In his book "Great Rock Drummers of the Sixties," author Bob Cianci called Shrieve's drum solo "electrifying," writing that the performance showcased "incredible chops" for a drummer as young as Shrieve was at the time.
Shrieve remained with Santana through the band's first seven albums, including Santana, Abraxas, Santana III, Caravanserai, Welcome and Borboletta. Along the way, he helped steer the band's increasingly adventurous sound, co-writing four tracks on Caravanserai before leaving in the mid-1970s to pursue jazz fusion, electronic music and a wide range of collaborations.
"The musical highlight of the original Woodstock concert in 1969 may well be Santana's 10-minute performance of 'Soul Sacrifice,'" wrote Rolling Stone at the time. "Drummer Michael Shrieve holds the whole thing together, and Santana was never quite the same after he left in 1974."
"Nothing prepares you for the length of time, the duration of time where people still derive joy from it," said Shrieve.
"I'm glad that I could do something that people enjoyed and still enjoy," he said.
"I could show you a clip from another festival a year later where my drum solo is much better, the band is playing much better … But what gets me is how moved people are still by that performance."
