This is considered one of the most iconic performances from Woodstock. They had taken acid thinking they were scheduled to perform in the evening but were asked to perform early in the afternoon instead.
Too bad they saw an edited version of the "iconic" performance, one that cuts out everything it's "iconic" for.
It's frustrating for people like me to see reactions to edited material or bad sounding versions. It is passing on misinformation which is wrong@@TTM9691
Yes, too many reaction videos only watch the heavily edited version of this. It cuts all the energy out of the performance.
They hadn't even released their first album at this point.
Another cool fact is their first Album wasn't released yet , they got invited and went to do promotion , the Stars aligned that day for the band , Carlos talking about the neck of the guitar swerving like a snake while he's playing is the best lol
I have read that the drummer was 19 years old when this was filmed. This clip is an edited version. The drum solo was WAY longer.
Santana should complain and have this hack job taken down.
All edited versions should be sent to middle earth.@@carrerlluna66
Yeah, I was disgusted. I'm watching this video and waiting for the iconic solo, THAT'S what this clip is famous for, not just them playing the head. Unbelievable some moron would cut this down. What a waste of my time this reaction was....and it's not THEIR fault! They're just watching the clip that's on You Tube! What a total friggin' waste. People have really gotten dumbed down, that's for sure. If there's one clip from Woodstock that didn't need editing, it's Santana's. What a pathetic waste of time. Why even watch it? It's like.....they don't even understand what makes this great. (and again, I'm not talking about the reactors).
And Carlos was BLAZING! They told him he would perform later so he thought he had time to trip, come down and then play. They came to him later and told him "it's now or never" and he went on. The whole time he was just trying to stay in tune and time while his guitar neck appeared like a serpent.
@@OneWrytyr That's the story of EVERY band at Woodstock. The Who were tripping balls. The Dead. The Jefferson Airplane. John Sebastian. Everyone's set got moved around and they went on when they weren't ready. The sound sucked at Woodstock, and most bands sucked at Woodstock (Santana, not withstanding). Monterey Pop Festival was the one you'd want to go back in time to visit, not friggin' Woodstock. The Who and Hendrix SUCKED at Woodstock; their sets at Monterey were iconic and career-making (as was Janis' performances, and others).
Woodstock was a turning point, a milestone in history. This was the largest gathering of people for a concert and there was a incredible vibe of peace, love and brotherhood. People were caring about and helping each other despite food shortages, toilet shortages, mud and other situations. I almost got to go with a friend but I was totally broke and living in S. Florida so I just couldn't. I did make it to some other festivals which, while not as large, had the same vibes. It was incredible and I would love to re-live those times - they were magical and exciting. There is absolutely nothing today that can compare to it.
Oh puh-leeze - people still do this stuff all the time. They're called raves. You sound like you're a fossil.
"When I was in the war, everything was better back in my day!"
Compare that to Woodstock 99. The festival was marred by difficult environmental conditions, overpriced food and water, poor sanitation, sexual harassment and rapes, rioting, looting, vandalism, arson, violence, and several deaths, leading to media attention and controversy that vastly overshadowed coverage of the musical performances.
@@Tampahophow is that relevant? The claim is Woodstock 69 was a milestone in human history. I reckon that's rubbish.
@@ivanjulian2532 I was comparing the worlds of 1969 and 1999. Call it peace and free love versus violence and anarchy. Which Woodstock would you prefer?
@@ivanjulian2532 But you did reply. That indicates some level of interest above zip, or do you often reply to posts that mean zip to you? I normally give a shrug and move on.
I was there and honestly, most people didn't know who they were before playing but never forgot them afterwards.
I was there, too. I remember an electric feeling shooting through the crowd when we all tuned in to how great what we were hearing was!
for a lot of bands Woodstock was a launching pad for their careery and fame
The whole band was tripping very hard on LSD, which is why the creativity and connection is stellar.
Thank you Jerry! RIP
Actually was mescaline according to Carlos, but he might be tripping!
Specifically he was peaking and has said his guitar was turning into a snake, and he was trying to keep it from escaping.

FYI- this is the editted UA-cam video of the song. The drum solo was much longer. The Woodstock movie and soundtrack album had the full length version. I think UA-cam has it as well but the video is lower quality
You’re definitely cheating yourself if you’re not watching the long version. Easy access on UA-cam to find it.
Happy to see I'm far from the only person to point this out. Can you believe anyone would edit this down? What a friggin' jackass, whoever it was. Unbelievable. Just when you thought people on this planet couldn't get stupider, along comes some rodent who thinks what this clip needs is the editing out of the best part of the video. Unfuckingbelievable. Almost as bad as the no talent idiots who colorize black & white footage.
Took my daughters to the Woodstock site in Bethel and toured the grounds and museum this summer. To my generation this is holy ground. I had just graduated high school when the concert happened and my brother got married that weekend so I wasn't there. The place gave me chills 54 years later.
1) the drummer was 20
2) they cut out like 5 minutes of drum solo here
3) if the keyboard player looks familiar, he is in Journey
4) Santana was peaking on mescaline at the time, and thought his guitar was changing into a snake.... he was holding on for his life
This was true lol
Santana hadn't even released their first album yet; it was still 2 weeks out from this. Really enjoyed this guys!
Interesting fact Santana recorded a concert over several days live at the Fillmore West in 1968 eight months before their first album came out; but this recording would not be released until 1997. The music was considered outstanding and really set the stage for them to play venues'.
Yes, and that's why they were the lowest paid group at Woodstock. No one was better.
Bill Graham insisted that this new band he manages get a spot on Woodstock or he refused to help the organizer who was in way over his head.
I would go back in a heart beat! No cell phones, covid or large people! Just music and brotherhood!
just music and brotherhood...and Vietnam and the draft and Nixon and.....I'll take now, thank you.
yes sirrrr
And the clap.
Michael Shrieve on drums one of the most underrated of all time. The keyboardist is Greg Rollie who would later co-found the band Journey with guitarist Neil Schon who also played with Santana.
My oldest brother miguel from Washington DC was 19 years old when he attended Woodstock. He was thrilled to see Santana, Janis Joplin, ten years after and Jefferson Airplane with Grace slick. Way to go mick.
Carlos kept hallucinating that his guitar was a serpent. That's why at times he seems to be grimacing away from the neck of the guitar. To me this and the Sly Stone Take You Higher we're two of the most exciting moments of the festival.
The musicianship is incredible. Drummer only 19.
He was so young the enormity of the moment didn't even faze him. Ahh, to be young and unafraid...
Too bad this video cuts out all of his musicianship.
he currently lives in Seattle and has a band of his own.
54 years ago. After the forced conservatism of the 2nd World War....this was really the start of the breakdown of that conservative era. Young people don't realise how much the 60s-70s changes made to their own upbringing...because it was their parents who busted out of the WW2 era of thinking. Woodstock was a major part of that.
Btw...the band were tripping while playing.
Y'all definitely need to watch the Woodstock movie, to get a feel for what a crazy event it really was.
The young man on the drum kit is the Star! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Santana was the only band to play Woodstock that didn’t have an album out. They released the first album one month after Woodstock.
They took acid and then had to go on earlier than expected just as they started peaking. Awesome performance!
The drummer was the second youngest performer at Woodstock. His drum solo on this song was close to 10 minutes long. They really clipped it in this video. The band performed at Woodstock before they had released their first album, so most people there didn't know who they were.
His name is Billy (he's still alive.) He had just turned 20 a few weeks earlier. But I don't know who the youngest performer was. I had been told that Billy was the youngest performer. All the performers I can think of from that era who were under the age of 20 (most of the Jackson-5, a few of the Cowsills, Mary Hopkin, Ronnie Dyson) were not on the bill. Maybe a member of a band who was not known individually by the public?
@@maryk446He is Michael Shrieve. Don’t know if he was known as Billy. The youngest performer was a member of Sha Na Na. Henry Gross.
@@tommccafferty5591 Yes. I just looked it up and he is named Michael. What made me think his name was Billy? He looks like a "Billy" to me! And I also looked up who the youngest Woodstock performer was. Henry gave an interview where he said that Woodstock was not the magical event it has been portrayed as.
The full drum solo is like 2 minutes long, not 10 lmao
@@tricko8000 I do believe you’re wrong.
This was a moment in history when a generation of people came together to celebrate music and many other things as it turns out. It was a different time and place and sadly never to be repeated.
Anybody who was alive in 1969 would want to go back. People crowded together, and yet we were healthy, of a good weight and a sound mind, for the most part. Kids, especially, weren't walking around depressed all the time, head in their phone, scared to associate with others, even large crowds of others. There is a mental wellness that comes from optimism and living without fear.
Carlos is a master musician, this band has been badass for a very long time. ☮🥁☘
What a good band they are over 400,000 people and there wasn't any fights everybody was tripping and having a great time
Everytime I see this, the percussion blows me away... Especially Michael Schrieve. Wow... Just WOW
The Santana percussionists are mind-blowing. Sensational.
They took a trip ,, and never left the farm.🎸🎵🔊
It was the love of music!
The big difference between then and now is that todays kids couldn’t have handled it! Three days in the heat and rain, lack of food and water - they’d be wanting to speak to the manager.
😂😂very true. I was not there and 16 years old in India but could feel the vibe even there, saw tge movie 3 times in one day when it was released in theaters
This is the best lineup that Santana ever had.
Michael Shrieve was Santana's young drummer at the 1969 Woodstock. At 20 years old he was the second youngest performer at Woodstock. His drum solo here during "Soul Sacrifice" has been described as "electrifying", although he considers his solo during the same piece in 1970 at Tanglewood the superior performance.
CSN was at Woodstock. Watch the movie. It literally became like a city of its own for a few days. Births, deaths, thunderstorms, muddy fields, National Guard was called in to help feed people. Amazing story.
Love this - a moment in musical history!
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young were there. Everybody forgets about Neil because he was pissed when he got there and found out people intended to film their performance. He refused to have himself filmed, or allow any footage of him to appear in the film, so it looks like it's just CS&N in the movie...
I am thankful it got filmed. Michael Shrieves drum solo is the best I have ever seen
Carlos has said that he was so high during this set that he thought his guitar was a snake he was fighting.
Can watch this 20 times and it's still magic. Never misses a note. Drummer Mike Shrieve's show - only 19.
Unfortunately this video IS missing a note, lots of 'em, they chop up the entire drum solo into about 10 seconds. Yeah, it's Mike Shrieve's show.....that's NOT in this video. What can you say, morons with no taste will be morons with no taste. (talking about whomever edited down the performance, not these two great reactors)
One of the best drum solos I've watched. To think Mike was only 19 just boggles the mind. I love watching John Bonham, but this one ranks pretty darn high.
@@murraytomlinson6562 Unfortunately the solo is not in this video, didn't you notice? This is a stupidly edited video by someone who obviously doesn't understand why this is an "iconic" performance.
All time classic. BTW they all took some Acid (LSD) about a half hour to an hour before they were suddenly called to go on. Thinking they didn't have to play until the evening as originally scheduled. The promoter said "play now or don't play at all." Then you get that masterpiece. Better living through chemicals? You be the judge.
Life was so much better back then to me. We had so much more freedom it seems.
Should watch the longer version. Something like 9:38/39 long (there are few other ones, as well) This one is cut down considerably..The drummer, Mike Shrieve's solo is much longer, and incredible!..He had just turned 20 in July, and Carlos (22), same month..You have to remember, NO ONE there knew who the hell Santana was, before that day..They knew afterwards!..There should be a law that everybody should see the film on a big screen, at least once in their lives!..I saw it when it came out a year later..You would appreciate it's greatness SO much more!..Don't know why the holder of it doesn't do it..CRAZY!
Always enjoy seeing people discover this one it’s one of the best performances of Woodstock I think.
The drum solo is actually a few minuets long, it’s mostly cut out here, I’ve never got why, it’s as good as the rest imo, maybe just the video length. The full version is floating around on YT somewhere I think.
The story goes that Santana wasn’t supposed to perform until much later but logistics pushed them into that slot & they had all taken acid (or some say mushrooms) thinking they had rime for a trip.
They had it on stage instead. The music didn’t seem to suffer 😂
Imagine the sound coming from that band when you are tripping b@lls in the audience. The keyboard player Greg Rolle started the band Journey.
Yeah, I was pretty sure that was him.
I was at camp in New Hampshire with family when this happened, I was 13. I can remember listening to the news about it on the radio, the huge crowd the traffic jams..
So many amazing performances. Ten years after doing I'm coming home, is totally iconic. Country Joe and the Fish, the Paul Butterfield blues band or something like that. And just so many.
I"M GOING HOME
Canned Heat... On The Road Again
I live in eastern Canada (Atlantic) and I was between grade 10&11 when Woodstock happened. I was and still am a musician, but we didn’t even know Woodstock happened, until 1970 when the double live album came out. At that time we only had 1 tv station and 2 radio stations. There were a couple of record stores, but really our area was always about 6-8 months behind on what was actually going on. I loved Santana. I even bought a Gibson L6S guitar in 1973, that was designed by Carlos Santana. I still have that guitar 50 years later.
Great job guys. BTW…..where is Silas? 12:15
I’ll never forget how this went right through me…. Awesome performance…..I’m 70 now still love it.
Carlos was as screwed up as a feet ball bat after taking his very first tab of LSD and then getting on stage thinking that his guitar neck was like rubber bending around in his hand ..
There was a good reason everyone had smiles on their faces! HAHAHA!
THE DRUMMER MIKE SCHRIEVE & I WENT TO HIGH SCHOLL TOGETHER, HE WAS 19 IN THIS VID! ALWAYS DO THE 9:00 MIN VERSION!
The drummer was only 19 years old then, the keyboard player Gregg Rolle was one of the founders of Journey along with Neil Schon , I graduated high school in 1969.
I was there and the acoustics were good enough to sound just right; you just Had to Move!. Mike Shrieve's drum Solo was getting "Far OUT's " from the crowd. They were all I heard High as a Kite, and Carlos Santana was "Peaking "at this point; at the top of the High. But he handled it and they all came together musically. They were told before "hey you guys are going on next!" This was even though they were a couple of hours before their appearance.
Michael Shreive on drums was 19 or 20 when he turned in one of best li e solos ever
300,000 to 400,000 in attendance over the 3-day concert. Can you dig it?! Carlos said all he was worried about, playing whilst trippin', was hitting all the right notes! Not remembering all the notes or passages, but playing them correctly and purely. HE DID IT!
This is a cut version, the drum solo is much longer and the whole song was written around the drum solo.
Lovely to watch this interaction between father and daughter. Thankk you.
The actual town was Bethel, NY. A monument was erected at the original site.
The Woodstock film is worth watching. It won an Academy Award for Best Documentary in 1970 and does a very good job of explaining the culture at the time. It had less to do with getting high and having fun, and more to do with protesting the Vietnam war and the draft.
I own the directors cut version on dvd and the box set of cds along with numerous versions on vinyl. I saw it 14 nights in a row at the drive in and didn't cost me a dime. At least at the box office. Jim
Michael Shrieve was an incredible drummer and only 20. Watching him live was mind blowing.
I saw Santana along with the Outlaws, Peter Frampton and Lynard Shynard July 1977 at a Day on the Green in Oakland, California
500,000 people attended Woodstock! Epic performance!
Really enjoyed your reaction to this!! Yes, it is said they were tripping during this. They were actually called to the stage to play hours before they were supposed to, so they were still high. I went to my first concert the year after this, and it was Santana. My older cousins offered to take me, and my parents let me go!
And yes Crosby Stills and Nash was there, remember " this is our second gig, this is the second time we played in front of people man, we're scared shitless" ✌️😎
And Young. who refused to be filmed.
This was such an amazing time to be alive! Nothing will ever come close. And music was such a big part of it. ☮
Santana was the "house band" at Bill Grahams Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. They were unknown in New York when they played this festival. This was their premier performance in the eastern U.S. This version is heavily edited: the uncut performance runs around 13 minutes. Also, the drummer was 18 years old at the time of this performance.
You laugh at his facial expressions but right now he is a 19 year old kid playing a monumental gig while tripping on some of the best acid ever produced by Mr Owsley Stanley.
Another band I’ve seen multiple times and they were always professional and amazing.
I'll give you another great song from 1969 Grand Funk Railroad inside looking out I don't think you've done it you have to look at it live it's amazing
Yes. I watch Inside looking out as much as I watch Soul Sacrifice, which is basically everyday.
MICHAEL SHRIEVE ROCKS.
A friend of mine went to the Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 (not Woodstock, but similar), at the age of 16, mainly to see The Doors. The Doors performed in the middle of the night and he slept through their act. He tended to be unlucky like that.
Just to give you an idea: The legacy of the Woodstock Festival, which took place in Bethel, New York, from Friday, August 15 to the morning of Monday, August 18, 1969, is based on the fact that half a million hippies turned a muddy, clogged area , in a place that symbolized peace and love. Joan Baez, Santana, Incredible String Band, Canned Heat, Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Janis Joplin, Sly & The Family Stone, The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Joe Cocker, Ten Years After, The Band, Johnny Winter, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Crosby, Still, Nash & Young and, of course, Jimi Hendrix, were some of the biggest names. The attendance completely overwhelmed the organizers, who sold just under 200,000 tickets - at USD18 -, although it is estimated that around 500,000 people attended the festival - some sources raise the figure to a million. All this caused enormous chaos, with a shortage of food and the blocking of access to the premises. So much so that some groups had to arrive by helicopter to the vicinity of the stage, where a landing zone was improvised. During the festival there were intense nights of sex and drugs, highlighting the consumption of LSD and marijuana; all with a background of rock music. Three deaths occurred at the Woodstock festival: one due to a heroin overdose, another after a ruptured appendix and the last due to an accident with a road machine that stepped on someone who had fallen asleep underneath. Unconfirmed births were also said to have occurred at the festival. The festival took place during a respiratory virus pandemic.
Of course they were shirtless, the women too, it was August in New York it was hot.
The keyboard player here Gregg Rolle would later go on to form Journey a few years later with another member, who isn't on stage, a teenaged Neal Schon.
I'm sure there were drugs involved, it was the sixties dad, of course there was.
An era with any telephone into this whole crowd, everyone just for listening the artists doing their music, 🎉❤ Daniel
I would go back to the late 60's / early 70's any time.
It was a much happier time. Look at their smiles! Love it. Yes they took acid before they went on stage. This is a shortened version.
Carlos wrote a great article in Mojo magazine about how this life changing gig
came about, a great 📖
Santana was dosed with LSD without his knowledge and he said his guitar neck looked like a rubber snake. Woodstock is a town. But I used to hang out there in the late 60's and early 70's and its like 2 roads crossing and a traffic light and a dinner/gas station. So when half a million people descended on the town they moved it to Max Yasgur's farm in the neighboring town of Bethel. I didn't go to Woodstock for the festival (I was only 16 at the time) but I lived about an hour and a half away. Me and my girlfriend used go up to Bethel to visit her relatives who also had a farm. It turns out that my girlfriend's uncle was Max Yasgur! She knew him as "Uncle Max" from when she was a kid growing up on the farm and they were neighbors! So Woodstock wasn't really in Woodstock it was in Bethel, NY. Great reaction.
I graduated in 1969, it was a GREAT time to experience life, we were all free! These musicians were amazing, they were in the zone feeling the music.
on keyboard is Greg Rollie and a 16 year old Neal Schon on rhythm guitar. Both are co-founders of Journey
I think your daughter would've made a beautiful hippie in our dazes and loved it. We did. Jim
Wow a sea of people 😮. Santana is 🔥, the fringe vest that the guitar player was wearing brought back memories 😄
Watch a few of the documentaries that came out on WOODSTOCK'S 50TH Anniversary. ALL BEHIND THE SCENES STUFF.
Alivia, you mentioned that they looked stoned, they were. In an interview Carlos said they were scheduled to perform that evening so he took a hit of acid planning on being back to earth by the time they played. Then just as he was peaking they said "YOU'RE ON".
He played from deep down in his soul. I can't speak for the others but it was 1969 with hundreds of thousands of hippies hanging around.
in 1979 i was in 7th grade, and my (1st) gf was in 8th. i remember we were on a ledge in the woods with the sun setting. i was singing "black magic woman" to her......also, my 1st kiss...
This performance was just of couple weeks before their first album hit the record stores. It was the first time people outside of the San Francisco Bay Area ever heard or saw Santana. Talk about making an impression before your first album.
Yes, CSN was there too.
If you have never taken LSD, you can’t really appreciate what is really going on here.
Baffles me every time i watch this!
Due to scheduling complications Carlos Santana found himself kicking his heels all day with Jerry Garcia from the Grateful Dead, also waiting for their turn to perform, who turned him on to LSD for I think the first time. And Woodstock was a really big deal for him because outside ‘Frisco Bay Santana was pretty much unknown. So when it was finally show time Carlos was still somewhat tripped out and had no idea how he was going to get through the set. He tells the story that he said a little prayer as he approached the stage. “Please God let me be in tune and be in time”. What everybody else said after the show was that he walked on that stage an unknown and walked off it a star. It was a great musical moment.
Just a side note, the keyboardist Greg Rolie and future Santana bandmate Neil Schon went on to found the super group Journey.
Carlos mentioned in an interview that he had dropped acid sometime before the venue managers put him on stage 2 hours early. He wasn't sure that he could pull it off. Keyboardist, Greg Rolie and the guy with the Afro, Neil Schon went on to form Journey.
That's Michael Carabello with the afro. Schon wasn't there. He was rehearsing with them by then and playing some local shows in SF, but he was still in high school, and way too young at 15 to go on the road.
You need to watch the movie - it symbolized the end of the 1960s - the song was shortened, the drummer was 19 years old at the time and performed a phenomenal drum solo. I showed the movie at school several times years ago when teaching about the 1960s. There were a lot of drugs and some overdoses. Several people died. For the most part, it was peaceful, but it was also a mess. It was on the farm of Max Yaeger, and the large crowd was not expected, they eventually allowed people to enter free. There were some people who freaked out - if you watch the movie. To telephone home, long before cell phones, the lines were long, freeways were shut down, property trampled, rain, etc. They tried to duplicate Woodstock, but there is no way that the 1960s could be duplicated. As I aged, I did not agree with many ideologies of the 1960s, but it is history.
If you could get out of there you weren't getting back in. A half million people. If you haven't watched some of the other acts, the next rainy day sit and experience something that could never be replicated.
Back in the mid eighties, I was working at grocery store and we all got together for some beers in the parking lot after we closed. I was talking with a much younger co-worker and he gets on the subject of music of our separate generations. He said, 'I don't get it. Woodstock was supposed to have been a huge deal. What was so great about it? 50,000 people? we can fit 50,000 people in our local college stadium."
I told him, "it wasn't 50,000. It was 500,000 people at Woodstock. That is TEN college stadiums at the same time. And nobody got into fights and nobody got arrested. They had tents set up so if you were having a bad trip on your particular drug of choice, they could keep an eye on you and they could talk you down from your bad trip."
By the time we got to Woodstock
We were half a million strong
And everywhere
There was song and celebration.
-Joni Mitchell
IIRC the drummer was a venerable 17 yo
Santana was from the west coast San Francisco area with his band. He was known in the bay area but not until Woodstock did the rest of the nation catch on to Santana and the rest is history. In 1969 it was the free love hippie era and the war in Vietnam was still going on. I was still in the military in that region of Vietnam and finish my tour in 1970. ✌✌
Shrieve's solo is great, but his fills right before the end are stellar.
Great guitarist, santana still going too at 76 ..
You've stumbled onto a very shortened version. The epic drum solo is entirely missing. You must find the full version and marvel at the musicianship of every band member.
YOU JUST LISTENED TO THE SHORT VERSION, THE DRUM SOLO WAS LIKE TEN MINUTES. THE GROWD WAS MORE LIKE 500 THOUSAND
I WAS THERE. PEACEFUL, LOVING. FUN, FREEDOM. WE LET ALL HUNG OUT. I WAS A FLOWER CHILD THEN.❤✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Upstate New York. About 1.5 hours northwest of Manhattan.
This was the short version.
Santanas manager Bill Graham got him gig. He was the biggest promoter for decades. He predicted this would break the band out. Carlos was tripping big time.
no cell phones..the best of days i would go back!
There is an uncut version, it's a must see.
Carlos has stated he was "trippin' ba??s" at Woodstock. I would love to go back to '69.
