So my wife is watching Dancing With the Stars the other night and much to my surprise out comes old Carlos Santana. He rocked the house.

It was wonderful to see/hear one of the all time greatest electric guitar gods still tearing the strings off.

All those of you who don't like the 60s, please take note: Santana performed at Woodstock.

From an interview he gave it sounded like he was still able to play with the broken bone, but it hurt, and he stopped doing concerts for a year. After the surgery the pain went away, and he was back to his shredding Latin music self. All of this happened 3-4 years ago.

Bikewer Interfector Viris Spurii I love Slinging.org! Posts: 1408 Gender:	Re: Santana Reply #6 - Sep 26^th, 2010, 10:55am Carlos always put more emotion into each note than half-a-dozen other pickers combined. His solo pieces, Europa and Samba Pa Ti, are outstanding. Also, unknown to many rock fans, Carlos played extensively with various jazz artists.

The version of Soul Sacrifice he did at Woodstock has stood as one of the most scorching electric guitar performances ever. Woodstock was the first time many of us ever heard of Santana. He's been rockin' us through five decades now.

He was at the Bethel Woods performing Arts center on the site of the original concert. Great performance.
