- Ok folks.....Here we have a VERY VERY( you have no idea) RARE video of one night that I, Jeff Vash, sat in on the B3 Hammond with #John Lee Hooker and the Coast to Coast Blues Band at The Stone on Broadway in San Francisco on March 30th 1985, performing the song "BOOGIE CHILLEN", and who comes walking out on stage to jam with us? None other than the infamous #Carlos Santana!!! The band at this time consisted of......Mike Osborn on guitar, Larry Hamilton on bass guitar and vocals, Tim Richards on drums, Roy Rogers on slide guitar, acoustic guitar, electric guitar and vocals!!!! This video was shot onstage by one of the house videographers, so it's only showing one side of the stage, and also done with VHS, so the video/audio quality isn't the best, but you can still feel the boogie!!!! And I would like to give special thanks to my friend Ron Combs for making this special night happen, AND for finding this video after looking for 27 years!!!!!!
Amazing to see Santana playing music other than his own.
Yes, I agree! And it was a totally impromptu jam…….nothing planned. He was friends with John Lee and would just show up here and there completely unannounced! One of the most underrated guitarists….
Thanks MUCH for stopping by, taking a look AND posting a comment as well!
It's 1:36AM right now, and I can't sleep. I got the blues! There's no use in me layin' down! Oh whoa whoa mmmmm. It feels so good to be this miserable. No one here but me and my cat chillen to the Hook. Tryin' to capture this blue moment in time. It grippin' me. Turnin' me inside out. John Lee performed this in 1985. Damn, I was 20 years old then; I'm 52 now. And he's been dead for almost 17 years now. But his blues still comforts me. His blues still calls to me over the cold, bleak, dark, and dangerous eternity. This past Friday, I bought an Epiphone Riviera. Why? So I could pick up where he left off. But I'm nothin' compared to him. Even his toenail clippings have more talent than me. But I can moan. I can cry. I can feel the blues. They course through my veins like a river of sadness. As if misery and depression was a real and tangible thing. Like a warm blanket with which to wrap myself in and beg for the bittersweet embrace of death to take away all my pain. Indeed, indeed! I'll never, no, I'll never get out if these blues alive! And why would I even want to?
what you write is sublime my friend, I accompany you although at the wrong time I hope you are as alive as those bluses
Wow what a jam
Wow! A night to remember for sure!!
So... imagine being me...
i was watching some only a spoonfull king bach vines that were turned into memes and auto play just kept on going...
i was having a good laugh sometimes because those memes were pretty creative.
and now autoplay brought me here.. honestly! i am not complaining! this is a jammer!
Many thanks, as this was one of those rare and epic jams for me!!! Never to be forgotten.....
This is great.
Thanks tons!!!
Yes, it WAS quite epic to say the least!!!👍🏼
Big, they light fire on stage.
Yes they do! And could light that fire anytime they wished! Very talented and blessed......... Thanks for commenting!
Whoa doggies....my goodness! As good as blues gets. Wish I would have been there.
Thanks for this!!!
Fantastico. Sei. Un. Moto
Sorry to inform you all, but Larry Hamilton is alive and well up here in Mendocino county!!!
LARRY!!!!!
Damn man! I’m simply blown out right here right now! Yes, one of the commenters here suggested that you had passed……which I found hard to swallow. But, another said that he had just jammed with you, which completely resolved my melancholy state!!! AWESOME to hear from you, and, as I will NEVER forget that night and the opportunity to play with some of the greatest Bluesman that have EVER existed!!!!
Again, much thanks…….!
Larry! Steve Freeman here, would love to reconnect w you- end of the sumertime blues!
Amazing! I love JLH and have lots of audio but no video! Just uploaded a 79 show. I have a recording of these guys with Santana from ‘88, Mill Valley CA that I’m uploading next.
This is amazing and I bet it’s a night you’ll never forget. :-) Awesome video!
Yes........JLH was super great, and had a heart of gold too! Not much bootleg live recordings out there, but there are a few that can be found. And you’re right........I’ll carry the memories of that evening........and other good times with the Hook and company to the grave!!!!! Thanks for commenting, and sorry for taking so long to respond!
@@Hardrawker1 jeff I am verY interested in these complete show, how I could have in the original copy
@@ivanlopez27
Thanks for your interest, but the original recordings were done on VHS tape. I took the rime to convert the tapes to digital so I could post them here, but these are the only "copies" of that excellent evening! This is the entire show though......!
@@Hardrawker1 THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWER, WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN TRADE FOR OTHER RARE CONCERTS BY CARLOS SANTANA AND DIFFERENT BANDS?
@@ivanlopez27
Thank you very much for the offer, but I'm pretty much just posting projects that I had/have a hand in! But you're welcome to use the videos that I have here to make a composite one of that show!
I was there that night with some friends standing at the side with Carlos just before he went up on stage
That's awesome! Haven't talked with anyone else who was actually there! Did you by chance get any pictures? This was the second night in a row with John Lee, and no one had a camera!
No we were standing off at the second set of standing tables as Carlos was slowly working his way up to the stage. He stopped at our table for a minute then you guys called him up and if you remember he entered from the front of the stage. I new JLH and got to sit in with at the Keystone PA and Keystone Berkeley with him. He was generous like that. I also got to play with Deacon off and on..like everyone for about 10 years.
I never took pic...just went to lots of shows.
I actually played the closing night at the Keystone PA...Kingpins Gaslighter Chris Isaak...I was in the Gaslighters
+Ron T How cool was that? I too knew John Lee........went to many gigs with him, and yes, he was a very generous guy! Ahhh, good times! What instrument/s do you play? And the chance that we've met are probably pretty high!
Guitar. I lived in Belmont when JLH lived in San Carlos. I meet his at the Lyons restaurant on El Camino
Lucky men
Legends🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
When music was real.
Love it.
Couldn’t agree with you more! Todays music doesn’t seem to have any soul……kinda hollow. But stuff from those days was dripping with it!!!
Thanks much for looking!!!
@@Hardrawker1 the Grateful Dead is a band who played from the soul.
I grew up in the 60s n 70s. I Remember seeing the Beatles and Rolling Stones on the Ed Sullivan Show. Many great bands came and went and left a ton of great music to listen to for the rest of our lives.
I worked as a Roadie, 8 yrs, for a local Bar Band here in Cleveland Ohio. Wild Horses was their name. They asked the Rolling Stones for permission to use the name. They recorded 4 albums of their own. They were also great friends with an entertainment production company: Belkin Productions; who arranged just about every concert that ever happened in the greater Cleveland Ohio area/region. I met many performers as Belkin Productions owned a huge place in the rural area about 40 miles east of Cleveland and would allow the band's to stay there instead of the cheesy hotels in the city. Was party heaven at that farm. I can't name all who I met, too many bands but I remember well.
I love my music.
Peace be with you my friend.

Thomas! You and I had the chance to experience a GOLDEN era in music! I too watched the first Beatles and Stones along with MANY others debut on the Ed Sullivan Show.....was AWESOME! There used to be a couple of places in SF, Winterland and the Fillmore, which had killer bands playing 2 or 3 nights a week. I would attend as many of those concerts as my $1.75 an hour job would permit! The band that I play in started in "72, although I'm the only original member now. But, we played all over California, supporting MANY a national act, and have been blessed with MANY a great experience/story!
Thanks again VERY much for the visit, AND for your love of music, as I too share/live that passion!!!
Fsntastic
The frenchies love that too !
Absolutely! Music is THE universal language! Much thanks for stopping by!!!
WWWWWWOOOOOO!!! YEAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!
Thanks Juan! I too feel exactly the same way!!!
Man, that was one fukken lucky crowd that night!!!
...and holy sheeyit that bass solo @ around the 8:00 point !!!
Yeppers! And NO one had ANY idea that would happen……the band included……which made it even cooler!!!
And Larry Hamilton COULD manhandle that bass guitar no doubt!
Thanks for looking!!!!

Larry Hamilton was my roommate, Sheri's roommate in '86 when he was w/ Randy Hansen, & then Colin James. Larry has passed away since then, but is often thought of, & will never be forgotten! I never got to meet him, but wish I had. Fly on Larry!
Yes,
Larry DID play with some of the greatest! He was a REALLY great guy! Before I did these sessions with JLH and CTC, Larry was the one that JLH instructed to “screen” me to make sure I could play “da boogie”! We jammed all afternoon in JLHs downstairs room, and Larry was as sincere and pleasant a person as they come…..and I will always remember him as such!
Thank you so much for watching/listening, AND for taking the time to comment too!!
Larry was my bass teacher for a year or so in Santa Cruz, early 90’s. He told me many stories of this band and others he was in. (Meeting Billy cox and Jaco) Best player Ive ever seen! Sorry to hear his passing RIP
Larry has NOT passed away ... I played with him yesterday ... He's actually doing good... We're playing a funk set next weekend at a benefit for our local radio station.
@@mortenjensen2682great news! Would love to reconnect w him- is he on social media?- Steve
¿Cuál es su problema? ¿El no haber figurado de forma protagonista? Escuché; Cuando no fluye de forma natural, la prudencia es mejor y aunque uno es parte del todo, lo que lo hace un regalo y un contemplador también tiene su encanto, ¿no sé lo que esperaban?
Hola, por posibilidad para difusión de estos datos que creo son valiosos... Muchas Gracias.
Ok amigos ... Aquí tenemos un video MUY MUY MUY (no tiene idea) RARO de una noche en la que yo, Jeff Vash, participé en el B3 Hammond con John Lee Hooker y la banda Coast to Coast Blues en The Stone en Broadway en San Francisco el 30 de marzo de 1985, interpretando la canción "BOOGIE CHILLEN", ¿y quién viene caminando al escenario para tocar con nosotros? Nada menos que el infame Carlos Santana !!! La banda en este momento consistía en ...... Mike Osborn en la guitarra, Larry Hamilton en el bajo y la voz, Tim Richards en la batería, Roy Rogers en la guitarra de diapositivas, guitarra acústica, guitarra eléctrica y la voz! Este video fue filmado en el escenario por uno de los videógrafos de la casa, por lo que solo muestra un lado del escenario, y también se hizo con VHS, por lo que la calidad de video / audio no es la mejor, ¡¡pero aún puedes sentir el boogie! ! Y me gustaría agradecer de manera especial a mi amigo Ron Combs por hacer que esta noche tan especial fuera realidad, ¡¡Y por encontrar este video después de haber estado buscando por 27 años!
Muchas Gracias para la traducción a Español!
what's your problem? The not having figured protagonally ?. I listened; when it does not flow naturally, prudence is better and although one is part of the whole, making it a present and a contemplator also has its charm, I do not know what they expected?
@@Hardrawker1 un gusto!! gracias a tí
Say what??????
digo que; Thank you for sharing this content ...
Shut up grand-father..Let Carlos play!
