Jimi is the best to ever do it. He was simulating bombs dropping and ambulances, with babies crying, protesting the Vietnam War. All others tried to imitate him
He also plays "Taps" during the anthem...
He's the best, nobody can do that. Moved the game forward more than anyone before or since.
The master
This performance was a protest to the American war in Vietnam. He created the sounds of fighter jets dropping bombs, explosions, and the cries of innocent civilians dying. At the height of that war young people were against it. That’s why it was so popular then and still popular today.
Jimi Hendrix was a veteran and was a member of the 101st Airborne Division.
he did try, but he was too much an artist, nota fighter - they let them him off military duty
My dad was 101st airborne also, during the Korean war, brother 82nd airborne during Vietnam war😎🏹
Best guitarist ever!
WOODSTOCK 1969 was a giant Jimi Hendrix Concert. Three DAYS of Peace , Love and Music, JIMI ended the epic concert early Monday morning in front of a small burned - OUT Crowd.
This was played in the morning, during one of the days during Woodstock. What a way to wake up!
i was there
Arguably this is one of the two greatest guitar performances ever. Jimi kicked open a door here for others to follow, and showed everyone what electronics could really do - in effect he turned the amp into a synthesizer. The other was “Crossroads.” Clapton produced the Mt. Everest of guitar solos, and even he never topped it.
He was in the 101st airborne division, the sreaming eagles. Band of brothers. Jimi loved his country.
Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch this.
The greatest musical moment of the history.
I was 10 in 1969 and man it was fantastic!
After Woodstock regarding Hendrix rendition of the SSB music critic Al Aronowitz of the NY post wrote- " It was the most electrifying moment of Woodstock and it was probably the single greatest moment of the sixties"
omg..okay this is gonna blow your minds...i was there,,i was 7 or 8 , went with my uncle and aunt stayed the entire time..he did this really early in the mornin and it was sooo loud..i will never forget that day
That's awesome. My uncle went to The Newport Pop Festival and he saw Hendrix. He wasn't even a Hendrix fan. The only thing he remembers is the same thing, that he was so loud.
Best guitarist.....
Carlos Santana said listening to Jimi Hendrix play was like listening to someone from Mars play the blues.
Jimi was a war veteran, he saw action. He put "Taps" in the solo to honor those who didn't come home. The solo reflects the chaos of war and what he saw. He was a genius
Jimi was a veteran, but NOT a war veteran!
Jimi never saw war but absolutely was a veteran.
1970, I saw the movie Woodstock at the Hollywood Palladium. The closing act was Jimi playing our national anthem. Having returned from Vietnam the year before, it wasn't difficult to know right off what Hendrix was doing by simulating the sounds of war on his guitar. There were no calming, soft and soothing sounds that came from his guitar. It was the sound of chaos. I was angry and disillusioned that our government was involved in the Vietnam War and had sent me and other young men and women to fight and many to die for no reason. Yet, for some reason, listening to Jimi's rendition of the Star Spangled Banner gave me a renewed feeling of optimism for my country. If we can do that to our national anthem without repercussions, I began to believe that, yes, a change is truly coming.
Well put sir, you nailed it.
Now this is part of what I grew up on! YEAH Jimi!!❤❤❤❤❤👍👍🤘🤘
GREATNESS!
Great reaction guys to a once in a century song that positively had an effect on an entire generation and beyond. I'm 70 and I still put it on at least on the 4th.
Others may argue, but I actually always thought this was a great performance. And no I don't think he was that stoned. He doesn't miss too many notes here. He tried it live again, but what I listened to didn't touch this. The segway into Purple Haze at the end was also seamless. This is the sound of war. Bombs falling and children screaming. Jimi was a veteran of the 82nd airborne, but he was certainly anti-war. (Correction: 101st Air Assault)
Jimi served in the 101st Airborne.
@@rachelbrachman1510 Thank you, that's right.
@@chrisjamieson3452 more like J was tripping, I'd imagine :)
@@SupernalOne Less so. He was fully aware of what he was doing.
Jimi would, in the latter part of his brief career, introduce Purple Haze as the new national American anthem, "until we can get another one together."
Few pay note to what those sounds he was making. Gun fire, rocket whine, explosions. He was, after all, a paratrooper in Vietnam.
It's good to see the younger generations listening to good music
I was 13 year old white boy in the 1990's when I first heard Jimi. I begged for a guitar the next day. Jimi is a guitar god!!!! He's also a veteran
He was an angel and a messenger.
The World Was Watching in 1969 when Jimi Hendrix did his guitar tricks with the anthem
I just recommended this to someone who reacted to another Jimi song! EPIC!
Next, check out the Monterey Pop festival where Jimi set his guitar on fire. That performance was,,,,,🤯
It the most beautiful rendition of the us national anthem….
Omg jimi at his best ...he makes the guitar make SOUNDS . It's a amazing show of his guitar skills . Some people can see the absolute genuis of it ..others find it noise ...but jimi is the GOAT and I love love love this star spangled banner that he does . I think its a shame people can't see the brilliance of it because it's soooooo unconventional lol
When I first heard it, it was on bbc radio 1980 on a 10th anniversary of his death show and quite low volume, I didn't pay full attention and to my untrained ears it sounded like a total amateur attempting to play a tune and going wrong every few seconds. It was only when I saw the movie Woodstock at full volume a couple of years later I realized what he was doing and the sheer mastery, artistry and uniqueness of it.
This is a clip from the 1970 movie 'Woodstock', which was a documentary about the 1969 music festival. Unfortunately, Jimi died in 1970 from a drug overdose before many ever got a chance to see this incredible performance.

Jimi's "Machine Gun".... Greatest guitar solo of all time.
He was the best, not second to anyone. With all due respect there's a lot more to Hendrix that the few you've heard.
Avant lui, pendant son existence et après lui personne ne pourra faire comme lui
Merci beaucoup Jimi Hendrix le meilleur
The sound of greatness!
Classic!❤
Jimi also experimented with distortion (obvious) with amplifiers and was pioneering a "total sound" before his life was cut short at 27.
RIP Jimi - I wish could've met you.
Fun fact: Jimi and Bruce Lee met face to face in Seattle!
I always feel like a spaceship dropped him off on Earth when I hear this performance at Woodstock. Remember Jimi was a paratrooper in the 101st Airborne before pursuing a music career.
In case you didn't know this about Jimi:
Before Hendrix was 19 years old, law authorities had twice caught him riding in stolen cars. Given a choice between prison or joining the Army, he chose the latter and enlisted on May 31, 1961. After completing eight weeks of basic training at Fort Ord, California, he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division and stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky. He arrived on November 8, and soon afterward he wrote to his father: "There's nothing but physical training and harassment here for two weeks, then when you go to jump school ... you get hell. They work you to death, fussing and fighting." In his next letter home, Hendrix, who had left his guitar in Seattle at the home of his girlfriend Betty Jean Morgan, asked his father to send it to him as soon as possible, stating: "I really need it now." His father obliged and sent the red Silvertone Danelectro on which Hendrix had hand-painted the words "Betty Jean" to Fort Campbell. His apparent obsession with the instrument contributed to his neglect of his duties, which led to taunting and physical abuse from his peers, who at least once hid the guitar from him until he had begged for its return. In November 1961, fellow serviceman Billy Cox walked past an army club and heard Hendrix playing. Impressed by Hendrix's technique, which Cox described as a combination of "John Lee Hooker and Beethoven", Cox borrowed a bass guitar and the two jammed. Within weeks, they began performing at base clubs on the weekends
Jimi was a god. I was a little kid when he passed but a huge fan. Stevie Ray Vaughn was a huge Jimi fan. I got to see him live before he passed in 1990. To my ears they were the best ever. Not not perfect but just playing from their soul.
He changed everything
I had the original Woodstock album, and it had the seal! Hendrix took up all of one side on a 2 album set!
Jimi's brother was in the service at this time, the higher ups treated him like shit because of this version. All the improvised picks were representing born falling in Nam.
purple haze and hey joe are my favorite
What people don’t realize is this was Jimi’s first live performance since the breakup of the Experience. He walked on stage with Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell and 4 relatively unknown musicians.
The best!!!
Jimi!
Jimi produced one of the greatest pieces of art of the 20th century; up there with Picasso, Dali etc. He brilliantly expressed the great paradox that is America - beautiful on the surface yet distorted and corrupt underneath. He painted the pain and the horror that is America's compulsion to war. That performance will forever live in history. Like any great piece of art, it forces you to view life from a different perspective with the blinkers off. The slow learners were shattered because they could not confront the reality of America that Jimi exposed.
fun fact: Jimi was the last act to perform at Woodstock, honestly i don't think any other performers wanted to go on after him but the story told at the time is he just got there late from England , most people had left that morning , there was only 20- 40 thousand left from the max of about 300 to 400 hundred thousand and this is what they woke up to from a great nite of roc an roll the nite before , everybody was hung over, the conditions were miserable and Hendrix put on probley the best show he ever performed , the star spangled banner was a master piece.
I have watched much woodstock but he is one of the top 5 of mine.
The Electric Prophet From The Acid Age
Just as good 55 years later
Godlike Jimi was Godlike
great cover of To Anacreon in Heaven
He went on the Dick Cavett show and Dick ask him how he felt about people saying it was disgraceful how he played it. He said, "I don't understand, I thought it was beautiful!" He was a proud American and was a soldier at one time.
Greatest antiwar protest of all time
The guitar that Jimi Hendrix was playing was a Fender
Jimi proudly wears good ol' red, white, and blue!
(& to all the nay-sayers, he dressed himself, and he wasn't color-blind, so just shh;)
Beautiful British colours.
@@apriliatuono2056 Surely beautiful hues of 17 different countries, including Russia, & each with unique symbolism for said three colors. "Gods bless us everyone!"🤞
He actually served in the army for 4 years before the Vietnam war.
The anthem's history began the morning of September 14, 1814, when an attorney and amateur poet named Francis Scott Key watched U.S. soldiers-who were under bombardment from British naval forces during the War of 1812-raise a large American flag over Fort McHenry in Baltimore, Maryland.
A lot of people don’t know that Jimmy Hendrix was also a sergeant in the army
I believe Jimi Hendrix rank was private first class but there was a Jimi R Hendrix who was a Marster Sergeant
Think about it !!!...Do you know any other country that allows someone to express themselves by doing their national anthem like that? Not many !!! Freedom of expression is what makes your country great....never forget that.
Hi ! gars I think that Jimi try to pass a message whitout words only with his guitare , against the war in vietnam .
Jimi was a united states army paratrooper until he broke his ankle! Listen to Band of Gypsys Live at the Apollo "Machine Gun"
That's a Stratocaster he was playing
Now you should check out Zakk Wylde's rendition of America the beautiful.
Politicians need to play this when they are thinking of war mongering.
Check out him doing machine gun and a tune called Pali gap
Complete with bombs dropping and exploding, and sirens and screaming.
This was about to Vietnam war.You hear gunshots Mortar round grenades😊
This was important to the anti Vietnam war. Guitar playing like bombs coming down
Who thinks this Jimi Hendrix National Anthem is a hit?
SECOND BEST ???!!!!! - ARE YOU CRAZY !!! - NOBODY CAN COMPARE TO HENDRIX !!!
The 2nd best????????????????????? WTF was better than Jimi Hendrix???????????
died way too young.
Love when Americans play British songs
Good old English drinking song.
U guys should try to listen to petra the greatest Christian rock band of all time
Amps and sound systems cant make those sounds today...
Second best?
Pride? He was pointing out the hell the USA was raining on the Vietnamese people because of America's misguided mass murder being committed in Vietnam at the very moment Jimi was playing his version of the national anthem. He also lived in England. He was pretty much an expat. Not sure about the pride bit.
HENDRIX etait un musicien instrumentiste et un homme de paix@je pense sincèrement qu il n a pas d egal 60ans plus tard@hendrix ne recherchait pas la vitesse mais les sons@mais c etait aussi un virtuose qui pouvait jouer très très vite quand il le fallait@Fire joué par HENDRIX à santa clara juin 1969 n a pas d egal@ou machine gun décembre 1969@et que dire l hymne américain à woodstok @
Hendrix second best !? bruh , i love ya but i can't be with you on that one .
Did I just hear you say that Jimi was the second best??? I’m sure you didn’t say that
Lo vetaron un rato por tocar el himno usa el primero en tocar el himno diferente gran hendrix
You won’t hear it again that’s for sure
Second best to whom? Because if it’s Stevie….we’ll no Jimi, no Stevie in that iteration
And this was an anti Vietnam moment….Jimi was not proud of america at all…he was being ironic…
Way before your time, I get that
Watching you two tells me you should have read about the song BEFORE you played it. You obviously have no idea what Jimi Hendrix was trying to say with his guitar.
The bombs falling and people screaming,trying to get away is kinda haunting when you understand what jimi was trying to say.
Two schools of thought, patriotic fervour verses anti war protest. Most of us know the answer, do you?
