Batuka and No One to Depend On are the back to back opening tracks on Santana III. I remember listening to those songs non-stop… Best opening tracks on any album ever imo!
Benny Rietveld is currently Musical Director and bass player for Carlos Santana, and has been with him for over 25 years... And from Hawaii. We are so proud of him..
I loved seeing how Neal Schon pushed Carlos. It's great seeing the original Santana members Rolie, Shrieve, Carabello and Carlos. I would have liked to have seen Chepito join to complete the original lineup minus Dave Brown R.I.P. Neal Schon didn't join the band until their third album but he still adds to the flavor of the early days.
Happy 67th Birthday Neal Joseph Schon.. February 27, 1954 Tinker Air Force Base. I didn't know he was an Okie from Tinkler.. Doesn't matter.. He is a hell of a guitar player.
The whole concert was good value. At 69 (Carlos) playing with his old pals. And not compromising. Sound and video quality good. Relentless percussion not to be denied. Crowd also cool - not young wanabes with hands in the air, but rather witnesses to a phenomena.
IMPRESIONANTE. CINCUENTA AÑOS DESPUÉS, CARLOS SANTANA, SIGUE SIENDO..... EL MEJOR. MARABILLOSO. SU MAGIA ES INFINITA. PIDO A DIOS TODOPODEROSO, KE LO GUARDE MUCHOS AÑOS. GRACIAS CARLOS. ESTÁS ILUMINADO POR LA VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE. AURRERÁ ENDEKI GORA KAL ENDE Z-ORIÓN-AK
Bass player Benny Rietveld.. McKinley High School, Honolulu and University of Hawaii Manoa. We are so proud of Benny. Santana was married in Hawaii. To Lenny Kravitz' drummer. I was able to see Santana's show with her playing drums.
Neal was a prodigy when he joined the band. Story was he had his choice with Carlos or Eric. Eric's drug use steered him Carlos' super talented band - on top from the awesome Abraxas success. Neal added a youthful, passionate, energy and pushed Carlos to another level. Their trades, fills, and soaring double leads were the best. The two lead guitar sound was at its peak or it was peaking at the time. BOAT concert was this band at the Palladium in NYC on the album tour.
Dr. Lacazotte, says yeah - when Neal joined he was 15 and earned enough with Santana to drive a Maz right into high school. 1st opinion - we're musicians. You should already know this --- it's Santana, not anyone else. Sorry man.
On the studio version of "No one to depend on" there are 2 guitar solos: Carlos Santana and Neal Schon (there is NO organ solo). On the studio version of "Batuka" there is a guitar solo by Carlos Santana and an organ solo by Gregg Rolie, but in No one to depend on (studio version) there is NO organ solo.
The bass player you see in this video is Bass player Benny Rietveld.. McKinley High School, Honolulu and University of Hawaii Manoa. We are so proud of Benny. Peace, Love and Aloha from Waikiki
this video is the proof: carlos is still a great guitarist, but neil was ever the more skilled axman. and you can hear that old Carlos still gives him no room to play, thats why neil left santana after a short time.
No man that’s not the reason why Gregg and Neal left the band to form Journey. It’s the difference in musical direction that the band broke. Carlos was into Jazz while Gregg and Neal were into Hendrix. And instead of compromising and collaborating between Jazz and Rock they let their egos get the better of them. And about who’s the better guitarist I think they’re at par with each other. They just have different styles. Carlos is melodic and jazzy while Neal is flashy with his British blues style. They were a fusion band in the first place. They fused Rock Blues and Jazz with Latin Rhythms. They should have continued with the lineup and made more albums with their kind of sound just for their loyal fans anyways. Their sound was the best in the entire Santana catalog. It was unique and legendary and cannot be replicated without Chepito Areas and Dave Brown as well as Coke Escuvedo.
@@echoTVat I agree. Though I still think their sound with that two guitar attack was really great. Maybe at par with the Allmans in terms of quality and impact but distinctively unique in its own way.

Carlos Santana,Neal Schon,Greg Rolie.

Look, kids, REAL MUSICIANS and REAL MUSIC.........take notes!
I love this lineup, Carlos, Neal, Greg and Michael. Takes me back to my youth when so much incredible music was being made.

I see Neal Schon but is that Greg Rolie on keys?
yes indeed, and Michael Shrieve on the drums!
Yeah, It´s Gregg Rollie
And Mike Shrieve, both members of the original band
What a SOUND at the organ. Amazing !
Карлос Сантана как всегда на высоте

Wish this lineup would tour
Santana has not sounded this good since - well, when they last had this line-up.
The whole concert was good value. At 69 (Carlos) playing with his old pals. And not compromising. Sound and video quality good. Relentless percussion not to be denied. Crowd also cool - not young wanabes with hands in the air, but rather witnesses to a phenomena.
40 years have just disappeared! Fantastic to see this line-up back together.
Wow! They played this close to the original. Great to see these young men together again. Viva Santana
The best band of all time!
Michael Shrieve for the WIN!
CARLOS SANTANA AND NEAL SCHON PERFECT.
IMPRESIONANTE.
CINCUENTA AÑOS DESPUÉS, CARLOS SANTANA, SIGUE SIENDO..... EL MEJOR.
MARABILLOSO.
SU MAGIA ES INFINITA.
PIDO A DIOS TODOPODEROSO, KE LO GUARDE MUCHOS AÑOS.
GRACIAS CARLOS.
ESTÁS ILUMINADO POR LA VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE.
AURRERÁ

Fifty years later, these master musicians are still in their prime! Superb😊❤

Carlos, your guitar expertise is mind-blowing. You are the best guitarist EVER.
um estilo latino afro cheio de interlinhas sonoras num estilo próprio da banda num místico sem precedentes.
Neal should have taken the first solo, as he did on the original.
On the studio version of "No one to depend on" there are 2 guitar solos: Carlos Santana and Neal Schon (there is NO organ solo).
On the studio version of "Batuka" there is a guitar solo by Carlos Santana and an organ solo by Gregg Rolie, but in No one to depend on (studio version) there is NO organ solo.
You have to love when the artists respect (honor) the original version of a song. Nothing worse then seeing the Rolling Stone butcher their own songs.
Carlos & Neil 🎸
This double sound is one of the best things of rock music ever.
Best living guitarist
Love this Santana tune but, Carlos's playing is too intense, not as cool and laidback as it used to be.
Too much coke before the gig.
He is revisiting the intensity of the early days which produced music like this.
Dios muchas gracias por regalarnos esta magnífica banda.
Gracias por compartir!!!
A “meeting of the spirits” both musically and metaphysically. 😇😎🎸
The bass player you see in this video is Bass player Benny Rietveld..
McKinley High School, Honolulu and University of Hawaii Manoa.
We are so proud of Benny. Peace, Love and Aloha from Waikiki
Bravi!!!
Wonderful
Who is the conga player?
Michael Carabello, o percussionista que tocou em 1969 no Woodestock.
Santana 111 my fav Santana album , jazzier than Abraxas but not as smooth as Welcome .
Imagine if rolie and schlon had stayed with santana.
Smoking hot 🔥
INSPIRATION.
Milled gold!!!
Sensacional. Mando um viva para o gênio Carlos Santana aqui do Brasil.
Would have loved to see Marcus Malone in this lineup.!!

@@wilfredojr.causing1608 I think that carlos doesn't need a 2nd axman, doesnt matter what band he was in...

Did get to see them on tour for the Santana 3 album. I wore the vinyl record out.
love this music
