Carlos Santana was called to the stage earlier than he was thought he was scheduled to play.

He later admitted that he was high on LSD at the time and feared he would not get through the set. He prayed to God that he would never do LSD again if he could just make it through the last song..

Well, he did not “just make it through”… Watch for yourself as Santana performs this amazing, near-perfect and legendary performance of Soul Sacrifice.

He is a Grammy Award-winning rock musician and a superb guitarist. Santana became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a blend of rock, salsa and jazz fusion. The band’s sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar set against Latin percussion.

Carlos experienced a tremendous resurgence of popularity and acclaim in the last 10 years. Rolling Stone magazine named Santana #15 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2003.

Happy Birthday Carlos!

I downloaded all of them and rotate them as background images on my computer. Just call me a six-string geek!
