One of the most easily recognizable guitarists on the planet. Happy birthday legend

huge THANKS to the late Bill Graham who not only found Santana, he managed the band and put them on the map. Woodstock promoter Michael Lang was having a hard time planning the 3-day-long event and reached out to Graham asking for help. Graham agreed to help ONLY if Lang put Sanatana on the list of performers.
Sanatana was expected to play late Saturday around midnight. In the early afternoon, at around 2:00 pm, the band was suddenly rushed on stage, and told it was now or never. They performed a 45-minute set of eight songs, of which “Soul Sacrifice” — near the end of their set and including a famous drum solo by Michael Shrieve — was one of the big hits of the festival.
And now you know the rest of the story.

One of my all time favorite guitarists from the 60's-70's.
A lot of snob guitarists/musicians like to dismiss Carlos' playing as being too repetitive but he's among the top 20 influential guitarists of the past 60 years, maybe top 10.
Happy birthday Mr Santana.

we'll leave out the part where he was tripping his arse off during the performance as he wasn't suppose to go on for a few hours...

He must have been quite young when he played Woodstock!
Great show we saw at the Gammage Auditorium on the Arizona State campus back in late 80's. Todd Rundgren warmed up.

Fun Fact: The editor for The French Connection edited the famous car chase sequence to Santana's "Oye Como Va."

Santana is fantastic. Greg Rolie was a great a huge part of his success.

I still have his first album and it's still one of my favorites.

First guitarist I was exposed to. Sometime around 1973 or so. I was 4. Only because Santana was the group's name as well
Didn't know who Jimmy Page, Hendrix or David Gilmour but my mom being a pot smoker back in the day, I knew who their bands were at that time.

I was watching an old clip from some festival back in like '82 and had no idea that a white dude was the lead singer. I always assumed it was Santana singing.

Saw Santana around 1979-80 in New Orleans. Carlos had the fastest fingers of any guitarist that I ever saw. And Soul Sacrifice from Woodstock just might be the greatest live performance captured on film of any one song.

Santana the band has had a few lead singers. One of the more popular ones was Alex Ligertwood who sang Winning and Hold On. He actually just died a few months ago.
