Santana brought the Latin Rock Fusion to Woodstock. They started at 2:00 pm on Saturday, the 16th. Although relatively unknown for the audience (having just played local gigs in the San Francisco area), Santana hit the nerve of the party crowd quite well. Their debut album Santana was released in the same month. 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”.
