The Santana concert at Tanglewood from 1970 is one of the best concerts you can watch on YT. Especially if you like Latin percussion music and Carlos' guitar.
The drummer is Michael Shrieve,he was only 19 at the time and there is a longer riff on the drums than what you saw( maybe you can find that version)one of the greats
@@rhwinner The full version video (9:50 minutres) also does not include the whole 11:50 minute song - the audio is 'Soul Sacrifice (Live at The Woodstock Music & Art Fair, August 16, 1969)'. it's the Legacy Edition of their first album.
Former musical theater turned rock vocalist (many years ago) here. The keyboard player is Gregg Rolie, who left Santana with guitar player Neil Schon to form Journey in 1972. And a very young Michael Shrieve on drums as others have already mentioned. The story goes that they weren't expected to play until later in the evening so Carlos engaged in a bit of "acid". When they called them to play early, he was "trippin' balls"! Carlos has said that he actually "watched" the neck of his guitar turn into a snake while playing this song at Woodstock. Thanks for the memory and a great reaction, and yes, Michael was a beast! Keep doing what you do and I'll keep watching.
I heard their first album a few weeks after Woodstock. It was a great time for music, but Santana blew our minds: African and Latin percussion, R&B, blues, rock in their own original style. The smiles as they watch and listen to each other says it all: they were nailing a performance for the ages at Woodstock.
Great reaction👏🙌🎶. I had the great pleasure of seeing Santana about 3 months after this performance at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco. We were blown away for sure. Funny one of the highlights was the drummer but I couldn't actually see him through the band. I told everybody about this drummer not knowing his name or seeing his face. It wasn't until all these decades later seeing UA-cam video of this that oh! So! That's the drummer I was so impressed with. 20 year old Michael Shrieve👌👏👋‼️ there is a 3 minute longer version of this performance that shows the whole drum solo. Why would anyone ever edit out minutes of that drum solo?
I was strolling around looking for some water to drink during their set and got back to my friend just as they launched into this and we had never heard of them before ,but after we got their album they've been one of the favorite bands ever for us. Have since seen them several times with different line-ups. .
About a year ago I posted this comment to another drummer's site (Andrew Rooney Drums) about this amazing Santana performance. Because the only reason that all you folks these days (and myself in the past) get to appreciate any of the performances at Woodstock in 1970 was because of the very talented crew of camera operators (including a very young Martin Scorcese) and sound technicians who the producers of the film "Woodstock" funded to be on-site. Different times, indeed. No one will probably remember Taylor Swift's drummer(s) even a year from now but this Santana performance (whether with the whole Michael Shrieve drum solo or not!) will always be remembered as part of a documented history, rather than a commercial or promotional vehicle for any specific musical artist. My comment: "Let's not forget the amazing camera work and editing that allows us to enjoy all this footage from the film "Woodstock". Directed by Michael Wadleigh and a very young Martin Scorsese was the stage assistant director and one of the film editors. I think it was one of the first music documentaries along with "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" (about Joe Cocker's 1970 tour) that used the relatively recent split-screen techniques that were pioneered by various pavilions at Expo '67 in Montreal (Labyrinth, CP-Cominco) commercially. When this film came out, movie theatres were pretty easy-going about letting you pay one admission and sit through multiple showings. We definitely took advantage of that!"
Interesting story on how Santana got to play at Woodstock. The promoters wanted Chicago to play there. Chicago's manager lied and said they were busy and could they use someone else. He offered them Santana, who were fairly new. Santana gave a legendary performance, and the rest is history.
The keyboardist is Greg Rolie, the original lead singer, and keys for Journey. Neal Schon joined Santana in '71...the rest is history. I've always had a thing for drummers, and Michael Shrieve is no exception, lol.
A couple of side notes, 1st there were 500,000 people for 3 days of music and no violence at all, 2nd Carlos Santana was only 22 the the drummer Michael Shrieve was only 19, 3rd Carlos and the Band where all high and Carlos was on Acid and thought his guitar was a snake.
i want to recommend specialy for you : *SANTANA - Toussaint L'overture / Evil Ways* (9min 29sec) this are two continue songs the first part is a INTRO and then Start with Evil Ways and also Santana - Oye Como Va (Audio) and then Santana - Oye Como Va - Tanglewood - 1970/08/18 i really Love Woodstock performances but i feel tanglewood is Even Better (underrated)
The first three Santana albums are chock full of iconic tunes... Evil Ways Jingo Persuasion Oye Como Va Mother's Daughter Samba Pa Ti Hope You're Feeling Better (My personal favorite) Batuka No One to Depend on Taboo Everybody's Everything Jungle Strut This era of the band was pure fire... Let's Go!!! Cheers!
There's nothing like an EPIC live performance, something that's lost by most these days. For a few others I'd recommend: Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb from the Pulse concert The Who - Young Man Blues from Isle of Wight Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 form Tanglewood CSNY - Southern Man from Filmore East
Michael Shrieve is on drums. He was only a teenager. The guy on the organ is Gregg Rolie who went on to form Journey in 1973 along with Neal Schon who also played in Santana from 1971 until Journey. He was 17 years old when he first played with Carlos.
You got your hands on a totally chopped edit of this otherwise amazing performance....find the unedited version....also the drummer is playing a standard small kit of the day....bass drum , snare, standing tom and mounted tom....yet the solo is spectacular
One of the greatest performances ever recorded. I was so excited when this movie came out so many stellar performances. Joe cocker, 10 years after, Hendrix. And so on. I was Santana a few times in the 70’s a wall of percussion.
@@hopeklemann1 That’s what quite a few others have said! I definitely have to check that out! It’s so weird that this version has so many more views than the other one! Super weird! 🤔
At the time of Woodstock, Santana was a "house band" at the Winterland theater which was owned by Bill Graham (who also owned the Fillmore and Fillmore East venues). Santana did not even have a record out at the time. Bill Graham promoted rock concerts, and he arranged to have Jefferson Airplane and The Grateful Dead play the Woodstock festival only if his latest "discovery" (Santana) had a slot in the festival. Their first album was released a few weeks after the festival. This version of the Santana band played on their first 4 albums and all of them are earth shattering.
Possibly my favorite performance OAT. You nailed it Steven, it was all about vibes, peace, love and the music That drummer is Shrieve, I knew his playing was going to grab you like a kid in a candy store. You said it man, like going into a portal to another world. Amusing tidbit Carlos said later in life. I was so high on acid that day that the guitar neck was moving all around like a snake and I didn't know how the h3ll I was able to play it...paraphrased. 🔥🔥
That is so wild playing like that and still delivering this EPIC performance! I definitely love everything about this one and the drumming is Incredible!! Thanks for the insight! 🔥🔥
This is an cut down version of this performance. If you get the official Woodstock albums or video you get the full version (They cut it shorter for a single release ).Michael Shrieve 19 at the tune and the youngest performer at Woodstock .The band was not supposed to go one untilvmuch later so they were all TRIPPING BALLS ON LSD when they performed
Steven after Woodstock and the Woodstock movie we talked about 2 bands. Alvin Lee and Ten Years After's I'm Going Home and Santana's Soul Sacrifice. Now specifically Michael Shrieve's drum solo.. What he did on the little jazz kit was amazing!!! If you want to see another of his OMG drum solos find his Soul Sacrifice solo on Santana's Soul Sacrifice at Tanglewood!!!!!!
@@rickpopham5400 It’s crazy how little views that has to the edited version! Makes no sense! 🤦🏻♂️ I will have to go back and review the full version! Definitely something I don’t mind hitting again! Phenomenal! 🔥
Love your reactions Brother, but you're killing some of us with the edited/chopped versions! First Alvin Lee/Ten Years After, and now Michael Shrieve! Look for the longer versions, when you see the options! Thanks
@@setonhillstudios I'm still looking for who's responsible for these attacks on music. These videos didn't have to worry about MTV. So why chop them? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
So sad that as a drummer, you picked the version with the shortened drum solo! You need a re-do! You also need to watch the movie/documentary about Woodstock! It was an event that changed music.
Whenever people talk about top guitarists, i seldom hear Carlos mentioned. However, IMO, he is right there with the best of them! Search for the longer clip of this performance to get a couple more minutes of the drum solo. Great reaction! Hear is the longer clip i mentioned - ua-cam.com/video/sSp05euvRNU/v-deo.htmlsi=MYC--3U3JcHoMSTK
Carlos has said that he was trippin' on acid during this performance and he thought his guitar neck was a snake and he had to keep playing better to control it...!!
They were not supposed to be on this set.. they were shifted to play At last minute...they were all tripping during this performance.. and it was considered one of the best sets at Woodstock
The drummer was Mike Shrieve, a legitimate super drummer but missing the "rock star" persona. He was all about music. Fire and finesse. His solo here was cut way short. One story goes that he had to get a note from his parents to skip school so he could play Woodstock. Also Jose "Chepito" Areas on hand drums, a world-class timbalero. The keyboard guy was Greg Rollie, he would go on to found Journey. He was playing maracas. I think you said pierogies. You eat pierogies at a Polish Christmas dinner. Just to clarify :)
And to think they were higher then a kit and still playing like that.😂 Thanks for this one. The hippie movement was all about loving and accepting. The Bongos in the song always makes me think of the line in what are Frank Zappa's songs. The line all I want to do is sit around and play my Bongos in the dirt.lol Some of the most technical drumming you'll ever hear is in Frank Zappa's "The Black Page #1" ✌️🤠🐂
The film version is the best. It's the one that is 9:39 long. They chopped the drum solo down on this one.,There is one that is 9:50 long, but I think the film one is the better one..Also, check them out at Tanglewood a year after this..The performance is even better (Imho), if you could believe that.
So the story goes (according to Carlos), the band was scheduled to go on late at night. They arrived early in the day and ran into Jerry Garcia from the Greatful Dead who suggested they take some Mescaline. Carlos figured we have several hours to trip so he and a few other members took the mesc. As they are peaking on their trip the show manager said there was a change in the schedule and they would go on now... Carlos said he was tripping so bad that the neck of his guitar became a snake and he played the set trying to control the snake and praying "please god, keep me in tune and on time." The drummer is Michael Shrieve who was 20 YO at the time.
I was 5 years old in 1969 so I was too young t o attend Woodstock. Every year now, I go to concerts at Bethel Woods Music Center which was built on the grounds of Woodstock at the top of the hill. I have to spend a few minutes every year looking down and imaging what it was like. Soul Sacrifice is one of the many songs that I hear in my head looking down. You can still feel the spirit of 1969. Every music lover needs to go there at least once.
They were high on LSD during the song, I've seen an interview of Carlos telling the story, he thought his guitar had snakes on it or was one. Micheal Shrieve is the drummer, they only got paid $750 for their set, it was pretty messed up.
Wood stock had no organization and there were a lot of problems not enough food not enough toilets no way for medical personal to get in and it rained for a lot and was just a big mud pit. But it was the first of it's kind a guess a lot lessons learned
This was their first big gig; from this performance they signed their first record deal 🤩🤩🤩 There is a better version of this performance that has Michael Shrive's drum solo, it's amazing!
It's a shame that you, like everyone else who reacted to this, got the cut version. Whoever edited the film probably didn't do any drum solos. The whole recording is complete, only Michael Shrieve's solo was cut. It's a shame.
Santana was the only band at Woodstock that didn't have an album!! That changes over night after this performance!!🎶🎼🎵🎸🎹🥁🪇🎧🎤🎙 Michael Shrieve is the drummer...20 yrs old at the time!!🥁🥁🥁🥁
You have to watch the unedited version so you can see Michael Shreve’s full drum solo you only got to watch about 10% of the whole drum solo, and as a drummer yourself you are doing an injustice to yourself.
What makes this performance even more incredible is the fact that Carlos was tripping his ass off during their set. Percussion plays a big role in Santana's music, along with guitar of course. 🤙🤔
Vaguely heard parts of the same story. Thanks for filling in the details. Always amazes me how many great old musicians could play tripping better than most good straight.lol

The Santana concert at Tanglewood from 1970 is one of the best concerts you can watch on YT. Especially if you like Latin percussion music and Carlos' guitar.
I reviewed Black Magic Woman from that concert here on the channel and it is killer! 🔥
You need to see the longer version with the whole drum solo. This version shows less than half of it
I agree. He was AMAZING.
The drummer is Michael Shrieve,he was only 19 at the time and there is a longer riff on the drums than what you saw( maybe you can find that version)one of the greats
Don't take it personally everyone reacts to the shortened edited version. But the full version has more of Michael shreves antics on drums.
@@rhwinner The full version video (9:50 minutres) also does not include the whole 11:50 minute song - the audio is 'Soul Sacrifice (Live at The Woodstock Music & Art Fair, August 16, 1969)'. it's the Legacy Edition of their first album.
Both Santana and Shrieve had birthdays in July. This was August. Michael turned 20, and Carlos turned 22.
And they were all tripping balls on Acid
...and they look it.
Actually, just Carlos....
Former musical theater turned rock vocalist (many years ago) here. The keyboard player is Gregg Rolie, who left Santana with guitar player Neil Schon to form Journey in 1972.

Thanks for the insight and appreciate you hanging out! That must have been a wild ride for sure! 🤣
Early Santana!!!!!!! Their first three albums pick a song, any song any album, you will rock till you drop. Santana Abraxas is my favorite.
I heard their first album a few weeks after Woodstock. It was a great time for music, but Santana blew our minds: African and Latin percussion, R&B, blues, rock in their own original style. The smiles as they watch and listen to each other says it all: they were nailing a performance for the ages at Woodstock.
I just love your reactions, both your knowledge and the way you express the joy of great music. And and this performance is as good as it gets.
Really appreciate that and thanks for MJ kicking it! They were definitely on 🔥
Soon as I saw the song I knew you’d go nuts over Shrieve on drums. Enjoyed it.
Your face!!!!!!
Go back to Woodstock and watch Ten Years After doing I'm Going Home.
This was the best performance of Woodstock, IMO! You hit the nail on the head; a Drummer's Dream!
Great reaction👏🙌🎶. I had the great pleasure of seeing Santana about 3 months after this performance at the Avalon Ballroom in San Francisco. We were blown away for sure.

I love listening to a good drummer. Michael Shrieve is one of the best I've ever heard in my 60 odd years of life.

Greetings from Canada. Drummer: Mike Shrieve. Peace, love and bellbottoms.
Dude, I just watched the long version and it is a must see! This was great, but the long version is unbelievable even more so!!!!!!!!!!!
Definitely gonna hit that one at some point! 🤘🏻

This legendary performance was bought to courtesy of Jerry Gacia. Thank you, Jerry, RIP.
They re-recorded it for the movie, because he was out of tune and tripping…

@@bradmannion6769 Haha 😂 What a wild ride!
Carlos Santana is classic and one of the best guitar players that ever lived. Rob Thomas just sang in a collaboration album that Santana released.
i want to recommend specialy for you :
*SANTANA - Toussaint L'overture / Evil Ways*
(9min 29sec) this are two continue songs
the first part is a INTRO and then Start with Evil Ways
and also
Santana - Oye Como Va (Audio)
and then
Santana - Oye Como Va - Tanglewood - 1970/08/18
i really Love Woodstock performances but i feel tanglewood is Even Better (underrated)
The first three Santana albums are chock full of iconic tunes...

Let's Go!!!
Cheers!
☮️💙💙💙🔥🔥🔥😎fell in love with Michal Schrieve after this!!
That drummer is Michael Shrieve who I believe was 19 or 20 years ols at that time.. just fantastic!!
Find their Tanglewood concert. It has an epic drum solo.
The drummer, Michael Shrieve, has always said he liked his 1970 Tanglewood performance over Woodstock. Definitely check it out 👍
There's nothing like an EPIC live performance, something that's lost by most these days. For a few others I'd recommend:
Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb from the Pulse concert
The Who - Young Man Blues from Isle of Wight
Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 form Tanglewood
CSNY - Southern Man from Filmore East
Chicago and Pink Floyd are on the channel! Absolutely amazing performances! 🔥

I have NEVER seen Santana before but WOW, it was just INCREDIBLE, in the 60's too!!!!
Several babies were born at Woodstock, and even more were conceived!
No record of any babies being born there
@cynergy4 there were at least 3 born there. But I'm too busy to argue about it. Go on with your life.
@jamessugg7061 do the research
You got your hands on a totally chopped edit of this otherwise amazing performance....find the unedited version....also the drummer is playing a standard small kit of the day....bass drum , snare, standing tom and mounted tom....yet the solo is spectacular
One of the greatest performances ever recorded. I was so excited when this movie came out so many stellar performances. Joe cocker, 10 years after, Hendrix. And so on. I was Santana a few times in the 70’s a wall of percussion.
Check out the movie, it's long but it gives you the whole vibe of the event.
You should watch the whole movie *Woodstock* made by a young *Martin Scorsese*
There is also a 2 or 4 record (vinyl) album of the music. A friend had the album back in 1970.
Martin Scorcese was a film editor not the director. Michael Wadleigh was the director.
🌸 I believe there's a longer version of this video that has Michael shreves absolute longer drum solo ...it's amazing

They haven't released the first album yet at this point!
Go find the Jimi Hendrix performance it will blow your mind F
This brand of music I would describe as bugaboo. PBS had a documentary on the history of buglu music and this definitely fits the bill. It's 😊good.

The Drummer's name is Michael Shrieve. He should be more highly regarded than he is as he is an amazing drummer!
There is a movie Woodstock. You should watch it.
Great day's, great music and good candy 😂 🤘🇧🇪
Steven after Woodstock and the Woodstock movie we talked about 2 bands. Alvin Lee and Ten Years After's I'm Going Home and Santana's Soul Sacrifice. Now specifically Michael Shrieve's drum solo.. What he did on the little jazz kit was amazing!!! If you want to see another of his OMG drum solos find his Soul Sacrifice solo on Santana's Soul Sacrifice at Tanglewood!!!!!!
As a drummer, you owe it to yourself to watch the extended version this same video. Extended drum solo !!!
This is the shorter version where the drum solo is cut short. Try and give the longer version a listen.
Here's the link to the full version that includes Michael Shrieve's full drum solo: ua-cam.com/video/sSp05euvRNU/v-deo.html

You need to listen to the extended drummer solo
on keys is Gregg Rollie
Find the long version!
Check out Santana Live at Tanglewood 1970, basically anything they did there, including a better rendition of this song.
I did watch Black Magic Woman from Tanglewood here on the channel! 🔥
They were not supposed to be on this set.. they were shifted to play At last minute...they were all tripping during this performance.. and it was considered one of the best sets at Woodstock
🌸 as a drummer yourself you're going to really appreciate young Michael shrieve.....
Dude is UNREAL!! 🔥🔥
Neal Schon from Journey played eith Santana and was on this stage with him I believe
I cant say anything that someone else here hasnt already said
The drummer was Mike Shrieve, a legitimate super drummer but missing the "rock star" persona. He was all about music. Fire and finesse. His solo here was cut way short. One story goes that he had to get a note from his parents to skip school so he could play Woodstock. Also Jose "Chepito" Areas on hand drums, a world-class timbalero.

Thanks for this one. The hippie movement was all about loving and accepting.
The Bongos in the song always makes me think of the line in what are Frank Zappa's songs. The line all I want to do is sit around and play my Bongos in the dirt.lol
Some of the most technical drumming you'll ever hear is in
Frank Zappa's
"The Black Page #1"
✌️🤠🐂
Tripping on LSD, after their performance Carlos said his guitar turned into a anaconda while he was playing.
Haha 🤣 So crazy!!
There are: Morocco's,(the shakers) Bongo's, Congo's,and the Kit. And maybe steel drums.
My spelling may not be right on some of them
The film version is the best. It's the one that is 9:39 long. They chopped the drum solo down on this one.,There is one that is 9:50 long, but I think the film one is the better one..Also, check them out at Tanglewood a year after this..The performance is even better (Imho), if you could believe that.
the majority of them including the band were all probably HIGH as a kite lol
I bet it was a wild ride!! 🤣😂
😂 Smoke um if ya got um 😊 !!!
This is the best performance from Woodstock. Enjoy it.

and this is the shortened version of this drum solo
I haven't indulged in the Psychedelic lifestyle since 1989, but every time I watch this, I wanna consume a hit or 3 lol.
Haha 🤣
I was 5 years old in 1969 so I was too young t o attend Woodstock. Every year now, I go to concerts at Bethel Woods Music Center which was built on the grounds of Woodstock at the top of the hill. I have to spend a few minutes every year looking down and imaging what it was like. Soul Sacrifice is one of the many songs that I hear in my head looking down. You can still feel the spirit of 1969. Every music lover needs to go there at least once.
The drum kit Michael Shrieve plays the solo on now resides here in Nashville at the Musicians Hall of Fame
They were high on LSD during the song, I've seen an interview of Carlos telling the story, he thought his guitar had snakes on it or was one. Micheal Shrieve is the drummer, they only got paid $750 for their set, it was pretty messed up.
That’s wild!! 😳
Aargh they cut his drum solo!
That’s what I keep hearing! 🤦🏻♂️
Michael Shrieve on dums
BEAST!!! 🔥🔥
Too bad you picked the shot video which edited out most of Michael Shrieve's drum solo. You gotta check that out - he's phenomenal.
Enjoy the whole concert, watch the documentary about Woodstock. The New York Thruway was closed by people trying to get there.
Wood stock had no organization and there were a lot of problems not enough food not enough toilets no way for medical personal to get in and it rained for a lot and was just a big mud pit. But it was the first of it's kind a guess a lot lessons learned
You cut out the 7-minute drum solo
That’s what I keep hearing! 🤷🏻♂️
The best of times free on stage ,, no fear and no phones.
man i hate when the reacters do the shortened edited versions.....
That seems to be the consensus! I had no idea because this video had so many more views! 🤷🏻♂️
This was their first big gig; from this performance they signed their first record deal 🤩🤩🤩
There is a better version of this performance that has Michael Shrive's drum solo, it's amazing!
Shoot me a link! I’d love to see it!
It's a shame that you, like everyone else who reacted to this, got the cut version. Whoever edited the film probably didn't do any drum solos. The whole recording is complete, only Michael Shrieve's solo was cut. It's a shame.
Santana was the only band at Woodstock that didn't have an album!! That changes over night after this performance!!🎶🎼🎵🎸🎹🥁🪇🎧🎤🎙 Michael Shrieve is the drummer...20 yrs old at the time!!🥁🥁🥁🥁
do you recoginize the keyboardist? you should. Greg rolle from Journey
That’s what a few other people were telling me! So cool! 😁
This is the screwed-up version. Whoever made this edit should have their mouse and keyboard taken away.
😂🤣😂
You have to watch the unedited version so you can see Michael Shreve’s full drum solo you only got to watch about 10% of the whole drum solo, and as a drummer yourself you are doing an injustice to yourself.
I’ll have to check it out! Thanks!
What makes this performance even more incredible is the fact that Carlos was tripping his ass off during their set. Percussion plays a big role in Santana's music, along with guitar of course. 🤙🤔
Vaguely heard parts of the same story. Thanks for filling in the details. Always amazes me how many great old musicians could play tripping better than most good straight.lol
Drummer's name is Michael Shree
Santana guitar player Neal Schon and keyboard player Greg Rolie left and formed Journey.
Oh wow! 🤯
God damn it sucks that reactors always pick the wrong version of this , with the drum solo chopped out
🤷🏻♂️
