I was at Woodstock 94 on the South stage. We asked the cranberries if we could use their drums so we could do a musical tribute to Jimi Hendrix with our friend Gordon games. Gordon has a brother reg. E. Games who was on MTV spoken word. The cranberry said no. We asked Michael shreve who was in the band zucchero Michael Steve says sure. So my friend Louie Appel proceeded to do a musical tribute to Jimi Hendrix. Thanks to Michael shreve, great guy!!!!!!
My favorite part of many Woodstock moments. I was in the Army then and had heard of this group 'Santana'. No big deal 'till the reel-to-reel tapes of the concert began showin' up at some o' the base camps in Nam. Santana all over the place. Years later when I saw the movie, I had realized that I miss'd an historic moment. Thanx for the interview.
He’s completely right: you can never recreate a magical moment. When you try to do that, you’re automatically thinking. Thinking is the enemy of flow. Flow is the very thing that created the magic in the first place.
I'm a guitar player/ teacher. Michael's drumming is every bit as inspiring as any guitar stuff I've seen. To the extent I took up drums as well (still wrestling with them) and changed all the cymbals to Istanbul- because that's what Michael uses
My band Eat a Peach opened for Santana in 2001at the Star Plaza theater. I was privileged to do sound check on the keyboards. Carlos the true gentleman and Christian was a man that was humble and great.
I saw a video of the Song of the Wind and Mike commented on how he layed down the drums track, basically Carlos and Neil did there guitar after the drums were recorded and Mike went in late at night and recorded his drum track because he wanted to play to the guitar track. One of the best Santana songs.
I wish people would ask Michael questions about his time with Santana from Caravansaai through to when he left after the Borboletta album and the players he was on stage with during the Lotus era.
for a tribute with Michael on drums this how Jingo should be played. Hell of lot better than how Santana deviated from. Jingo should be played with thunder as the original cut.
Woodstock was a high water mark for the counterculture and the release of the documentary was the beginning of the end of the the counterculture. Starting at around 1965, an alternative culture emerged, it included music, art, fashion, political ideology, an alternative lifestyle, all of it influenced by a psychoactive agency. Regardless of how you feel about drugs today, back then, a mythology was formed around them. Call it naïve or stupid or ignorant if you want but the zeitgeist was different and looking at it through the lens of today's milieu is a mistake. David Crosby once said, "we were right about the war, we were right about Nixon but we were wrong about drugs", he wasn't entirely on the mark with that statement. If you look at the music, art, fashion, the awareness about the environment and the freedom to be different, all of it was influenced by psychoactive substances. White powder drugs were not a part of any positive changes, their inclusion in the culture was a mistake. There certainly was some naïveté involved, cocaine was thought to be harmless but the eruption of creativity during that time couldn't have happened without a psychotropic medium to influence it. Prior to the release of the Woodstock documentary, most young people were unaware of the reality of what was going on within the counterculture. They believed what their parents, teachers, local news reports, etc. told them, which was mostly negative information about the "hippies". After the documentary came out, they realized that all of their authority figures were lying to them. What they saw was a large gathering of kids having fun, listening to great music and getting along in harsh conditions. After that, they started growing their hair, smoking pot and they started listening to music which, heretofore, they were unaware of. The problem with that was, it was superficial, they were unaware of the reasons for the social change, the counterculture was absorbed into something new, a fashion. Woodstock can never be repeated, efforts to replicate it were doomed to failure because the counterculture was an organic manifestation, an outgrowth of what came before it. The reason for its very existence as something *_counter_* to the mainstream had become lost and the gathering of all those who were part of the original event, bore little resemblance to those who were just following a fashion.

Gr8est drummer ever!!! SOUL SACRIFICE at Woodstock was freaking wicked!!!!
I wish people would ask Michael questions about his time with Santana from Caravansaai through to when he left after the Borboletta album and the players he was on stage with during the Lotus era.
The old saying goes …. If you can remember Woodstock you weren’t there. But your playing was fantastic
Woodstock was an awesome concert and thanks for viewing.
"... anyway, what was your question?" Not sure if it was the green micro dot or the window pane, maybe the alcohol; but I ask that a lot, too. 😁☮
I was there right in front of the stage in 69 I thought Santana had brought his neighborhood. There were so many on stage lol
Thanks for the view !
Absolutely blown by Michael especially he’s solo at wood stock,hopefully he tours Australia.

Que pena ver a este gran productor u compositor con un grupo mediocre es una falta de respeto a la historia de Rock
Thanks for the view!
Shrieve is right. You can't recreate those moments. This band playing Jingo sounds like a total mess.
