What I love about this is that you can tell by the facial expressions and body language of the musicians that they are completely in the present moment. You can tell that there exists only the music in their hearts and minds. What a feeling that must be.
AWESOME, JUST AWESOME. I saw an interview with Carlos years back. He said he had two hits of mescaline in him when he was playing this song. He said he was so jacked, everything was melting together, but it was great.
@leonoff89 I think Jimi saw a rock band like Santana w/ the conga players, which also featured a dynamic lead guitarist and as the limits of the rock trio format were becoming painfully obvious to him so he decided to expand his band to realize a more encompassing musical envelope. He would've added a keyboardist, too, as he had the idea to add Steve Winwood who he had previously recorded w/ for his Electric Ladyland album and perhaps he would've had the Woodstock band endured.
@leonoff89 No comparason Santana. Everybody has their moments. This was Santana's moment. Get Jimmy did not peek until he hooked up with the band of gypsies
Michael Shrieve is one of the most underrated and under mentioned drummers of all time. He's honestly good enough to put in a top 10. Possibly a top 5. And you also have to take in account, he drummer this solo traditional. Not a lot of drummers could pull off that speed and technique traditional. Except maybe drum line drummers. But then again their not playing behind a full kit with cymbals and kick pedals. Seriously talented guy.
around 1990 i saw carlos santana, the neville bros. and mason ruffner. it was in a big top circus tent for the jazz fest nite shows. it was the most amazing 3 hours. it was the second of two shows that nite. it went from 12:00 to 3:30. the whole show had the energy of this song
Drugs and music are often inseparable.. Especially in those years. Drugs has ruined most band and artist than anything. So what? Good for the survivors... And even under the influnce of drugs (that was booze, eroin, acid, mescaline or anything else, and that they did it for creative ispiration or just for fun) these musicians gave us the best music of ever... Enjoy!
I first heard Carlos Santana in Fall of '67 when he and the band came to San Francisco State and performed on Friday afternoons for about a 90 minute set. He wanted to educate us about the music that was happening in San Francisco's Mission District. We learned quick, our minds blown. The Santana band went on to Woodstock and blew the minds of a half a million people then and probably a billion since then.
does it matter what drugs they were on? they all were tweaking their lil jibblets off on whatever they were taking and managed to put on a hell of good set.unlike watching Brad Nowell(Sublime) so high on smack you cant even make out the words he was saying. as a music lover i have seen bands that were sober that suck and bands who were fucked up they actually put on a decent show.
Stunning performance, especially in the rhythm section. Woodstock: attendance of approximately 400K. Number of people who claim that they were there: 4 million.
That drummer wasn't high, that's for damn sure. You cant play like that and be trippin He frickin blows my mind. Def one of my all time favorite drum performances. Makes you say, "Who is that guy!!". Electrifying indeed
Dear mrbabblehead. Don't take any comments serious. I just tell it like it is. Rolling Stones rated slow hand as one of the ten best guitar players of all time. I think they are high on Acid. for not even thinking of Carlos.
@robj1men Not takin it serious brother.....Rolling Stone can shove it up their ass....Carlos has some of the most memorable solos in rock history with "Song of the Wind" and "Europa".....those co called music experts at Rolling Stone mag only influence people who don't play guitar or any instrument for that matter.
Carlos said one time that he was peaking on Acid while they were playing the song. He said he remembered his neck kept turning into a snake. They weren't supposed to go on as early as they did. One of the other acts couldn't get to the site, so they were told "play now, or you don't play".
Tell me what Rock and Roll band wasn't high on DRUGS at wood stock. They only like to pick on the GREAT CARLOS SANTANT BECAUSE HE IS CHICANO. why don't they pick on get high Jimmy Hendrix.
@robj1men Most of the posts convey a bit of amazement and admiration for Carlos being able to pull off a performance like that under the influence.....has nothing to do with him being a chicano.
I just saw another interview with Santana and he does state that he was on LSD....a year ago I saw another interview where he stated that he was high on mescaline....I don't think Carlos remembers which one he took that night!!
Longevity speaks volumes for title of "the best"! B.B.King, Eric Clapton, Carlos Santana, are all great examples of longevity, and unsurpassed quality. Instead of arguing, just be thanful we HAVE these excellent videos to pass on to others, and to listen to over, and over again!! And as for mesc, or "sid", a good high is still a good high!! ROCK ONNNNN!!
I can reply for NinjaJuggalo here, he's reported many times in different interviews and documentaries and such that he was on mescalin and while playing he was absolutely terrified because he was hallucinating that the neck of his guitar had turned into a snake but continued playing through sheer force of will.
@ZeekyB yes you're absolutely right. before he went on the manager or someone like that told him it was now or never and he chose to go on, and he was hoping he was hitting all the right notes, hence all of the weird faces you can see him making, that's was him trying to concentrate on playing but at the same time trying not to be scared of his guitar which turned into a snake while he was playing.
@ontariobuds i'm not gonna say you're wrong or anything because he obviously says he was on LSD but i've done LSD multiple times and it doesn't make you see things like that. it brings on nothing but pure happiness and you're in an ultimate state of nirvana. i believe myself that he took mescaline before his performance because mescaline is known to bring on mass hallucinations. but that's just my opinion.
@yeah, I'm sure that he has said both, I only know of the one so I tell people LSD, until I hear him say mescaline. then i won't know what to say except he was on a hallucinogen. do you have any links to an interview where he menions mescaline?
@NinjaJuggalo9 I forgot to add, LSD is better at producing mass hallucinations, not mescaline. mescaline mostly chan changes how you see the room and stuff, rarly does it produce things that aren't there, like LSD does.I've done both but I cannot say buy his description that is was either because everybody experiences the effects differently. but like I said, Carlos said it was LSD so it is kind of strange to say no, he was on mescaline I know because I've done LSD. have you done mesc? it's fun
@ontariobuds Actually, LSD doesn't cause full on seeing things that aren't there unless you take an abnormally high dose. I've done it around 13 times and I never, not once, saw something that was not actually there. All LSD does to vision is it makes things a little brighter, and things kind of move in "waves", similar to your description of mescaline. If you've done LSD, I'm sure you'll know what I'm talking about. Those are not hallucinations at all.
@seemawng Well, I don't know where you got yours, but the stuff that was rolling around in the late 60's and early 70's caused PLENTY of hallucinations.
Every hear of the expression "tracks"? The key to it was that you knew they weren't real. But there were hallucinations, believe me.
@bashfulbrother I haven't touched a drug in over 30 years, thank goodness. I don't endorse it. I still have side effects from the drugs I used, and I am dead serious when I say that your life will be better w/o the experience.
Oh great, another video from Woodstock. Yawn. Really people, I'm 49 and I'm bored with this stuff, but I guess that's a reflection on how awesome music is today. Opinions are like a-holes, everybody has one and I prefer Carlos now instead of the drugged up late 60's. I realize I'm one of the a-holes to which I refer. No need to even comment. I get it.
@yooNoName Acid is very different from the original LSD. The same level of difference between Mushrooms and Acid. Here's a fun fact: The concept of the DNA sequence was conceptualized during and LSD trip.
I saw them in Boston before Woodstock, and they did this song in a relatively little venue, not much bigger than a cellar, the "new" Boston Tea Party, and it blew everyone's minds as you can imagine. I fell in love with Michael. They were the back up band for Joe Cocker. He was pissed that they took more applause than he did, and didn't want to come on for his second set. (Each band would do two sets back then.)
Carlos Santana : the reason why i was making those funny faces were because the neck of the guitar was like a snake trying to run away, and i was trying to make it stay still so that i could play the notes
Man, this incarnation of Santana should reunite and do the Super Bowl half-time show, assuming that most of the members are still alive and physically able to perform, not some stupid Madonna or Bon Jovi, Jonas Brothers crap
no olviden al percusionista de nicaragua jose chepito areas el de rojo con las congas ojo he en nicaragua se producen bueneas cosas si no preguntenle a mick jagger que se caso con bianca jagger de nicaragua.
I just watched this video for the first time in 15yrs, and it still is, to me one of the best rock performances i have ever seen. I work with these young jerk offs all day who jam thier techno horseshit and they haven't got a clue about what real music is. I was recently at a dart tournament and asked them to put this video on during a break, the entire bar froze just to watch mike on drums.
I was in High School in 1969. I was at woodstock 1969. My generation, the baby boomers, kicked the shit out of the music of today. Music today sucks many kelvin degrees below zero. My generation produced the greatest Rock N' Roll of all time!
@BarerMender not his best work?? he was peaking on mescaline while playing this. Thats why his face is tensing up, hes trying his hardest to keep his shit together
wow im young and this is vintage great stuff,i was not even born yet but i must say after listening to this today my music today is total horse shit .now i really know justin bieber is shit
@BriBeast8566 he was actually tripping so hard that he thought the neck was a snake. you can see it cause he kept closing his eyes at some points cause he was like " O SHIT A SNAKE"! lmao
Might well be the greatest live performance ever..... but one guy who never gets his due David Brown, the bass player. He's the glue that holds it all together. Just an unbelievable band.
@whooziss Dave Brown was a really sweet, quiet guy who was as into the music as anybody I've ever seen. I worked the door at one of the major venues in SF. Anytime somebody good was playing, and his band wasn't working, David would show up and spend the whole evening watching, listening and (if the chance came) jamming. Always wondered what ever became of him.

I just watched this video for the first time in 15yrs, and it still is, to me one of the best rock performances i have ever seen. I work with these young jerk offs all day who jam thier techno horseshit and they haven't got a clue about what real music is. I was recently at a dart tournament and asked them to put this video on during a break, the entire bar froze just to watch mike on drums.

The drummer was pretty good for back in the day. But the song in general was just a bunch of drug induced noise.

I was in High School in 1969. I was at woodstock 1969. My generation, the baby boomers, kicked the shit out of the music of today. Music today sucks many kelvin degrees below zero. My generation produced the greatest Rock N' Roll of all time!

@theundercoveratheist There is some incredible music today if you know where to look.
But you're right, rock n' roll back then was fucking fantastic. A lot of today's mainstream rock is utterly terrible.

Fabulous rock and roll, but Santana got better as he got older. This by no means his best work. He just got wider and deeper.

It was mescaline, he thought his guitar was a viper. "I was scared to let it go."

Might well be the greatest live performance ever..... but one guy who never gets his due David Brown, the bass player. He's the glue that holds it all together. Just an unbelievable band.
whooziss 1 month ago
@whooziss Dave Brown was a really sweet, quiet guy who was as into the music as anybody I've ever seen. I worked the door at one of the major venues in SF. Anytime somebody good was playing, and his band wasn't working, David would show up and spend the whole evening watching, listening and (if the chance came) jamming. Always wondered what ever became of him.
