I have always liked Carlos Santana. I missed Woodstock and a lot of the Fillmore West/Bill Graham era. I saw the Dead there in 1970 and it closed shortly after. Vietnam...what can I say.

Bill Graham was the guy who gave Carlos his first real shot at becoming well known. Woodstock was what put Santana over the top.

The music of the mid to late sixties was the only connection we had with anything outside of Vietnam. "back in the world" an expression used by troops. We had a connection with music that is almost impossible to describe.

“Well…” Saint Peter, hesitated, “God’s got this girlfriend who thinks she can sing…”
