project BAM! 3

for the third exploration of project BAM! i want to share something i treasure close to my heart. the one and only live version of Santana's soul sacrifice performed during the 1969 woodstock. being raised by two full time rock stars, i grew up around classic rock and Santana was fed to me at the dinner table. however, when i first rented the documentary on woodstock and saw Santana play this live...i experienced a new level of music enchantment. theres Carlos Santana playing brilliant stuff that to this day i have not idea how he came up with it, Mickaël Shrieve cranking out a genius drum solo, you also have a great organ, sweet back up conga and shaker players, bass, the list goes on. in my opinion this live performance could not be any better. it just stands alone and anyone who knows drums or Santana will probably be familiar with this performance. i think ive watched Shrieve pound away with his sticks a hundred times and i still transcend just about everything with goosebumps when i watch it. but enough words, listen:

(warning: this video contains nudity (it is after all the documentary on woodstock))
