View More By Santana Our ReviewSantana’s 45-minute performance at the Woodstock Festival served as the band’s introduction and breakthrough to a mass audience. The group was added at the last moment by their manager, San Francisco music promoter Bill Graham, who insisted on their inclusion in return for helping manage the festival. The band’s debut album had yet to be released, so audiences were truly virgin ears, as they laid eyes on a band that would go on to become one of the following decade’s brighter stars. Their eventual hit single, “Evil Ways,” is the one previously unreleased track from their performance. Along other album cuts, including the landmark 11-minute performance of “Soul Sacrifice,” and Baba Olatunji’s “Jingo,” “Savor” and “Persuasion,” as well as non-debut-album jams such as the stomping blues of “Shades of Time” and “Fried Neck Bones and Some Home Fries,” their moments on the Woodstock stage provided the group with the perfect forum for their jazzy, Latin-tinged, often instrumental, rock ‘n’ roll — and introduced a generation to a legendary guitarist in Carlos Santana..

(4 stars) The sound quality is superb on the live concert CD and Santana and his band are cooking right along on every track. I do not think rock fans could ask for more with this set, I have listened several times now and Legacy did a nice job remastering the music and presenting it as if were recorded recently. Carlos shows why he ascended to the top so quickly after this gig, peeling off some blistering licks throughout the set as his red hot band BiographyFormed: 1966 in San Francisco, CAGenre: Rock Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s Santana is the primary exponent of Latin-tinged rock, particularly due to its combination of Latin percussion (congas, timbales, etc.) with bandleader Carlos Santana's distinctive, high-pitched lead guitar playing. The group was the last major act to emerge from the psychedelic San Francisco music scene of the 1960s and it enjoyed massive success at the end of the decade and into the early '70s. The musical direction then changed to a more contemplative and jazzy style as the band's early personnel...
