¡Live at Woodstock
¡Jimi Hendrix
Description
[Machine Translation] On the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival, we are pleased to announce the re-release of a film that captures Jimi Hendrix on stage, which will remain in many people's memories. Officially known as the "Woodstock Music & Art Fair," the three-day event took place August 15-17, 1969, in Bethel, New York. Jimi was scheduled to perform on the last day of the fair, but due to inclement weather and delays, he did not appear until around 8:30 AM on the morning of the 18th. Although only about 50,000 people remained in the crowd of over 400,000, Jimi left a famous and vivid impression on the stage for the rest of his life. Since the Experience had already disbanded, the band that took the stage was Gypsy Sun & Rainbows, formed with Mitch Mitchell (dr), Billy Cox (b), Larry Lee (g), and two percussionists. Although there were some who disagreed with the band's composition, the performance was a masterpiece, especially the American national anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner," which was torn to shreds and reconstructed by the intense guitar sound of effectors, expressing in sound the situation of the United States during the Vietnam War. It eventually became a legendary performance that symbolized the 60's era.
