Santana: Soul Sacrifice, Woodstock 1969
Over Easter my nephew showed me his new Guitar Hero game. One of the songs that is included is Carlos Santana’s “Black Magic Woman.” Looking around the Tube, I found this clip, from the Woodstock movie, of Santana playing “Soul Sacrifice.” In 1969, their first album had yet to be released and Santana was a completely unknown band, outside of San Francisco. Bill Graham, rock and roll promoter and operator of the Fillmore Auditorium, got them a place at Woodstock.
Contrary to rumors that have been circulating, I was not at Woodstock. My mother wouldn’t let me go.

WOW. What a great find! Thanks. i watched it all the way through. What ever happened to real talent? These guys were (are) musical geniuses.
There is plenty of real talent out there yet, Justin. It’s just not “commercial.”
when i heard this song the first time in 1968 i fell in love with santana and have been a follower ever since. seen him 3 times since in concert. he’s still the best
