  • Neal Schon did not play on Santana (eponymous debut) or Abraxas; he appeared first on Santana III and on the Live w/Buddy Miles album and finally, Caravanserai.

  • I like him.

  • Too funky & santana tune!

  • Too funky. Gimmie some real Tower of Power Horns! This was period when synthisizers subbed for a cheap version of real instruments. It continues today. Not good.

  • omg!!! 10 days before my b day!

  • I wish he would quit screwing around and use a real brass section.  That would let the keyboards pursue other avenues in this particular number. Oh well absolutely not bad regardless.

  • @drewzillasaurusrex: Bear in mind that this is a clip from 1996. He does actually since the release of the "Supernatural" album in 1999 use a real brass section: Billy Ortiz on trumpet and Jeff Cressmann on trombone.

  • was david brown there i know he died around this time

  • @HendrixofSound : No, he left the band in 71, the re-joined for a couple of years between 1974-76

    . I think the bass player in this clip Benny Rietveld.

  • @q2w3bn876 Neal never rejoined the Santana band after he left. He was gigging steadily with Journey for the remainder of the 70's and beyond, their debut show at Winterland 12-31-73

  • Hell yeah! Awesomely  great!

  • why didnt they have this guy play at the mtv awards?

  • Great lead singer. I luv his voice!

  • Neal Schon was 15 when he played lead on this on Santana III

  • He, was about 17 or older. I. seen The Original Santana Band in N.Y. w/ and An Unknown NEAL SCHON. the original Band is unmatched .and the Tower of Power horns also.... SEEN them also at the Fillmore ....

  • @MarshallAmpMan

    Sorry, Schon was 17 (born 1954) in 1971 when Santana III was recorded and released.....

  • @werewuf Neal was 17 when he joined Santana

  • @jimdep1 Neal actually joined when he was 15 years old in 1969, sometime after Santana's Woodstock performance. He recorded 3 studio albums with Santana (Abraxas, Santana III, Caravanserai). He was 17 at the time Santana III was recorded. He left in 1973, when he was 19 years old.

  • @dtongamusic Neal didn't play on Arbraxas, he joined the band in between Arbraxas and Santana III, if I remember right, he officially joined Santana in early 1971.

  • @jimdep1 He could have still been 16.

  • @jimdep1 You're right about Abraxas, I was mistaken (but for some reason, it's listed under his discography under the official site). But Carlos and Neal have both said in interviews that he joined when he was 15 years old (which would've been in '69). I know he did some session work--mostly unreleased material--and rehearsals in the first couple years, but his "official" debut was on Santana III.

  • @dtongamusic I'm trying to figure when he could have joined Santana in 69. August was Woodstock, a couple months later they did Ed Sullivan and really took off during that time, gigging constantly. They played NYE at the Fillmore ( I think) and Neal still wasn't with them. I just don't know when they had time to do session work, besides working on the beginning stages the Arbraxas Album. I thought it was the next Spring that Gregg met Neal at some club in Palo Alto.hmmm, not sure.

  • @jimdep1 Neal says in interviews he actually met them when he was 14 (they all lived in the Bay Area), I think sometime before Woodstock. I read one of Carlos' biographies, and he talks about meeting Neal. Greg actually met him first and invited him to the studio to jam. Carlos didn't know a thing about Neal until he walked in on a session. Soon after, Greg and the rest of the band decided to ask Neal to join. Carlos didn't want to. Greg threatened to leave the band, so Carlos agreed.

  • @jimdep1 And Carlos' account was before Abraxas. Still trying to work on an exact timeline, but there doesn't seem to be a lot of info out there on the web. The best info I can find seems to come from interviews and biographies.

  • this song is great... I always thought this guy had a great voice..

  • The earlier person described exactly the Emperors from my hometown of Harrisburg,Pa, performed in my era of the sixties at the supersette those from the Burg remember, I hope tyrone Moss and mitlon brown is receiving somethin' somethin'from this..SANTANNA STOLED THIS SONG...SHAME

  • drnubian-

    Your an idiot.

    They got credit for the song.

    You never heard of song remakes before??

    It's not stealing if you give credit and payment for it!!!

    Shame on you for false accusations.

  • name calling is not necessary shows the breath of your ignorance, iwas the bass player for the emperors and we did not received a cent, do your research first

  • You're made because Santana's version is better!

  • @drnubian I just listened the 45 record of the Emperors posted here on YouTube. It was great!! But looking back, how do you feel about receiving no payment for your contribution to the music industry?

  • if you get the title of the song "everyone's everything" then you know, that stealing is illusion, we are all one, the universe cannot live without you and without me, when we die, we remember that we are all the same spirit, incarnating into different bodies, one after the next, and simultaneously too. God is in everyone and everything in you and me, and the stars, its all one, we all come from the same big bang, we will all go back after we leave our bodies, eternity for everyone, one wave

  • are you ok, what does all this metaphysical, spiritualist jab has do with someone taking credit for someone's eles work. God is also about finding one's own center and grow into that

  • God is realizing that you are one with the universe. Santana says from his own mouth "no more us and them". Unity, one love. When you find this "center" that you mention, you will see the same on the outside as on the inside, other people are actually just another part of yourself, there is no separation, only the illusion of separation. Sometimes it takes ego-death for a person to realize this. Love is the seeing of self in all other things and people, you know, one love.

  • si!

  • Remake of "karate" song by emperors you idiot dumb ass, Pinche pendejo de mierda...

  • The music on this song is from the song "Karate" as originally performed/recorded by the Emperors in 1966. Santana wrote the new lyrics. Check out the songwriting credits: Carlos shares with Messrs. Brown and Moss the composers of "Karate."

  • We played this last year as our opener... We rocked it hard!!! Love this song!!!

  • LOVE the guitar Opening

  • Hey, we're playing this in our marching show this year! I love this song! Our show is all Carlos Santana songs

  • Hey us too! This is our opener.

  • dude, us too! except, we have a gospel rock theme, so we have jesus christ superstar too. is yours titled "everybody's everything (karate)"? b/c i have no idea why they have karate at the end! bahaha

  • One of my favorite songs. The horns are the best part!

  • Comment removed

  • Wow.. they did a hell of a good job on that song!!

  • Actually seeing Santana live is mind blowing. When the man hits the stage the energy and love that flows out to him from the audience is a most amazing feeling.

    There are time when the drum players hands move so fast you can't even see them,

    This is one of his greatest songs.

  • One of the best songs that very few people knew of from the 3rd album...it rocks, it rolls, it's got soul!

  • What a rocking, blistering song - big guitars, big guitars, cool hook - GROOVE ON!!!!

  • a lot of bands play dis song.

  • Yes they Do But none of them Play it like santana

  • Love Carlos' long coat! Like a magician of music!! Saw him wearing that in 96 too at Wembley Arena, he came on stage wearing it and smoking a huge spliff, puffing out smoke rings!  The band were really great then!

  • Novus is soooo slow!!1

  • Hey my high school band is playing the same song too with an addition of Shes not there, Novus and Dale Yaleo

  • Wow, we play this song to in Chief Sealth! Same as the Husky Band.

  • Go to SFHS?

  • In the original recording, Tower of Power's horn section performed this song with Satana. One of the best songs ever!

  • I play this song in my band is very good

  • Alex Ligertwood best santana singer ever..get him back Carlos

  • santana rocks the partyyyyyyyy

  • my school doesnt play this... yet

    im gonna recommend it though

  • The marching band at my school plays it too. They sound fricken awesome, can't wait until next year when I'll be in marching band. <3

    It must be the standard Marching song.

  • We play this song on the marching field. It's my favorite song to play

  • Wow, a lot of us are. Its the theme this year in my county. Well, if we are in the same county, good luck to you guys.

  • i love this song. we are playing it for marching :)

  • My high school band is playing it also. It's so much fun!

  • Mine too. I just can't seem to find Novus anywhere on youtube.

  • Novus is really weird. It's like an opera song.

  • Yeah but my marching band is doing everybody's everything,novus,and Da ya leo can't spell it left my music at school in my band locker

  • We are doing those exact same songs with the addition of She's Not There. And it's Da Le Yaleo :)

  • sweet lol we already did ours this time we're doing Distorted,Al Lune,Quidam,and Incantation lol cant spell left music in meh band locker

  • yeah my band is doing the same song for field show but also shes not there. Its so awesome we've learned 42 sets!!!!

  • Great soloing by Carlos - wish he would do more solos like these nowadays.

  • Neal Schon did the solo on the record. Stanford University Marching Band started doing the song back in the 1970s. The song predates Santana by many years.

  • Very good song!

  • muy buena canción...la letra también me encanta
