Woodstock was a magical moment in time. It can never be duplicated. Thankfully, for those of us who remember the artists of that era, but were too young to attend the concert, it was captured on film. Watching Woodstock and listening to the music is akin to opening a sacred, treasured music box that has been passed down through the generations.
I have honestly lost count of the number of times I've watched that song, and while I love the whole performance, I am always blown away by the sheer weight of the drum solo. I'm not sure if it's the combination of the jazz grip, minimal kit, syncopation, and facial expressions, but whatever the reason it's up there in my top ten solos of all time.
Michael says he was disappointed in his solo performance at Woodstock! OMG! I thought the entire line-up for Woodstock was incredible performances one right after the other; but imo, Santana and Michael's solo topped them all! That is what immediately comes to mind when I think of Woodstock, then the rest come flooding in. What a legacy.
I loved Michael's solo at Woodstock too. Have you ever heard Santana at the Tanglewood concert? (1971). Santana may have peaked at that show ! My favorite performance at Woodstock was Sly and the Family Stone.
I get it that Michael doesn't care for his Woodstock solo. An artist can see his performance differently sometimes, for whatever reason. But I would say to him that the energy was tremendous. A young man, fast and all over the kit kind of like Buddy Rich in my mind. Of course, I am only a guitarist but that is how I see it. To me it was magic!
To present him as Carlos Santana's is really shameful. He's a brilliant artist, and he was only Santana's drummer (Santana was a band, where Carlos wasn't even primarily composer).
Carlos Santana's name was used in title to help people find the video through key-word-search. Apologies - didn't mean to shame anyone. Thanks for the view.

the solo was great tho not very original.
Like he said, watch their performance at Tanglewood a year later in 1970, it's even better (it's on here)
