I enjoyed the keyboard and guitar solos.

Michael, I went through all of the React Request videos and not a single Santana video could I find that you reacted to. This one is from August 16, 1969 - at Woodstock. Santana at the time were not well known and got on the bill thanks to insistence of the legendary promoter, Bill Graham. They had played many shows at his Fillmore West venue in San Francisco and Graham was eager to help them.
This video features a very early edition of the group with Gregg Rolie on organ, Michael Shrieve on drums who is only 19 at the time, Carlos himself was only 22 at the time. During this performance, Carlos played his Gibson SG through a borrowed solid-state amplifier. Their first album 'Santana' was released only a week later and went #4 by November of 1969 and spent two years on the Billboard charts. This is an energetic and exciting performance and I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. Thank you!

I've loved this song for years now. The album version is so hypnotic and beautiful in it's simplicity, with it's repeated chord progression and clever layering. There are so many different arrangements of this song online as Matthew and the band never seem to play the same version twice. I think this version has the most guitar so thought I'd share it with the community. Enjoy!
Music starts at around 1.11

Hey Mikey ! New subscriber but have religiously watched your videos ever since you watched the Danny Carey drum video and I could easily tell you werenโt another โYouTube reaction dudeโ . Because of you showing all these great unknown or lesser known artists and having a pure appreciation for every aspect of the music first heard this cover a long time ago and since itโs always been my favorite .. I just canโt thank you enough man truly!
Keep up the great work sir !
