A righteous 1971 Santana performance from Germany’s Beat Club TV show, featuring an extremely youthful looking Neil Schon (later of Journey) who was probably all of 17-years-old when this was recorded. Schon’s parents let him drop out of high school to join the group. He famously turned down Eric Clapton’s offer to join Derek and the Dominos as Carlos Santana had asked him to join his band first. Santana III often saw Schon taking the lead guitar parts over the band’s leader.

Schon and Santana keyboardist Greg Rolie would both leave the group to form Journey the following year.
