What an incredible find! Love Michael! My parents saw the Tanglewood show and I’m forever jealous! I thank them for introducing me to Santana and to this incredible drummer!
The new age of drummers during 1970s Mr Micheal Shrieve, Mr Chancler, and Mr Lear were favorite Santana drummer heros, and what a beautiful interview ... Peace and Goodwill to all.
What a fascinating interview with such a talented musician and and inspirational human being! Thank you Michael. for sharing your awesome talents with the world!
So much more to Michael than the public persona, A heartfelt humble musician (Yes, we Drummers are musicians..) His clear honest perspective of himself and the world he fits into is a lesson everyone should apply to their lives. 'Live where you belong'. So glad to have found this and the real Michael Shrieve ... God bless he is an inspiration to so many.
Great interview ! I'm thrilled to learn that Michael was doing so much recording back in the Santana days, even on a cheap cassette player, if that's what he had. Now he mentions wanting to get these tapes "cleaned up" and archived to share with the public. That's a dream come true for me. What I'm most interested in is from Santana, during the years of 1972 and 1973, when they had the GREAT bassist Doug Rauch, laying down some nasty funk and incredible bass lines and fills, along with keyboardist Richard Kermode, laying down some great Salsa grooves. For me, that was the Santana band at their peak of creativity and awesomeness. I'd also like to hear any material from Michael's " Automatic Man" band, which I had the pleasure of seeing at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, sometime in the mid-70's, and I also have their promo picture from the Automat Recording Studio in SF. Michael Shrieve has always been on my top drummer list of all time. I hope someone can provide a link to these archived tapes when Michael gets them ready.
He's getting up there in age, if he hasn't done it in 60 years i highly doubt we will ever hear any of it now. A lot of these older musicians don't seem to be very knowledgable about modern recording tools like pro tools or even how to distribute their music in an online world.
At first glance I thought it was Mike Mill’s from REM.. Mike’s sporting grey hair same length as he wear’s similar glasses. What a guest I was 8 or 9 years old when Woodstock had this festival. My neighbors had the album and I enjoyed listening to it all. This was Three house’s down from my childhood home. I really enjoyed seeing this man on his kit. I think it was said he was tripping during the whole concert. He delivered an excellent performance and he was so young.
These guys get along so well it makes it so enjoyable to listen to. Both of their stories are so interesting and grounded. I’ve drummed for 40 years but Michael’s Woodstock solo just caught me now. I feel rewarded to have “met”him though this interview at 72 with his wisdom and diplomacy. Thank you for this.
15:52 mk very cool insight into how serious the everyday practice sessions of Santana were. and the 17:02 mk ""this is a like a Street Gang ...and the message/ weapon was music ""
Love the interview and Michael's story...very interesting. He will always be connected to Woodstock...couldn't think of a better way to go "solo"...wonderful start of an unfolding artistic talent. By the way the dummer for Alice Cooper was Glen Sobel....hope the link opens...m.th-cam.com/video/Y0OaNs1qDyw/w-d-xo.html...keep on drummin! Lookin forward to Drums of Passion 🥁☮️
Thank you for your comment.Yes, it becoming common knowledge now that all the great artists were hard workers,serious focused on their craft daily …not what the stereotype became ..
Mike is taking about how we all related in the 70s. You HAD to have a tough skin where ever you were. It just was the culture back then. I first saw it diminishing in the 90 when they started the “ political correctness” bs. Guess I survived okay just like him ☺️
Yes! Neil Peart was an icon and a definition of Canada rock drumming…he was also a great friend..He came as a surprise guest at our KoSA camp ..we played and did a nice talk ..all filmed..great conversations which i look forward to publishing soon
Aldo clearly doesn't know much about the rock genre. When he had Michael's successor in Santana, Graham Lear on, he knew a lot about Graham's playing with Gino Vanelli, but was completely unaware that Graham had played in Santana for 12 years.
What an absolutely beautiful discussion! Thank you both so much!
Great interview.
Michael Shrieve is a great drummer.
Novo Combo.
What an incredible find! Love Michael! My parents saw the Tanglewood show and I’m forever jealous! I thank them for introducing me to Santana and to this incredible drummer!
Love you Michael Shrieve. You are awesome. I love that you mentioned Ringo

How does a Canadian not think of Neil Peart when talking rock drummers?
Yes! Neil Peart was an icon and a definition of Canada rock drumming…he was also a great friend..He came as a surprise guest at our KoSA camp ..we played and did a nice talk ..all filmed..great conversations which i look forward to publishing soon
@@kosamusic That's great !
Understated is the fact that Neil wrote the lyrics for Rush!
