Amen Break Documentary

This fascinating, brilliant 20-minute video narrates the history of the "Amen Break," a six-second drum sample from the b-side of a chart-topping single from 1969 by The Winstons. This sample was used extensively in early hip-hop and sample-based music, and became the basis for drum-and-bass and jungle music -- a six-second clip that spawned several entire subcultures. Nate Harrison's 2004 video is a meditation on the ownership of culture, the nature of art and creativity, and the history of a remarkable music clip.

Santana: Soul Sacrifice (Live at Woodstock 1969)

One of the most amazing performances from the Woodstock film. Santana's young Michael Shrieve pulls one of the most intense drum solos ever seemingly without effort.

Michael Shrieve is best-known as the drummer in an early lineup of Carlos Santana's band, Santana, and for his performance at the 1969 Woodstock festival, when he was just 20 years old (he turned 20 on July 6 of that year; he was the youngest musician to perform at the festival). He left the original Santana band to pursue solo projects.
