Until
the early 2000's it appeared that no one had recorded this very energetic and
enjoyable show, however, thanks to 16 year old taper Bob C , who lugged his
reel to reel around the whole weekend , we eventually heard a tape of this set.
This was the first time this particular tape had been made available however,
in the time since we received it other entities obtained copies and have bit
torrented it widely, so it is now fairly easy to pick up - its also been included
in Freddie Bannister's boxed sets.
The quality is not particularly good, as the wind blew the sound around and
there are some distortions, but it is listenable and at least is a record of
the performance.
In addition to the audio of the set, theres also about 15 seconds of 8mm film of the band onstage, a few stills of which we include here . As you can see its pretty marginal quality, but its the only film we have at present, although the black and white stills we have below are taken from the screen footage that was filmed by Gentle Ghost and Paradise Films.
Rico Daniels , one of the bikers present at the festival, reported this incident .....
"At the end of the Santana set one of the band threw one of those scrapy gourd percussion instuments out into the crowd. There was a seated guy out in the audience leaning forward shaking his head and really out of it. The thing sailed thru the air and really smacked him on the head. He must have thought he was having a bright idea."
