In class we finished up Woodstock with none other than the great Jimi Hendrix and his performance which is the one you know about when anything related with Woodstock comes  up even if you are barely know anything about the festival. Jimi Hendrix (and his glowing aura of cool) at Woodstock and his rendition of the national anthem brought more to life with a guitar than most singers with full orchestral accompaniment can even come close to and ever will, complete with whistling and exploding bombs and sirens (American and British, yes they sound different) and other sounds from the battlefield played out on a guitar to bring a new perspective to the anthem while flawlessly transitioning to the rest of his equally great songs. The only bad thing is that the recording equipment used by the crew mashed a lot of the sound together comes off as white noise at times.
