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.

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.

    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.

The energy from this whole concert at Tanglewood is incredible.

    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.!!

    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.

For me, that has been what has always been what has made them special over the years.

      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.

    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.

    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.

      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).

    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.

    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!

    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.
