Have you ever heard Carlos Santana talk about what was going on with him during their Woodstock set? According to Carlos they were moved up in the set order and sent out on stage just as he was "peaking" on the acid he had dropped. He talked about his SG feeling like it was made out of rubber and that the best he could do was try to stay on track with the rest of the band.
I'm not so sure I believe it...it's a great story, maybe too great a story. And in my experience, I have a little trouble believing he could have played so remarkably and been as wasted as he has tried to suggest.
Anyway...that performance was, and still is, an amazing thing to watch and it's another one that gives me the shivers every time I see it, all these years later.
