Shaping Your Journey with Micheal Shrieve 

Thank you for your comments and for watching the podcast ..please share as we continue to spread the word about this fun and worthwhile podcast :)

So much more to Michael than the public persona, A heartfelt humble musician (Yes, we Drummers are musicians..) His clear honest perspective of himself and the world he fits into is a lesson everyone should apply to their lives. 'Live where you belong'. So glad to have found this and the real Michael Shrieve ... God bless he is an inspiration to so many.

Thank you for watching Lisa …more coming :)

What an absolutely beautiful discussion! Thank you both so much!

These guys get along so well it makes it so enjoyable to listen to. Both of their stories are so interesting and grounded. I’ve drummed for 40 years but Michael’s Woodstock solo just caught me now. I feel rewarded to have “met”him though this interview at 72 with his wisdom and diplomacy. Thank you for this.

What a fascinating interview with such a talented musician and and inspirational human being! Thank you Michael. for sharing your awesome talents with the world!

Great interview. Michael Shrieve is a great drummer. Novo Combo.

What an incredible find! Love Michael! My parents saw the Tanglewood show and I’m forever jealous! I thank them for introducing me to Santana and to this incredible drummer!

Michael Shrieve, you're great, I really like Santana, starting around Woodstock 69, I like you as a great drummer. You're still the best.

At first glance I thought it was Mike Mill’s from REM.. Mike’s sporting grey hair same length as he wear’s similar glasses. What a guest I was 8 or 9 years old when Woodstock had this festival. My neighbors had the album and I enjoyed listening to it all. This was Three house’s down from my childhood home. I really enjoyed seeing this man on his kit. I think it was said he was tripping during the whole concert. He delivered an excellent performance and he was so young.

Love you Michael Shrieve. You are awesome. I love that you mentioned Ringo

The new age of drummers during 1970s Mr Micheal Shrieve, Mr Chancler, and Mr Lear were favorite Santana drummer heros, and what a beautiful interview ... Peace and Goodwill to all.

Great interview ! I'm thrilled to learn that Michael was doing so much recording back in the Santana days, even on a cheap cassette player, if that's what he had. Now he mentions wanting to get these tapes "cleaned up" and archived to share with the public. That's a dream come true for me. What I'm most interested in is from Santana, during the years of 1972 and 1973, when they had the GREAT bassist Doug Rauch, laying down some nasty funk and incredible bass lines and fills, along with keyboardist Richard Kermode, laying down some great Salsa grooves. For me, that was the Santana band at their peak of creativity and awesomeness. I'd also like to hear any material from Michael's " Automatic Man" band, which I had the pleasure of seeing at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, sometime in the mid-70's, and I also have their promo picture from the Automat Recording Studio in SF. Michael Shrieve has always been on my top drummer list of all time. I hope someone can provide a link to these archived tapes when Michael gets them ready.

his 15 minutes of fame lasted over 50 yrs ... well deserved too.

I first found you in the band HASA, great music.

Namaste Michael and Aldo

Brasil Rio de Janeiro Sou de 1972.

How does a Canadian not think of Neil Peart when talking rock drummers?
