Jimi Hendrix National Anthem U S A Woodstock 1969

Jimi Hendrix in historic performance National Anthem Woodstock 1969

[@chucklee347]

To think this almost didn't happen. When jimi mentioned finishing with this they did everything they could to talk him out of it. Thanks for not listening Jimi.

[@nugsymalone1247]

And it wasn't even at the end, his whole show was soo damn good.

[@paulmartos7730]

Pure genius. Note that he tuned the strings even as he played. A member of his band said that if his guitar wasn't in tune he would usually simply bend the strings to get the proper notes.

Being 101was maybe just one reason why his immortal versión was not too much frowned upon

[@jeffputman3504]

When I was in high school, the school installed a Muzak system that would play music in the hallways between classes. One day, someone pulled a prank. They snuck a phonograph into the school, and wired it into the school's sound system. During class, the whole school got to hear THIS recording!

[@urgdaddy]

That's beautiful LOL.

[@steparko23]

The way he goes from the National Anthem to bombs and screams, then back to the National Anthem again, will always be a great reminder of the American governments true stars & stripes - warmongers!

[@lowgpu1687]

💀As much as this is funny, it sadly is true.

[@TheBatugan77]

He's actually playing the lyrics if you think about it. "And the rockets red glare...bombs bursting midair...". Absolutely genius.

[@franklunt8975]

If you pay attention to his face throughout the look of his concentration and total absorption. He is totally in the zone. He's living the experience as if he was actually in a war zone. Living his imagination through his guitar. TRUE GENIUS 🎸❤️❤️

[@tillmeyer8778]

no lmao, it's Jeff Beck by far

[@wallypoffle7796]

Jimi produced one of the greatest pieces of art of the 20th century; up there with Picasso, Dali etc. He brilliantly expressed the great paradox that is America - beautiful on the surface yet distorted and corrupt underneath. He painted the pain and the horror that is America's compulsion to war. That performance will forever live in history.

With how much military service was around Jimi and his whole family whether growing up in Seattle as a black man where most black citizens were GI’s of some sort, to his service time himself where he learned to play the guitar, to the combat time spent by his relatives, the chaos forward thinking playing in between the chords we expect feels like it and this entire song carries a bigger impact with him.

[@cameroncurrie7208]

I was 9 years old living in Montreal when i saw that. I was hooked. I have lived through the best music in history now. I saw more than 50 concerts in the 70s..alone. unfu..king believable. Queen Elo Styx Santana.

[@primovid]

All you have to do is think about how you've never heard any other rock band or guitarist play this version of Star Spangled Banner. What other legendary rock song is never played by others? That alone is enough to exemplify how truly unique and amazing this performance is.
