Last week, Tedeschi Trucks Band brought their riveting 12-piece to Bethel Woods Center for the Arts as part of their Wheels of Soul tour. One of the night’s many highlights, including sit-ins from Luther Dickinson, Cody Dickinson, and David Hidalgo, featured an honorary tribute to Carlos Santana. Being that it was the guitarist’s birthday, and the legendary history that took place at the Woodstock site, the band made an exciting debut performance of “Soul Sacrifice.”

“Soul Sacrifice” is a particularly notable highlight from the 1969 Woodstock festival, is the final track on Santana’s 1969 debut album, and is furthermore included on several live and compilation albums. The time and place had a lot to do with the song choice for TTB, and it’s interesting to see Derek Trucks‘ guitar passages compared to the original strays of Carlos Santana.
