hi everyone,

What do you know about Santana drummer Michael Shrieve's affiliations with the Stones?

I know he played percussions on Dance Little Sister, Emotional Rescue, She's So Cold -- and
undoubtedly more.

Makes me wish for the music version of IMDB again

Is he pals with any of them in particular, or what, if anything, is the connection?

Not that I think there's anything fascinating or mysterious...just saw his name listed as personnel on
Emotional Rescue, and started idly wondering...

thanks

I know he's in Gimme Shelter standing with Garcia & Lesh during the famous "Angels is beatin' on musicians?" scene, looking completely baked and about 13 years old.

That's all I got.

I'd love to know more details, though. Just watched him again this weekend doing "Soul Sacrifice" from Woodstock. Fantastic performance from everyone, Shrieve especially!

You mean "Dance (Part One)" and not "Dance, Little Sister." Shrieve plays on EMOTIONAL RESCUE while Santana percussionist Michael Carabello overdubbed percussion on TATTOO YOU in 1981. Shrieve came back to play drums on "Lonely at the Top" (an EMOTIONAL RESCUE outtake) when Jagger reworked the song for SHE'S THE BOSS in 1984.

Michael is a great drummer, and did a very good job on ER and She's The Boss, imo.

I like him on ER - have never really heard She's The Boss, honestly. Wonder whether he's more aligned
with Mick than Keith...

Thanks - yeah, that famous Gimme Shelter scene I will go back and watch him on Woodstock!

Just found this Conversation with Michael Shrieve

"Michael, can you talk about your work and relationship with the Rolling Stones? You
reportedly did some jamming with the Stones in the Bahamas and then played on “Emotional
Rescue,” “Tattoo You” and a Mick Jagger solo album. Did you first meet the Stones when
Santana shared the bill with them at Altamont? What percussion instruments did you play
on the Stones’ albums, with Charlie Watts playing traps?

"Mick Jagger used to come to Santana’s concerts in London and was a fan of the band, so
that’s where I first met him. I went to his wedding to Bianca in the south of France and
did some playing at the party after the wedding. When I moved to New York we became
friends and used to hang out and listen to music together. We went to see Jack DeJohnette
together and I took Mick to The Corso to hear Latin music and watch the dancers.

"I couldn’t believe he’d never been there, and he loved it, as you can imagine. The Stones
were working with engineer Chris Kimsey in the studio, who I’d met and worked with on
the ‘Automatic Man” record in London, so basically I would go down to the studio
and hang out with them. Every once in a while there needed to be some percussion
on a tune, and I was there and just did it. It was just small stuff like tambourine,
cowbell or maybe some timbales. I played on the “Emotional Rescue” record and “Tattoo
You” and I played drums on Mick’s first solo album, which was recorded at Compass
Point in Nassau. Nobody plays drums on a Rolling Stones record except for Charlie
Watts! I have a great deal of respect for Mick Jagger. The guy works his tail off, is
extremely professional and a really smart guy. It was a pleasure to work with him."

Ok----so there we have it - haha!

He played on Woodstock for Santana the same year. Then he was 17

To be clear: I didn't say that, Michael Shrieve says that in the interview I posted.

He meant besides Jimmy Miller, Anton Fig, Steve Jordan and Ronnie Wood, of course

That the guy with the curlie long hair? ..Man. I never heard a greater drumsolo then the one he did with santana at woodstock. Amazing!

Sorry, swiss, corrected!

I love Santana´s Waiting from 1969. To all Germans:
Listen from 5:00 to the end and tell me which German TV show
used it as intro and outro!

Michael Shrieve was also taking part in the 25-minute jam session that happened at Mick Jaggers 1971 marriage with Bianca Moreno I can't remember the rest of her name. Along with Doris Troy, P. P. Arnold, Steve Stills, Bobby Keys, Nicky Hopkins, and David Brown (of Santana).
