[69MC97gc]

This is the lineup that broke up-Santana 3 to 8. was friendly live.--but not so after shows-

[szelidrocker]

1:37 !!! best looking ever

[Mrmercuzio1]

Simply FANTASTIC. I get stoned when I see and hear it.

[gavaqueivan]

No mames¡ Que ambientazo.

[UriahRoxx]

Awesome.This is the stuff that ought to be available on DVD.

[Xpsychedelic60sX]

I Live in this world, not the real world..the world full of meaning, beauty and michael shrevie. NOT pubs clubs, chavs and the nourties :(

[chemdah]

You need a large hairdoo to play like this :-)

[DazedConfused1969]

@chemdah Lol whys that ?

[Snake7Plissken]

At 4:18 when they stop playing then it's when Neal is coming on and ending the first part with one heavy riffing. And when they start jamming the second part he's the one that kicks off with awesome soloing. One can here differences on their sound though Neal has a slightly brighter tone with some more distortion then Carlos, and of course Neals vibrato is much more of a heavy-blues-rock stylish way. Listening to Santana III one realizes that Neal was a prodigy becoming an amazing guitarist!

[key2kingdom]

Heroic post Dude.

Amazing to see and hear this. The classic Santana line-up.

[onstageagain]

On the field before the Atlanta Braves-Philadelphia Phillies game yesterday.

Given a civil rights award, Santana indicated that unemployed Black, Hispanic & Whites who want jobs held by illegals are as racist as those who turned on civil rights protesters in the 1960s. Santana is like most bigots who speak,, from the emotional hatred stuck in their guts. not from knowledge or facts ! Look at Americans Santana calls racist for wanting laws to keep employers from hiring illegals



[PBGSURFER65]

@onstageagain You know I had the same problem with Ted Nugent.Loved his music from the 70's,but didn't care for his political views now.I guess you have to forgive them for getting old,and out of touch with what's happening now.

[MrKim2288]

@MrMeddled I'm wondering if that isn't Schon playing that run. Looks like he's on the wah pedal; his hand seem to be in the correct position for those notes.Watch that section again and tell me what you think.

[deltok]

i think this is the true music.

[StephanJK]

Real Music, not that crap, that you hear nowadays.

[dockaiser]

Does Neil Schon ever play a solo ?

[wmonist]

I think that a lot of these negative critcisms of Carlos's guitar playing are way out of line. I've seen him live about 60 times; I have to totally disagree with @davebassify. Did you guys who don't like his playing just watch this video? I saw him tear it up-- incredibly diverse, great guitar playing-- in the 80s many times. Did you ever hear the Moonflower album? How about Lotus? Or the one when he played with John McLaughlin? Amazing playing!

[gibsg62]

@wmonist Carlos Santana ... jamms....always did...always will !

[GringoJet]

@MrMeddled They were loaded up on pot . . . as in stoned . . . . out of it

[swisstv1]

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dann3th3manni3]

Face melting moment in 3... 2... 1... 4:17

[TheGreatStonedOne]

MICHAEL SCHREIVE (I hope I spelled that right) MUTHA FUCKAAA AHHHH!

[csw3604]

No, It's K'naan on bass, Danger Mouse and Dice Clay on percussion, with Arnold Horseshack on guitar!!

[MtlRedAtheist]

I didn't know Mos Def played bass and was an adult in '71. ;)

[pinkus44]

i don't think that is jim morrison at all.  its just some hippie-looking dude.

[tinkerbelle2630]

Is that possibly Jim Morrison 3:00 into clip standing behind Shrieve [drums]

sure does look like him! Another video of Montreux "Taboo" someone else pointed that same look alike out. anyone think this looks like jim?  He was is France and still alive as this was May 1971. If anyone can clean this up on zoom, please post.

[Daveybassify]

P.S> Look who is standung behind the drummer with the big woolly beard. Herbie Herbert. The manager that took Neal and Greg from that band and made them great!

[tinkerbelle2630]

@Daveybassify interesting analogy, While I agree Carlos was average in the world of guitar, he opened the door for latin fusion rock per se. Santana IMO was Greg and Neal. Yea H.Herbert facilitated Rolie and Schon career[s] AKA

Journey. Later with Perry, the record company direction for the band [marketing] was a pop teeny bop sound...radio music.

What is your take on the current Gregg Rolie Band?

[Daveybassify]

@tinkerbelle2630 Sorry Havent heard it. But I just saw a recent concert on HD net with Dennis Chambers on drums.

Carlos was aweful. Sounds like a little kid.

[tinkerbelle2630]

@Daveybassify Gregg Rolie Band tours the local circuit, recently heard a couple of his interviews, he will continue to tour/write/promote/book independently of any record company. Basically Gregg stated, that he preferred not to pursue that direction again. Check out the Gregg Rolie Band, "Roots" some excellent tunes for sure. What is HD? Assuming Carlos was a part of that?

[tinkerbelle2630]

@Daveybassify HD = High Def? Had a brain freeze.

[Daveybassify]

In the world of immensly terrible and overrated guitar players, Carlos tops the list. I appreciate that he brought the latin-rock thing front and center, and its a great accomlishment STYLISTICALLY, but he just plain sucks. sloppy, repetitive and just ultra boring.

Sorry guys, but what has he evolved into (same riffs 40 years later) and what Neal Schon has accomplished...its pathetic.listen to the difference when neal rips that lick around 4:30. HUGE difference. Even the band goes WOW

[chupeaux]

@Daveybassify You're very right, man.

[BuddyWillis]

Doesn't look like any of em have had a hair cut since woodstock :]

[michaelg74]

Neil Schon looks like a baby in this!

[soltisimba]

OK, I will give that album a listen. I saw them in 1968 even before Bill Graham signed them and they were so excellent. I saw them in 1989 and I was not happy with the vocals. One thing I like about this video is all the HAIR!! I cannot get used to the buzzcuts that are standard fare today. I know I am getting old, but it still reminds me of army recruits in the Vietnam War era. Will I ever get used to it before the trend goes back to longer hair?

[ghostwaverider]

Holy crap. I think the Swiss had Hi Def cameras in 1971. That film is clearer than anything Japan or the US produced for another 30 years. I can actually read the settings on Carlos' amps. Unfucking real technology. Oh yeah awesome playing too, as usual.

[12groney]

Mike Shreive- amazing indurance!

[japansogun]

@12groney if,please write the name of this amazing drummer right :

Miachael Shrieve !!!

tahks,JS

[eaglerock999]

magic moment that will always be fresh.......

[Qwazier3]

GET THE HELL UP AND DANCE!!!!!!!! How can those people in the audience just sit there?!!!!?!? Ok there's one guy bobbing his head. Every body else is dead.

[440John]

@Qwazier3 Shut the f*ck-up and quit ordering people around you control freak! If people want to dance they'll dance. If they feel like just sitting there grooving to the vibes that their prerogative!

[jesschahu2010]

esta canción me encanta

[MegaRubbersoul]

And by the way Neal Schon in this video was only 17

[kontiki78]

Is that Jim Morrison al 3.01 or just somebody that looks alot alike?

[sillybear969]

Thank you!

[MegaRubbersoul]

Who is at  :55 to :57??????

[dlm9293]

@MegaRubbersoul Neal Schon...their second guitarist at the time...he and gregg rolie left the band to form journey.

[eaglerock999]

Totally unique,so refreshing from the square pop stuff.......still sounds good.

[fracarciofo]

4:20 F**ck!!! o_0

[taariqtaariq]

carlos was always more a subtle player than neal " screaming wah wah '" schon who was great but that is all he did or still does best .

[joseblunt2157]

Here is another good jam when Neal and Santana when they were really at their peak jamming at the Montreuz Jazz Fest.

[Bopalena]

This was the lineup I saw at the Fillmore East in April of '71 also with Tower of Power on the bill. Amazing night!

[Boomarangtrip]

There have been many great line ups. This is arguably one of the best but I like the Moon Flower line up too. I think Coster brought out Carlos's best playing.

[ActionFigureWorld]

STRAIGHT FROM TIJUANA MEXICO

[essertpitay]

The drummer was something like 15 or 16 at the time...Just awsome...

[D4ni31]

gotta be one of the most fun bands to be in

[MEPG75]

GUMBO!!!!!

[fabianidhesona]

this is music, man.

[santasxgirlfriend]

thats dancing naked around a fire good!

[funkymonksf]

man the only one missing is chepito! bad ass mofo

[eddievelasco]

I agree with Wadidiz on Chambers-Rekow-Perrazo, they're the best possibly ever. Armando was instrumental in keeping the sauce sizzling during the years before Supernatural and had a great influence on Raul Rekow. Thanks Wadidiz, I appreciate the feedback. I truly love this band!!

[eddievelasco]

Where's Chepito?? That's the only player missing from this best group Carlos ever put on stage. The percussion section of Shrive-Areas-Carabello was world class bar none. VIVA SANTANA PA SIEMPRE !!!

[Wadidiz]

Chepito was struck by a brain aneurism and couldn't join the tour. Carabello really didn't like heading out without him. This is great, but imagine how wonderful it would have been with Chepito! Michael Shrieve is my favorite drummer but my favorite conguero ever is Armando Peraza. The current Dennis Chambers-Raul Rekow-Karl Perrazo line up is the best percussion section ever or perhaps a close 2nd to Shrieve-Areas-Peraza of the Lotus era. Raul & Karl have really stepped up over the years.

[tornmask]

very IMPRESSIVE!

[elzizzo]

Lock on now, your description is a bit off because chepito is not playing the timbales on this performance it looks like Pete or Coke Escobedo, where was chepito? I don't know maybe Santana can tell us!

[MarshallAmpMan]

do you know where I can get this dvd?

[soltisimba]

This is not the Woodstock lineup. Schon was still playing in some Bay Area high school band in the summer of 69. But is their best lineup for sure. They always seem to have some crooner for a singer after this who was too poppy for my tastes.

[dlm9293]

@soltisimba it is pretty much the same except for the addition of neal

[RootsinBrooklyn]

@soltisimba Have you ever listened to the Borboletta album? I thought Leon Patillo's voice really worked well with the band; and it would be a stretch to categorize him as any sort of "crooner". Tom Coster had replaced Greg Rollie by then, but is playing lots of B-3 and Rhodes. Carlos' playing is absolutely peaking. Every solo is focused and soulful, and - in my opinion, at least - his tone never sounded better, and was in just the perfect place in the mix. Album is an underappreciated gem.

[DAVO360]

4:19 everyone's like "O_O Holy shit that was crazy!" Lol

[franco23873]

neal schon fantastic

[PortlyPete]

oof... thats why Neal rules.

[kcolpaer]

This, their Woodstock-era lineup was their best.

[Zandico1314]

mexicano yeah guitar mexican

[pantomicino]

que picuda banda la que hacía Santana en esos años parecía que habían tocado juntos desde que tenían 3 años :)

[AbstractMan23]

WOAH - they don't make 'em like this anymore!!

[Apsu72]

The Bass in this song is SWEEEEEET!!!

[benthemiester]

Neal Schone was already tearing that shit up at 15.

[gianca60]

Yea, it means don't have to pay the ticket.

[gianca60]

I always wondered why in those times there were so many people watching on the stage behind the band.

[foutupourfoutu]

You mean you want to be with them

[lightsoundchild]

THERE ARE NO BANDS LIKE THIS TODAY!!!

[MarshallAmpMan]

This was by far the best line up Santana had...to bad they couldn't reunite to bring back the real fire. No offense to the new band but this was THEE band.

[benthemiester]

They did reunite for a few shows in the late 80s, at least the ones that didn't die or become hardcore junkies.

[orlandoCF1]

This is great, what a great posting; thank you. This is vintage, check out how Carlos is trying to get his sustain from his amp bye playing right into the speakers. And Neal is on fire here. Incredible vid.

[007Babylon]

deluded, this is cool. Neal is so young.

[gvinny2]

Carlos

[heyjudy1]

tightest band i ever saw. The BEST Santana lineup ever. Santana III is the best LP they did...just kicks ass!

[HippieBubbaPower]

Cool! I have DVD's of Santana at Montreux, but most of them are from the late 1980's through now. I didn't know that Santana played at Montreaux that early. I mean, his band was still just starting to become popular. But, it is still awesome! I only have one question: Is that jam they did after Neil Schon's solo an extension of the song "Jingo," or is it it's own song? It was cool!

[cavemanfarts]

It's called Gumbo. But I think theres only a live version of it. I'm pretty sure it's on the Santana III remastered. The song is completely different by the way :)

[firstbooob]

HISTORY MADE...

[VercettiVice]

neal schon incarnated hendrix's soul for 15 seconds.

[JCHarper]

Viva Sanatana!! What a band!!

[MEPG75]

sus primeros 4 albunes son una maravilla

[ClubParadiso]

Obviously, from this bunch of chicanos and white boys learning "how to do it, the best way", Miles and Jimi is missing badly...or Bernie Worrell and Bootsie Collins...Oh God, these sounds are pure living pulses...

[ju30000]

wouha il était déchiré le santana!

[azur980]

is this jingo

[boxingin]

Great jam section by a bunch of awsome mucicians. I love the way the Conga player starts jamming with the Tamborine! Great stuff!

[housemandoc23]

Damn, Neal is amazing, I think he is way underrated and Carlos is also amazing, great band, great era for music, then 80's also with Journey!

[Teddy17bossa]

Oh My! Remins me of my first concert at the San Diego Sports Arena in 1971, seeing Carlos and crew, and many people o'ding all around the concert floor. I was 13 yrs. old my first Santana concert!

[eyby20]

Nice crisp video!!!! LOVE IT!

[auroravoreal1]

excelente, wau, que super guitarrista. me gusta su musica . gracias., me parece que el estubo en el festival de abandaro.

[MarshallAmpMan]

Is this show available on DVD?  Thanks.

[zoubi009]

At 4:18s Neal as the great Jimi!!!

What guitar he plays? Stratocaster?

what

[Steckdosensalat]

NO both are playing a Les Paul from Gibson. The one is a gold top and the other maybe a standard or 59er what ever bt never ever a Strat....

The songs and sounds just kicking ass man

Peace

[thestratlars]

Or Neal as Eric Clapton in Cream!! Only sped way up!!

[IvanAtlas]

2:22 "...he's bangin' on the bongos, like a chimpanzee" to quote Mark Knoffler from the Dire Straits song 'Money For Nothing'

[omko73]

ya salaam ; quality both music and recording(relativley) !

[BryterLayter26]

Neal Schon + Carlos Santana together = FUCKING SEXY

[phoneix91]

is there a dvd of this. I know that viva santana dvd had some late 60s stuff , but has some shitty ass commentary that blocks all of the concert sound off.

[NGC660]

hot stuff

[lenini056]

That 2nd song is gumbo

[Nandito2006]

un clasicaso con el que toda banda rock desearia abrir un concierto live...bien santana..buen clip

[kottmeier]

Very cool, thanks for posting. This was in June 1971 and in December of that year this casino would burn down during a Frank Zappa concert and the incident would become immortalized in Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water".

[lalobill]

de acuerdo

[claudiofreakhorse66]

Esta musica,este estilo antes de el no existia.

Carlos Santana ,creador del rock latino,yeahh!!!!,desde Argentina un saludo.

[bluedream1252]

Neal is a shredder no doubt, but you just can't compare carlos and neal, they are both very talented. I just can't replace the special unique sound that carlos put out... i just can't.

[ttvazquez]

Thanks for the video, Carlos was kind of cute back then...skinny but cute!

[cunttt43]

This is beautiful, i feel like i was born 3 decades too late!

[gerry20009]

yes, you were

[Frankmen99]

Andaban bien marijuanos...

[gerry20009]

¡¡¡¡ L S  D !!!!

[journeymusic]

WHOLLY CRAP I WAS LIKE 2 OR 3 AT THE TIME.

[paradis59]

l'année de ma naissance trop bon

[n2motocross]

Neal Schon at 5:21-5:31 JAMMING!!!!!

No offense, but Neal kinda puts Carlos to shame.

[SatanTusk]

Kind of? hah

[Jivestreeter]

Órale,

You got THAT right Homes'!

[kasponya]

OK Journey heads: Last time I checked music wasn't a competitive sport.....personally I love both Carlos and Neil and I don't have the need to put it on a vertical scale. To me it's not about how many notes or how fast......sometimes one note can tell a whole story........

[goonbot3030]

youve got a choice of about 5 grooves to move to each player is amazing

[cadeneaux]

Santana c'est la sève des arbres, le sang dans les veines, c'est la transe,ça tue....

[raymax3000]

The bass player is David Brown, not Doug Rauch (which was whom I searched)

[thehitman000]

great quality video...nice

[mexicanpowerX3]

hahaha neal schon was too thin!

[Renhjarta]

Wow, Neal is really cookin' up there!

[bolillo239]

greatness!

[SoulTooSoul]

Satana helped to usher in the Bay Area sound. It was an amalgamation of styles of music. This group helped to change our perception of rock and pop music. This early incarnation, I believe was their best group. They helped expose AfroCuban and Salsa music to a wider audience. You can sense they were on a mission to win the minds, hearts, and souls of their listeners. Santana were the youngbloods, out to conquer the world.

[franco23873]

Neal Schon is the guitarrist of journey?

[dollylw]

Thanks for the treasure! I love seeing Carlos singing!

[askmeicare]

Wow look at Neil!

[abraxas505]

YEA MAN THATS COKE ON TIMBALES !!

[dalung]

Neal finished Jingo in a beastly way!

[dieneshugi]

Thanks for great music,Velubyy.

[jgstargazer]

A blast from the past! Thanks for posting this great video!

[teb4ever7]

wow great performances even neal schon was jamming the crowd loved it

[groovebassist]

Chepito wasnt acually playing with the band around this time. He suffered from a brain aneurysm around this time. Coke stepped in while he recovered.

[oa]

And the band was NOT happy about going on tour without him.

[sunflowerfields]

Thanks so much for posting!! I've only seen lower quality versions of these songs, so thanks again! :D
