- Santana performs Soul sacrifice at Woodstick live.This is a reaction to the show that seemed like an out of body experience to me.
Carlo Santana's guitar playing,the percussions,the drummer,the organist,were all having an unbelievable spiritual experience with their instruments on the stage.

I'm glad you picked the long version with drummer Michael Shrieve doing his solo. He was 17 at the time.
Actually 20... check out his wiki I posted
Yes, he was 20...17 when he started playing with Santana. Still....he was the youngest musician at Woodstock.
His birthday is July 6, 1949. Woodstock was Aug 15-18, 1969. He had just turned 20 a little over a month before the concert
@@moonbeam2062 And Carlos turned 22 in July also.
Seems to be multiple edits of the song in general
Nice reaction
This was hands down the best performance at Woodstock
Absolutely..it's a masterpiece.
Ten Years After also.
Imagine being at this show with so MUCH talent
Crazy that they didn't even have a record deal at the time of this performance . Only folks from San Francisco (especially The Mission District ) and Bill Graham even knew who Santana even was
That was the hottest performance ever......PERIOD!!! 🎉
MI BROTHER SANTANA MEXICAN MUSICIAN , IS GREAT FOREVER. THAHKS FROM MEXICO CITY.
Woodstock was not a concert, it was a page in history!
Yes
Harri, I was in that sea of people. I'm 71 now and still remember this vividly. They came on stage and we had never heard of them. Perhaps the best performance we saw, although would have been impossible to see every act as we had to sleep at some point. Glad you liked Ten Years After and thank you for that. Another performance from Woodstock to check out is Sly and the Family Stone, hopefully a long version like you had here. I really enjoy your reactions.
Hell yes Bob, Santana was magnificent! Harri, pls check out Sly & Fam Stone, Higher, I envy you Bob, was 9 at the time, had I been older, would have trucked on up there from Philly!!!! Peace to you friend✌️🇺🇸🎸🐦
Sly Stone . . . Tasty. I wasn’t there (5 years old at the time) but I have lived the music from that festival since I saw the movie at the Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline, MA (a classic theater) in 1980. I’m just as excited about Santana’s performance as I was the first time I saw it.
WOODSTOCK WAS, THE GREATEST FESTIVAL EVER! NOT ONLY BECAUSE YOU GOT SO MUCH GREAT BANDS, ARTISTS! BUT, BECAUSE, THEY GAVE THEIR SOULS! ALL OF THEM MADE GREAT PERFORMANCES! THE DRUMMER, WAS ONLY 17 ! INSANE!
I've seen SANTANA some 30+ times in my life. LEVITATED Every time. Indeed I DID.
This was, in my opinion, the best lineup Santana ever had. They kicked ass six ways from Sunday on this occasion.
Totally agree. They were my first concert, in 1967 (I was 12)-they played at a bowling alley in Napa. But the stage was too small for all those percussionists. It was still great. A year later I saw them in San Jose with the full lineup and man they blew me away. So powerful! All those conga drums!Just amazing. And yes, I don’t think their first album was released until after the movie came out.
The bass player was Dave Brown….you are right, he was the designated driver. The legend of this performance of Soul Sacrifice just grows and grows. Yes they were on the Woodstock bill but they were complete unknowns when they took the stage. Their first album hadn’t even been released yet. Great reaction, thanks!!!
I believe he became homeless and on the street.
@@bobbys4327 no that was Marcus Malone who was already out of the band by Woodstock. Malone played congas
richie havens freedom was a woodstock moment to remember
Yeeeeeeees!
Hell yeah brutha...
Yeah...🗣
and Arlo Guthrie
.
@@trevordoolan5011 Coming into Los Angeles, bringing in a couple of keys, don't check my bags if your please mr. customs man...
Yeah, I love when he's walking off stage & still playing. Epic.
Half a MILLION people watching one incredibly talented drummer do his thing in total silence....AMAZING
How these guys can go off on separate tracks and still play off each other is just sick. The beats are so organic that the move from the one to four at each transition escapes conscious notice, but not subconscious notice, making the transition from the four back to the one so much more powerful; approaching and then reaching the orgasmic in such a sublime way.
And then Michael Shreive brings it back home like nobody's business. Chills every time.
You can't chart those percussion lines. That kind of synergy is beyond human comprehension. Beyond time.
funny, I just looked up the drummer's name before reading the comment below....Michael Shrieve played his heart, soul, and drumming-hands off at Woodstock...Carlos Santana's guitar playing is next level awesome!! cool reaction video, keep 'em rolling!
No “Auto Tune” here kids, no digital tricks, no triggers, no effects, just as it used to be, lifting your game all the time.
In the 60s that's the way it was ALL the time ....at a concert EVERYBODY got to show their stuff!! You young people have missed out on SO much good music. I am glad you get to enjoy it now. As we said in the 60s... ROCK ON!!
Santana interview , he said he took acid because he thought he was going on later. They changed the time and he was peaking. “ the neck of the guitar was like a snake , I was just hanging on” The drummer. was 16 or 17. I am 73. Went there from Montreal in an Austin Healy.
Santana took the stage as unknowns . They left as legends !!
You are right, Santana was a SF Bay Area musician at the time. Few knew of him on the East Coast.
10yrs After (coming home) is my SECOND favorite woodstock performance😃👊... Soul Sacrifice is my #1. It's the GOAT. Period.
brother, I am 66, I was an Air Force brat, I was living in Hawaii, me and my best friend Kenny went to movie theater on base ans saw Woodstaock the movie when it first came out, I was 13 or 14.., I never forget, was a Saturady afternoon,...when we left the theater we both wished we had been there...imagine living in Hawaii and wishing you could have been in upstate New York! Was trippy! Great react!!!
The whole band was high on mushrooms, they were flying!! Love that rendition of Soul Sacrifice, they blew those hippies away!!!
When Santana plays his eyes glaze over and the musical gods take him over. I just went to see him in Las Vegas a month ago and at the age of 74 the musical gods still take him over. I don’t think he can see when the gods take him over. What a great concert.
He thought his guitar was a snake! Such a great performance!
But in this particular instance it was LSD, not the music gods. ;)
I remember watching the Woodstock movie on television (I think it was on PBS) when I was in high school. My dad was in the living room as the movie was playing; he was a WWII vet who enjoyed big band music but was definitely not a rock fan. He was reading a newspaper, not saying a word as other bands played. This song came on, and as Mike Shrieve’s drum solo kicked into high gear, the corner of the newspaper slowly turned down as Dad started watching. He kept watching for the rest of the song, and at the end he said “those guys certainly worked hard”. High praise indeed from Dad!
The corner of the newspaper slowly turned down...... omg, my dad was a WWII Vet as well John and, I can totally envision the scene.... our beloved dad's knew great playing when they heard it!!!!! Terrific comment my friend!!! 🇺🇸💯🎸🐦
Carlos Santana and his band were beasts in this awesome performance. Woodstock was a miracle in so many ways and something that can never be replicated. I’m so grateful for the footage from the festival that will always be cherished. Thanks Harri🌺✌️
I saw them at Jones Beach Summer concerts back in the 90's. I was 1st row center. Carlos was practically standing on my head. My ears are still ringing.
Joy in music, sonic beauty, in any form to human ears will illicit pure emotional responses. The one language we all understand. Gift from God. Like a smile.
For me, Santana was the best band at woodstock and the birth of a super group
Santana was unknown when they stepped on stage at Woodstock. Their first album was still 2 weeks from being released. However they stepped off the stage that day with almost half a million new fans!
One of the best acts at Woodstock! You are right about Ten Years after! The way music was meant to be played!! Crazy good stuff!❤️
Hendrix, Sly, Crosby Stills and Nash, so many great performances. 500,000 people, three days in the rain and the mud, some of the worlds top bands and no violence. It was a different world.
Joe Cocker, Richie Havens, Sly and the Family Stone, The Who.
Also: food shortages, horrendous smell due to lack of enough toilets, Hendrix almost didn't play because he didn't agree with his salary for the gig even tho everyone got paid the same, the Army had to come in to sort out this mess because hundreds of thousands of attendees just showed up and tore down the fences.
While it was a massively influencing event with amazing artists, it wasn't all fun and games.
@@musicairplanes4884 THE WHO ! Yes !
@@gerchwurzelsepp8243 No one cares about the negative side. They dealt with it. This was a once in a generation moment that would be impossible today.
CROSBY STILLS NASH AND YOUNG
“Look at the way those girls were dancing! That wasn’t normal.“ 😂 absolutely! everyone was having an out of body experience!
This was # 1 song at Woodstock-Joe Cocker # 2 Little Help from my Friends, Ten Years after # 3 Going Home. I saw this in 1970 and the entire audience was in a trance-it was so amazing.
Legend has it they had all dropped acid and then had to go on stage earlier than expected. I just cannot see how they would have played so superbly under the influence. Far from them being 'out of it', this is one of the most brilliantly tight and cohesive performances you will ever see. No corrective tech or backing tracks. Just brilliant musicians in a groove from heaven.
This has always been my favorite performance from Woodstock
Michael Shrive was 20 years old at this performance....Born: July 6, 1949. The real impressive thing is how good he was at that age, how many years playing to get that damn good.
And just like that 1/2 a million of us kids picked up whatever they could find around and kept the beat. It was my birthday and the best party ever.
Richie Havens was the first act at Woodstock they asked him to keep playing because other people hadn't arrived yet he played a five hours straight react to Richie Havens live at Woodstock
Santana wasn't scheduled to go on stage for about eight more hours. They decided to get high and enjoy all of the other artists and Bands, so they took some LSD and other drugs, figuring they'd be fine by the time they were going to perform later that evening. After an hour or so, one of the guys running the show, comes up and says "We need you to go on now, because some other artist hasn't arrived yet as the roads are all backed up from concert goers clogging the them." Santana was just starting to feel the effects of their various drugs they had taken. Carlos Santana, went on to play maybe the best guitar performance of his career, which The Band was only formed weeks earlier. A very young drummer ( 18yrs old) from Seattle was just graduated out of High school and found himself in front of 500,000 people at the world's largest ever 3 day Rock Festival. 1969 was a Hell of a year! Oh yeah, we did a little thing by landing a man on the moon as well, just a month before.
Arlo guthrie had the same experience, he described it at a 25th anniversary mini-concert in 1994. (The other 'vets' of the festival there were Canned Heat and Melanie). He thought he had plenty of time before he went onstage, so he smoked up a joint. Guess what happened next? lol
I love the ending when Bill Graham pats Gregg Rollie on the back and points out to the massive audience. I imagine he said something to him like “Take a good look out at that sea of people and see how you just lit them on fire, and remember it because you’ll never see something like this again!”. What a breakthrough for a virtually unknown band, and Bill Graham discovered them and insisted they be on the bill at Woodstock when nobody outside of San Francisco had ever heard of them.
this is the indispensable version--thanks for reacting to it and to the person who recommended it.........
We thought it was gonna be "just another concert" and the NY roads were jammed. We said "forget it man"...what a mistake!!! Love your show, peace and love through God always my brother.
Listening to Carlos Santana play is incredible, one of the greatest guitar players in history. I went to see Santana in Tucson, halfway through their set Eric Clapton joined the band to jam with Carlos. Just WOW! They alternated playing a Santana song and a Clapton song. Pure magic.
Johnny Winter playing "Mean Town Blues" live at Woodstock.
Drummer, I think was 18 or 19 years old at the time, a Nicaraguan and a Puerto Rican on the congas, best percussive combo you’ll ever see, best Santana lineup period !
The drummer had just turned 20 a little over a month before the concert. (Michael Shrieve)
They were both INCREDIBLE
I was immediately engaged by the rhythm of this song and it just kept building! That drum solo!!! My first time hearing this song. Even better than expected 👍😃
Most of the band dropped acid before their set expecting to play for 30 minutes then party, there was some technical issues that kept them on stage for longer so by the time they got to this, the last song of the set they were tripping hard......lsd takes about 45 minutes to kick in. At least.....thats what I heard lol
Of my Harri, Woodstock had some of the greatest artists at the time playing, so, so many. You would not be disappointed if you watched the movie Woodstock, I promise.
Yes. Director's cut, 3 hours and 45 minutes long. Peace out.
Exactly the music of a generation
The Monterey Pop documentary is also not to be missed. I never tire of the videos of either Soul Sacrifice of Goin' Home. My favorite cuts from the movie.
The drummer was only 20 years old... I am a drummer and this performance always stuck with me!
I believe Carlos was on another planet that night.
I was 15 years old in 1969 , santana the best from Peru
My late mom, took me and my brother and sister, to the Woodstock concert, one of the best concert ever live. Remember this was during the height of the Vietnam war, social unrest in our cities. But, this was a time to get high, and just groove with the greatest music in history. There was so much love and peace, everyone everyone forgot the problems of the world. Far out man. . . , man the love, and happiness was so pure. This was during the height of vi
Did you hear that they closed off New York State Thruway, man? Also, there was some brown acid circulating that was 'not specifically too good'. It's your own trip, so do your own thing, but just know there is a warning about the brown acid. Anyways, see you at the lake! (Bathing suits optional.) 😛
At Woodstock, that was the normal. Nothing but peace, love and music. Peace out.
Man, after 53 years we have grandchildren now. Have mercy on us.
Welcome to my world. I was 17 in 1969. I wanted to do Woodstock SO BADLY. Dad would have killed me though!
this is over 50 years ago and nothing like it had ever happened on Earth.even today it's still pretty moving.
You should react to Joe Cocker at Woodstock as well as the group Canned Heat also fixing to die Rag by Country Joe and the Fish
One of the 100 Greatest Live Performances In Music History.
I was 14 in 1969, and I lived on the left coast so I missed going to Woodstock. However when the movie of the concert came out, it had an “R” rating. I couldn’t get in, I wasn’t old enough! BUT, my glorious mother took me into the theatre which was 100% legal, then she left me there to go to my own “Woodstock”. What a great mother! (A WW2 U.S. Marine she was!)
so if someone told you 'you mother wore combat boots!" you would take it as a compliment? lol
It really was spiritual. a renaissance in music and love. Carlos was tripping hard and said his guitar looked like a snake. Wizardry on display. Sir, Woodstock was first planned for 50,000. When it reached an estimated 100,000 they had to find another city, and found a natural amphitheater in grass with lakes, from helicopter. They reached 400,000 and lasted three or four days with city residents making sandwiches by the truck load and delivering to the farm. Again, Sir HarriBest has the best channel on the world-wide web. Peace and love.
He was tripping because he hung out with Garcia earlier and thought his time on stage had been bumped back. Then suddenly he was called on stage. Oops, he was a trippen’
Carlos always give you his heart and soul when he performs. Saw em live 4 times but. not at Woodstock, I was only 14. The infusion of Hispanic roots always made his music a little different. I've always connected to the tone of his guitar and his desire to let others shine made him one my all time favorite performers. Thanks for the Woodstock Revival today Harri!
The best Concert by fare for all time !!! We where so lucky
Carlos is the star what an inspired solo .❤❤
This is one of my favourite tracks. Carlos does his thing, then allows his buddies to have a solo also - pretty awesome band leader!.
Now we have one favorite song. In the 70s we had 1000+ favorite songs.
'63-'73 It was all downhill after that.
@@linjicakonikon7666 The 80s was the disgrace.
Up to half a million people in the audience!
Fuggin’ crazy is right! Ten years after was mind blowing as well, as was every act that weekend!
When I see Soul Sacrifice and Woodstock. I will watch the video. I never get tired of listening to this song and the reviews. This longer version is the best version. The shorter version edits the drummer to cut his show down. I like and agree with your review. Woodstock gave Santana their breakout show for the nation to see how good they are.
At various times and places they've stated they were high on acid, peyote, or mescaline. I originally heard it was mescaline about 20 or 30 years ago. Carlos said he was hallucinating that his guitar had turned into a snake and he was wrestling it. FYI: On the Woodstock album cover is a photo of a standing couple wrapped up in a pink blanket looking out over a field of trash. A few years ago, on the 50th anniversary, he called into a radio show claiming to be the man of the couple in the blanket and that they were married, still together, and still had the blanket.
It Was LSD
@@davidhattman7649 that’s what Carlos said and he was getting off when they called them up unexpectedly..
I think everyone knows now and said it in every comment section.
In an interview that can be found here on UA-cam, Carlos said the LSD was given to him by Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. Thanks Jerry! 😊
The whole movie is worth watching.
Best drum solo I've ever heard. All of the musicians in this band were famous. I saw them at Woodstock! I was blessed to be there. I saw 10 year after
They were high as shit... Santana said he thought his guitar was a serpent (or something like that) and he was fighting it, they took mescaline. This was like the beginning of the golden age of popular music, so much creativity. This is a jam!
I worked with a lady when I was a teen in the late 80s. Her name was Jean and she showed me her original Woodstock ticket (her boyfriend had his; he wound up going to Vietnam a few weeks later. He made it home). They weren't even taking tickets by the time she got there. She got to see these guys and this song was a highlight for her. They had no idea who Santana were but she they sure did after this jam. She talked about how the storms were terrible; the mud people were real. They stayed until Monday morning to see Jimi Hendrix which Jean said was electric. Her bf took his dad's van & someone stole the stereo which was state-of-the-art at the time. Damn long-haired Hippies thieves lol. Nice review 🙂
The organist is Greg Rolie, who, together with another later member of Santana (Neil Schon) formed the band Journey in the early seventies.
Harri.....are you saying we were musically spoiled back then ?? I'd say you're right. Child of the 60's, grew up in San Francisco. How grateful I am to be able to say I witnessed much of the greatest music ever created.
Who on Gods green earth gave this a thumbs down?
If you are looking for a rabbit hole to dive into, I highly recommend you going through the entire Woodstock 21 song set ending with Jimi Hendrix doing the Star Spangled Banner and Purple Haze. Your view of music will never be the same.
We have a friend who was hired as security for this event...He had all kinds of tales from that time...countless cases of overdoses,food shortage ,good and bad drugs,etc;(of which he did quite a few as well)ha,ha...You really must see the whole concert to give these acts some context...Ty for your react brotha
This set & TYF with Alvin Lee are my daily bread ! I will go to my grave listening to this music as well as Janis J, The Temptations & of course Marvin Gaye 😊
You are sooooo right🙏
Carlos Santana was 20 yrs old. Jimi Hendrix had just landed on a helicopter 🚁 an hour before the Santana set. Jimi was in awe when he heard this band. Jimi even approached Carlos after their performance and told him that his note choice on the guitar were very tasteful.
This music is part of my DNA. I feel like I’m getting supercharged whenever I hear this.
This was Santanas big break ☮️💜. Michael Shrieve on drums is known today as one of the best drummers around. More than 400,000 people were there
He was a BEAST
MUSIC FOR PEACE, WE NEED NOW OTHER MUSIC LIKE THAT
they weren't expecting to play this set/time other bands couldn't make it, so they played like three hours early, having just dropped acid, figuring they had plenty of time for it to wear off.
I saw Santana in 1968, a year before Woodstock at the University of Washington Hub ballroom at 4 am. Carlos sitting on the edge of the bandstand, weaving his way way into Black Magic Woman.
Carlos just blew me away and still does. Caught him later in his white suit phase at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle. Such a brilliant, spiritual musician and man. And he draws gifted musicians with him for the world to see. Carlos Santana. Anytime. Anywhere.
Woodstock! Enough said 🤠🇺🇸🐎✌️🥞🇬🇧
TO me tSoul Sacrifice is one of the most emotional, passionate, gut-wrenching tour-de-forces ever performed.
I'm an Angelina fan, and you know how old a lot of us are...l was 14yrs old right up front, tripping my brains out..glad that you reacted to this one.
I’ve seen Santana , they rocked the house. Dallas 1990 I believe.
An unintended masterpiece of the genre.
One of the very best live perfs. ever! People will be watching listening to this forever--
I agree about Santana & 10 Years After - they are my two favs from Woodstock! Glad you played the long drum solo & percussion & bass & organ 😆💗🎶☮️ Your Reaction was the BEST !
Sad news Marcus ‘The Magnificent’ the conga percussionist recently passed away, May he RIP & keep playing wherever he is 💓☮️😢💔
I have been to MANY SANTANA concerts and each one was GREAT and DIFFERENT!!
One other barnburner at Woodstock - Sly & the Family Stone! They blow the roof off the stage, Harri!
Brother ,you really need to react to the opening act of woodstock.Richie Havens set will blow your mind profoundly!
Definitely my favorite Woodstock performance!
One of the best live performances ever!!!! The best music ever!!
Major drummer genius. He was with Santana for a couple of years from the beginning
Acid Fuelled Santana & Band is Absolutely Amazing...🙌
.
I remember listening to Santana in the late 60's and early 70's. There was always great percussions in his music...
Harri..you're expressions in this..Priceless!
Your toooo
My first concert was Ten Years After in about 1973...love the band and love this version of Soul Sacrifice
Kudos to whoever filmed this performance they gave every musician in the group exposure and obviously understood music and which musicians to hi-light at at which point, just a mind blowing performance from a top 10 Artist and the reaction of the crowd said it all, that must have been some experience for both the group and the crowd.
To me, this was THE performance of Woodstock
And something very new to the mostly east coast white kids.
It hasn't aged out, it just seems more astonishing
