Santana and the Who at Tanglewood was so great in 1970. They just came off Woodstock and then took that magic on the road, and then, All over the World!!!
Anyone notice that Michael merely has a minimal garage-band basic drum set? And he sounds so incredible with just the basic of all gear. That is TALENT. Clear and simple. Talent.
Yes It is remarkable, but you have to consider , beyond his "amazing solo". The Harmony on this masterpiece is played by Michael and Chepito, and this is why this is recognized as pure Latin Rock .
+Green Infrastructure Buffalo NY Buffalo NY alot of us who grew up here in SF, noticed that years ago..I remember a bunch of guys who liked guys w/huge kits, and yet never really stayed in the pocket like Michael Shrieve..ever..to this day, one of the best drummers EVER..
Incredible performance from the Abraxas album. Santana was a full group project at this point . The only reason the band was called Santana was that Carlos Santana had the union dues. The entire band is incredible including the late Dave brown on the Fender. Also, Greg Rolie shows how to play a Hammond organ!1
I wish they were still around - EXACTLY like this night. This is historic and memorable and emotional and beyond incredible... all rolled in to one jam in one night by one band. This type of music and performance is LONG GONE.
Played this in my first garage band back in '69. Still to this day, it's one of the most adrenaline pumping songs to play. As soon as I start that opening bass line, the juice starts flowing and I'm time-tripping back to '69. What a rush!
Truly a diamond... Santana at his raw peak with his super band!!!!!!!!! Shrieve, bass the percussionists and everyone all in sync... AWESOME, A GEM!!!!
Loved the Woodstock video because nobody knew who Santana was and they were floored. But the sound quality indoors is so much better. Now this might be my favorite live video of all time.
Sweet Jesus - this is the best video I've ever seen of them (Woodstock was inferior). It really captures what it was ALL about with this version of band - monster rhythm section and SHAMELESS pursuit of the body-high that it produced. It's what snagged us into Santana's world and shot him to the 2013 Kennedy Honors award. BTW, Rolling Stone panned them with their first review. We didn't give a shit.
Holy cow!! The Woodstock version is a pretty amazing moment. But this is a way better gig. I've always thought of Shrieve's Woodstock solo as the only rock drum solo I could groove too. BUT EVEN THAT aspect of this performance top the Woodstock version. Not to take anything away from their Woodstock arrival, at all. This is just so fully badass. I hope "Smooth" era fans can feel how raw and wild a improvising live band Santana began as.
SANTANA NO NESESITABA DE TANTA MAJESTUOSIDAD DE ESCENARIOS NI DE TONELADAS DE EQUIPO COMO AHORA PRESUMEN MUCHAS BANDAS FAMOSAS DEL ROCK SIMPLEMENTE EL BATERISTA CON BOMBO TAROLA 1 TOM AEREO Y UNO DE PISO SONABA INCREIBLE EL TECLADISTA CON SU ORGANO Y SU LESLIE ERA FELIZ LAS PERCUSIONES DESDE CONGAS HASTA TIMBALES Y MARACAS Y POR SUPUESTO LA GUITARRA DEL MAESTRO SANTANA SUPER
Pasa el tiempo y la vida de las personas, pero no este tipo de música, es imperecedera. Creo que jamás habrá unos percusionistas tan "verdad" como el de Santana de esta época. Bravo Chepito, eres cojo-nudo.
Randall Maull Yes.... Randall..... silly me..... how could I think anything else..... you are so correct. Thanks for the gentle reminder. Much Love to you and your's :)
can't stop watchin this -superb, is there a better live gig than this from that era,Was 17 when they played this, best time of my life for music, will never be beaten.wow
+C.J. O'Dell you are so right..growing up w/this band, i thought all drum solos were like this..at other shows, people went to the head or somewhere, and i always wondered why, until i realized there was only 1 Michael Shrieve..most drummers, while very good, can't hold a candle to him..especially on his bare-bones kit..amazing still to this day..45 years later..
Carlos... amazing then. Still amazing today. 1970, all should take a lesson from this. Some have. Thanks! When I laid in a bed in a hospital full of amputees from the war (Vietnam), we heard about Woodstock. Many of us wished we could have been there!!
I think the dude with the maracas is actually pretty funny :) I bet if I was him, I would do nothing less being up there in such an awesome moment having the time of my life with those maracas ;) I also find the audience responding to him with energy and if you think about it, he did get people energized as well. Reminds me of the percussionist that played with Spyro Gyra that went on to become a big shot to this day... That guy was a clown on stage totally out of control.
I'm pretty sure that's vocalist Rico Reyes, the guy that sang lead on "Guajira" (off Santana III) and contributed a lot of other background vocals. He later went on to sing with Azteca, a Santana "offshoot" that also had Neal Schon, Lenny White (Return to Forever) among others.
Can you upload the whole show uncut. You have better quality than the Graham web sight. Please,please,please put up the rest. This is rare quality early Santana at their best.
There are VERY few bands that can "Rock the House" like this. The Allman Brothers could do it, as could Little Feat when Lowell George was still alive. This version is technically better than Woodstock, because the band isn't whacked on Acid, or playing through a questionable PA System. The entire ensemble is Right on the Money. As a result, the audience became driven temporarily insane...
Can't beat this original group of musicians in Santana.They sounded exceptional together

Green Infrastructure Buffalo NY Buffalo NY Most of the best do have a smaller set.
Thats all they need
The Man Is Simply A Beast
amazing drubber even with this kit! he was vary fast....

One of the best jams of the last century.
I would go so far as saying that this is one of the greatest live rock performances of all time.
Agree!
You have a strong argument for sure.
Not bad
Michael and Jose made such a great duo. Miss this style of music so bad.
Santana ...undesputed one of the greatest American bands.
estos si son artistas! no lo que pasan por la television ahora
1970!!!!! I was in the 9th grade. This is the version I seen in concert and really turned me on to this song!!!!!!
I wish they were still around - EXACTLY like this night.
This is historic and memorable and emotional and beyond incredible... all rolled in to one jam in one night by one band. This type of music and performance is LONG GONE.
I do too, it seems real music has died.
Love it so badly!!!!
They are still awesome

THIS it The Santana Band that EVERY1 knows & loves!! Shrive SHOWS that LESS is MORE 4 sure!!
Holy Molly!!!!!! Talk about musicianship!
Magnificos músicos. Son toda una banda. Es un deleite escucharlos. ¡Bien por la Santana Band!
Holy cow!!
The Woodstock version is a pretty amazing moment. But this is a way better gig.

+William Knell Couldn't have said it better..
Santana always allowed others in his band to show their talent !
If you were sitting down while watching this live, you have no soul!!!!!
Robert if you were standing up and not moving to this you had no soul. Probably not much of a pulse either.

gotta love this version, so awesome!!! Everything came together percussion, organ, guitar great sound
What kind of person gives this a thumbs down?
Funkamedic A IDIOT?
Probably deaf people.
David Brown was my inspiration to play bass.
Luther Reigns He was Really good...
A legend!
Me too.
This version is A LOT better than the one at Woodstock!
Hands Down!
For sure...But their haircuts were a lot better at woodstock!! LOL
The percussion is off the chart!!!!!O_O
I,m outta words and outta breath!
Ultimate live performance- nothing can match it today. First seen them at Diamond Head Festival Hawaii 1969.
Great performence of Michael Shrieve on drums
Even better than Woodstock! Michael Sherieve is amazing!
You can say that again!
Nope how can you compare it to Woodstock how ????!
Love!! Back when concerts didn't need light shows and dancers. Lol Real talent.
There are some good bands today but I listen to this and say WTF? This brings me to tears. Good ones...
Insanely great!!!!
Yesssss!
Pasa el tiempo y la vida de las personas, pero no este tipo de música, es imperecedera. Creo que jamás habrá unos percusionistas tan "verdad" como el de Santana de esta época. Bravo Chepito, eres cojo-nudo.
AWESOME! ! !
This is even on par if not better than the wood stock performance! HC!
Soo groovy and electric :) I LOVE IT :)
thanks for the good quality...
AMAZING!!!
incredible quality...thanks
GOD I LOVE MUSIC, ESPECIALLY FROM THE DAYS OF MY YOUTH THE 60's & 70's..... SO GLAD TO HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCED SUCH GREAT MUSIC ALL ALONG THE PATH
Actually, this toe-tapping number was released as the last track on their first album "Santana" released in August, 1969.
Debra, we are all still young ;)
Randall Maull Yes.... Randall..... silly me..... how could I think anything else..... you are so correct. Thanks for the gentle reminder. Much Love to you and your's :)
Michael Shrieve was electric,impossible to stay stopped with this sound!
Magnificos Chepito Areas y Michael Carabello me encanta verlos como la rompen con sus manos excelentes musicos.
theres nothing better in this world than shrieve's solo right as it ends leading up to the main melody
can't stop watchin this -superb, is there a better live gig than this from that era,Was 17 when they played this, best time of my life for music, will never be beaten.wow
I agree ! I waz 45 when they played this AMAZING Looncry
OH MY GOD, THESE AUDIENCE WAS SO PRIVILEGE........HISTORICAL, EPIC .....
Knowing the iconic Woodstock story, this is what can happen when everyone's head is in the game. Many younger people don't understand.
Excelente Baterista! Michael Shrieve! :D
what a superb kit master
Now This Is A Sound Garden
WOW & MEGA WOW HE WAS THE BEST, I CAN WATCH THIS VID A MILLION TIMES ♥
soul sacrifice is the best & top record at all created music of santana
Santana Band so powerful during these times it's a wonder the stage didn't explode along with the audience's heads. 👍🙏👍🙏
Michael Shrieve on drums - YES!!!!!
Carlos Santana. One of the greatest rock guitarists of all time. And Michael Shrieve, the greatest drummer.
EPIC
Awsome Creshendo!
4:16. Get ready for 2 minutes and 40 seconds (I know, I counted) of the most awesome drum solo you'll ever hear.
+C.J. O'Dell you are so right..growing up w/this band, i thought all drum solos were like this..at other shows, people went to the head or somewhere, and i always wondered why, until i realized there was only 1 Michael Shrieve..most drummers, while very good, can't hold a candle to him..especially on his bare-bones kit..amazing still to this day..45 years later..
Pure talent
Michael Shrieve...the best Santana - Drummer!!
Walfredo Reyes tambien tiene lo suyo..
Formidable
Carlos... amazing then. Still amazing today. 1970, all should take a lesson from this. Some have. Thanks! When I laid in a bed in a hospital full of amputees from the war (Vietnam), we heard about Woodstock. Many of us wished we could have been there!!
That is one BADD performance. Wow!!!
Incredible drumming. This could be considered by some to be even better than the performance at Woodstock, which was marred by microphone feedback.
From the ones I talked to in my taxi, like Greg Rolie,it was a sweat session
MATADORES, all of them, including the roadie, what an incredible band. The guy with the maracas, that would've been me, man, gladly.
Me too!!
great find on valentines day so im sending this one as they cook some numbers on those congas shieve needs a dimension all to himself
We use to jam to this in the 70s

Any chance you have the same qualityTull show uncut from tanglewood with no counter? All of the ones I have found on here arn't to good sound wise.
This 13 minute live version makes the 6 and a half minute long studio version look positively tame.
Buenos dias Chicago y Monterrey prude d j 4_17_2023 feliz dia para todos
Weed Time,Love it.
Can you upload the whole show uncut. You have better quality than the Graham web sight. Please,please,please put up the rest. This is rare quality early Santana at their best.
set the time machine for Aug. 18, 1970
Good Stuff! ;D
BjavaBbotBme

I'm IN TRANCE🤯🤯🤯 STUPENDO !😨😯🤓🤯 MATADORES, SI!👍
Chepito Areas ripping the QUINTO con sabor...
nice trip santana.
quien es el tipo de las maracas ? uno de los mejores instrumentales qué he escuchado ¡¡
Who is the cat with the maracas? He’s having the time of his life.

As was I, just watching it on You Tube!
+Terry Corcoran very well said..
is that Neal Schon w/ the maracas?
why santana turned his back to the camera? fuck, I wanna see he playing!
que cosa emocionante
This was just b4 Woodstock
The Who Also played this gig
sooo fucking good!!!
santana was a just a blues player until Chepito introduce AFRICA into the set...
Who is the guy on the maracas?
SU HERMANO DE CARLOS SANTANA ES EL DE LAS MARACAS CREO SE LLAMA JORGE SANTANA Y TAMBIEN TOCA GUITARRA
Wow!!!!! They fucked this up to the extreme!!!!! Goot GawD. Natural Kick ass!!!!!!!!!!!
