Carlos Santana is returning this weekend to the grounds where the famous Woodstock Festival took place so many years ago. The 1969 Woodstock Festival has been revered as the defining event for baby boomers. It was this moment that defined the generation and it was then that they came together to party, protest, and rebel.
Santana will perform in a concert at a new arts pavilion just yards from the original stage where his band performed "Soul Sacrifice" during the "three days of peace and music" that helped define the end of the 1960s. "Santana is one of the artists who embody the spirit of the festival," said Shannon McSweeney, a spokeswoman for the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.
It's been a big week for Santana. The musician and philanthropist proposed to drummer Cindy Blackman onstage during a concert in Tinley Park, Ill.
