If you thought Hendrix's performance at woodstock was only the Star Spangled Banner and a crappy version of Purple Haze, you are mistaken. Hendrix's performance at Woodstock was blazing. He rolls throuh several jams, both worked out & instrumental, in addition to many lucid performances from his standard repertoire. Hendrix is not quite as focused than as at the legendary Band of Gypsies shows at the Fillmore east in 1969/70, but to think that he rolled into the chaos of Woodstock on a Sunday morning and did this is almost amazing. Most of the crowd just sat around smiling, shaking their heads, grooving out. This was no doubt a special moment for most everyone there. I always thought that Woodstock, though memorable, seemed somewhat random & thrown together, but Hendrix restores Cosmic Order with his performance. You can almost feel time leap forward here and there as he spews those now familiar yet ever new sonic flares (you can't really call them "notes" when they are played by Hendrix).
