Question
Where could I find Santana's complete performance at woodstock 69

Answer
  I am not a big Santana fan  and don't have a lot of their stuff here,  so I will try to do this from memory.
 
 I am not sure how much of their performance at Woodstock was recorded and how much of that made it to the Woodstock album.  I had always thought that their whole performance was on  it.
  But I know that on the  expanded versions of the first three Santana CDs there  are alternative versions of the songs,  and if I remember correctly either on the first or second one there is 3-4 songs from Woodstock.  
 I am not sure if Santana has a box set,  but if there is one  or there is ever one released it could have the Woodstock performance included.
 But,  that is not for certain, because the Woodstock performance was by the band Santana,  not the dude.  When the rest of the band bailed Carlos Santana kept using the name,  but the key members were gone.  So it is possible that Mr Santana would downplay the era of Santana the band, which was the first 3 albums.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
