Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock version of the Star Spangled Banner is more political than I thought!

In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm peeling back the layers of the performance by Jimi Hendrix of America's National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner, at the Woodstock festival in 1969. While listening, I noticed some improvisational expounding outside of the melody by Jimi that come in the song where references to rockets and bombs are included. Come along for the ride as I listen to this classic performance in its entireity for the first time. Enjoy!
