I saw Carlos walking across the street by guitartar center in Vegas. I slammed on the brakes and yelled "Carlos Fucking Santana" he started laughing came up to my window asked me if I wanted an autograph. I said Fuck yeah lol still hanging on my fridge 12 years later. Amazing guy... Huge fan!
@@slit4659 I believe it! No matter how he comes across here, or what people want to believe about him...he's one of those guys who holds himself up with great regard. Big ego. If you have a great story, he ALWAYS has one better.
I caught Carlos Santana flying in First Class, early in 2000's, I was on a business trip (only), you could tell he just wanted to chill and not be recognized or have anyone bring any attention to him, so as I passed him in the aisle I put my hands together as in prayer and bowed to his greatness, as I did this he acknowledged me the same exact way , as to say thank you and that as humans we are all equal...true story
He doesn’t really remember the performance vividly. This is what he said regarding it: “Imagine performing up there on LSD or mescaline or peyote. It was hard for me to even remember anything until I saw the video of it.”
Bernie Sanders represents the White Male Patriarchy: "Captain Trips", was Jerry's nick name back then. He knew "the guy's, guy"(CIA asset), and got as much as he wanted for free...
An acid trip can be a wonderful, cosmic, oceanic experience or it can be a reckoning, you had to be aware that the things you were avoiding could become unavoidable! Set and setting are important factors to consider when tripping. Back in the 1960's, a set of shared beliefs, ideas, attitudes, and knowledge were common within the counterculture. When you tripped, you felt part of that collective consciousness, it was reassuring to sense a connection to everyone. I wouldn't want to trip today, not only because I'm not as strong as I was when young (mindset) but because there isn't a supportive culture (setting).
I always carefully planned my trips. Except this one time I remember peaking on 2 hits of mescaline and my mother came in to my room and said "your father and I want to have a family meeting". It was the things nightmares are made of. I told her I can't and slammed the door. Lucky for me she didn't force the issue or I probably would have had a panic attack. Instead I turned on the black light and strapped in for the rest of the ride. 😂
I shook his hand once too. It was after he sat in with the dead at the Oakland coliseum for watchtower. The crowd was dispersing in the parking lot. We were kinda in a hurry, and he was in the middle of a deep conversation. So I just shook and went on my way.
Carlos Santana has given the world some of the very best Latin Rock music ever made in the history of mankind. I admire him for his talent, his faith, and his courage to share his faith with boldness. GOD bless you Carlos. Thank you for your music and your spiritual guidance.
Their performance was amazing. They were unknown mostly as their debut album had yet to hit the market. Michael Shrieve was amazing on drums. They were only 20 years old give or take
Yes. Michael Shrieve was 20 at Woodstock. That footage is just supernal! It will live forever. A statement of the sheer power of the Soul in the strength of youth.
good interview, good interviewer, and good God, Carlos, you are such a real and down to earth person. So glad you made it through and can still speak intelligently about so many things. Between you and Arlo Guthrie, most things that needed to be said were covered.
Santana performance at Woodstock was a high-water mark if ever there was one. Any time I hear some new guitarist on the internet being hailed as a genius I ask, "When they can do what Carlos did at Woodstock, then I'll take notice." Not trying to be mean, or cruel, but these guys just ran on pure instinct and energy, and sadly we just don't see that these days...
The word from Carlos Santana, "Trust your fingers to know where to go on the guitar" He combined that with trying to simultaneously be in touch with The Great Spirit, thereby in what might be called a Soul Sacrifice, he became the conduit for The Spirit in front of 500 000 people @ Woodstock. He is AWESOME
As someone who did a TON of Acid in the late 80's with my idiot friends, i gotta say I love this story. Thing is, what happened to him on stage happened to all of us at one time or another. The difference is his got focused thru his guitar and someone recorded it for the world to see. And what you see is a deeply "Religious" experience. He said the word "Shaman". But i would say at that time he was just going from Student to Teacher. Like a snake he shed his skin live on stage. In a thousand years people will still watch Soul Sacrifice with open mouths and awe in their eyes. It was the making of a musical Shaman. Respects Mr. Santana
We dropped early and were peaking during Santana's set. Saturday at Woodstock was a very intense day. After Santana was done we all went down to the lake and took a group bath with Dr Bronner's. A good time was had by all.
One would really struggle to find more beautiful guitar playing than by Carlos Santana, especially on that Moonflower double album. Just beautiful. It's like God took over.
Key here is success=readiness+opportunity, Santana had practiced these songs diligently for years, he was ready to kill those songs no matter what state his mind was in, and the acid just opened his mind without hindering
I love it; Carlos says the most important thing in the conversation at the very end, “it’s also very therapeutic and healing for you”, but they cut it off right as he says that.
Be kind man, not mankind. I’m sure they know that. He meant back when it was good and strong. Nowadays you buy it and get somethin that’s not even acid or barely enough on a tab to do anything to you
I remember my first and only acid trip as a great experience. I had a cool conversation with Bob Dylan - he was on an album cover stuck to the wall, and I only wish I could remember what we talked about.
I am a big Santana / Carols Santana fan, what great music. I was lucky to see them at Woodstock and also at a show they did 1n 1969 at a Masonic Temple Hall in Elizabeth, NJ., During the 1st half of the show the people were just sitting still in their seats but by the middle of the show everyone was on their feet gyrating, moving to the music and having blast.
I love it, "when we landed." When he said that, I literally picked up on a space ship hovering over earth. He incarnated to make some freakin out of this world music so the masses could bask and revelate in the goodness.
Carlos Sanrana is a Prince of a man. Love him to pieces. I had the honor to spend three hours with him. He came out to El Paso to support a friend that had surgery. I was the lucky nurse to take care of said friend. He and I just talked and talked. The word got out in the hospital that the great Carlos Santana was in the building. He was so lovely and cordial to all the doctors and nurses that came down to see if it was real. That Carlos Effin Santana was I'm the building. I'll cherish meeting him forever.
@@Emanuela9 He suffered from depression. I don't know if he initially took it therapeutically or recreationally, but he credited it as one of the only things that really helped. I'd like to read that book.
*Carlos Santana is Amazing in concert. I had the pleasure of visiting his hometown, Autlan, in Mexico. He has contributed a lot to his hometown such as helping to build a hospital.* ❤
Carlos, if you read this, I love your music for more than 40 years since I heard Europa the first time. I still think it's one of your most beautiful and powerful performances - you have a connection to the divine power of the universe and transferring it when you play your music. I know that.
Why am I just now finding this out? Always thought that performance was epic, and now i have to watch it again. That said, Mike Shreve the drummer stole the show.
he described it so well with the slithering snake hah its incredibly difficult to find the "notes on the neck" in this mindset and nothing feels stationary with the neck.. pretty much abandon using any eyesight and rely purely on the connection and feeling of the music... its incredible/quite the experience
@@thebog11 don't I know it. I did Ayahuasca multiple times which really helped my mental health, then I took a decent dose of acid one time and it fucked me up a bit
@@Shrimpilla both to be honest. This is why these factors are so important. It's ashame because psychedelics really helped with depression and now I am too scared to try them again because of the acid experience...
Tout à fait d'accord ! Je vais le voir en concert demain et ça va surement être hallucinant mdr j'écoute sa musique tout le temps mais il ya longtemps que je prends de l'acide
@Old Crow i was just talking about the live show I attended. I don’t use drugs, Not condoning drug use. I laud him because he’s a great musician not because he took drugs like many do in our society musicians and non musicians.
The problem with Tim Leary is that "he crashed around America selling consciousness expansion without ever giving a thought to the grim, meat-hook realities that were lying in wait for all those people who took him seriously. All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy peace and understanding for three bucks a hit. See, what Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole lifestyle he helped create. A generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the acid culture. The desperate assumption that somebody, or at least some force is tending the light at the end of the tunnel"
He played at the very first Diamond Head Crater Fest. In Hawaii around the 70z, my brother in law and I had crossed the entire crater to go buy banana fritters for my sister, on the way he gives me some acid. We get the fritters and everything begins to waver. Halfwayz back Santanna breaks out with Oye Como Va and in the beginning of the song is a high pitched guitar 'reeeeeeeee' and I literally melted into the ground. Took us hours to get back and by then, there were.....no more fritters left. My sister was sooo mad......I think😆
Yes, that's true. Hendrix said Billy was his favorite. They were good friends. Also, Jimi said/thought Terry Kath of the band Chicago was better than he (Jimi) was.
Jimi had a stock answer every time someone asked him his fave or, "What's it like to be the greatest guitarist in the world?" Jimi would say, "I don't know, talk to...(insert name here)." (Others included Leslie West, Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, Terry Kath, Buddy Guy...)
Yes, you know what Carlos ??? I love your energy too..and I was born a little to early to go to Woodstock, but soul sacrifice..& the faces you made playing guitar OMG, are you kidding me !? It made me love your guitar playin from jump..😍and the conga drummer , to your piano man , no DISRESPECT, but I dont remember their name right now . .YOU GUYS ARE MY FAVE ...YU DO HAVE A VIBE AND ITS MAGNETIC...I LOVE YU BROTHER , TALENT!!

That... that is something else.
Happy to see appreciation 😄
That is when you know... you broke ground. You broke bad!
RIGHT!!!
Yes i can imagine.. They both are really lucky
LSD + bad scheduling = One of the best rock performances ever in the history of rock and roll. Cant make this stuff up.......
Was crazy back then
this was the best of the rest ,it was magic ,now is another story ...
Lsd was more pure back in the day
Now they cut it with research chemicals to make more product

Wow
I see it now
you know acid is powerful when you can recall something that happened years ago this vividly
I still vividly remember my first acid trip in 1979. Even the song going through my head, "It's Magic".
you'd never forget an intense trip like that
I remember my very first trip just as vividly, 48 years ago.
He doesn’t really remember the performance vividly. This is what he said regarding it: “Imagine performing up there on LSD or mescaline or peyote. It was hard for me to even remember anything until I saw the video of it.”
So its pts dope
I saw Carlos Santana three years before Woodstock! He was playing in Hayward California! I was 9 years old!!!
#California magic 💯
That's crazy! How old are u now? Or how long ago was this?
@@BUKWulfSh0t He was born in 1957. So he'd by 62-63 by now.
where in Hayward?
No you didn’t but nice try bud
I wasn't shocked when he said Jerry Garcia gave him the acid 😂
Bernie Sanders represents the White Male Patriarchy If Garcia offered _me_ some acid, I’d take it.
Only one time that I saw the dead, that I wasn't on acid, or shrooms.

@Nat Frank Zappa sucked. He never said anything best.
Marc Bell so it makes you PC? Lol
Frank Zappa could hardly talk and play, so he needed the focus of just shutting up and playing his guitar. Worked better for him it seemed.
@Nat "stoned on acid"

I'd actually say the same thing to anyone about any drug.
It’s time that those of us in the Psychedelic community speak up in an effort to reverse the stigma that the propaganda of the “War on Drugs” created.
Acid opens your mind to see the world in a completely different way. I've never seen the world the same since I had my first hit in 1979.

See, what Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole lifestyle he helped create. A generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old-mystic fallacy of the acid culture. The desperate assumption that somebody, or at least some force is tending the light at the end of the tunnel"
It was a fucking bus party that lasted too long.....end of story hippie
Pogue Mahone paper make brain go brrrrrrrrrr

He played at the very first Diamond Head Crater Fest. In Hawaii around the 70z, my brother in law and I had crossed the entire crater to go buy banana fritters for my sister, on the way he gives me some acid. We get the fritters and everything begins to waver. Halfwayz back Santanna breaks out with Oye Como Va and in the beginning of the song is a high pitched guitar 'reeeeeeeee' and I literally melted into the ground. Took us hours to get back and by then, there were.....no more fritters left. My sister was sooo mad......I think😆
Imagine jimi likes ur music
Bernie Sanders represents the White Male Patriarchy Where did u read that?
Jimi really dug Cream. No wonder.
Yes, that's true. Hendrix said Billy was his favorite. They were good friends. Also, Jimi said/thought Terry Kath of the band Chicago was better than he (Jimi) was.
Jimi had a stock answer every time someone asked him his fave or, "What's it like to be the greatest guitarist in the world?"
Jimi would say, "I don't know, talk to...(insert name here)."
(Others included Leslie West, Rory Gallagher, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, Terry Kath, Buddy Guy...)
Imagine Jimi, Jerry, Janis and Jim Morrison like your music!
