Of all the band's to play Woodstock, few got as significant a career boost as Santana did. Their incendiary performance was featured in the movie and helped propel sales of their debut album, which would be released on August 30, 1969, to #4 on the Billboard charts. Incredibly, Sanatna almost didn't get to perform at Woodstock. When Bill Graham negotiated to have the Grateful Dead at the festival, he insisted that 1 of 2 other bands that he managed be on the bill. The 2 bands in question were It's A Beautiful Day and Santana. After listening to recordings of both groups, Michael Laing, who had helped organize Woodstock, couldn't decide between them. So he flipped a coin. Santana won and the rest is history.
Like his fellow Woodstock alum Joe Cocker, Santana also played at the 25th anniversary concert. This soundboard recording captures that performance, on August 14, 1994, 30 years ago today.
