Woodstock Festival Photos from 1969: From Eccentric Spectators to Spellbinding Performances from Iconic Singers

Jimi Hendrix By The  Star-Spangled Banner

Jimi Hendrix was undoubtedly one of the most eagerly awaited artists at Woodstock. Technical delays and weather issues made the festival stretch into Monday morning, and by the time he got there with his band, Gypsy Sun & Rainbows, the crowd had shrunk to fewer than 5,000 individuals. But those fortunate people undoubtedly witnessed a performance to remember.

If Hendrix’s band’s name didn’t immediately give you a hint, then his attire ought to. This flower child was one of the greatest guitarists ever to grace the planet. And one of the most iconic events of that decade is still his superb performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
