Those few minutes of frenzied feedback and haunting dive-bombs made for one of the most defining moments of the ’60s, however, the rest of the concert was somewhat shaky.ĭon’t get me wrong, this is still an incredible concert, but if you peel back the layers of mythology surrounding Woodstock itself, you find a show that is near perfect but not quite. This transcendent performance of The Star-Spangled Banner will live forever, there’s no doubt about it. Throughout history, The Winterland Ballroom has always brought the best out those who performed there, and of the three nights recorded there, Hendrix performed definitive versions of Purple Haze, Tax Free, Spanish Castle Magic along with covers of Bob Dylan’s Like A Rolling Stone and Cream’s Sunshine Of Your Love. This is the absolute peak of Jimi Hendrix’s live performance career. However, the version found here is the defining rendition of Jimi’s magnum opus, packing a toppling emotional punch. The instrumental jam at the Cafe Au Go-Go is hauntingly brilliant. Jimi Hendrix rarely performed Little Winglive.
