“Soul Sacrifice”

Rock promoter Bill Graham brought the unknown band Santana from San Francisco to perform at Woodstock. Their performance was absolutely electrifying and landed them a record deal. Turned out Carlos Santana was tripping his ass off at the time. He indulged in some psychedelics backstage, not knowing the band would perform much sooner than he was told. Santana thought (in front of 500,000 people) his guitar was turning into a snake. Yikes. This track from their first album was the centerpiece of that show.
