I live half hour east of cedar point , good times ... love your videos
I've just got to get this off my chest. I've been a musician for 40 years, and I have played with black, white, Latino, Asian, every race, color, and creed, never heard a racist word, just respect and love. This racism huckstering has got to stop. All these race baiters and political hucksters just want to divide us. As I'm writing this, tears are rolling down my face. Don't believe the hype, good people, people are people, all God's people. Love, harmony, and Peace! God's love. ✌🤟👋🤙Santana ❤💛💚💙
Yes. They are doing it to us.
❤❤❤
There are no gods and there are no races but the human race. Politics divide and so does religion.
@@andersandersen6295 The human race is rigged.
Amen
Your remark about "worst dressed" era having the best music was spot on. Back then it was all about the music. They didn't need backup singers and dancers to hide mediocre talent.
Yep!😊
Everyone raves about Page, EVH and Hendrix, as they should but Carlos Santana should be included in that conversation. He and his band are/ we're nothing short of AMAZING! Carlos has always been an underrated genius.
I've been fortunate to have seen Santana 5 times in Concert ; and have been Amazed every time !!!
When they performed at woodstock 1969, they were a relatively unknown band at the start of their set. By the time their set was over they were a legend. Every member of the band looks like they were doing their own thing but they melded into a harmonious hole. They were one of the best bands at woodstock.
Amen brother! The full version of "Soul Sacrifice" at Woodstock was the real deal just kickin' ass from start to finish. Saw him a couple of years ago and he was still rockin' strong. Peace.
Must see video!
Wow… this brings back memories of them practicing their music in a garage across the street from me. I was about 6 or 7 and they’d open the garage and start playing, so I’d take my sleeping bag and sleep on the balcony, while listening to Santana practice across the street. Who knew they’d become so famous and now I have one of the most amazing memories from my childhood.
You really need to listen to Soul Sacrifice from this same concert at Tanglewood. Mike Shreve, the drummer, once said his drum solo at Tanglewood for Soul Sacrifice was better than his solo at Woodstock. And that performance was legendary. The energy from this whole concert at Tanglewood is incredible.
THIS!!!
Ooo, I'll have to watch. Thank you!
This is what we need. All races coming together to make beautiful art.
That "guy on the keys" was Greg Rolie who was one of the founding members of the bands Santana as well as Journey with guitarist Neal Schon. The first two Journey albums sound more like Santana then what Journey ended up being after Steve Perry showed up. Maybe I'm crazy but those are my two favorite Journey records. Worth listening to.
I can only sit here, jaw dropped, completely gobstruck by this performance. I always knew I liked Santana but never dove into his work. KILLER stuff here!
This is my favorite era of rock music. Uncanned and raw. Just great musicians able to control their own content. Their live version of Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock is an EPIC performance.
I was also going to recommend the Woodstock Soul Sacrifice. My favorite of Santana is Europa, a smooth flowing guitar.
The long, un-abbreviated version.
I will also add that the soul sacrifice from the album “moonflower” is also incredible and underrated. Not that it’s as good as the Woodstock performance, but still highly recommend if you haven’t heard!
@@tommysalami131 Most definitely heard just about all of Santana I could find. In 1973 I was 13 and got two tickets to Santana for a concert on my birthday when we lived in Frankfurt, Germany (U.S. army brat). I could only go with my older brother and he got sick that day and I could only look at the unused tickets for years tacked to my wall. I finally got to see Santana in person around 1985 in Oregon.
Have to watch Woodstock Soul Sacrifice!!!!
This was the Original "Santana" band & IMHO the very best.!! I'm a drummer myself (& play 17 other instruments..) & of course I'm a huge fan of Micheal Shrieve, their drummer. But Chepito Areas, the timbalero (plays Timbales & Congas/bongos) is one of the best in the World.!! He's from Nicaragua & has a very special & different "feel" for the way he plays.!! It's like the icing on the cake...the "Latin Spice"..!! They played "Woodstock" the year before (1969) & nobody outside San Francisco/Oakland knew who they were.!? They didn't even have an LP out yet.!! But Bill Graham, a Concert promoter who had faith in them & their music...GOT them the Gig at "Woodstock".!! They've gone through various "line-ups" but they're always GREAT.!!
Great reaction! I was happy to see someone react to this piece. It is my favorite of this concert. The transition between the two songs is outstanding. This was August 1970. One year after their Woodstock performance. The group almost forms a circle to play with themselves. They do not play to the audience. Carlos stands in front of the amps to get a good feedback sound. This is the tech of 1970 analog. It sounds great because this was recorded for a live album. I bought the album because of the youtube video I never knew existed. Thanks for your reaction. Good Luck BP
I rewatch this Tanglewood concert every few months. I just love it.
High energy Latino vibe with mucho percussion and Santana's singing guitar. Grew up on Santana. In college in Florida the Cuban guys I was working with on a project asked if I ever listened to Santana and I said "Who"? Been a devoted fan ever since......oh, and avocados. I had never had an avocado. Yes, I have been a fan ever since. Great music. Great food. Viva Mexico.
(you can learn a lot in college if you keep your eyes and ears open)
What a great beginning of my day with some kind of water running from my eyes............Love early Santana......the whole concert is amazing. Great reaction. Thanks, you made my day.
This is your first Santana?! Ok, ok, ok, gotta see and hear Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock.... The long version with the whole drum solo. ✌️👵
Isnt that when Carlos battled the snake that his guitar turned into? Ha ja
@@tomaslongoria2449 I heard Carlos say that in an interview. 😂
Yep. Their set had been scheduled for 3am. Jerry Garcia came by with some acid in the afternoon and they thought they'd have plenty of time to trip and come down by the time they had to play. A short time later a band was cancelled and they had to play in that slot. All tripping their brains out. Santana and Michael Shereve confirmed this. The neck of Santana's guitar turned into a snake that he was trying to hold on to, thus the "ugly faces" he made. At one point the camera caught Micheal Shereve laughing at the sky. They were all in the energy.
The abridged version is an abomination and cuts out the best rock drum solo in history. No one should ever recommend or watch it.
Playing music with incredible musicians was the greatest joy in my life. Im 64 now and its over. Sad.
Hey Polo,
Just a few interesting facts about two of the band members from Santana. Gregg Rollie is one of original members of Santana. He was their original lead singer and original keyboardist. Carlos hired guitarist Neal Schon when he was only 16. Since he was constantly skipping school to go to jam sessions, he parents actually allowed him to quit school so he could join the band. That’s how phenomenal Neal was and still is. Both Gregg and Neal left Santana in 1971. With the help and guidance from Herbie Herbert, they formed the iconic band Journey. Gregg continued to sing lead as well as write and play multiple key boards. In 1978, Steve Perry was hired as the lead singer. Steve’s voice and Gregg’s voice together was amazing. Neal is still the lead guitarist for Journey. I personally enjoy the music that was produced while Gregg was still with the band and most certainly when Steve Perry was with the band. His vocal range was stunning! Even now at 74, Steve still sounds amazing.
That keyboardist is Greg Rollie. Greg and another founding member of Santana went on to form another great Band, "Journey". That other member is guitarist Neal Schon. Neal was 15 years old when Carlos asked him to join, "Santana."
Ahh the Clueleness of Youth !!! 😆
The 1960s-70s was all about Free-expression in Clothing with Colors and anything goes it was great Man !!
And we "All" got along and I grew up in a Big Eastern City !!! 💖🎶✌
This performance is the definition of the expression “it’s in their blood”. The music connects with Carlos and the band on such a visceral level that it’s almost an out of body experience for them and for us, the audience. For me, that has been what has always been what has made them special over the years.
"Carlos, how big and crazy a rythm section do you need?" Calos: "Yes!"
You hear a Santana song and you recognize his sound immediately. He still tours, please go see him!
Santana's latin influenced percussions have always been top notch!
I just saw Santana last year and was blown away. I have always liked their music and his philosophy on life. He is amazing. I read that Carlos found the drummer on the streets begging a few years and helped him re-turn his life around. Carlos' wife now plays the drums in the band and she is also amazing .
That was the bassist. The drummer is a professor at some conservatory.
@@chadmicheal4253 no, it wasn't the bassist. It was none of these guys
@@pmsfar-outgrooviness8025 it was the conga player. Not the drummer nor the bassist. 🤷🏼♂️
@@chadmicheal4253 not the conga player in this video
The homeless guy was Marcus Malone, the first percussionist (congas mostly) from the Santana Blues Band who was with them for the first 3 years before they became famous. He went to prison a few months before Woodstock, and was replaced by Chepito Areas. Carlos got him off the streets in 2013, and got him playing music again shortly after. Sadly he was badly injured in 2016, and passed in 2021. Malone co-wrote Soul Sacrifice (the conga part that was the basis for the song).
Santana, great Mexican music leyend. Hope he stays with us for years
I'm not usually into Latino style but with the African rhythms that music can grab you and keep in its trance-like vibe.
Awesome! Please do the studio full length version of "AllI Ever Wanted" and or his studio version cover of "She's Not There" both are absolute fire!!!!!!
The real Santana Band, if just for your eyes and ears listen to this whole Tanglewood performance!
Great lineup. The drummer Michael Shrieve was only 20 when they played Woodstock. This is pretty close to the Woodstock lineup. They were really firing on all cylinders here.
saw them in 69. Pittsburgh, Pa. They opened for Janis and the crowd would not let them leave the stage.
You only need to hear one note to know it's Santana!
Carlos Santana introduced Afro/Latino fusion to the world and the world loved it
The conga-player in the white shirt is Pete Escovedo... Happens to be the father of Sheila E.
wow, did not know that!
Polo, as a youngster in the 1960s we would go to Cedar point Ohio just about every summer. I also had the opportunity to see Carlos Santana at Woodstock in 1969. You should check out the live performance of Woodstock and the song soul sacrifice. I hope you enjoy it if you ever get there to watch it.
His band is so tight. Got to dig his Percussions.
I remember where I was the first time I heard his first album at a black friend’s house. I had not heard of him and she asked me over to hear it on her new stereo. It was a sound we had not heard before. This was in Detroit where we grew up around Motown music. We were entranced by his beats and his type of music. That’s was probably 1969. Wow!
What a time for experiencing great new music!
Yeah, check out "Santana at Tanglewood-1970" . That whole concert is a privilege to watch & listen to..!! So glad it's still available..!!
F'n tribal to the core. Saw him much later (90s) in Minneapolis. Then-Governor Jessie Ventura came on stage and jammed bongos. ❤🧡💚💙💜
I was lucky to see Santana in the mid seventies and they were excellent just one huge paty everyone dancing you can't not move to this music, even my hubby was dancing and that's not usually his thing lol, it was a festival with lots of bands but Carlos stole the show and was number one in my opinion. The seventies was excellent as all musicians were top notch and could jam for hours and did so regularly when performing on stage. makes me realise how fortunate I was to see so many great live bands
What a story; to be told you have to go at 18; cruel. You did it; you provided for yourself from such a very young age who now has a following of people who love to watch your music reactions, not just for the music, but your witty commentary. Well done, Sir. About the song Jingo; my first introduction to it was a cover disco version as a kid in the late 70’s; that and the original will always be a banger! Next Santana song MUST be “OYE COMO VA” 🔥
That Hammond Organ sound was Greg Rollie on it!
Ive know about this oerformance for about 😊a decade, and the organ player is the highlight for me. How many bands have an organ player? Homeboy tore that performance up.
OMG!! I remember. Thanx for this young sir.
Carlos had an interview on Sixty Minutes years ago. He spoke frankly about how he was sexually abused by a man when he was young. After many years, he saw a therapist and was able to talk about it. It affected his whole life. When I heard this I thought to myself that the incredible display of emotion that he brings to his music comes from his soul. It’s pain as well as joy. What an artist!
When I was younger I would sit in my bedroom for hrs. Any play my bongos to their records.
The song called persuasion from that tanglewood show and the woodstock version of soul sacrifice are my favorites
I love your comment: "When these guys were kids, they were out beating on buckets with sticks. They were born to play the drums." No doubt about that. I'm 71 and my very first cassette for my new cassette player in my old '61 Ford Falcon was Santana's first album. I wore the damn thing out. And would you believe that my parents bought it for me for Christmas? I hadn't even heard of Santana until I got that tape. Thanks to my Mom & Dad in heaven. I think of you whenever I hear this wonderful music. Love you. 🥰
Story goes: The Conga player, from Africa found Carlos when he was playing on the street with his guitar case on the sidewalks of San Francisco for small change, & jammed with him. The first song he taught Carlos was this song, "Jingo", the driving sensual drum rhythm that was played for African newlyweds right after their ceremony & on their way to the Groom's hut. The ongoing throbbing rhythm & party outside also muffled or covered up any groans, moans, or screams emanating from the couples hut. Another story: Bill Graham, the owner of the Fillmore West, first met Carlos when he caught him in the act of climbing thru the 2nd story alley window of his very own office. Turns out Carlos could not afford to pay to get in so He used his inner-city climbing skills to get up to the open window he spotted from below or so said the rumors I heard at the time. I saw Santana there at the Fillmore, 1970, high on weed & LSD. I spent the whole concert standing (Just one big/gigantic floor) in front of amplifier stacks 10 to 12 feet tall on either side of the stage, which were fed by having the smaller (still 6 to 8 foot stacks of amps for each musician) miked & fed to the Large stacks- INCREDIBLE SOUND probably illegal now. I was one of those who yelled between each song (the only time voices from the crowd could be heard) "TURN IT UP" What an incredible night (what I remember). But I went Deaf for about 3 days I could not hear anything. I had to use sign language & paper notes to communicate. I did this many times ( I got 2 free complimentary tickets at least 2 out of 4 weeks & saw many legends in their PRIME: Jefferson Airplane, Loggins & Messina, Grateful Dead, Procal Harum, Quiclsilver Messenger Service, It's A Beautiful Day, & more) What time, what a place (late 60's early 70's Bay Area) So lucky to have been there. I also used headphones turned up all the way for decades, I'm now 76, still like it loud, & nothings wrong with my hearing, my mind that's another thing. Don't try this at home-Leave it to a BOOMER!
Masters at work powerful like hell and everything comes so effortless
WOW
masterclass by masterful musicians
Bro I heard the studio version back inthe day on Vinyl up and down which was juist great but I never watched that live performance until now and this on your channel! It just blows anything out of the water for me! No telling what a recording that would have been if back then they would have had the high quality audio recording capabilities technically speaking, but nevertheless even then I think it's save to say their is no match for this out there. Not back in the day and certainly not nowadays when everybody thinks just because he has a computer he can make music with a certain program. And the fun and passion they apparently had doing their thing! Just amazing!
Santana is awesome. You need to check out: Europa, Samba pa ti, and Se a Cabo,
You’ve GOT TO GIVE Robin Trower’s Bridge of Sighs a listen.
Yes Polo, this ☝️
❤ Cedar Point! Live in the area, like your channel.
What a great performance.
One of my biggest regrets was not seeing Santana in London when I had the chance in ‘78.
Seen all the majors,but never saw Carlos.
☹
That guy on the keys will be a founding member of journey in a few years
I'm 78 and was a Rock Music driver!!! Through my '63 Impala SS, '66 Chevelle, '68 Camaro SS/RS 396/375 and finally my '69 427 Vette ) it was Stones, Santana, J Geils, etc., blood pumping music driving. while the speeding tickets (all freeway) accumulated. Then it was marriage, kids, a family sedan and talk radio. A real dork. But the Rock guy is still lurkjng!!!
I wish I was young again. We didn't have computers so we learned how to do things. Young people are just sitting around looking at their phones.
I was 9 years old when this record was released, and Jose Chepiro Areas, the little guy on timbales who gave that band their sound ... became one of my percussion idols, I'm also a drummer since birth, and as fate would have it, I met Chepito in the early 90's, we became friends, and I was honored that my childhood idol asked me to play with him at a couple of parties he was throwing. As much as it was a dream come true to play with this master, I really wanted more than anything to just watch his amazing style and energy, so I'd let a friend of his take my drums for a song, so that I could just sit, watch and absorb ... he';s still got it! After their third album, Santana started adding more players, and or changing a few ... so I stopped listening to Santana after that because this band right here was magic! No other line up could compare to this one. This band right here was so good together, and so tight because they had the know how to just "listen" to what everyone else was doing, and that is what makes magic in any band.
what a dream come true for u!
Thanks. This brought back some memories. Born in 57, and lived through the birth and changes of rock and roll during the 60’s. I love the rock and blues from the late 60’s and through the 70’s, what you would call classic rock.
Live 2 years ago, still jammed 🔥
Hi, if you love this one? Check out the LONG version of Soul Sacrifice - Santana at WOODSTOCK. A 20 year old drummer, Michael Shrieve's solo will blow your mind. Carlos was on Fire!!! Gregg Rollie on that Organ❤ I hope you enjoy.
Santana --- "EUROPA" --- The #1 cause for getting a speeding ticket ---
* at least when I was a youngster 😎
They were not a band, they were a tribe, they were not the best dressed guys, but their talent took them sky high, all of them
One of the best pick guitarists, in my opinion.
Really great story at the beginning.
The thing I notice on this video is that Carlos Santana is NOT standing out in the front of the band taking all the credit and love from the audience. His band is in front of him. Yes, I know he needed to be near the speakers to get good feedback but, they could have been moved to the front too. He always lets his band shine. I have seen him numerous times and the band he works with is always top notch.
Yes, he always did. Always collaborating and mentoring. His gift to the world!
that's because it wasn't his band in the beginning, it was a democracy
THIS IS REALLY A STUNNING PIECE OF MUSIC
que poca emocion le pones
Fortunate enough to see them 3 times. First time was as a lead act for the Grateful Dead. When this unknown band Santana started playing, everybody looked at each other and said, "Who the fuuccckkk are these guys!!!"
CARLOS TY TY TY
Polo- you gotta see their live performance at Woodstock- unshortened. They were one of the first bands to bring the Latin sound. ❤
You deserve the very best in life- and you’re doing a terrific job as a sensitive and insightful reactor.
Try out Soul Sacrifice also from this concert or from Woodstock
If reincarnation is real, next time I'm coming back as a drummer. 🥁 This was a fantastic performance.
Soul Sacrifice from Woodstock is an AMAZING piece of film. And the kid behind the drum kit was a prodigy. Didn't really get a full runout here. You GOTTA watch the Woodstock clip.
Absolutely, but don’t listen to the abbreviated short version. Michael Shrieve’s drum solo is legendary!
I think the guy on keyboards is from early Journey
Then: Mike Shrieve on drums. Now: Mrs Satana!
there are no youngsters that can even comprehend playing like this today because there are to much electronics envolve...
thank you for sharing that short Bio about yourself....
This looks like their performance at Tanglewood.
this looks like the original lineup from the 60s - yes!! let's face it - one of the most exciting live performances of its time! - we partied to this music!
We saw a video a couple of years ago when Carlos caught up with one of his percussionists in LA. It was a touching piece, knowing that the guy had done something like a decade in jail for distribution. He invited Carlos into his home where they jammed a bit and caught up on old times.
@@gistechrep3816 Marcus Malone was jailed for manslaughter for killing a man with a knife. He had been living on the streets for decades when a reporter found him and got in touch with Santana's people.
You and anybody that don't know SANTANA go back and listen to SANTNA live at the Fillmore West 1968 out of the vault.(was not released) the brother in the black sombrero, was the one on congo's and bongos this was before Woodstock ( you people must know your musical history). do a search YT.
Gotta check out Soul Sacrifice from the Woodstock movie. make sure it is the long version and not the edited version .
Check out Soul Sacrifice same concert!
I worked in a Pepsi Cola Warehouse for 35 yrs. I feel the same way about Pepsi, put it on a truck take it off a truck same thing everyday for YEARSSSSS AHHH!! I live in Mich and we would travel to Cedar Point all the time GR8 place if you don't work there lol. Carlos is the real deal. Peace home slice
3:22 Gregg Rollie on the keyboards [a freaking Hammond!] listen carefully and don't try this at home!
Must listen to Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock!
Carlos was great, is great but he has always had great bands around him too.
if you have their live album "Sacred Fire" from 1993 you will have just about all the Santana you need to have a good time to this style of music. Great for a road trip
Not the same band as this.
Santana was the major soundtrack to my entire life. This is from his first couple years. You need to check out Abraxis, Caravanserai, and most especially his concert in Watsonville. You will be forever changed. He has over 65 albums.
Not just beautiful music, its spiritual, got to be them drums
My husband saw them EVERY time they were in Chicago and area from the 70s unto the 2000s! I was beginning to think he was in the band!! At one point, world renown percussionist, Tito Puente, toured with them adding his particular arsenal of bongos, congas, marimbas and more! Great , great band especially live!!
He's collaborated with and mentored so many talented musicians -- I think that's his true legacy.
We of the Woodstock era, did know our music, didn't we? That is when it was REALLY music. Gotta love Santa. Stay strong Polo. You have a GREAT site, as I have said before.
way late here. this is my fave percussion section. Note Carlos generally plays behind the percussion. how many band leader / stars does that ? tangle wood Boston concert ? also Utube from tanglewood , best tambourine player ever - , and the guitar may be derivative or whatever but I love the lead . (doesn't matter but I think a 'George Harrison' model guitar. ). - tune ' White Bird' from Beautiful day.
Haha....I'm from Cleveland and did Cedar point many times
Side 1 of Santana’s album “Abraxis” is about as good as it comes.
I used to have the live double CD ‘Lotus’ by Santana and the whole thing vibed like this, from start to finish it was a musical trip. I used to immerse myself in it, headphones on, lights off, just magical stuff.
Amazing
I love Cedar Point. I did get dumped last time I went there though!
