@iwishiwastheredude: An interesting fact about Jimi Hendrix’s live performance at Woodstock in 1969 is that although the festival drew nearly 400,000 people, only about 30,000 were still there when he finally took the stage — at 9 a.m. on Monday morning, hours behind schedule. Despite the exhausted, shrinking crowd, Hendrix delivered one of the most iconic performances in rock history, including his electrifying, distorted rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” He used feedback, dive bombs, and sustain to mimic the sounds of bombs and gunfire, turning the U.S. anthem into a haunting commentary on the Vietnam War. It wasn’t just a guitar solo — it was a statement that transformed the electric guitar into a voice of protest and power… #jimihendrix #70s #woodstock #fyp #music

I saw Stevie Ray Vaughan at deer Creek in 89. I was laying on the hill with some friends, fall star picture above, and thought this is the closest Wheel ever get to Hendrix.🥰

One thing I always noticed about Jimi was how huge his hands were. His fingers wrapped around the neck and then some.
