Hendrix cunningly decided to use the music’s own bombastic nature to project the violence carried out under his nation’s flag. Speaking to Dick Cavett after the performance, Hendrix revealed that he intended to show his discontent for the continuing war by performing the song. As ever with Hendrix, the show wasn’t just a throwaway moment he performed the song for a reason. But none did it as effectively as Hendrix when he stepped on the stage and delivered this insane performance of the US national anthem.
Everyone from The Who to Jefferson Airplane to Joe Cocker and beyond were in attendance and ready to tear up the stage.
Woodstock festival was jam-packed with incredible names.
