NUESTRO HIMNO, eat your heart out... (National anthem debate)
Edited on Sat Apr-29-06 06:35 PM by derby378
To me, this is the quintessential "alternative" version of The Star-Spangled Banner:

Jimi Hendrix, performing our National Anthem at the Woodstock Music Festival in 1969.

Who's with me on this?

2. Fixed the image code...
Now the immortal Jimi should show up in the OP just fine.

Rock on, James Marshall Hendrix. We hear you loud and clear.

4. My thoughts exactly
My wife says it loses a little something if all you do is hear it - she prefers to actually watch Jimi perform it onstage. There's something to be said for that.

It's just a shame that more festival attendees didn't stick around long enough to watch him perform it live. But at least it's been caught on film for all eternity.
