yeah, i've seen interviews with him where he was saying he'd see a snake wrapping around him or coming out of his guitar or something-- but the whole band was fucking tremendous-- drums, keyboards, timbales, congas, etc.
comparing to hendrix in that show, hendrix is a better guitarist but his musicians are acolytes in the background, whereas santana is a collective clusterfuck that just blows everyone to pieces.

joan baez put me to sleep though ha ha.
i didn't dislike the protest songs, just too much vibrato and squealing.
but it was good that there were those people out there back then-- organizing, getting jailed, etc.
nowadays nobody gives a shit about much.
