You are man enough to admit it and the only reactor to make amends for it and to date the only reactor to do the REAL Soul Sac/Woodstock video. My sincere hats off to you brother!
hey this comment made it all worth it! thank you man. it means a lot. i had no idea going into the first go around... but now I do lol. and now I see why everyone was upset. it's all good. now we can dance!
Dude ! My wife of 53 years and I , went to the movie premiere on our first date. Stoned to the bone. I knew that night we would spend the rest of our lives together.
@woedan48 mad props to you. I lost my love to Alcohol . IDK if it would have worked anyway, but I was blessed to have her love for as long as I did. Blessed are the times we have.
Santana was not due to perform until about 10 hours later at night, but they were thrust into performing that afternoon because another artist couldn't get to the venue on time. All of the Highways were closed because of all the people and cars driving to the festival. All of the Band members took LSD to get high and enjoy the concert, but when they unexpectedly were asked to go on immediately, they were all loaded out of their minds and hallucinating. Carlos Santana later said in an interview, that his guitar was turning into a long slithering snake, and it was "Blowing his mind." Same for the others in the Band. In the end, it turned out to be a fantastic piece of Rock History.
Haha, awesome" In the live chat somebody said "They tried to do it again at Woodstock 94 but it didn't really take off, because now the audience crowd were on different drugs than back in '69"! 😄
Santana and Ten Years After--the Woodstock gifts that keep on giving. (And when people ask me why I'm not a fan of drum machines, I point them to this performance.)
Yeah fuck the robots play REAL percussion 🥁 they’ve outsourced creativity and rhythm to the machines and now complain that all music sounds the same lol
@@L33ReactsYou hit the nail on the head my young brother!!! I saw “Woodstock” movie in 1970 on the big screen…mother f***er what an amazing documentary. Lee, you need to watch the movie ( 17:30 directors cut) and you will be a changed man. Helps to watch it on a decent size flatscreen with a good sound system…a little smoke will round out the experience fer sure!!! Love bro!
@@davebrooks2385 bro I swear whenever I have a minute to myself I’m going to. It’s hard being a full time dad and doing 6 videos a day 😵 but one day I’ll have time lol and it’s gonna be glorious
@@L33ReactsI totally understand…someday maybe you can delve more into Roy Buchanan….In my top 3 guitarists of all time- lots of epic videos of him. Wow bro!
I’m not sure the togetherness among the youth , musically or cultural aspects to do it so successfully again. It was a one of a kind and can never be repeated.
Indeed. I went to the 25th anniversary Woodstock event and got a small taste of the original - CSN and Joe Cocker performing, a sea of mud, the difficulty of navigating an enormous crowd of people. Whatever might have been the same about it, it still couldn't be the same. I stayed for about 15 hours and had had enough.
@@sueprator9314 no I saw them at the San Diego Sports Arena in either 71 or 72. But an album was made of their collaboration and I had it. Those 2 together was pretty amazing.
Their percussion section was out of this world!!!! I was a dancer, it was always a joy when the conga players showed up to class- the best dancing ever!
Mike finally gets his due. Finesse and killer chops. One story goes that he had to get a note from his parents to skip school so he could play at Woodstock. I've seen varying accounts of his age, 18, 19, 20. For some reason he is rarely mentioned in the pantheon of super-drummers
For the record Michael Shrieve was 20 years old (20 years, 1 month, and 10 days), and the second youngest to perform at Woodstock. There was an eighteen-year-old guitarist named Henry Gross (18 years, 4 months, and 17 days), in Sha Na Na who was the youngest.
One of the greatest Rock performances ever recorded on video. The drummer is a guy I went tto High school with in Seattle. He was only 19 yrs old in this. Just a kid on the world stage.
As you well know I'm sure, Michael Shreve is still living 55 years after this performance (he is 74 now), and looks nothing like this cute 19 year old 'kid on the world stage', as you put it. As with all of us, time - the great leveler and equalizer, has robbed us of our outer beauty. Fortunately, we may still retain that pure and youthful spirit within, uncorrupted by years of slugging it out in this putrid arena called the 'earth plane'.
A couple of weeks before Woodstock, I went to the Boston Tea Party to see Savoy Brown. The 2nd performance was some unheard of band named Santana. Barely remember Savoy Brown. The Boston Tea Party was across the street from Fenway Park and only held a couple of hundred people. They had 2 stages. We sat on the floor and shifted on our butts when the bands changed. Santana was phenomenal that night.
This was before drummers were expected to have massive kits. Shrieve does it all with a couple of cymbals, a high-hat, a bass drum, one mounted tom, and one floor tom.
Michael Shrieve's full drum solo......finally! Saw the Woodstock movie ( 3 times ) in the theater in 1970 and knew Michael Shrieve was the GOAT! Forgot to mention that they were all trippin' on LSD, also!
"Incident at Neshbar" from Abraxas is mind-blowing! Glad you finally got to see the full solo here, Lee. Did you know that Michael Shrieve was on David Crosby's solo album, "If I Could Only Remember My Name" ?
The short-lived jazz/rock/salsa band he had together with Wayne Shorter in 1988 is worth checking out too. It was launched half as a joke at a time when both his own and Shorter's recording careers were in a trough, although they had lost nothing as musicians - they decided to bring together several earlier/recent members of the Santana band and Weather Report (which Wayne had co-fronted up till 1985) plus Patrice Rushen, who played keyboards, along with Chester G. Thmposon, and helped re.arrange some of the tracks. Drumming by Ndugu Chancler and percusson by Armando Peraza and Chepito Areas. They never did a studio record, it was a live band only but what a band!! They are preserved on a superb gig filmed at the Montreux festival in July 1988 (dvd, , Santana/Shorter: Live at Montreux 1988), a gem of a show.
I saw them shortly after this in Pittsburgh, PA. They opened for Janis Joplin. Came out and did their first album. The crowd was blown away and would not let them leave the stage. Janis came out and had a good time.
I looove this... yeah, when the film Woodstock was released it was a huge event. The drummer, Michael Shrieve was AMAZING. ❤ Plus Carlos and crew, of course - unbelievably fantastic.🔥 You can't sit still on this one.
A British reactor named Harri did the entire song. I remember it because one of the ladies in the crowd danced like no one was watching and he commented on it.
One of the best drum solos I've seen was Grand Funk Railroad. During the middle of the solo he stood up and started playing the floor, walking across the stage while he did it. Then, coming to the singer's mic stand he started playing up and down it returning to the floor and beating on everything thing that was on stage before going back to the drums...without stopping. Far Out!
Been to a lot of Santana concerts over the years. At one, more than 30 years ago, I was 9 months pregnant and ready to pop. I spent the whole night walking.. waddling around the perimeter of the amphitheatre trying to trigger labor. My daughter was born a few days later. She was born rocking! 🤣🎶💃
This is one of my favorite live performances. How could it not be? I was 16 and almost but not quite old enough for my parents to let me attend the festival. We lived across the Hudson River not far from where the three days of peace, love and music went down. One of my good friends who was a year older went. He was an even cooler cat when he came back . Those were heady times with all the famous groups hanging out and recording in and around the Hudson Valley, the Catskill Mountains and Woodstock. We were growing our own, avoiding the draft and trying to figure out what our futures were going to look like. A couple years later I fixed up my van, took a six thousand mile toad trip and ended up in Oregon for a few years following my friends rock group then went back to nature in Jackson Hole for Forty years. I've never forgotten how fortumate I was growing up. To be surrounded by amazing music and the super cool people who played it. It was a blessing.
Micheal Shrieve lives in Seattle, where I live and is a regular around town and drum shops. So young these drumming prodigies as was the other young drum prodigy, Jeff Porcaro. At 18 playing with Sonny and Cher and 19 with Steely Dan, Night by Night. His first recording was at 17 double drumming with Jim Keltner. He was still in high school.
You'll love this, that's for sure! One of the standout moments of this great movie/festival! 💗The heavy Latin Swing groove and all the percussion was, I figure, near revolutionary at the time.
Ned from Spain here Lee to give you a huge THANK YOU and kudos for re-reacting to this classic moment. I think most people were bummed out for you with your 1st reaction because, as a drummer, you should've seen Mike's incredible drum solo and the original edit in general. Well done bro. Hasta la proxima y salud
When video cassettes - VHS - came out in the early '80's, my friend and I rented this film,, scored some good smoke and were totally 'transported' back to that time. This performance was absolutely stand out. Phenomenal.
Along the same lines, when the movie came out I had a friend who was a projectionist at the local theater. In the projector booth there were two projector windows and a third one with an old seat and a pair of headphones to watch it from there so I got to see it like six times!
Glad you finally got to see the complete song, still felt short, I was so blown away by Michael when I first saw it in '71 or '72 with my late cousin. 🖖🏼😎🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
Thanks! I didn't see your first vid, but loved this. I remember 1969, I graduated from High School. Great time to be 18, white and middle class. Saw Santana in Germany in 1972. Incredible!
Yes, Lee, it was worth it. At age 16 I couldn’t go to Woodstock since I lived in L A, CA, so watched the documentary at one of those dome theaters (great sound), bought the cassettes for the soundtrack and bought the video set, now I have the dvd and watch it at least once a year. Seeing the documentary puts you in a different mind set than just watching select performances. Santana is out of this world spectacular, though, just spectacular!
Yes. Yes. Yes. I remember reading about the show as it happened, even seeing a report on the news, and rushing to the theater to see the movie when it finally came out. Great performance. ✌️❤️🎶
Thank you. I think that the drum solo setup the guitar solo and the awesome percussion ending. And to you, for standing up and bringing this back, if it exists, you should get the Golden Shimmer Cymbal award.
Carlos was high on LSD when he did this, someone gave him some just before he went on, and he wasn't aware until it hit just before they started their set. this is just great
I've seen Santana twice, they didn't disappoint, in 77 they opened for Clapton. Carlos came out for EC's ovation, the two of them trading lead... That was the best show I ever saw! keep in mind I've seen EC 3 times since and Santana a few years after. But that first one was great.
It’s hard to beat that. That’s generational shit right there. Transcends all the other bullshit we put ourselves though to divide ourselves. Once Santana comes on…. Everyone is your brother and sister (even though they already are)
1978 California Jam 2 in So Cal… Santana, Heart, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Bob Welsh, Dave Mason Band, Foreigner, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush! All in 1 long cold day! (I was 16 at my first concert)
living. In the Bay Area it’s so great to think I saw Santana play at my high school before they exploded at Woodstock Only band to play there without album out yet Invite I am sure thanks to Bill Graham who you can see on stage there. My favorite band have seen them over 50 times
I saw them 3 yrs later in Charlotte. I wish I remembered more about specific songs, but damn 52 years is a long time and a lot of miles. They came out, spent a minute in silent prayer then played. No between songs banter, just the music. Then it was over and we all left.
@@L33Reacts you are doing great i subscribed and will be checking out more content lots of great bands people don't know about, Jamul is one no one will suggest only one album also Orang Utan only one album but a great band, check them out even if you don't do a reaction to them at least hear them
Wut?? Jerry Garcia? I know Santana and the drummer for sure took acid and were blown away when they had to perform earlier. I didn’t know Garcia was there.
@@crystalship9900 According to Carlos, it was mescaline, not acid. Hell yeah, The Dead played Woodstock. Was a bummer gig for them, though. They were tripping, the stage was flooded and almost collapsed. Their instruments were giving them electric shocks. Resulted in a sub-par performance.
Michael Shrive was the second youngest performer at Woodstock. He was 20 years old! I hate to date myself, but I was there for that performance. I was lucky to be up front and in the same condition as they were. Ambassador Jenkins
I was 16 the summer of Woodstock and my sister and I would have done anything to go but we lived in New Mexico at the time so it was impossible for two high school girls. The best we could do was watch the 6 o'clock news reports for three days and marvel at the amazing lineup of musicians.
It will happen again in 50 years and Rolling Stones will top the bill 😂

Carlos has said they were peaking on mescaline at the time they were asked to perform.
Supplied by The Grateful Dead!
And it was Jerry Garcia that gave Carlos the acid. That's according to Michael in an interview.
In my humble opinion, one of the greatest performances ever recorded. What a time to be growing up.
Came for the drum solo and percussion, stayed for Carlos and Greg’s solos. And David Brown is soooo cool on bass

Carlos was high on LSD when he did this, someone gave him some just before he went on, and he wasn't aware until it hit just before they started their set. this is just great
he was tripping BALLS you could tell, man. i love it haha. so iconic.
I've seen Santana twice, they didn't disappoint, in 77 they opened for Clapton. Carlos came out for EC's ovation, the two of them trading lead... That was the best show I ever saw! keep in mind I've seen EC 3 times since and Santana a few years after. But that first one was great.
I saw them live in 73. One of the best concerts I have seen.
Drumming up the algorithm.

The best performance from Woodstock. Awesome!
It’s hard to beat that. That’s generational shit right there. Transcends all the other bullshit we put ourselves though to divide ourselves. Once Santana comes on…. Everyone is your brother and sister (even though they already are)
the who were pretty good
Brings back memories just a fantastic drummer
Now, aren't you glad you got to see and hear and feel that?! Thanks for not interrupting that. Love it.
It was excellent, George! This is the cream of the crop. it doesn't get much better then this. glad you enjoyed!
1978 California Jam 2 in So Cal… Santana, Heart, Aerosmith, Ted Nugent, Bob Welsh, Dave Mason Band, Foreigner, Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush!
All in 1 long cold day! (I was 16 at my first concert)
Drumwise its the best song ever! (For me)
So freakin' good!
Carlos s' admitted that some drugs, like LSD were taken by the band before this performance - yet, they could still play this awesome groove!!!
living. In the Bay Area it’s so great to think I saw Santana play at my high school before they exploded at Woodstock Only band to play there without album out yet Invite I am sure thanks to Bill Graham who you can see on stage there. My favorite band have seen them over 50 times
I was there and there are no words to describe the vibes, the love.
I saw them 3 yrs later in Charlotte. I wish I remembered more about specific songs, but damn 52 years is a long time and a lot of miles.
They came out, spent a minute in silent prayer then played. No between songs banter, just the music. Then it was over and we all left.
Santana is such a great artist, he brought all the Latin and Afro-Latin vibes to rock, creating a unique sound
Love that you do great bands other reactors don't do, keep it up, great job
I appreciate that, Gary. I love music. In all its strange and beautiful forms lol
@@L33Reacts you are doing great i subscribed and will be checking out more content lots of great bands people don't know about, Jamul is one no one will suggest only one album also Orang Utan only one album but a great band, check them out even if you don't do a reaction to them at least hear them
Jerry Garcia and Carlos Santanna dropped mescaline a bit before this performance. Carlos was playing as if his life was on the line.
Wut?? Jerry Garcia? I know Santana and the drummer for sure took acid and were blown away when they had to perform earlier. I didn’t know Garcia was there.
@@crystalship9900 According to Carlos, it was mescaline, not acid. Hell yeah, The Dead played Woodstock. Was a bummer gig for them, though. They were tripping, the stage was flooded and almost collapsed. Their instruments were giving them electric shocks. Resulted in a sub-par performance.
Michael Shrive was the second youngest performer at Woodstock. He was 20 years old! I hate to date myself, but I was there for that performance. I was lucky to be up front and in the same condition as they were. Ambassador Jenkins
Just incredible, my favourite was the brilliant drummer Mike Shrieve, he's in his 70's now!!!!!
Michael Strive on drums. Just saw him and band inducted into ROCK N ROLL HALL OF FAME!!!❤❤

🌸 literal sea of people
Michael Shrieve the drummer was 20 years old when he performed at Woodstock in 1969.
I was 16 the summer of Woodstock and my sister and I would have done anything to go but we lived in New Mexico at the time so it was impossible for two high school girls. The best we could do was watch the 6 o'clock news reports for three days and marvel at the amazing lineup of musicians.
Nobody does it like Carlos 👍 🎉
They killed it at Woodstock!
