6. Was The Musical Highlight Of The Movie For Me

In a battle of the bands, we used the Soul Sacrifice ending for our last song.
We did She's Not There by the Zombies. But, since Santana covered it, we did a Santana ending. And, this ending is epic. So, we just had to.

7. Incredible ... and they were not very well known in 1969. They were paid $2,500.

... Graham arranged for Santana to tour the Midwest as openers for Crosby, Stills and Nash, which expanded the group's profile outside the West Coast.[20] Around this time, Graham had been asked to help organise the upcoming Woodstock Festival, agreed to promote it on the condition that Santana would be added to the bill. Graham persisted, and the band were assigned a 45-minute set in the afternoon of August 16, the second day, for $2,500.[21] The performance launched the group to international fame, and Santana, released on August 30, peaked at No. 4 on the US Billboard 200. ... Graham had Santana perform on The Ed Sullivan Show, further increasing the group's nationwide exposure.[20]
