Santana - 1990-08-26 - Tinley Park, IL (FM) 

The links between Santana and Jerry Garcia/the Grateful Dead go back to the 1960s, when both bands emerged from the San Francisco music scene. In fact, Carlo has said that seeing the Dead pull up in a limousine to the restaurant where he was washing dishers inspired him to pursue his musical dreams.  Moreover, some sources claim that once Santana macde that decison, Garcia helped mentor him.  In addition, the 2 bands would often share the bill together, such as at a New Year’s Eve 1968 show at Winterland or a jam session along with the Jefferson Airplane in February 1970 at the Family Dog. Both bands, of course, appeared at Woodstock in 1969. In the late 1980s and early 1990s. Santana served as the Dead’s lead in band for numerous shows. On several occasions, Carlos joined the Dead on stage for a few numbers. Bill Graham would play a major role in promoting shows by both Santana and The Grateful Dead throughout both bands’ long storied careers. It's no surprise then that both Santana and The Dead played at the concert in Graham’s honor in November 1991 after the fabled promoters tragic death.
