Santana and his Band deliver 110% at Woodstock

Given an opportunity in the final listing at the legendary 1969 Woodstock festival, Carlos Santana and his band went for it in legendary style. I saw the film (Warner Brothers) of the event a few months later on its release in a big cinema in central London and, like millions of others, was staggered by the virtuosity, flare and energy from the, then, in the UK, unknowns.

Forty years later, Carlos Santana is still performing, barely ever pausing since he emerged as a true guitar master.

Awesome player and musician - his heart and soul are in the tone. Only a special few can do that.
