Santana (band) - 2013-Present: Reunion of Classic Lineup

2013-Present: Reunion of Classic Lineup

On February 2nd, 2013 Carlos Santana confirmed that he would reunite his classic lineup, most of whom played Woodstock with him in 1969. Santana stated that he's reuniting the group with the intention of recording new music. Confirmed for the reunion are Neal Schon, who was in the band in the early '70 s where he traded lead guitar work with Santana before leaving with founding Santana singer-organist Greg Rolie in 1973 to form Journey; drummer Mike Shrieve, whose solo in the "Woodstock" film remains the stuff of legend; and percussionist Mike Carabello. Santana said of Rolie, who played with Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band the last two years, "I'm pretty sure Greg's going to do it." Last year, Rolie told Radio.com, "it's (the reunion) just a matter of putting it together and going and doing it. I would do it. I think it's a great idea. People would love it. It could be great!"
