Carlos Santana's career-launching performance at the 1969 Woodstock festival almost didn't happen because he had a little too much fun before taking the stage. The guitarist, 75, recently revealed that Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia offered him hallucinogens right before he took the stage on the second day of the festival. "It was a real test, and the test was, 'You are higher than an astronaut's butt right now with whatever Jerry Garcia shared with me,'" Santana told People magazine.
"When I came out onstage, I was like, 'Oh my God, am I going to be able to play? I can't even touch my nose.'" In 1969, Santana and his band had yet to release their debut album when Woodstock promoter Bill Graham helped get them on the festival lineup. Santana told the outlet he took Garcia's "medicine," which the guitarist said was most likely peyote, mescaline, ayahuasca or mushrooms. After taking the drugs, Santana said he started hallucinating and seeing colors.
He had to "look to a higher power" to return to focus to make it on the stage. "It was like being inside a kaleidoscope," Santana said. "And then somebody told me, 'Trust in God.
Just ask him to keep you in time and in tune.' So I said, 'God, I really believe in you. If you help me right now, I won't poo my pants in front of everybody.’ Next thing I knew, we hit the notes and the people went, 'Wooo!'" Even being under the influence of drugs, Santana remembers his favorite set from the festival, calling Sly Stone the "absolute best," with Jimi Hendrix coming in as a close second and his band in third. "Anybody else had to fight for No.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic “Carlos” has one of the best openings I’ve ever seen — or heard — in a music documentary. We hear Carlos Santana, waxing philosophical and wise (as he’s prone to do). Intercut with his words, at throbbing intervals of about 20 seconds (and at top volume), are the iconic organ-and-bass notes — BOM BOM!…BOM BOM! — that open “Oye Como Va,” the 1971 hit by Santana. I’ll confess that “Oye Como Va” is one of those classic-rock radio staples I feel like I’ve heard more times in my life than I ever need to. (Sort of like “Moondance” and “Tempted” and “Won’t Get Fooled Again.”) Yet “Carlos,” instead of assaulting you with the song, severs those four notes from it (BOM BOM!…BOM BOM!) and blows them up into a piece of pop art, like a Warhol sound painting. It asks us to hear the magic of what Carlos Santana did by reveling in the sonic texture, the Latin-gone-psychedelic moxie of those notes.

Tribeca Film Festival, focuses more on Santana’s biographical details recounted previously in his 2014 memoir, “The Universal Tone,” than his illustrious career. Of course, music is inseparable from the life of a Rock & Roll Hall of Famer born into a musical family, but the documentary is more about wrestling with success, spirituality, addiction and childhood trauma from sexual abuse.Filmmaker Rudy Valdez unfurls a chronological narrative, from Santana’s formative years in Tijuana, Mexico, to his triumphant 1999 “Supernatural” album, employing archives of photos, concert footage, talk-show appearances, home videos and a few newly conducted interviews, including a roundtable of Santana’s immediate family members. But amid the narrative progression Valdez has occasionally spliced in materials from earlier time periods as flashbacks, a poignant representation of memories that have haunted the guitarist throughout his 75 years.Santana’s parents cast a long shadow over him.
Samba Pa Ti‘ or ‘Europa‘ — the ballads,” Santana, 75, told The Post from his home in Hawaii. “We made an impact on the world as far as facilitating a vibration that makes people feel spiritual and sexually aroused at the same time.” The dad of three — who may or may not have been listening to his favorite artists Marvin Gaye, John Coltrane, Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Nina Simone and Tina Turner when his own children were conceived — said his sensual sound unites him with fans across continents.“Because people grew up listening to this music in their living rooms, people made love with them and so somehow we became like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, part of an institution,” he said.“I could go anywhere in the world, Ireland, Japan or Africa, and I’m not a tourist, I’m part of the family.”The native of Autlan, Mexico, whose father was a violinist, started as a street musician, and quickly realized his talent would one day become his profession.“My father would enter me into contests and I would always win,” he said.
