Check out Santana 1969 wood stock footage
I find it hard to believe when all these reaction people say they have never heard of these absolutely iconic musicians.
I love listening to carlos..you see him in person.. watching him and his band..you get soooo hooked. Into his music.. the have a Mexican restaurant in Capitol, ca neat the beach south of Santa cruz..the food is soooooo good
Guy's played in seven decades, put out over 60 albums, and just keeps going. He is a top tier, trend setting phenom. Sad day when he goes. Genius.
Even Zappa had a tune to tribute his chords.
Giving your flowers now is the best for artist that are older in age. Well said
Carlos does not play Guitar, he makes love to it.
The Woodstock event w/ Santana will give you the beginning. So much energy from the entire group.
Santana was well-known in the San Francisco Bay Area quite a while before Woodstock. But it was Woodstock that gave them a wider audience.
Wars of Armageddon by funka delic sounds like something good o get a massage to
After smoking some herb then right into maggotbrain.
Absolute magician. Making it cry and sing
I was watching Carlos live and during the encore the drummer was becommin visably tired. Carlos went behind the drum kit and touched his back, and it was lightning had struck. The drummer and the whole band had a new energy. That is the spirit that you hear in his guitar.
EK I never saw that / Thank You !!
That performance was highly fueled by an acid trip!! Carlos thought his guitar was a snake for a minute!!! Spectacular performance!!!🎵🎼🎶🎤🎸🎹🥁🎸🎸🔥🔥🤘🤘
I saw him in a bar in California in 1970. Played Black Magic Woman for 30 min.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤
How very fortunate. I’m so glad he still performs.
Santana himself has said that when you play, your soul comes out in your music. You can see it when he plays, as you've noticed.
Santana make loves to the guitar.
One of the most instantly recognizable of 1970s guitar heroes, certainly a unique player and also a very brave musician.
This and Samba Pa Ti are my absolute favorite Santana songs, just achingly beautiful ;?)
Carlos Santana and SRV are definitely two of my all time favorites. Carlos plays straight from his heart. There are many amazing artists ... all the greats from the Eric Clapton Crossroads shows ... B.B. King, Buddy Guy, Robert Cray, John Mayer just to name a few. Thanks for another great reaction video!
Have seen Santana live a few times, the last one just a couple years ago. Listening to him play is as close to a spiritual experience you can get.
Santana is still touring. You must go! Seeing anyone who played at Woodstock is an incredible experience. Go see him!
Notice how Carlos controls the sustain, the ebb and flow of the song, the highs and lows. The song is like a book with different chapters. A master.
Carlos is in a category of his own he blends blues, rock jazz, latino and other international flavors to his music to come up with a different sound.
One of the most beautiful songs period ever !’ Performed buy the greatest most magnificent guitarist we will ever know !!!!🎶❤️🙏❤️
This song gives me the chills every time. Hendricks was a fascinating personality but technically speaking cannot compare to Clapton, Santana, Duane Allman, on and on.
You know immediately it his him.
Mesmerizing- Santana is one of the few guitarists that you know immediately it is him.
Classic guitar track with killer musicianship and so much SOUL! A long-term live favourite with fans, of course, and this is a lovely performance!
WELL, I'VE LISTENED TO GUITARING FROM THE 70s AND (I THINK) THAT "CARLOS SANTANA" IS THE BEST I'VE EVER HEARD
Carlos has such a distinctive guitar tone, you can see he feels every note. I have been an admirer for years. Maybe listen to "Samba Pa Ti." another instrumental track.
I was twelve year old in 1970 when I heard Santana and Black Magic Woman on the radio. His sound was different and I was drawn to it immediately. As years passed heard more of his music and liked it all. Then saw him live in Anaheim California in 1979 and two or three more times in the 1980s in Chicagoland. I have seen hundreds of concerts and Santana’s sit high on the list of favorites. He is one of my top favorite guitarists but what I also loved so much seeing him live was his percussion section.
I saw him in a 3200 seat theater in the early 80’s … The man could put more style, heart, soul & talent in one held note,
You are very lucky!
no one is Hendrix except Hendrix, same with everyone from before and after then, Carlos IS Carlos, No One can play that way, except Carlos. And he has been there and done that, in every way possible
My uncle introduced me to Santana’s music when I was a young teenager and I’ve loved him ever since. Europa is one of his best. Thank you for the reaction.
I was there... One of at least 36 times I have seen this superb band of musicians perofrm live
You nailed it. No matter the era or the gear, you can always hear the unique sound that Carlos is chasing.
Santana, Hendrix and Frampton, all top 1 for all my live.
If you never heard the other two, you're missing a lot in your life.
Thanks for reminding me of this concert, gonna put my ear buds and have some fun.
Over the years I have admired guitarist Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jose Feliciano and a few more. In England they used to write on walls the graffiti- Clapton is God!.
But for me, Carlos Santana is the GOAT.
No question about it. When I first heard him play on his first album in the late sixties, that was IT for me. ❤❤❤
His live performance of Europa with Gato Barbieri in 1977 is outstanding; the bassist really goes to town mid way through.
I actually really love the Viva Santana version. The whole band was on fire.
Carlos Santana is an extraordinary musician!!! The only band at Woodstock that didn't already have an album out!!! That changed immediately overnight!!! The performance was beyond incredible!!🎵🎼🎶🎤🎸🎹🥁🔥🤘🤘
Best sustain ever. 🎸
I'll never forget the time I bumped into Carlos in the streets of San Francisco, he looked at me, held up the peace sign and simply said "Love & Light My Brother".. It was surreal to say the least
Out of my thousands of well liked tunes this may just be number one
Santana was fire in their time
This is the song that hooked me on Santana in the 70's and I have been following him and going to his concerts ever since.
Thanks, PR... That was the year I graduated Highschool! Now THAT'S what REAL MUSIC IS!!!
You'd be doing yourself a favor, by checking out some more of his work!!! (The man's a "Force of Nature"; for cryin' out loud!!!)
My hero
Master guitarist! Complete package. Makes it sing. So many wonderful instrumentals in his illustrious career. Puts so much feeling and emotion in every note!
Hope you do more reactions of my favorite artist. A wealth of wonderful music of his to choose from.
Can always get into a dose of Carlos!
There were so many great guitarists around at the same time it led to many into the early hours discussions usually ended by the sun coming up and no conclusion.
Carlos is a legend 🙌
You are so right. He has his own style of playing. It’s recognizable. You should check out his song, Soul Sacrifice performed at Woodstock.
A guitar savant! A master!
I don't know why, but that song always makes me cry. It reminds me of leaving someone you love.
Phenomenal guitarist- and I appreciated your review.
He plays that thing so f*ing good it sounds like he's singing.. Yowzaaa!!!
IF you liked this check out this version, "Santana & Gato Barbieri "Europa" (live, 1977)" Gato's sax brings it to an entirely different level.
Ooh, another awesome rabbit hole👏❤️🎼🎼 Check out George Benson and of course one of my favourites, BB King. They both become the music like Carlos Santana. Enjoy
1969 !! Was the first concert I ever went too. And it was Santana and a few bowls of Hashish... Awesome, awesome concert.
Absolutely on of the best guitar player ever.
I love Carlos and his unique sound, but Knopfler makes me fly and as soon as you hear a note or two, you know it's Mark. Good channel , honest reactions, keep up your work
You should watch his performance of Soul Sacrifice at Woodstock. . AMAZING! I have probably watched it 100 times.
He is one of the greatest guitarists in the world
My 2nd all-time favorite recording artists is the group Santana only behind Earth, Wind & Fire (the group "Incognito" being my current favorite). My favorite guitarist is Carlos Santana and yes, his sound is unique. He has said in an interview that he fashions the sounds he produces after the voice of a woman.
Good performance. Black magic woman, Samba Pa Ti and Soul Sacrifice (the Woodstock version) are maybe the most iconic pieces from Santana
Soul Sacrifice is the best, the drumming is amazing
Truly amazing; Europa (believe it was originally written by Carlos Santana), when played/recorded on by Gato Barbieri!, is my absolute favorite song!!
Excellent sustain on those notes. Great overdrive. Memorable.
No words needed what a masterpiece
i think more people should recognize one of the greatest guitar players of all time, Prince
And Prince's hero was Santana. Though he surely created his own style of even more "showing off".
But Prince could also play Santana style, at the end of his album "Rainbow Children" one can hear that.
@@norberthandermann9365 true, Last December has some good guitar playing in it.
but he said often that Sonny T, the bass player in his band (one of his bands), was his biggest influence.
you need to watch santana at his roots..."soul sacrifice" at woodstock. amazing! he plays with the most emotion and expertise! you can always tell if you are listening to him.
I remember the day I first heard the studio version; blew me away. You might really like “Song of the Wind” from the Album “Caravansari”. Really appreciate your approach to the music of my generation, as well as all the other reactions.
One of Santana's finest - genius.
Polo, you have to react to Santana’s song Transcendence (make sure it’s the studio version). I really think you will enjoy it.
I saw them in 77 in Portland Oregon after getting 7 tickets for 21 dollars from a hustling 11 year old, took my friends and sat right up front in a small venue with amazing acoustics. Great show.
I haven't heard this version before - heck yeah!
He made Europa to be an orgasm set to music. He's right up there alright! Look up his original Woodstock performance. Amazing!
A standard to be compared to noone else. Killer drumming as always.
Saw Santana last year in the SF Bay Area, he was out there just jamming with a smile and enjoying the home crowd Sensational guitarist and band.
. That’s very nice of you but you don’t need to do that. How about a request that can be my gift.
Angeline Saris “ Come Undone “. She’s an credible bassist
This always gives me goosebumps.
A great artist holding back is better than a great technician letting it rip. Love your take. Agree that his sound is so diffeent. He makes aguitar sing.
WOW!! Thank you for this. I haven’t heard Santana in many many years. I really enjoyed this.
I love Santana
Europa
Hi Polo, as others have commented, watch the live Woodstock performance. You will see a man become a part of his instrument. It’s amazing. Cheers.
I've been loving Santana and his guitars for more than five decades. I consider him among my favorite dozen and a half or so guitarists. For a special treat, and an intro to another of my favorite guitarists, run a search for Carlos Santana & John McLaughlin, and check out a couple of the songs they did together that come up, I think you'll be entertained.
In 2015 I flew to meet a friend and see Santana perform in Las Vegas. There was only one word to describe the show - PERFECTION!!! However the original drummer and organist have always been my favorites in the band line up.
🇨🇦 I have 3 favourite Instrumentals ! One is Classical Gas, another is YYZ and then this one ! Europa is smooth ! 💓
Prior to Europa, in the Abraxas album, he performed "Samba Pa Ti", it was the first solo track he played and it was a huge success back in the day. Europa was a second attempt to perform a solo track but it was never like Samba. I personally like both but it is undeniable that the first was the one. In the same album, Gitano, there's a song called Dance Sister Dance that it would be worth for you to react to. This album was the transition from the usual Santana's latin rock sound into a more elaborate and intimate music, due to the friendship developed between him and John MacLaughlin, frontman of Mahavishu Orchestra, who introduced Santana to his free-jazz, progressive-symphonic rock (there's a Santana album called Caravanserai, where you'll be able to appreciate the result of this partnership). So if you have the chance, react to it, you surely won't regret it. Have a big hug alongside my blessings.
Your reactions are so respectful to the artists and your viewers. Maybe the 1st you let play all the way through because there was place to do so.
He has a brother that plays guitar too George Santana for a group called Malo !!!!!!
I’ve seen santana more than any other artist live. Probably 5 times. The drumming was always really amazing too
Woodstock is a movie/doc, for so many performances like this, you can't go wrong.
One of very few who makes their guitar speak.
I gotta say the studio version sounds crazier
PLEASE listen to Soul Sacrifice live at Woodstock 1969. Absolutely mind blowing, raw, heavy, exciting. And most of them were off their heads.
Namaste Carlos.
Jimmy Paige, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Peter Green from the "Original" Fleetwood Mac playing real blues. Marcus King, Junior Kimbrough (real southern delta blues) Carlos, Angus Young, Gilmour, Alvin Lee in his heyday. There are so so so many. They have all brought me pleasure and at the same time tied me up to my memories of this long life. Thanks for your quest....now for my repeated re-quest LOL .....Rush 2112 the beginning two songs and the lyrics Ha!
favorite for me is Santana. He has that Latin flavor with the electric feel
Favourite guitarist? Right now it’s John Dwyer out of Oh Sees. Oh Sees playing ‘The Dream’ Live At Endless Daze 2017 is just mind-blowing. The drummers (count them, two) are literally steaming like they are setting fire 😂. Most exciting performances I’ve ever seen on UA-cam and live. I was lucky to see them play in the Uk last year. So much beer flung in the air it was raining beer and sweat aaaaaa
Good reaction Polo.
I saw this tour in Dallas TX at SMU's Moody Auditorium. He was just like this. The warm-up band was Journey without Steve Perry. It was a magnificent show. Journey & Neal Schon were amazing.
Schon, of course, was once a member of Santana’s band…
Schon, of course, was once a member of Santana’s band…
Carlos is an amazing player ive always loved his tone💯
Neal Shone lead guitar for Journey was a protégé of Carlos at 15 yrs old
Nice
Best guitarist of all time.
You can find this and much more on his Moonflower album! You owe it to yourself to hear him do "She's Not There"
Carlos Santana is a legendary guitarist! I know you also appreciate SRV; a few of my personal favorites are Mark Knoppfler (Dire Straits), Robert Cray (Robert Cray Band), and Todd Mohr (Big Head Todd and the Monsters). All of these distinctive guitarists have their own flavor and each is excellent.
BOHEMIAN RAPSODY by QUEEN!!! It was a milestone in music - you must see/hear it!!!
Polo, glad to see you enjoying music from these amazing artists. Sorry to say i can't say the same about rap. 90s rap/r&b is good stuff though.
One of the sexiest songs ever.
"Blues for Salvador"...listen and react if you can. He poured out his soul through the guitar. it makes me tear up every time...
Saw Santana with Rob Thomas around 2000-ish Live in Walnut Creek amphitheatre in Raleigh North Carolina. Santana sounds waaaay better live because of the exotic drums bongo's etc and many instruments that get drowned out via radio, video etc. that make it so much richer if you are present. It's an experience and I recommend people see them live while they still tour. I recommend the Carlos Santana/Rob Thomas Live Smooth 1999 video on UA-cam
I was wondering when you were going to get to Carlos.. Ck out .. Soul Sacrifice Live at Tanglewood
