[edit] Details

Their debut album Santana was released in the same month. The band had just played local gigs in the San Francisco area so they were relatively unknown. Their set was powerful and magical at the same time. Santana used to have a massive percussion section at that time and drummer Michael Shrieve added his personal note, especially during the drum solo of "Soul Sacrifice".

[edit] Miscellaneous

Legendary concert promoter Bill Graham was currently their manager^[1]. He brought Santana to Woodstock and can be seen in the movie, too.

[edit] Availability

The re-issue of Santana's debut album as Sony's Legacy Edition has the almost complete performance in superb quality. Santana (The Woodstock Experience) additionally contains the missing song "Evil Ways" which completes the band's entire Woodstock performance.
