|
Quote from Corry Arnold (http://rockprosopography101.blogspot.com/search/label/Santana): The date for this show comes from a precise memory by Sons Of Champlin road manager Charlie Kelly. This wasn’t exactly an audition, since Santana had played Fillmore West many times, but Shrieve had just joined and the band probably wanted to try out their chops. |
|
Quote from Bruno Ceriotti (http://thesanfranciscosound.blogspot.com/search/label/Santana): Supposedly Michael Shrieve’s first gig with the band at the Fillmore West. Michael remembers that the first time he played there, he got booed, and people were yelling “Where’s Doc?” (Livingston, their former drummer), but after he played a drum solo, he got a big ovation. |

|
Quote from James Bettencourt (June 2, 2010): My friend Jamie called Bill Graham (promoter and Fillmore owner), and asked for Santana to play. Bill asked how much the student body had as a budget, and Jamie told him we had $2,500.00. Bill laughed and said “no way”, Jamie said “thank you, we will get someone else”. Bill called back within about 10 minutes, and said “OK, you can have them and the three other groups for that price”! Keep in mind Santana’s first album was not yet out or just released at that time, and they were not a major player on the U.S. scene, except for the West Coast. Anyway, the school barely broke even money wise on the event, and after the concert a single wine bottle was found on the basketball gymnasiun floor where it was held. The Dean of the school said they would never do this again! A major scandal for the school! |

Note: Carlos Santana sees Jimi Hendrix for the first time. |

Quote from Carlos Santana (Straight Ahead June 1994): The first time I saw Jimi was at the Santa Clara Fairgrounds in San Jose. It was probably the most incredible concert I ever heard in my life. I have never heard him play better after that. The show was absolutely incredible. Jimi was at the peak of his art, at one moment he would get caught inside a proton or a neutron and the next minute he would throw you to the Milky Way. I've never been exposed to that drastic form of expression. Somebody actually recorded it that day. I listen to it and I'm still blown away. You can hear all these waves of spirits crying through his guitar. We were like - 'Oh my God! How can he do this?' It was scary, I had never heard anybody express electric music the way he did that day. It was incredible to be assaulted with all these screaming winds. He would really control that instrument like a jazz player or a blues player would. It was like controlling a demon and making it sing. |
|
Quote from Carlos Santana (UniVibes No 17 Feb 1995): I saw him at Santa Clara Fairgrounds in San Jose in '69 but I didn't get to talk to him then - I still didn't know him. I think that was the best concert that I ever heard him play. He had supreme confidence that day. There was nothing in his mind about business of chicks or anything that I could tell because he just came out like Michael Tyson, when Michael Tyson would knock guys [out] in 3 seconds. There's a certain 'stance'. That's what Miles Davis said: 'I can tell whether a person can play just by the way he stands, you know.' He had a certain stance, man. He was all over that Strat and had supreme confidence, that's all I can say. |

| June 10 Tue: Graduation Dance. High School Gym, Palo Alto, CA |
|
Quote from Corry Arnold (http://rockprosopography101.blogspot.com/2010/02/june-16-1967-cubberley-high-school.html): According to the June 5, 1969 Catamount, Cubberley High’s Newspaper, Cubberley and Gunn held a joint Graduation Dance at Frontier Village, featuring Cold Blood. The joint Grad Dance appears to be due to poor attendance, a very 60s phenomenon. This is worth noting, however, since it suggests that considerably fewer people saw Santana’s performance at Paly than have claimed to do so. Paly’s 1969 graduation had Santana, two months before Woodstock, but after they had begun recording their classic first album. This was the event in Paly’s history that no class could ever top. Paly had the oldest facility at the time, so its not surprising it was not widely used for public events, compared to the newer High Schools. |

Quote from Corry Arnold (http://rockprosopography101.blogspot.com/2010/10/sons-of-champlin-performance-list_29.html): The date has been approximated from the Santana timeline. Its not clear if the bill was for one or two nights. Based on the Santana timeline, the show (or shows) was somewhere between June 1 and June 14. Various eyewitnesses (including Charlie Kelly) remember a hot set by Santana, and then the Sons being shut down by the cops because of “suspicious activities”. However, Jim Burgett, who promoted the show, recalls few problems with the police and suspects that any band who was shut down would simply have been running overtime. |
