Jimi Hendrix's version of the "Star Spangled Banner" is quite poignant because obviously he feels patriotic about his country, but there are some underlying themes if you listen carefully. The destructive explosions on the guitar are a protest to the war in Vietnam, and his sadness for innocent lives being lost is represented by the "taps" theme at 2:40. He also plays part of the melody in a minor key ("our flag was still there") to represent that although he loves his country, he recognizes that there are some things that need fixing and healing in order to move forward. The performance of this at Woodstock in 1969 must have been a very moving moment. Through all the craziness, guitar soloing and sounds of destruction, Hendrix makes the National Anthem still hold true. The question is ... Does Hendrix actually play the whole National Anthem (sing the lyrics in your head as he plays to find out) ?
