Jimi Hendrix National Anthem U S A Woodstock 1969

[@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.

Did Hendrix have perfect pitch?

[@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.

[@oskarbjornstad877]

Not sure if that’s accurate. He played the national anthem since ‘68

[@chucklee347]

@oskarbjornstad877 yes but I know they thought it wouldn't go over well because Vietnam was in full force at that time. And young men were being drafted. If I wasn't right I would have never said it. I don't talk just to hear my own words. You can research this for yourself. And find the truth just as I did.

[@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!

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 🎸❤️❤️

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.

[@JohnMelin-t9h]
