see Santana here with two guitars and occasionally doing harmonic solo simultaneously. Gregg Rolie looks like he's playing a Hammond C3 that's been chopped and altered unfortunately he is way down in this mix and the keyboards are buried what a shame. As usual the triple threat percussionists are on fire Carlos and n e a l are in sync and cutting well through the mix. The bassist Mr Brown is holding everything down with the percussionist. Not the best audio and video but for Santana hardcore fans it's plenty adequate for the era. Hats off to the poster into the boys in the band🎉
Terry Reid's opening set is genius. It's on RUclips somewhere, worth googling for it. Terry's band included David Lindley, Alan White on drums, and Lee Miles on bass.
Couple of things jump out….. No cellphones and how close the audience is to the stage. Amazing The band is so tight for this performance and all the jams are out of this world. Also appears the entire audience is stoned on some good Turkish hash! So mellow but really getting into it especially during the Jingo. Watch all the heads bobbing including some of the dudes behind the band.
Thank you so much for posting this! I have "Soul to Soul" but they only do a couple of numbers there. Here we have a whole concert with the Mark II band, with the exception of Chepito Areas, this lineup kicks major butt! Every number is fantastic. Takes me back to my high school days. I played this music constantly but never got to see them. Thanks again and again. You made my day! This is the best father's day gift ever! Everyone is so young and full of energy! God bless these dudes!
@@rafaelorantes7185 Thanks. I saw something on RUclips where chepito takes all the credit for the Santana sound. He sounded pretty bitter. I hope he's ok.
I seen Santana back up Jeff Beck back in the late 90's. When Jeff started playing I could see Carlos at the side of the stage getting some pointers. Lol :-) Peace
Carlos has never and never will be in the same league as Joe Satriani, Jeff Beck, Randy Rhoades, Dimebag Darrell, Stevie Ray Vaughn. People, do your homework.
@@raulregalado5344 It’s all a matter of style and sound. Not what league your in. Carlos’s known around the world . He can squeeze the shit out of the E string with the best of them. He can get the same encore standing ovation in South Africa and Singapore as he can in Detroit Michigan. Before Santana no body in rock was utilizing congas timbales , bongos and other Latin percussion instruments in their music. Maybe not the greatest rock band in the world but arguably the greatest world band in rock .
I'd forgotten how "Incident At Neshabur" has that Allman Bros. vibe and sound. God, so music was good then. Santana's firs six albums are masterpieces.
That guitar solo that Carlos does starting at about 23:00 minutes up to the beginning of "Evil Ways" is unbelievable ! No wonder he is considered a legendary guitarist !
Let Neal Play!!! Just Kidding ... But you can see from this performance why Neal Schon would want his own band, so he could play lead guitar ... I can't think of a better mentor - or guitarist - than Carlos Santana ... There are moments near the end of this where it appears Neal plays some of the most stunning leads of the concert!!! As amazing as this concert is, Santana and his band was even better on LOTUS live from 1973, after so many of the musicians on this stage had departed for one reason or another ...
@jimiplayscobo5877 Sorry to inform you but they all do it Even the great ones. Before Santana nobody in rock had congas , timbales, bongos and other Latin percussion instruments in their music.
Hard to believe that all but Michael Carebello (conga player) are under 25 years of age, Neal schon not even 21 at the time, incredible musicianship not found today in young bands, not even close.
Yo como musico siempre pense que chepito areas le dio un toque desconosido que todos nos gusto creo que carlos deve estar orgullosido de toque de chepito por que sin el no hubiera sonado asi con su ritmo tan rock tropical y todos pusieron lo suyo como mexicano estoy orgulloso fde esta agrupación calos Santana
So where are all the bands these days who play like these guys? I know music changes but shit I don’t ever hear any one playing like the original Santana band. Unbelievable abilities on all instruments. Someone needs to start another band with players that are this good. Peace
@@hasselhoffff - well if you’re drunk, ducked up and eating hamburgers with your kid on the floor than you don’t need no stinking FACTs, now do you. lol 😂
There are good musicians out there but sadly now is mostly about showing your boobs/a$$ and that sells... and it has been quite a long time since real music is leading the 'radio waves' so new generations have missed the gift of music... but here and there kids wonder out in seek of good stuff like Santana, ELO, Nirvana, STP, etc... I keep playing the same music too! 🤟
@@jmckeon1054 no one is marketing because labels see no money on them... until there is another wave of rock with new exciting music and good looking kids... i think biggest issue is that kids are not growing around instruments or real musicians so everything is 'beat-based' with DAWs and electronic music... when was a DJ ever taken seriously before lol, now you can be rich being one... not like that's a bad thing but lack of real music is a drag... classical, rock and all in between (jazz/funk/punk) will come back, the world can live for so long without real compositions... plus there's hardly anything else to sample from lol
If this was in May 1971 in the Montreux Casino, then it was in the original casino that was the inspiration for Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water. The casino burnt down in December of 1971. So this concert is in the original Montreux casino. (until some stupid with a flare gun, burned the place to the ground ....... )

this is 2 years after Woodstock and after 3 albums.
@@marcoskipper1 I was going to say the same thing.
Wasn’t that 72 Diamond Head show released as that Yellow/Red Live album? I owned and loved that record since 1973!
The greatest of the greatest Santana blues band of the 20th/21st Century

Watch the Woodstock version of "Soul Sacrifice" then. (I'm sure you already have).
ha same. i was thinking best version i've seen outside of woodstock then blackout. still super sick to see the footage
A young Greg Rollie at the keys and a younger Neil Schon on guitar, ladies and gentlemen....
Music doesn’t get any better than this. They are one of a kind sound. I love them!

Before those guys listen to Gabor Szabo and John McLaughlin, along with early Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green on guitar. He wrote Black Magic Woman.

The Montreaux Casino might not have burned down until December '71 but on this night The Santana band took the roof off
This was the first Santana konzert I saw in Montreux. Aftee that I saw him at least 20 times
When the hell will this concert be officially released on CD and DVD?
What the hell is Carlos thinking?
In all respect, Santana from 1969-1972~ Santana '69 ~ Caravanserai '72 was his finest period!
"In Search Of Mona Lisa"? Give me break!
Love devotion surrender
Ha ha ha!
Don't know if it was his finest, the crew was really heavy and we certainly had some of GREATEST times!
Great job by Coke Escovedo filling in for Chepito Areas on Timbales, he is Sheila E's uncle.
Thanks, was wondering who was playing timbales.
Well done but... Chepito is the best...unique and irreplaceable

I seen him Live. Add atlantic city race track in new jersey it was a three Concerned. It was three days and it was awesome I'll never forget it
One of the Most ASS KICKING OPENING SETS I have heard from Santana and I have have heard a Few!!! WOW

This is awesome....
Grateful to be able to see this today
Playing at his best. A true avatar.
Love devotion to Santana
Great somewhat rare video of Neil Schon and the original Santana lineup minus chupito Arias but replaced what's another percussionist. We get to see Santana here with two guitars and occasionally doing harmonic solo simultaneously. Gregg Rolie looks like he's playing a Hammond C3 that's been chopped and altered unfortunately he is way down in this mix and the keyboards are buried what a shame. As usual the triple threat percussionists are on fire Carlos and n e a l are in sync and cutting well through the mix. The bassist Mr Brown is holding everything down with the percussionist. Not the best audio and video but for Santana hardcore fans it's plenty adequate for the era. Hats off to the poster into the boys in the band🎉
Terry Reid's opening set is genius. It's on RUclips somewhere, worth googling for it. Terry's band included David Lindley, Alan White on drums, and Lee Miles on bass.
What else can you say but Phenomenal!
Mike Carbello,great percussionist ,conga wild man!!! Ripping it up.
Mike Shrieve,one of my many teachers!!! Thank you both Mikes and Chepito!!!;
Gregg Rolie is the man...
Absolutely Fantastic!
Elfin’ amazing oh yes
This is the only clip of Carlos on a LP I've seen so far--playing soulful melody.
Couple of things jump out…..
No cellphones and how close the audience is to the stage. Amazing
The band is so tight for this performance and all the jams are out of this world.
Also appears the entire audience is stoned on some good Turkish hash! So mellow but really getting into it especially during the Jingo. Watch all the heads bobbing including some of the dudes behind the band.

If this was in May 1971 in the Montreux Casino, then it was in the original casino that was the inspiration for Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water. The casino burnt down in December of 1971. So this concert is in the original Montreux casino. (until some stupid with a flare gun, burned the place to the ground ....... )
Ohh those keyboards are so awesome ❤❤❤
